Sedalia Dave Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 This came up in my FB memories. When UB shared this with the rest of us a year ago it struck a cord with me as the timing was spot on. Hope A few yesterdays back things weren’t so good In fact they were dark as a charred hunk of wood But I did what I did and I did what I could And today everything seems alright. I could whine about water gone over the dam Complain about how cold and lonely I am Or scoop some stream water and taste just a dram And tell myself things are alright Now tomorrow’s tomorrow and sometimes they say You should plan for the worst of the dark rainy day But to me it seems like it’s a long way away And right now everything’s just alright Looking up at the sky there’s a big patch of blue And there past the peaks there an eagle just flew There’s a few things I know now that I never knew And I guess things are going alright When you get through a rough spot that sure wasn’t fun And you find yourself sitting there warm in the sun Just be glad that it looks like you finally won And be glad that you’re feeling alright Don’t worry bout what was or what things might be Don’t fret over “what ifs”, just listen to me You’re breathing, you’re thinking, and thank God you’re still free And for right now, everything is alright R. De Groff Thank you for this Bob. SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Family, Sailng, iceboating, shooting, rugby, horse packing, hunting, flying, scuba diving, investment banking, electric railroad motorman, isshinryu karate, judo, Marine Corps, jumping, SeaScout and dirt Scout leader, dutch oven contestant and more have made my life full and exciting well beyond anything I could ever have expected as a boy. The memories are so incredible that my only regrets are having possibly not done more. Now it's time to coach kids and do as much shooting and other old fart stuff as my body will allow. What an incredible life and such wonderful memories!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Thanks Pards. I get blue and tear up a bit at the oddest times: I still wear the wedding ring she slipped on my finger over 54 years ago. I'll come across something that reminds me of her and it hurts. I miss my girl. This was her on her 50th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Still talk to my wife of 51 years (it would have been 57 next May if she had lived) every day, still wear my ring, and still miss her terribly. She turned 75 last September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
