Milton Dale Whipple

Life's Circle This circle that we travel We call it life on earth Miracles we encounter First one we call birth Dependent upon mothers To sustain our every need Like a farmer with his garden We're nurtured as a seed We glean from those that teach us The good and sometimes bad We learn to know the difference For the bad times make us sad We strive for strength and wisdom But struggle we sometimes must And as we make new friendships We acquire a bonding trust Evil lurks about us To unknowingly lead us astray Remember your youthful teachings Let the spirit guide your way With age comes a quiet peace If you've lived the way you should You've touched the hearts of others In only a way, you could Life's journey now ending A final miracle you will see Though gone, you're not forgotten Your memory will always be Dale Whipple 11/29/1999 Milton Dale Whipple, 66, of Mesa, Arizona passed away on Sunday, January 3, 2016.
