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)
