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,

Footprints 
One night a man had a dream. Me dreamed he was 
Wathjng along the Seach -with the LO<RD. ^Across 
the shy flashed scenes from his fife. Tor each scene, 
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one 
belonged to him, and the other to the LOTS). 
When the last scene of his fife flashed 6 fore him, 
he tbohfd bacliat the footprints in the sand Me 
noticed that many times along the path of his fife 
there was onfy one set of footprints. Me also 
noticed that it happened at the very lowest and 
saddest times in his (fe. 
This realty bothered him and he questioned the

decided to follow you, youd walf^ with me ad 
the way. (But I have noticed that during the 
most troublesome times in my (fe, there is only 
one set of footprints. I dont understand why
