Lest We Forget
From the moment of your anxiously awaited birth
Love and favors have been lavished on you.
To your mother and daddy you were the dearest thing on earth.
To brothers and sisters you were extra special too.
Life is so wonderful it is not our desire to forfeit one day.
YOU are YOU - because mother and daddy passed life your way.
You owe them lots of love they were always there for you.
Are your payments up to date or are you overdue?
Your life could have been rough - for all around you to see.
Had mother and daddy not met your needs and lovingly bounced you on their
knee.
They met your needs because they loved you - their precious child.
Your smiles and laughs pleased them so -- your tears drove them wild.
It matters not how old we are or where on the road of life we might be.
If its happiness you are seeking - then love is the key.
Besides mother and daddy, and brothers and sisters, many others will bring
love into your life.
I thank God for my precious children and a wonderful loving wife.
Go to a cemetery and notice all the beautiful flowers you see.
All trying to say, "I love you" to someone that used to be.
Let us show our love while the precious gift of life is ours.
Don't' wait too late and have to say it with beautiful flowers.

Lest We Die
Man can not live by bread alone
some have tried -- many are gone.
Above your stomach there is your heart.
It must have love, if it is to do its part.
Above your heart there is a very active mind
Ever searching for truth, all it can find.
You are no hermit, secluded and still.
You are in there fighting, prompted by a very strong will.
There is your conscience, covering you like a quilt,
Seeking relief from fear, blunders you have made, and guilt.
Is there hope that someday you will experience immortality
And that at the moment of your death it will be reality?
Have you ever battled a problem that at first you could not solve,
but you did not give up because of an inward resolve?
Have you ever on this ladder of life you soar
Found a place so familiar you felt you had been there before?
Have you ever been up, with things better than you could ever hope,
Then suddenly you are down, feeling I can not cope?
Take a look inside of you, as deeply as you are able.
You will find just a small part of what sustains you comes from a table.
