It's A Long Way To Happiness

Some things in life are well worth waiting for, as my husband soon found out. For years we talked about him owning a brand new Harley, when, no not in his dreams, when he retired, well that day has arrived, today for him. He has worked all his life for his dream to be fulfilled and he is a very happy and deserving man. I pray that he will get years of enjoyment out of it.


It's A Long Way To Happiness

You've waited for so many years,
For this special day to come,
You've worked so hard my darling,
To have this bike for fun.
Twenty-eight years, so long to wait.

As you took care of kids and a wife,
Never complaining of your duties,
Making sure we had a good life.
It's a long way to happiness,
A lifetime, for your dream to come true ,
No one is wishing more happiness,
Then what I am wishing for you.
No more dreams for your future,
They've all been fulfilled today,
As you signed your name on the papers,
Now you've got that toy for play.
Your Harley sits in the garage,
You'll polish it after each run,
I hope you have all happy memories,
As you ride free out in the sun.

Sis,as our beautiful mother always said to us, all things come to those who wait. Fred has provided for his family all these years and deserves all the good fortune that is bestowed upon him. Safe driving for many days to come. Love & hugs

I congratulate Fred on the realization of his dream machine and look forward to seeing it when you swing down to Nova Scotia on it this summer. To those who love bikes the Harley is motercycling incorporated and yes he will tresure this I am sure almost as much as he treasures his darling wife. You are also to be saluted for supporting him and his dream. Good luck and kewl running.

Little River by Dadfire

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
