Life's
Great
Test
by
Sandy
Oidtman
Her
heart
has
suffered
a
final
blow,
She
had
to
let
her
lover
go;
He
was
her
husband
of
fifteen
years,
He
made
her
laugh
and
dried
her
tears.
Two
children
they
gave
to
each
other,
One
was
Becky;
Josh
was
the
other;
He
showed
her
joy
in
a
simple
life,
And
made
her
happy
to
be
his
wife.
He
loved
to
hunt
and
loved
to
fish,
Having
a
good
meal
his
greatest
wish:
He
lived
for
his
children
day
and
night,
He
wanted
so
much
to
raise
them
right.
He
had
a
hard
life
but
fought
to
the
last,
But,
now
at
least,
his
pain
has
passed;
She
can
now
put
him
to
rest,
He
has
passed
life's
great
test.
My
Big
Brother
by
Debbie
Dickey
It’s
been
thirteen
years
Since
the
day
you
said
“I
do”;
You
became
my
special
friend,
And
my
big
brother,
too.
You’ve
dried
my
tears
When
the
going
got
rough;
You
showed
me
how
To
hold
my
head
up
and
be
tough.
You’ve
been
my
protector,
My
friend
and
my
brother;
A
special
heart
like
yours,
I
could
find
in
no
other.
It
is
hard
to
put
into
words,
How
I
feel
inside;
When
I
watch
you
with
your
family,
I
am
filled
with
pride.
You’ve
never
asked
for
help,
You
always
did
it
on
your
own;
Proud,
loving
children
is
What
you
have
sown.
You’re
always
willing
to
help
Any
soul
in
need;
Great
rewards
for
you
Is
what
God
has
planned,
indeed.
I
want
you
to
know
When
you
look
up
at
the
sky;
You
have
a
little
sister
That
looks
at
you
with
love
in
her
eyes.
