I know not what tomorrow holds
be it happiness or sorrow.
But of one thing I am certain,
I know Who holds tomorrow.

or I'm

too tall

To get

and start

to crawl

My room

inside

my wall.

The Jays are coming! The Jays are coming!
There's no stopping them, baseball's a-humming
Josh, José and Edwin

Yesterday Edwin, you wrote of the hoe

Today we write of the tractor.

Yesterday Edwin, a man faces the ground

Today he reaches for the starts.

Yesterday Edwin, an aching figure stands alone

Today hands reach around the world....

A person needs strong and sturdy feet to walk twenty-five miles.
Walking will all be worth it because my woman waits at the end.
