A wise person listens well,
dots their I’s crosses their T’s when they spell.
A hundred apologies will not erase a bad word
or deed said or done against any race.

We can’t take back the throw once we hurl the
rock.
Every special occasion must be planned with
love, memories are forever.

A family that joins hands in prayer, forms a chain
of lasting love and care.
We can not repeat time, once gone, we’ve crossed
the line.
Never having to say you’re sorry is a beautiful
ending of every great story.
