Most Blessed
Expend no thoughts of sympathy for me.
I am of all people most blessed.
I have no complaints toward God nor man.
Life has passed my expectations test.
I have witnessed life spring forth from the womb,
And lived to see the miracle again and again.
I have baptized Cabecar in cold mountain stream.
And seen prisoners by the hundreds born again and again.
One day I will be old and frail,
One day this body will give up the ghost.
But I was blessed to follow adventure’s trail.
And of all my peers I believed myself blessed the most.
