One more night dreaming of home
Morning arrives and my weeping cascades

Gathering my strength I pray our...

Silence hushed, a crowd in awe,
Only crickets could be heard.
Under the spell of the Babe,
They looked to where he pointed,
Hoping to see a home run.

Beckons the mind to open where,
Clearing the cobwebs has begun,
Dreaming so many words to share.

Linnie Mae Ethel you were christened.
I never knew you by that name.
No one ever called you Linnie.
Now that really is a shame.
I surmise you didn't like it,
