MARBLE MONUMENTS 156 15 APRIL 1976
Wrote Benjamin Franklin...
"Write injuries in the dust,
benefits in marble."
To the dust we bequeth...
Every slight received
Every act that sowed ill feelings
Every thought that dragged us down
To marble we shall inscribe...
Every warm hug from our family
Every encouraging word from our friends
Every act of kindness received
Every blessing from God on high
Blow away old dust
As quickly as you can
Let our monuments of marble
Continue to shine
