Quotes from Richard L. Ratliff

At the morning's PowerPoint It's full of unique bullet points

As the sun sinksIt casts that silver bridgeAcross the lake

God is my supermanI tug on his cape:

Life is the night skyAll the dots of stars are happiness

She is a smile in the dark

Always enjoyed a smile with dimplesBut time adds wrinkles to the smile

Seems hats have been on topOf all the stages comings and goingsHelping us remember heroes and idols

I'm the cover of a book, Whose pages are still being written

Time is passing : not leaden steppingBut sprinting on winged feet, Quick silver slipping by.

Save your golden days as time goes byBefore golden years expire

We are philosophers of our timeFloating in the moon's evening glow

May your union be filled with loveAnnealed by passion Built on a strong foundation And tempered by time

I guess she was a life line Sewing our family fabric togetherFrom me to dad to herGave me a sense of continuity Especially when my daughter was bornAs she was slipping away

Life doesn't revolve around youIt revolves around those you love

I've sent you roses many times. I've held your hand in mine

But you are still you I'm still meAnd we are still we

Your kiss swallows meAnd engulfs my very soul

You read my words and instantly we are both connected

I tend the flowers of my mindWatering our memories as they bloom

I'd keep your beauty timeless. like a flower pressed in a book, yesI wouldn't let it fade Folded in the chapters of my mind

You have been the pillowI lay my weary soul upon

Fathers and daughters have a special bond. She is always daddy's little girl.

Thankful another tomorrow greetsAs I drink from cup of time And prepare to lock the door behind meand leave it to others

When you build a house You nail down memories Paint and stain the fabric of time
