I’LL STILL BE LOVING YOU

When your hair has turned to winter
and your teeth are in a plate,
when your getter up and go
has gone to stop and wait—
I’ll still be loving you.

When your attributes have shifted
beyond the bounds of grace,
I’ll count your many blessings,
not the wrinkles in your face—
I’ll still be loving you.

When the crackle in your voice
matches that within your knee
and the times are getting frequent
that you don’t remember me—
I’ll still be loving you.

Growing old is not a sin,
it’s something we all do.
I hope you’ll always understand—I’ll still be loving you.

We are working on some revisions to our mission statement.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to overcome generational poverty for families and communities by providing educational opportunities, assistance, and support to children who have traditionally left the education system as early as age ten to go to work to help support their families. Our long-term commitment to breaking the cycle of poverty builds stronger communities by creating successful entrepreneurs where they live.

An Update on the Bentsen's Mission:
Twenty students are currently enrolled in San Jose Vocational Technical High School. One hundred twenty students have graduated with academic and vocational skills. Three are currently attending university. Thirteen have graduated from university as advanced accountants, LVNs, RNs, and teachers. One is a Doctor of Anesthesiology.
These students need your help. Please donate. "Even the most humble gift, if given in love, will be acceptable in His eyes."
Thank You and Blessings!
