An Arkansas Traveler
An Arkansas Traveler
All our troubles we wanted to unravel
Did travel on Arkansas road of gravel
Would have to hear a humming sound
Even though no other car was around.
Were astound by site of countryside
Forever there we both want to abide
Hearing sounds of horses and a cow
Where we wanted to live some how.
Like Arkansas there is no other place
People happy with smiles on each face
Part of what God had planned for them
In prayers every night they thank Him.
Dream came true and we now know why
Those in Arkansas live until they die,
And so many cemeteries can be found
Where birds sing with a sweet sound.
Just ordered a grave stone for Jill's mother.
They will not be able to install it until
after six months or so. People are dying
to get in and once they do they do not
want to leave. My wife Jill and her whole
side of the family were all born in the
Batesville, Arkansas area.
