The Great Sayings by the Famous and not so Famous.

I am inspiered much by Marilyn Monroe's qoute as
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

"O" means only that she's growing old,

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

joys found welcome in it, and hospitable
accommodation.
