I went to my great-uncles funeral the other weekend and in the little I don't want to call it a program but I dont know what else to call it was this poem that I really liked:

~ God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain. But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, Light for the way, Grace for the trials, Help from above, Unfailing sympathy, Undying love....~

Ben sent me an email with this in it. I really like it. Thanks Ben.

~To the world, you may just be somebody. But to somebody, you just may be the world.~

~There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those who can count, and those who can't.~

~"I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. But I think there's one other thing that separates us from animals. We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners."

~Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant? I'm halfway through my fishburger and I realize, Oh my God....I could be eating a slow learner."

~How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter? -- Woody Allen

~If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. -Anonymous

Simplicity

How happy is the little stone

That rambles in the road alone,

And doesn't care about careers,

And exigencies never fears;

Whose coat of elemental brown

A passing universe put on;

And independent as the sun,

Associates or glows alone,

Fulfilling absolute decree

In casual simplicity.

-Emily Dickinson

A black man talks to a whiteman:

When I was born I was black,

When I grew up I was black,

When I'm sick I'm black,

When I go in the sun I'm black,

When I'm cold I'm black,

When I die I'll be black.

But you:

When you're born you're pink,

When you grow up you're white,

When you're sick, you're green,

When you go in the sun you turn red,

When you're cold you turn blue,

and when you die you turn purple.

And you have the nerve to call me colored!!!
