Lesson #1

When I was just a little girl,
My mother taught me much;
How to love, how to care,
How to reach out and touch.

The thing she wanted me to know,
Runs deeply in my soul,
Was that no matter where I was,
Touching others should be my goal.

Touching others in many ways,
By being the one they could trust,
To help them face their troubled times,
And to sacrifice if I must.

Sacrifice my own time, my resources
And my treasures,
By helping others I would find
A much greater kind of pleasure.

Country Love

They strolled down the lane together,
The sky was covered with stars.
They reached the gate in silence
And he lifted, for her, the bars.
She neither smiled nor thanked him,
For she knew not how.
He was a young country lad
And she was a jersey cow.
