So many marriages now end in divorce
Innocent children are hurting of course
Gone are the happier days in their life
Now their parents aren’t husband and wife
One weekend a month the kids spend with their dad
Fighting between their parents often makes them so sad
There are now more couples who do not get wed
Happy to live together, so they stay single instead
Entering into cohabitation nowadays is widespread
Times are changing; commitment is a thing of the past
I see many love affairs; sadly I know they will not last
Many rush into relationships, why do they take it so fast
Easy to walk away when the rush of love has passed
‘Sanctity of marriage’, its meaning has been trashed
Sign of the times contest

K-eep at a distance,
Y-ou must be on guard;
L-et your life go on,
E-arnestly move forward.
L-et your mind keep at a distance,
A-s you maintain a reserved attitude;
C-hoose to think quietly alone,
U-ntil things change for the good.
E-arly January twenty-second,
S-tay aloof from the bad chance;
T-imes these days are perilous,
A-im to keep at a distance.

A nytime you need a smile or an encouraging word he is there for you.
N ew faces he sees everyday and never turns not even one away.
T imes are tough for him as well as us, and not many give him the credit he
deserves.
H e spends his day in the kitchen preparing meals for the hungry, and cleaning
the dishes so he can do it all again.
O ften he is too tired to feed himself, but he still manages to keep three
wonderful meals on the table to make sure we aren't hungry.
N oone sees all that he does for everyone, and it's all without complaint. All
people see is that there is food for them to eat. Some are rude, crude, mean, and
hateful, but their belly still gets full.
Y ou are one in a million, and I for one am very thankful to have met you.
Thank you for everything Anthony!
