                    NEVER ENOUGH
The story is told of two old friends who bumped into one another on the street one day. One of them looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, "What has the world done to you, my old friend?"
The sad fellow said, "Let me tell you. Three weeks ago, an uncle died

                    I know what the tears in heaven will be
when a mom looks for children and there’s one she can’t see
after searching each mansion and her child she can’t find to know that one’s missing and lost for all time
there will be such great heartache like none ever known
to look at the circle and find one

The story is told of a man who rushed into a suburban railroad station one morning and, almost breathlessly, asked the ticket agent: "When does the 8:01 train leave?"
"At 8:01," was the answer.
"Well," the man replied, "my watch says it's 7:59, the town clock says it's 7:57,
