"THE EULOGY Of "I CAN'T"

 

 

FRIENDS, WE GATHER HERE TODAY TO HONOR
THE MEMORY OF "I CAN'T.
"WHILE HE WAS WITH US HERE ON EARTH,
 HE TOUCHED, THE LIVES OF EVERYONE,
SOME MORE THAN OTHERS.
HIS NAME UNFORTUNATELY,
HAS BEEN SPOKEN IN EVERY PUBLIC BUILDING,
SCHOOL, CITY HALLS, STATE CAPITOLS,
AND YES, EVEN THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE HAVE PROVIDED 'I CAN'T WITH
A FINAL RESTING PLACE
AND A HEADSTONE THAT  CONTAINED THIS EPITAPH.
HIS IS SURVIVED BY HIS  BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
"I CAN," "I WILL" AND "I'M GOING TO RIGHT."
THEY ARE NOT AS WELL KNOWN
AS THEIR FAMOUS RELATIVE
AND ARE NOT AS WE KNOWN
AS THEIR FAMOUS RELATIVE
 AND ARE CERTAINLY NOT AS
STRONG AND POWERFUL YET.
PERHAPS SOME DAY,
WITH YOUR HELP,
THEY WILL MAKE AN EVEN BIGGER
MARK ON THE WORLD.
MAY "I CAN'T" REST IN PEACE
AND MAY EVERYONE PRESENT
PICK UP THEIR LIVES AND MOVE FORWARD
IN HIS ABSENCE.
AMEN."

 

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT "I CAN'T" IS DEAD.

 

CONVERSATION WITH GOD

 

 

 

I said, "God, I hurt".

 

And God said, "I know".

 

I said, " God I cry a lot".

 

And God said, " That is why I gave you tears".  

 

I Said, "God I am so depressed".

 

And God said, "That is why I gave you sunshine".

 

I said, "God life is so hard".

 

And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones".

 

I said, "God my loved one died".

 

And God said, "so did mine".

 

I said, "God it is such a loss".

 

And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a cross".

 

I said, God your loved one lives".

 

And God said, "So does yours".

 

I said, "God where are they now"?

 

And God said, "Mine is on my right and yours is in the light".

 

I said, "God it hurts".

 

And God said, "I know".

 

 

Good Night, God...

 

 

At the end of the day,
let me not dwell on my failures
or recount my disappointments.
Let my heart not be heavy over the day's frustrations,
the cold voices, and minor vexations.
Remind me that there's so much more to life than worry,
pain and trivial strife.

Let me not be blind to each tiny pleasure.
Remind me that each little blessing is something to treasure.
Let me hear children's laughter, the voice of a dear friend;
and let the warm memories revive me... when a long day ends.
And wrap me tight in your arms, once my worries depart;
never let me forget your love, lest I forget my heart.

 

When faith gets serious,
Joy turns delirious.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
