TO DOROTHY

The spring awakens earth
And life begins anew
In God's Creation.

One season merges with another,
And time seems as nothing.
Where are the yesterdays
That seem too few?

Minutes dissipate into years,
And are lost to us forever.
Time cannot be captured
And held to use at will.

Yes time is lost in yesterdays,
But products of time remain.
Held in our hearts as memories to keep
Nothing can steal

Memories of loved ones who care
And touch our lives with love,
Memories of gentle kindness
Freely given with nothing asked in return.

We love you for what you are
And how you've touched our lives,
And wish you well this natal day.
Happy birthday - and God bless.

Virgil, Geri and Trina

I wouldn't dare sent this to anyone but you. I know you won't laugh but will know we just want you to know we love you and appreciate you for the kind, giving and loyal loved one you are.
