William Orville Ritchie

My LifeAs we travel along life's wayMany things happen from day to daySome things we would care to forget at the startAnd some things we hold dear and close to our heartsWe've had sickness, sadness, sorrow, and griefAnd bills piling up with it, seems no reliefAs I sum up all those troubles and moreThe good days couldn't possibly even the scoreBut when I think this I'm wrong, wrong as can beFor when I look at the bright side, here is what I seeI see home I can sit in and watch the rainBeat slow and steady on the windowpaneI see a wife that to me is so dear and sweetOne that I love with a love so completeFour children laughing and climbing the wallsAll healthy and screaming and running the hallsAll these things I'll say over and over againMore than make up for the troubles and painSo I'll live life as it comes with its sorrow and joysJust me, my wife, our two girls and two boys.
