Everyone I could imagine showed up….The crazy old lady who use to babysat when I was four…
Oh please don’t let her remember me…..Oh please just go about your discussions for mamma sakes…

The chattering just suddenly stopped…Then I noticed…
There’s nothing but silence as the last guest leaves the room
I wish she’d stay a little longer …I wish she would continue reminiscing the times when you we’re both young…Mamma, is grateful to have such a great friend like Cherry…She gaved us kisses & wished us well she was ready to leave

Life will began it’s story…as it unfolds….
It will demand from you more than you thought you’d taken…
For all those chances you’ve forsaken…

No one can tell how to get there…
But they’ll always be someone to guide you…
Don’t wait for time to turn it’s page…
Don’t wait, it is never too late…
Take the time to love & endure yourself…
Encourage well being and good faith…  Read more... (156 words, estimated 37 secs reading time)
