Lifes Total
When life is over and my time has come, I hope I can look back and say well don. I gave my life to my husband, home and family. That should count for something dont you agree

Yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday, it is gone, and only a moment ago I was young, full of life with dreams to fulfill. Time the thief never standing still, leaving me with time etched upon my face. If only the many footsteps I could retrace with brush in hand a picture I would paint or perhaps a dance or a song I would sing. Oh, yes, that long ago romance rekindled would be just the thing. But alas, yesterday, yesterday, it is gone and only a moment ago I was young.
