These are several of my old antique "from the heart" thinggies.....Hell, I just noticed I've been here at PIP a really long time? How have you all put up with me this long? Trump And Gates Have Nothing On Me If they told me I was dying, I really couldn't complain, I had two parents that loved me I've found happiness few attain. I've had a few prayers answered, God's works are simply great, I've seen miracles everywhere, This has taught me faith. I've brought life into this world, I've sadly taken it too, The first is unforgettable The other will always haunt you. I've gained my share of money I can purchase material things, Can't take any with me, Nor the pleasure they claim to bring. I've seen my children grow healthy, Their laughter and joys and tears God they grew so quickly What happened to all those years? True wealth's not counted in money, Nor what you have in the banks The laughter and love of family and friends, For this wealth I truly give thanks. _____________________________________ Kodak Can't Compete May your sunsets be of color Enhancing your day's end pleasure Ending your day with happiness, Beyond all human measure. God gives us glory all around With miracles each day, The cry of a newborn child, Or when rainbows are displayed The unusual is now just common, With Autumn leaves displayed, Starting out each morning Thru colored sunrise rays. Just go down to the ocean Where colors change horizons Grab your Kodak moment Feel breathless in your sighing. I live each day as it may be The last I walk this earth, I appreciate these treasures And live life for all it's worth. |

I like you! ~ lotz! And there are a lot of sides of you to like, my dear, multi-faceted friend with a big warm, fuzzy heart and a grand and fun-loving soul! I know a great deal about the good, the bad, and the ugly that you have experienced in your life, but to me, you have survived it all magnificently and have come out smelling like the rose you truly are. You still have some challenges left in life, but I have faith that you'll climb to the summit of those mountains as well. I should make a cape for you, dear Toe Man the Hero! Linda |
