“Two Sisters, Two Phones” by Cindy Sampson
Two sisters, two phones, Set out on a mission on their own. They attempted the task Of printing a boarding pass. They used a pin, logging in. Upon the screen the pass did appear, Indicating that victory may be near. But, all was not keen, The screen was mean. It wasn’t printing despite the hinting. Refusing defeat, declaring that this Obstacle they would beat, The sisters kept clicking & snapping, Till a technological sound signaled A Happening. Eventually, each sister was a happy lass, Together, they printed a boarding pass.

“Truly Blessed”
This past year has seemed like such a mess, We look back at the trials, and know we're truly blessed. We've got our health, love of family and own our home. Wonderful friends throughout the years we have known. What's truly amazing, to single out, Is God's love In Christ, scripture talks about. Of God's blessings, let us think and discuss, A heart that is thankful, is God's will for us.* *1 Thess. 5:16-18 (Rejoice, give thanks, pray)
“Time with Friends”
A time spent with friends Is always sweet. No matter how long the time may be. Whether joining each other in a time of fun, Or helping with a job that needs to be done. It's quality time spent, that matters you see, even just sitting around shooting the breeze. Friends needn't put on airs, 'Cause We know each other's flaws. Just the passing time that we've been given, Until we depart and meet again in Heaven.

We are forever . . . A world changed A country changed A city changed A community changed A family changed A life changed. Forever we are.

We are a world changed From the outside in Never to be the same again We are a changed world From the inside out Never to pass this way again.
