Your Precious Life

Your Life
Your Precious Life

You went to school, learned about history and much more.
One day, you carried your beautiful wife, across the threshold to 
begin a new life!

Raised children, paid the expense by sending them to private schools.
You worked grueling hours, all your life.
Sometimes  both you and your wife, had two jobs to avoid strife.

So, stop being ashamed of all you have done.
Acknowledge yourself for all your contributions to the poor.
You have done throughout all these years.

Thanksgiving Day is to be thankful, to your God.
Make a fine dinner and stop the presses from making you  
the fault and cause of others messes.

Well penned my friend. There are a lot of people who seem intent on sucking the joy out of life. Too much free time I suppose. Have a great day.

You humorous man. " sucking the joy out life"-)) They get self fulfilled that way. Wringing of the hands, helps no one. I don't get it. I do know the joy from volunteering of time and donations. Never negate our joy...PR
