Reflections
(By Rffhert James Ryan
I sometimes Hookjnto my mothers eyes,
And witness past andpresent meeting;
Apprehension for the unseen future;
And sorrow for ad things fleeting.
In oldphotographs I have seen
A young miss in fashion of the day.
How clear the 6eauty of your youth,
Eyes smiling in memories now farceway.
A lifetime qflbve-fiQeddeeds
I glimpse now in a wed of tears,
Andsee 6eauty set in each line of care
'That has formedover each of my years.
5Vo 6eauty of youth is lost for you,
(But has grown over all of your time.
Come, see in my eyes how you are today,
0 6eautifuC mother of mine
We LoveYou,
Your Children

When the last scene of his fife flashed 6 fore him,
he tbohfd bacliat the footprints in the sand Me

There is A Time for Everything
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven: A time to be bom, and a time to
die; a time to plant, anda time to plucfup that which is
planted; A time to fall and a time to heal a time to break
down, and a time to buildup; A time to weep, and time to
laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast
away stones, and a time to gather stones together, a time to
embrace, and a time to rfrainfrom embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to hgep, and a time
to cast away; A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to
Ifep silence, and a time to speak A time to love, and a time
to hate; a time ofwar, anda time of peace.
