The blossoms are so beautiful this year,**
but Bob's not here.
The birds are singing sweetly in the trees,
and all around me is a gentle breeze,
but Bob's not here.
My hero battled bravely to the end,
fighting for three long years a cancer rare,
inspired his family and all his friends,
and even strangers happening to be there.
His heart grew larger as he suffered on,
The Lord was truly with him all the way,
and with the ups and downs that surely come,
God's blessings were so evident each day.
Every time I heard a certain song,
his wedding dance song, "The Wind Beneath My Wings",
it touched my broken heart so tenderly,
reminding me that God is in all things.
So many beautiful stories I could tell,
of all the daily blessings that were there,
And, even now, my soul is comforted,
remembering God's goodness, I can share,
"God heals the brokenhearted" is so true,
Each day live thinking you have just this day,
to live upon this earth, so live it well,
The past is gone, tomorrow may not come,
And God is with us in the here and now.

I had a family visit today,
On their way back from vacation,
They stopped in to say hi! and spread some news,
It's too bad this isn't their final destination.
There was April Love,
She lives up to her name.
She loves one and all,
Exactly the same.
There was Amanda Gail,
Named after her mom and Grandpa.
A very fine girl,
If she keeps her head up she will go far.
There was also Jesse Kenneth,
A good looking young man.
If he keeps his eyes open,
Someday he'll see God's plan.
They brought along a cousin Andy Justin,
A bright young teenager.
He came along to have fun and also,
to be the official babysitter.
There were also the parents Robin and Ken,
Fine parents they are.
They should be very proud of the job they have done,
For they have three fine kids, and they will all go far.
There is also the Grandparents,
Gail and Arlene,
Together they all make up,
the clan called Melugin.
It's such a shame,
It's such a pity.
They can't stay here,
In beautiful Bullhead City.
Form:
She was lean, she was mean, a fighting machine.
Sixteen brothers had toughened her up.
She was secret woman, our little Arlene.
Raised on cold kerosene from a cup.
Our mother had passed when Arlene came into the world,
On a horribly stormy and mean October Saturday night.
We all crowded around, as the drama unfurled,
Sixteen brothers, and a dad, oh, so tight.
We dressed her in our best hand-me-downs, the best fellows all around.
And took turns with her feedings, up until a quarter ‘til three.
Dressed in blue overalls, and short-named Arley, she loved to run around.
Like a wild thing, thinking she was a boy, the best she could be.
When she started to school, the teachers wanted her to change F to M,
Thinking she was a boy, a fellow, one of the guys, which she thought she was.
Until one accidentally discovered she was girl, but knew nothing of fem.
Then them teachers started horning in teaching her to cook and sew and stuff.
Pa and us stood helplessly by, as they tried to change Little Arley into a girl.
It was great when she could make delicious chili soup and cheese cake surprise
But we were all irritated at sixteen when she started wearing girl clothes,
And got her eyes on some idiotic seventeen-year-old not-so-great guys.
She went to the prom, and we all followed along in our pick-up trucks and RVs.
She was our baby, and we were not about to let anything change our family’s way.
Five years later we followed her and her new husband to Texas, so he could see.
She was our baby, and we were not going to let her move so far away.
The marriage did not last, and we have lots of reasons and thinking about the why.
But she is home with pa now, safely tucked away, with her wedding dress on the closet door.
Making chili and pastries, and other good stuff like molasses cookies and pumpkin pie.
Home where she belongs, wild and crazy as ever, Little Arlene, we always knew before.
Little Arlene, the best auntie around,
Little Arlene, the one our children adore.
Little Arlene, the best sister we have found,
Little Arlene, home for ever more.
Little Arlene, Little Arlene, Little Arlene!
I went to the Dragons to try and make a deal.
I didn't consider, how scared I would feel.
On the tables beside them, were piles of cash.
I became so nervous, I broke out in a rash.
Tongue tied I fumble, my ideas unclear.
How in the world, did I ever end up here.
Jim from Boston Pizza, a former RCMP
Said if he had his cuffs, he would arrest me
Then Mr Wonderful, not such a friendly guy
Said my idea was so bad, it made him want to cry
Arlene was a little nicer, yet still said that she was out
My confidence was shot, I felt like such a lout
Robert Herjavic said " don't quit your day job".
I could take no more, I started to sob!
If you have an idea, be sure you prepare
As for me happy, to get away from there
Dragons Den is a Canadian show where entrepreneurs
present ideas to Millionaires in hopes they will invest
in their business or idea. This is thankfully not a real
life experience.
