Hi All,
Their is a graveyard nearby and a really old head stone reads the following brilliant inscription except the second line is unclear due to age
It reads:
Let No Man Say He Can Repent Too Soon

-------------------------------------

Maybe its lost for ever but Could you have a go and fill in the second line.I have no poetry in me but what a really great message to leave,
Yours Staff

This is found in a book of quotes entitled THE SALT-CELLARS published by Charles Spurgeon:

"Let no man think he can repent too soon
I found it midnight, ere I thought it noon."

Hi Chrissiiss,
Thats fantastic'I have tried to figure it out and I thought the last word might be ending in noon but it sounded silly so I said maybe not.Really appreciate your knowledgeable reply
What a message that lives on after that person was gone
