I really never doubted, That we'd always be together. It seems that when you're young, You think, that all life's storms you'll weather... But as the years pass swiftly, You find out you were wrong- And things that once seemed timeless... You discover are long gone. Dad, so strong and able- Grows old, and weak, and gray. Mama grows so feeble, And then she's passed away... Brothers, sisters, cousins- The list goes on and on. Too soon our lives have passed us by, And they are all long gone. So, if you want a moral- I guess I'‘ leave you one... Live life to the fullest, Before, your course, you've run. Record a lot of memories, Compose your farewell song... Live life in such a fashion- Friends regret that you're long gone. |

Words of wisdom, John! I hope these words inspire its readers, for we all need to think about the concept of which you write... -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
