Tomorrow is Too Late
I thank God every time I remember you.
—Phillipians 1:3
I wasn't there that morning when my father
passed away - Didn't get to tell him all the
thingsIhadtosay..ljust wishedi could have
toldhim in the living years.
—Mike & the Mechanics
Why is it so hard for us to express
our true feelings to the people we love
the most? Have you ever experienced
the sudden, unexpected death of a loved
one? So many or us "don't know what
we've got until if s gone..."
»Stop! as you slam the door to leave
And go to the streets to roam
Someday tragedy may strike
And tear apart you home
»Think! as you lie in bed at night
After a bitter spat with Mom
Tragedy hits all of us
Spiritually Speaking
»For although par
ents' love endures
They cannot live
forever
Someday God will
take them
And your life will
sefem to sever
»And on that day you'll cry so hard
And the tears will be so real
Cause all that's left is memories
And all the pain you feel
»You'll stare at the
»You can't come home for
And explodes just like a bomb
»Pause! as you turn to give your Dad
A cold and icy stare
Someday you will want to come home
But home will not be there When you really need it
"Abortion" Continued from page one
Nicole McSwain feels that and fear teen-age pregnancy
e pale white faces
Of this woman and this man
Who loved you as no others do
And as no others can
»Mom won't be there in winter
To make sure you wear your coat
And she won't be there to give you
medicine
When you catch a sore throat
»Dad won't be waiting up for you
At curfew -to see you need it
Or there to slip you a couple of bucks

Shayna Siekkienen Christmas
Cause no one will be there
And when you have a prob
lem
There's no Mom and Dad to
care
»When your birthday comes around
There's a present that you'll miss
You'll long for a hug from Daddy
And Mother's loving kiss
»As you recall the memories
And the good times there have been
A lot of warmth will leave your life
And loneliness creeps in
»You'Il tell how wonderful they were
And all the fun you had
But there are two people you never told
That's right - your Mom and Dad
»Don't write it on their tombstones
Or wait for a twist of fate
Don't wait until tomorrow
Because later is too late!
How often we must lose something
precious to us to realize its value.
Utah's actions are a step in
the right direction. After at
tending the Washington pro
life rally in May of 1990,
McSwain's opinion against
abortion was even more fer
vently enhanced. Montreat,
which held an open chapel
for a Pro-Life Activist speaker
last semester, also has stu
dents with opinions from the
extreme opinions. Jennifer
Beaman suffered through an
abortion with a friend and
can understand the dilemma
can hold. "I disagree and feel
that abortion is solely the
woman's choice and has noth
ing to do with the govern
ment," she says.
