At the End of the Day

AT THE END OF THE DAY

When the shadows Fall, and there’s no one to depend on, you can depend on me.

When you’re home all alone and all your friends are gone, at the end of the day, and nothing’s going your way – you can always call on me.

When you climb the stairs and turn the key and if no one is there, and you need someone to care, you can depend on me.

At the end of the day and nothing’s going your way – you can always call on me.

I’m just a friend, that’s all I’ve ever been, you can always call on me;

At the end of the day, all I can say – is thank you for being – my friend.

It Only Takes a Minute

IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE

I’m reaching out to all “the Young folks of today,” gather around and listen to what I have to say.
It only takes a minute for you to go astray. It only takes a minute, and you may not be here today.
Sometimes you may not realize, but it only takes “ONE” mistake to take you away. So, listen to what I have to say.
Educate yourself in a godly way, with the knowledge that no one can take away.
Wisdom has a way of telling you when to back up, and when to embrace.
It only takes a minute, so listen to what I have to say – It only takes a minute, for you to go astray.

Threads of History Community Arts Project

The Historical Society of Frankford (HSF) is pleased to host Mural Arts Philadelphia and the Tacony
LAB Community Art Center Northeast 250: Threads of History community arts project on Tuesday,
March 31 at 6:00 PM at the Society’s library/museum at 1507 Orthodox St, Philadelphia.

This project, part of the City’s US Semiquincentennial celebrations, will shine spotlights at several
venues on the history of Northeast Philadelphia and the many small organizations that keep that
history alive. Using the US flag as the organizing principle and creative inspiration, hands-on
artmaking activities at each event will engage communities with the idea of individual expression in
flags. Participants will have an opportunity to create an artwork to keep.

The Frankford event will also feature an exhibit of artifacts and documents from the HSF collection
related to Betsy Ross, the woman often portrayed as the creator of the flag, and her relatives in
Northeast Philly who preserved and promoted her life story, as well as a short presentation.

This event is free and open to the public. Off street parking will be available across Orthodox Street
at the Frankford Friends School. Light refreshments will be available.

About the Historical Society of Frankford:
Founded in 1905, the Historical Society of Frankford preserves and interprets the history of

Spring is Singing

Spring is singing

Crescent Moon shining in the sky, winter saying it’s last goodbyes.
Shadows dancing on Frozen ponds, spring is singing I’m coming home.
Rain starts falling from the sky, winter is saying its last goodbyes.
Spring is singing I’m coming home. Flowers are pushing from beneath the snow.
Spring is still singing, I’m coming home. Rain is falling from up above to wash away the fallen snow.
But yet, spring is still singing I’m coming home. Look for me it won’t be long – spring is singing, I’m coming home, look for me it won’t be long.
