From Great Grandpa Snider

Let all your thoughts be happy
as the days go into years
Let all your acts be kind ones
and there will be no cause for tears

Your Daddy

Happy and successful life

Dear Donna Rae,
May you have a happy and successful life.
To thy own self be true,
and these you shall gain

When You are Down

Re-read this when you feel down
All Alone
Or a Frown
You are here
I am here
We all are here
Even if you feel like a nightmare
Everything breaks
Some can not be fixed
You don't have to move on
Just at least hold on
Brush those thoughts away
And lets see a Smile
I love you Ryan
Live on those words awhile
Everybody does.
Even if they don't show it
Cry if you need to cry
Laugh when the time is best
Rest even if you don't need to rest
Everything nice you do for me
Is like paradise for the best
Even in tears or strictness
It still is love
I will sew your heart a million times for you
or sooth your pain
I could go on with this poem
but its getting late
And by the way
I'm on my way
