Two Dates

We’re born on one date. Then we leave on another.

Value the life in between.

Take care of your kids and honor your mother.

 

Father caused our birth.

We’re fortunate if he was a real man.

Appreciate your loved ones while they’re here.

So many today have regrets.

 

Jesus said store up treasures in heaven.

Those treasures are all that really matters

when it’s all said and done.

What kind of name are we making with God?

 

Do we reach out to help others?

Is life supposed to revolve around us?

Do we use our influence unselfishly?

Is God amongst who we really trust?

 

I am not my brother’s keeper.

Kids are the ones who need to be kept.

However, I do have his back.

I will be on hand to help him get on his feet.

 

Do we try to make a difference?

Somebody has to step up and take the lead.

Everybody can’t be a follower.

Why not you? The ability is there.

 

It’s not our fault that we are breathing.

It is our responsibility, though,

to make the most out of it.

Live every day in a wise manner

One day you’ll look back

and wonder: “Where did the time go?”

 

Listen to older people and learn.

They’ll tell you much more

than what I’m telling you here.

Your kids will be grown before you know it.

Count each day wisely

and appreciate family,

because they are both why you are here

and why your legacy

will continue to go on.
