Treasure This-F
It is recorded in the Bible that the memory of the righteous will be a blessing;
And it further states that the name of the wicked shall rot.*
Such truths were never more refreshing when I recalled pleasures of my childhood.
Just around the bind from where I lived
Was a home with a television set.
For me and my friends, this meant the
Three Stooges, Tarzan, Mickey Mouse,
Roy Rodgers, Dale Evans, and The Lone Ranger.
I and other kids all around the neighborhood gathered
And watched make believe, never fearing any danger.
This first television set in my poor community grew kids aplenty. As we were being entertained, we fell in love with a gracious lady.
Some people give nothing to others, and are soon forgotten.
Many like our lovely neighbor, are best UNFORGOTTEN.
A dear friend of my mother, she was strong, gentle, and kind.
Her husband called me Gabby, and her name was Mary
