“I’m learning how to find my way – so far, so good.”
“I count my blessings every day – so far, so good.”
“One more moment, one more minute, I take the good and get right in it – so far, so good.”
“I’ve got a place to lay my head – so far, so good.
To everyone whose not so blessed, I say a prayer and send my best, and now I lay me down to rest – so far, so good!”
