Richard

Richard   ( Acrostic )

R...Ricieve with joy what is given to you.
I...It is yours to enjoy.
C...Calm the storm, that's in your Soul.
H...Happiness is yet to come.
A...Always lend a helping hand.
R...Remember always your true friends.
D...Delight to others - you always bring.

Written by Lucilla M. Carrillo

Note: I put a lot of thought to write
this poem, as there are two gentlemen
here with that name. This is for you.

Thanks, Lucilla, the storm has quieted a long time ago and has been replaced with many gifts. God has lavished me with his love. Thankyou for this thoughtful message, you are a sweetheart.

Y no sabia que eras una Valley Girl. Oh how I miss the valley. I lived in various places over the years, Mcallen, Pharr, Edinburg, Hidalgo, even a short time in Reynosa. Anyway was reading your bio and had to make that comment.
