On the rare occasion that someone asks me to say grace before a meal, I will recite the chorus to this song. It really is a beautiful prayer. I change one word, though--instead of "Don't let us get old" I'll say it "Don't let us get sick." Warren got his wish--he didn't get old, did he? And that is a tragedy I do not want to see repeated among the other people I care about.
