He wears a crumpled old hat
That has seen its better day
Lines of time are on his face
Hard work has been his way
His pale blue eyes still shine
As he thinks of time long past
Dreaming of his special lady
Love that would forever last
He thinks of his great family
They had two girls and a boy
With a home filled with love
All their days were full of joy
His time here has been happy
God has given him a good life
The strength to raise his family
The love of a very sweet wife
He knows she is up in heaven
Where she looks down every day
Smiling at her beloved husband
Waiting for him to come her way
Our Walk
Deep in my heart is a dream
A feeling that wont go away
It brings a smile to my face
Comfort it gives me every day
My thoughts go back into time
To the walks that we daily took
Along a path shaded by oak trees
Down beside our favorite brook
Hand in hand we walked together
Seeing the happiness in your eyes
Wanting to forever to be near you
All my hopes and dreams realized
Today we will walk that same path
Knowing our life is filled with bliss
A wonderful smile you give to me
As on your lovely lips I place a kiss
Amazing Springtime
There is a beauty in springtime
So amazing for all of us to see
The blossoms on the dogwood
The flight of a single honey bee
Pretty tulips in all their colors
Grass in its own shade of green
Azaleas are so very spectacular
Prettiest colors you ever seen
Two robins are working together
Building their nest up in a tree
They will be raising their family
Working together as it should be
Farmers are plowing their ground
Soon they will be planting the seed
Crops they will raise for our food
Springtime is just what we need
A Special Someone
Do you have that special someone
One who makes it a joy to be near
Someone that will be there for you
One who you will forever hold dear
Tell me have you ever seen them
Look around my friend and see
The beauty found in a friendship
A difference in life there will be
Give a smile and you will get one
They are contagious thats for sure
Happiness they will ever bring you
Feelings in you heart that are pure
Just remember friends are precious
Always be there in their time of need
Never turn away even for a moment
Happiness in your mind will be freed
Beautiful Springtime
I feel the warm breezes blowing
It is another beautiful spring day
The birds are singing in the trees
Children have come out to play
The azalea is blooming so pretty
The aroma of hyacinth fills the air
The white dogwood is so fantastic
You can see the beauty everywhere
I look and see the wooded hillside
There the green leaves are growing
Buds are on the Mountain Laurel
The beauty of springtime is showing
Look around and you can plainly see
Wonders He created for you and me
Take good care never to abuse them
Beauty in this world you will ever see
