A son is someone special- From the moment he arrives He puts new joy and interest Into his parents lives...
And as he grows to manhood Those who love him best can see How wonderfully rewarding A son can really be!
And then its nice to add a line To say you'll always be A source of pride and happiness To all the family!
1981
A TRIBUTE
I think of you in silence, My feelings seldom show, But how it hurts to lose you No one will ever know.
I hope there is eternal life, So we can meet again. I not only lost my brother, I lost my very best friend.
The reason you left so early I'll never understand why. I just wish I'd known you were never coming back. 'Cause I would have said Good Bye. by Martha King, Concord NH.
S L O W D A N C E:
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's
erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun
into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day
on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

I was asked to pass this on to everyone I knew. I thought of Tuffy when I read this so I thought I'd let him pass it on too.
