POEM "LIVING VALUES" - BY RAYMOND A. FERNANDO
PEACE which makes the world a safe and happy place
PEACE that unites people of any race
RESPECT that shows consideration for ane another
RESPECT in which we put into practice the saying,
"He ain't heavy, he's my brother".
LOVE in which it is better to give than to receive
LOVE valued as sacred and to our spouses, we should not deceive
LOVE in which a couple bonded in marriage
Must go togeter like a horse and a carriage.
TOLERANCE which finds us accepting failure
TOLERANCE which allows us to venture into the unknown without fear
TOLERANCE for each others religion, race, language or culture.

POEM "VALUES GONE"
Where have all our values gone...
it appears like just a game
there seems to be no right or wrong
only few care that Jesus came.
Where have all our values gone...
Concern is in life's pleasure
Free lifestyle and desire to belong,
In Heaven should be our treasure.
Where have all our values gone...
For sin there is no shame
Wealth is attained in words of song,
Excuses used are very lame.
Where have all our values gone...
The Bible is seldom read
Some won't sing a Christmas song,
Jesus is alive, He is not dead!
Where have all our values gone...
The way of Jesus must be told
By words,deeds or action shown
So all can walk the streets of gold.
