Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. --- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807-82 "A Psalm of Life" (1839)
Dear Ancestor:  Your tombstone stands among the rest;  Neglected and alone  The name and date are chiseled out  On polished, marbled stone.  It reaches out to all who care  It is too late to mourn.  You did not know that I exist  You died and I was born.  Yet each of us are cells of you  In flesh, in blood, in bone.  Our blood contracts and beats a pulse  Entirely not our own.  Dear Ancestor, the place you filled  So many years ago  Spreads out among the ones you left  Who would have loved you so.  I wonder if you lived and loved,  I wonder if you knew  That someday I would find this spot,  And come to visit you.   - anon
"I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God." --- Abraham Lincoln
"The work can wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you do the work." --- Patricia Clafford
