Smile
February 28, 2009
Life Is Too Short,
Break The Rules, Forgive Quickly,
Kiss Slowly, Love Truly,
Laugh Uncontrollably,
And Never Regret Anything
That Made You Smile.
Life May Not Be The Party
We Hoped For,
But While We’re Here, We Should Dance…

POEM
February 28, 2009
Daddy, are you gone forever
To a land so bright and fair
While your children weep unstopping?
Can you hear us? Are you there?
God will keep you, Daddy dear,
Till we greet by and by.
For a moment is our sorrow,
Joy forever in the sky,
Oh, how bravely did you leave us
Sailing on and far.
How our hearts did break within us
At the thought forever more.
