Adventist Review RecorSOUTHWESTERN UNION A Tribute to the Parents This was read to the parents by Marnie Jo Matthews of San Antonio, during the con- secration service for nursing students at Southwestern Adventist College January 26. Her classmate, Holly Lane of Gentry, Arkansas, wrote it.) It doesn't seem so long ago I was small and dependent, looking to you to fill my needs. You did. As I grew, I needed independence. I tried my wings and came falling to the ground. You picked me up and encouraged me to try again. I did. Then came the time for me, with fear in my heart, And you, with tears in your eyes, To take on new responsibilities. We did. Still to come are sad times and discouragement. But from you I have learned of such things as faith and courage, And I will succeed because of what You did.
