CHRISTMAS TEARS It's time for a Christmas holiday with celebrations, laughter, and cheers. It's a time to fill our hearts with joy, but there are always Christmas tears. We all have loved ones who have passed; we think of them every night and day. It seems they're thought of more at Christmas; when we celebrate Jesus Christ's birthday. We feel jubilation for Christ's coming, but feel sorrow for our loved ones who died. We know they are sharing our sorrow every time that they see us cry. Christmas brings back many memories of the way our lives used to be. Their deaths always leave an emptiness when we think of those we will no longer see. So this Christmas when memories of your missed loved ones enter your hearts and minds, let your sad tears become happy tears and let us all rejoice at this Christmas time. Ed Folino 2013

“Something To Ponder” Each and every moment of the day That you exist upon this earth Is another twenty four hours From the very first day of your birth And the clock never seems to stop Yes like the energizer it just keeps on going And so now you must sit down and think Is it the right and correct boat you are rowing? And if it is not then I say Turn your oars in at the very first station Yes just trade them both in for new one's And get on with your new destination For time does not wait for no one For it keeps going without exception And so my good friends I do say: "Do Not Pause On That New Direction" Billie Nardozzi (412) 921-3694 ((( All Calls Are Welcomed ))) Oh!!!!!!...........and "Happy New Year"

“A Dog Named Butcher” Butcher was a dog Who had grown very old And he was forgotten and abandoned And left out in the cold But he was oh so loving As a dog could be But still no pity Was taken on he And so the harsh winter months Took a toll on him And he grew weary and frail And under-nourished and slim Until one day Someone unknown Took him off the street And took him to their home And gave him a bath And some dog tags to match And stated that he Was "the perfect catch" Because believe it or not A robber had intruded And that old dog bit him Where most men are rooted Billie Nardozzi (412) 921-3694 ((( All Calls Are Welcomed )))
