Mom saw a commercial on TV

Mom saw a commercial on TV

That promised to erase those lines

That were showing up on Mom's face

(But we thought she looked just fine.)

Then she found a creme at the store

That promised to erase ten years

By just applying it each day

Beginning right below her ears.

Her friend brought a free sample of oils

So promising that Mom got 'em

That promised to renew her complexion

Making it as soft as a baby's bottom.

The list went on and on that way

With products to make my Mom

Look younger and younger

Every single day.

To Mom they all sounded promising

And each impressed her uniquely

But Mom ordered every single one

And has disappeared completely!

When people make you cry

When people make you cry, forgive them
For they are the losers in the end
They have missed a chance to encourage
A truly wonderful friend.
When family makes you cry
It is really sad to say
There's nothing you can do
If they are prone to be that way!
Just love them anyway
And make it a point to be
Always the first with love
At any opportunity!
And even if it seems to be
A losing battle to you now
You will be the winner in the end
Some day, somewhere ...somehow!
Never rush to be the one
Who has the cutting remark
But rather be the one to rush ahead
To help heal a hurting heart!
