This old house is a mystery,
it is filled with lots of history.
It needs to be cleaned out,
now what are we going to talk about?
Let's go to the big closet,
mom made this her big bank deposit.
Look a very old dusty shoebox,
wow!!! is it Ralph our pet blue fox?
Two Hearts Aprayin'
This year has been so very sad;-
Life turned so wickedly bad;
But your love still makes me glad,-
Here's two hearts aprayin'!
Life has been short of thrills;-
Often we could not pay the bills;
But we never did try to steal,-
Here's two hearts aprayin'!
We seeded love into our nest;-
Said our prayers and all the rest;
And I know your love is the best,-
Here's two hearts aprayin'!
Maybe it did not go all so right;-
We both worked hard day and night;
But thank the Lord we saw a light,-
Here's two hearts aprayin'!
We struggled to be so very brave;-
Sacrificed and ate less to save;
Your love my life it did truly save,-
Here's two hearts aprayin'!
For joy and love to just grow;-
Our happiness dares to make it so;
Sweet bliss came we both know,-
Here's two hearts aprayin'!

Dug this one out of my oldies file..
My first wife and I had a terrible year that
year! She wrecked our car, lost her purse with
a 900 dollar cash bank deposit in it and our dog
Brownie died! I fell off the roof doing home
repair, hurt my back and missed 9 weeks work!
