And then there's Samuel

Once upon a time
there was a wise biker
named Samuel
he wrote the following....

FAMILY!!

We are merely guests aboard this train called life.
And,
since we didn't purchase the tickets,
we have no knowledge or fore warning
of just when our station will appear
and our ride will end.

All we can do is enjoy the ride,
and if there are bumps along the way,
just hope that the shock absorbers work.
And if they don't,
try to land on your feet,
for it helps smooth out the rough spots on this road called life.

No matter how rough today might have been,
go to bed each night knowing that you gave it your best,
and tomorrow is a new beginning,
with a complete new set of rules and rewards.

And,
if you live each and every day
the very best way that you know how,
if,
in all your endeavors,
you gave all there was to give,
in every way that you knew how,
then no man,
nor any God can dare pass judgement upon you,
nor condemn you if it wasn't enough.

For by doing your very best,
you,
my friend,
will have paid your dues in full.

Samuel passed away recently after a lengthy battle with cancer
but he will forever be remembered
for his wit
his humor
and his grace under pressure
