~life~
Remember dearest child we gave you life.
But thats all we can give you.
We can help you grow and mature, but we can
not live your life for you.
We can help ease the bumps and bruises.And
help you over the hard spots.
But we can not eliminate them for you.
Only you hold the key to your destiny
in your hands--not your parents
What you want for yourself is your choice.
And your decisions are not ours.
We can only hope that it is a wise choice.
What happens in life, we can not always control.
But remember dearest child, we gave but
one life.
And that is all we can give you.
What you do with that life is up to you.
-Edgewood senior Thelma Marie Murphy
