' An Everlasting Anchorage '...

At the end only two things really matter to a man,, regardless of who he is;, and they are the affection and understanding of his family.. Anything and everything else he creates are insubstantial;, they are ships given over to the mercy of the winds and tides of prejudice.. but the family is an everlasting anchorage,, a quiet harbor, where a man's ships can be left, to swing to the moorings of pride and loyalty. ....................
