Bringing YOU Up-To-Date

So what’s it like to move in June ?
     is it fun, but necessary to do 
Well, looking back a few months now . . . 
     I wouldn’t recommend it to you.

First, there’s downsizing,  oh my,
     Who would have predicted this for me !
Who knew all our stuff would be so much !
     Try to box it up in three days and see !  

Well, then came those nice firemen movers,
     and off we went fifty-two miles away.
So nice to see the cute townhouse rental,
     We live in this small place today. 

Take a new look at the stuff over here,
      Some we may never really use,
Sell, donate, give to our kids and friends,
     Now the challenge is ours to choose.

So, our advice to you, our friends ?
     Don’t wait till your husband is eighty nine;
Think ahead, plan accordingly,
     Take time for fun, this suggestion is mine. 

Of course, we have much to be thankful for . . . 
     every day we talk to God in prayer;
and we pray for family, friends, and neighbors,
     not neglecting those politicians we share.

All day long I will proclaim Your saving power,
for I am overwhelmed by how much You have done for me.”
