__________________________________________ THERE are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content; There are souls like stars, that dwell apart, In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze the paths Where highways never ran- But let me live by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by- The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat Nor hurl the cynic's ban- Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road By the side of the highway of life, The men who press with the ardor of hope, The men who are faint with the strife, But I turn not away from their smiles and tears, Both parts of an infinite plan- Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead, And mountains of wearisome height; That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away to the night. And still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice And weep with the strangers that moan, Nor live in my house by the side of the road Like a man who dwells alone. Let me live in my house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by- They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong, Wise, foolish - so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the cynic's ban? Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Sam Walter Foss _________________________________________
Psalm 84:5 "Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage"..... and this is our journey together.......
We had our annual Easter trip to Kathy's to meet the family. It was great. There was golfing and shopping and eating going on all the time. We made our trip to the Boardwalk for Thrasher fries and Fischer's popcorn. It was cold as usual. We also hit The Country House and the Zoo, two of Salisbury's hot spots. Garrett, a man of many talents, is shown here with his excellent golf swing. The boys got some golf lessons from Pappy John and had a lot of fun. Our food challenge for this family gathering was deserts adn despite some awesome competition, Summer won with a Mexcian Fried Ice Cream. There were some questions raised about making her brother's favorite when Hunter was a judge.
