Words of Wisdom By Grandma Bea

Wisdom from Grandma Bea

The worth of a man isn't his looks
It's not to be found in fashion books
But in the legacy he leaves behind
As he goes about his daily grind
Was he loved by family and friends?
That's what counts as this life ends

For John Freeman's Wisdom contest
