There's Nothing Worth Losing

                                                  There's a road I call remembrance
                                                  I travel down each day
                                                  my yearning heart overflows
                                                  with memories of yesterday

                                                  Many years I have lived
                                                  many things I have seen
                                                  the future rushes towards me
                                                  on the past I still lean

                                                  Perhaps I shall find it
                                                  lying in the distant blue
                                                  some thing that I have missed
                                                  it's never far from view

                                                  I might hear it in the wind
                                                  the direction from which it came
                                                  or through the falling snow
                                                  it whispers softly my name

                                                  I can see it in my mind
                                                  the picture is so clear
                                                  fresh and new in  the fields of time
                                                  waiting for many a year

                                                  There's nothing ever worth losing
                                                  everything has its own place
                                                  having served its purpose well
                                                  with pride, dignity and grace

                                                  Time can't destroy the beauty
                                                  for as long as memory lives
                                                  years can't erase the pleasure
                                                  to a grateful heart it gives

                                                 I'll leave it all behind me
                                                 old yet fresh as the dawn
                                                 cheerful and warm for many a soul
                                                 long after I'm gone

   Just want to give you all an update on the accident that happened the 3rd of Aug..Those men are hanging in there..The families of the decesed are really having a rough time, to be expected.. It was a life changing event for many souls.. My brother is not talking now, just walking around like a zombie.. He and the other three are to meet with counselors tomorrow (and we are so glad). The D.O.T. has to do their thing also.. They have already sent a Reconstructive Team from Raleigh.. The usual prodigal.. They were in the right on their behalf.. One of the guys will be laid to rest Tuesday and I haven't heard about the other yet.. My brother was asked to be a Casketberer for one but he had to turn it down.. That's hurting him too, having to turn the family down..Thank you all for your Prayers, they are much appreciated.. God is the only one to help them get through this.. They'll never forget but maybe time will heal.. God Bless..Susie
