Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be

Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hand
Who saith, “A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!”

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

We should just be thankful for being together.

Marcie: Don’t feel bad, Chuck. Peppermint Patty didn’t mean all those things she said. Actually, she really likes you.
Charlie Brown: I don’t feel bad for myself, I just feel bad because I’ve ruined everyone’s Thanksgiving.

We should just be thankful for being together. I think that’s what they mean by ‘Thanksgiving,’ Charlie Brown.

a large stock of very placid faces

Ford looked stunned.
“Where have you been?” he demanded.

With this the gist and sum of it, What earthly good can come of it?

Woman wants monogamy:
man delights in novelty.
Love is woman’s moon and sun;
man has other forms of fun.
Woman lives but in her lord;
Count to ten and man is bored.
With this the gist and sum of it,
What earthly good can come of it?
