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.

All angles of the photograph Toe...are what make you the wonderful person you are.  I enjoy the tender side of you in these.

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!
