The Lady On The Bench

By karen C. Max

She was kind and friendly With her service dog at her side Honest and straightforward And without false sense of pride

She reached out to others, And was generous and kind, A nicer person, You couldn’t find.

Once at a meeting, She continued to shout, Was told to leave, And escorted her out!

She talked a lot To compensate And lost control In a twist of fate.

After that she paced herself And kept her distance, And took the path Of least resistance!

GOD WILL BRING US THROUGH VICTORIOUSLY!

By alanda I. wasserMan edwards

God our Banner the Lord our Strength He will Bring Us Through!!!

Like a tree planted by the rivers of water Be our strength and banner Lord In time of trials and tribulations Be our banner and stay

Be near to us be our guide For you are peace hope and love

You are the constant secure path way

Your give stability and strength And help all to stand strong And tall like trees planted By rivers never stream of Still water we can be solid As a rock through you

As you bring us through times You bring us through victoriously Yes you bring us through As we depend victoriously Depend upon you!!!

JULY 4TH

By ed MIller

Here I sit at a Flag flying T.V.

Thinking of the flags As a troop, I have flown.

Apart from the medals Awarded for myself And my buddies

Like Arthur Salsburger

The flag that was Mets Awarded will be treasured By many generations with Love and gratitude.

The Rochdale Village Board of Directors hosted their annual Independence Day celebration for 2023 out on the grass on July 4, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Cooperators came out, some decked out in red, white, and blue, setting up on the lawns and ready to enjoy the day.

While there was some periodic rain, that didn’t stop everyone from having fun and celebrating with each other. Cooperators enjoyed dancing, face painting, and the game truck was available for kids to play games. An amazing day was had in Rochdale.
