Favorite Quote:
God, grant me the serenity<br /> To accept the things I cannot change;<br /> Courage to change the things I can;<br /> And wisdom to know the difference.


God, part the clouds
I am not asking for a view of Heaven
Just one last glimpse of my father
God, please part the clouds
I would like to wave to my father
I have not seen him in ten years
God, please part the clouds
I would like to wish my father a happy birthday
My father would be sixty today
If you had not taken him away
