Let Us Not Forget

                                                   Let us not forget the ancient wisdom

                                                   With which our ancestors walked their days

                                                   Let us carry on with great determination

                                                   With a grateful heart, to God we give the praise

                                                   Let us not forget the mountains they climbed

                                                   In the darkest valleys where they found light

                                                   Footprints are abundant down every path

                                                   All of their yesterdays can be found in plain sight

                                                   Let us not forget the sound of their voice

                                                   In the distance they are still calling us home

                                                   The place where many a prayer was heard

                                                   Shaping our tomorrows until we were grown

                                                   Let us not forget the love that was given

                                                   All under the same roof, each night at bed

                                                   The teachings of God's word, the Bible

                                                   Food for our body and soul, we were always fed

                                                   Let us not forget the many sacrifices made

                                                   Working from sun up until sun down

                                                   The love of family, there's no boundaries

                                                   How proud we must be of them, so profound

                                                   Let us not forget the place from which we came

                                                   May our hearts stay humble and proud

                                                   And listen to the wisdom of all the ages

                                                   Can you hear, the echoes are calling so loud

I hope all of my Blogging friends have had a nice 4th. As for me it was just another day this year. I'm still ailing  and hopefully they're getting closer to finding the root of the problem. Strangest thing I've ever went through and that's sayin alot. But, there's people in far worse shapes and I remind myself everyday. Still praying for ya'll and will get around to visit soon I hope. Blessings, Susie
