Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. People grow old only by deserting their ideals and outgrowing the consciousness of youth. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul...You are as old as your doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to keep your faith young. Keep your self- confidence young. Keep your hope young....Luella F. Phelan.

Dad’s Day
By Del "Abe" Jones
Those who have their Dads with them
At least, somewhere on this Earth
Are the lucky ones who know them
The Men who caused their Birth.
There are so many millions
Of orphans everywhere
Who have neither, Mom or Dad
Or anyone else to care.
So many in this world today
Don’t even know Dad’s name
And many more through the years
Lost them in War’s deadly game.
Some relations are difficult
And there may be harsh words, spoken
But, even when we are estranged
The bloodlines can’t be broken.
So, on this Day to Honor them
You must tell them, if you can
"I love you Dad, and I’m glad
You’re part of my life’s plan."
When you pass up, that moment
To tell Him how you feel
You’ll find there’s no more chances
That your life’s time, will steal.

Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on valentines and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and now, real and true, the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of our favorite memories and the foundation of our fondest dreams. Love is a promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all -- one known only by those who love....Unknown.
Within our hearts, each of us has dreams, like seeds waiting to sprout and grow into beautiful flowers. We are anxious for all these dreams to come about; we long for something we can't have at this moment. In order to nurture your soul, you need to realize this and accept the fact that all things come in time. You must learn to be patient and yet to persist....John Gray.
