County Fair
When it was time for the county fair
We would pick blackberries to sell
One dollar a gallon is what we got
Sweetest berries grew in the dell
We picked in a three gallon bucket
At times we had to carry them miles
When we got to our customers home
Our face would be covered with smiles
After we sold them the berries we had
We promised to pick them some more
Back down to that dell we would walk
Then picked until our fingers were sore
Fun we had at the fair seemed worth it
With pop corn and cotton candy to eat
We would go home without a dime left
But time at the fair just couldn’t be beat
True Love
Our dream world we have is happy
Holding you in my arms gives to me
Feelings like I have never felt before
This love like ours was meant to be
Your smile is so sweet and tender
I see the magic in your eyes of blue
Reflections that I can see in them
Lets me know how much I love you
Sweet words I can hear you whisper
As my arms are holding you so tight
It is times like this I feel near Heaven
Your love makes everything be right
It is a heart full of love I give to you
May our days be filled with delight
When our lips meet in a sweet kiss
Our world becomes ever so bright
Walk With Him
Walk with Him hold onto His hand
He will lead you to the promise land
Listen to His voice both firm and low
He will tell you the only way to go
Walk the way He has told you to go
It is the only way, He has told you so
Your heart he will fill with pure love
It is the reward for your life you wove
If today or if it be tomorrow, He calls
Are you ready for those hallowed halls
Walk those last miles with your bare feet
If it meant your Savior you would meet
Lift up your eyes and you will see
This world He built for you and me
Hold on to your belief never be late
He will see you at the Heavenly gate
Heaven Bound
When our work on Earth is done
Our rewards, then we shall reap
To walk on those golden streets
It is the memories they will keep
For it is to a better place we go
Much better than here on Earth
To hold onto His precious hand
We pray that we are the worth
Know the ones we leave behind
Will join us on that happy day
Just ask God for tender mercy
Ever time that you stop to pray
Though some hearts are heavy
Its something they should know
Everyone is welcome in Heaven
It is true because He told us so
Ever Together
Arm in arm they walk on the old pathway
Thinking of the dreams they have shared
Smiling as they talk about those old times
Twinkling eyes show how much they cared
His hands no longer rough and callused
He had retired from work many years ago
He stays busy working in his little garden
It is with his tender care he makes it grow
No longer are their children living here
It is much easier to keep her house neat
She loves making those fancy little doilies
She loves to give them away, its her treat
Watching the evening news on television
Is something that they would never miss
Before they go to bed they say a prayer
Then end their day with a goodnight kiss
An Old Carpenter
His tools have all been put away
No longer will he work with wood
Once he was a master carpenter
He would still do work if he could
Framing a door was easy for him
Rafters he cut with exact precision
Nailing them together was a snap
His was always a perfect decision
His home he built many years ago
Every board was nailed by his hand
His wife loved their house so much
She always had it looking so grand
Today he sits with his eyes so sad
He still looks but never remembers
Sitting by the window in his chair
His mind destroyed by Alzheimers
March Madness
March madness comes to us in many forms
Most notable is basketball championships
Both high school and colleges play for fame
Every team plays hard to make these trips
Baseball teams train to get ready to play
Aspirations of young players are up high
Some with talent will be lost in the shuffle
Dreams of playing for the big team will die
March madness shows within our home
It is time to clean winter's dirt and grime
Wash windows and clean out the garage
Isn't it funny what you accumulate in time
March madness sets us free of cabin fever
Cooped up with the cold winter, now set free
Like young children let out on a playing field
March madness had arrived for you and me
Wedding day
One night as they were out in the rain
Two happy people strolling lovers lane
Their hearts were racing in sweet delight
A wedding was planned for a May night
Dreams of their future was soon at hand
Each had bought a golden wedding band
Rings they will place on each others finger
Knowing their thoughts of love will linger
To each they have pledged all of their love
Knowing He has sanctioned it from up above
Forever to those vows they now will be true
It is because you love him and he loves you
When the time is near and your nerves set in
They will stay until the ceremony is to begin
Soon then you know for the rest of your life
You will be spending time as man and wife
Fallen Trees
They are still laying where they fell
Some were large, other ones small
They had reached to grab the sky
But heavy ice had made them fall
Like match sticks strewn all around
Their gray bodies lay in repose now
Though some were heavily rooted
They toppled and then fell anyhow
Without respect to young or the old
Never to know their demise was nigh
But they will be replaced by others
As their cycle of life goes passing by
We know this life some day will end
Like the trees fell on that fateful day
Look my friend to the great beyond
As tonight to your God you do pray
National Past Time
A dream of a lifetime has now escaped Pete
Because a sickness that caused him to dare
To violate one of the cardinal sins in baseball
This sickness, powers in baseball don't care
It seems it is ok to violate their drug rules
To be suspended 7 times for snorting coke
Is less damaging than betting on baseball
It would seem to me this is a horrible joke
If it is alright for a player to take steroids
Have you made cheating part of this game
Breaking records using illegal substances
Creating false records is a rotten shame
Clean up your act baseball Commissioner
Taking illegal substances should never do
If betting on baseball bans you for lifetime
Cheating with steroids deserves a ban too
