Nine decades of stories to tell,
Of living life and living well.
Like an oak with deep-set roots,
Still bearing sweetest wisdom's fruits.

As you dance through steps of time.
Ninety years have set you free
To show what life can truly be.

Your light grows stronger day by day.
Living history in your smile,
Making every day worthwhile.
A hundred years, and still you show
How beautifully a soul can grow.
