Four Thing's

Four Things

Four things in any land must dwell, 
If it endures and prospers well:
One is manhood true and good;
One is noble womanhood;
One is child life, clean and bright;
And one an altar kept alight.

Thank you, Milton; I valued every word you speak. But, sadly enough, in these times we live, it isn't the case anymore; very few hold to this. So, have a great day, Milton, and I hope you enjoyed your vacation! Best of Wishes, William
