Don't look back to yesterday, fo r yesterdays are gone.
Look to today with a peaceful heart, as each moment you carry on...
Take GOD'S hand as HE leads you on. Now each day, you start a new,
Walk with HIM, and talk with HIM. HE wants to be with you.
Don't look back to yesterday, for yesterdays have past.
look to today, with a peaceful mine, with a spiritual thought that will last.
Follow GOD as HE takes you though each moment, one-by-one.
Pray to HIM and say to HIM, "Lord, let Thy Will be done."
Don't look back; because I won't be there, I'll be waiting in the air.....
Remember "me" with love in your heart as, Mom, Auntie, Grandma, and Great-Grandma
Love You, Marguerite Brannon
