Hillyquote
An old man said to me,"life
is hard if you let it be!"
I ask him, " sir just what do you
mean?"
He said," Even a dog sometime
need to dream!"
So I sit and thought before I spoke:
life just a joke.
He Said," Life must be lived each day:
the only way is to play and pray!"
With this he turned and walked away,
not to be seen another day.
Lesson learned if nothing more, never
close the open door!
