Through a life there will be many

pleasant places and happy memories.

There will also be moments of sorrow,

moments of loss and moments of understanding.

Life is a journey from a beginning to an end.

Every journey has days of rain or sunshine.

On our journey there will be good and bad.

There will be sadness and joy, love and despair

moments of fear and wonder!

How we live through our lives is what matters.

How we treat our fellow humans is the test,

not how far up the mountain we manage to climb.

Stretch out your hand to steady a fellow climber.

Love your brother, always!
