Reach For the Farthest Star

My son, you hold the universe in your hand
    The future is limitless, reach for the farthest star
 
  Let the fire in your belly ignite, stoke it with all your might
    Remember one thing only ~ the chasm 'tween wrong and right

We can teach the youth these precepts, it is for them to choose. Thank the Lord for his mercy. We are vulnerable and imperfect. God bless you, Gershon!

Great advice from a father to a son ! Stellar! Yes, there is a chasm between right and wrong.

There's also a chasm between a couple of teeth in my mouth. In Colorado they call it 'the Grand Canyon.'
