I have no idea where this is going yet but my plan is to hit the memorable parts of my life until the present. We will see what we will see.
To Give and to Receive
(Part I)
By Franklin Price
05/08/2023
Looking back upon my life
To the days when I was young
Did not know where I was going
My shingle not yet hung
Was the youngest in the family
Altogether there were nine
Two brothers and four sisters
And two parents that were fine
Had a roof above my head
Never hungered for a bite
Always slept within a warm bed
When I rested for the night
My parents were the very best
Always taught me right from wrong
There were places I should be
And ones where I did not belong
Went to church on every Sunday
In the morning and the eve
Where I continued learning
How to give and to receive
From the first times I remember
Christ was always in my life
He was always by my side
Through all happiness and strife
His hand was on my shoulder
To guide my steps along the way
I wonder, if 'twas not for Him,
Where I would be in life today
(End Part I)
