These are two of the greatest people you will ever meet on the face of this earth... my wonderful parents! Dad is (and always will be) the great protector... his many years of law enforcement have forever turned him against any type of internet posting of pictures. Sorry, Dad! I know you don't want your picture and esp. pictures of your grandkids online. Mom has recently started writing what we're calling "Memoirs"... things we will have long after she's gone. She is truly a gifted writer. Some of these (well, a lot of these) are in the form of poems. There are so many great writings of hers that it's hard to pick a favorite... but I will be posting some of them...Enjoy!
THE ROAD
Sometimes it’s narrow, sometimes it’s straight
It may travel far or end at the gate.
Some are rocky and some are long
Whilst others are bumpy, dirty – no fun.
We can’t live without them so it seems
It is the way we must travel to reach our dreams.
Our dreams of wisdom, fortune and fame
Can only be had by this pathway of gain.
Sometimes well traveled and sometimes it’s new
Sometimes it’s weary, it’s the same avenue.
Tis the road of life of which I speak
A road you must take though often bleak.
Sometimes to treasures and many good things
Sometimes to heartache and pain that it brings.
The key to this path is simple you see
Never travel alone; with Him you must be.
He alone knows which way to go;
He can help carry your heavy load.
It is He who carved out this path in life
So who else should we trust with our plight.
