It is so beautiful down here in the summer.

Boats, festivals, family and friends.

It is so beautiful down here in the autumn.

Leaves changing, festivals, family and friends.

It is so beautiful down here in the winter,

Naked trees, festivals, family and friends.

It is beautiful down here in the spring.

Flowers and trees budding,

festivals, family and friends.

I got to take you home with me

Got to Take You Home with Me

“It depends on which hole you are in…”

“Don’t let the appearance of people fool you!...

They’ll do it every time.”

“People know how they treat you.”

“The way a person looks

doesn’t determine how they live”

“If a person ignores you,

then say nothing to them”

Quotes That Remind Me

of Who I Am”

LIFE’S CHAIN

Yesterday, and today are here

Tomorrow awaits you!

Like a chain through the years

gathering its links

One by one, day by day

Month by month, year by year

And you stop, to count its links

There are happy links

Sad links

Funny links

Joyful links

There are some links you can’t remember

how it got there

But it needed you.

Some links you tried to let go, but it held on tight

because it needed you.

Or you gathered the links because you needed it.

No matter how it happened

It created a bond,

To teach, to be a family

To be a friend, to reach out

To care

It held tight together to be our bond,

To bring us through

Storms, high winds

Changing times

Weathering times through it all

It brought out to the best of times

Keep adding links to your chain

You have many more

We don’t know what tomorrow brings!

Just remember

You are with us always

We are bound together like a chain
