“Please
give me strength to laugh
the strength to try
the strength to laugh
the strength to cry
the strength to hope
the strength to cope
the strength to one day say good-bye
to fly into a bright sky.”

lived through todays.
Looking on toward tomorrows -
new characters, new plays.

The whys of life change,
and so do ways,
new scenery is built,
to fill an empty stage.”

“When Grandma read me:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall . . .

I never
knew
that
Humpty's
fall
was
something
that
someday
comes
to
us
all.”
