Not many people know your past
Or what your thoughts can find within
Assumptions come, but should they last
We’ve all had quotas to begin

Time is such a teaching curve
Each day brings tests which we could fail
And though we think we don’t deserve
We add some strength with one more nail

And if we fall, again we’ll stand
Until that day of end and sorrow
For friends and family take our hand
And show us there is still tomorrow

So every day, rewrite a page
Your diary of the day that was
While thankful you are here to age
And why that is; well --- just because

As they say, when we 'assume' we are making an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'.

May you have wonderful things to write in your diary every single day for the rest of your life!

Loving hug 'n a smile,
Linda

Good attitude, Rick. We might as well make the best of what we have. I guess the alternative is misery.
