The Rise

When was it, we all learned That soon we would find In order to get "Ahead" You had to leave some folks behind And measuring success Simply by your bottom line Against all of the rest And counting every dime Reaching up To Grasp the stars Is certainly not a crime Just remember all those who Helped you with your climb

My father was my rock in my life, he was wise, kind, clever and a perfect father. We lost him when he was 66 to cancer. His advice always helped me climb in life. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
