If you could see the end
Would you continue to pretend
That life's path could bend
To give endless time to spend.

It all ends for everyone

My granddaughter is quite a volunteerer She has tutored kids younger that herself at school; she has made quilts for small children in the women and children’s department of our local mission, and she spent time last summer doing a variety of jobs at a senior citizens center.

Picture in your mind trying to find out who Garrison Keillor is by hearing his radio show, but not his name. It would be difficult. I've also found a movie I watched as a child. I didn't know the name of the movie, it was animated so there were no stars, and it was foreign to boot! But I found it. And after I discovered the name, I found it in a public library, and I was able to enjoy it once again.
