Until We Meet Again

Though parted now by time and space
We'll meet again in our secret place

Where no one knows but just we two
now I go there alone and wait for you

The yearning loneliness tugs at my soul
until we are one again I cannot be whole

My love,my sweet love how long will it be
til I kiss your lips and you're here with me

Memories of your  love still on my mind
I see only your face to all else I am blind

I look up to the heavens and I silently pray
send my love to me and please don't delay

Then I hear you whisper and I turn to see
you're here beside me and forever will be

A Woman Like a Rose

The rose bud is small and the smell is so sweet
 And no other flower in the garden quite so unique

When the petals unfold it makes a beautiful rose
and  the fragrance of that flower fills the air 

Take the thorns from  that beautiful rose
and the beauty can no longer to be found

When the morning dew falls softly on  the rose
it's like a  tear on a woman's face when she cries

 And when a woman's pride  is  taken away
 like the rose her beauty is faded and gone

So never make a woman cry and men be very aware
her beauty may be hidden but the thorn is still  there

The Dog and the Rabbit

The dog seen a rabbit and how he did chase
to catch that little critter and boy what a race

But one thing that rabbit knew as he ran away
he was not going to be lunch for that dog today

Around the tree and  into the bushes he went
the dog was right after that little rabbit's scent

the dog was so busy that he never did see
that big old  hornet nest  way up in the tree

running and barking and making a sound
made all the hornets start buzzing around

They all made a dive and together they flew
when they  hit the dog he knew he was through

He made up his mind right there and then
he would never go chasing that rabbit again

Gods Perfect Plan

Today I saw a bird in flight and began to wonder why
God made us to walk on earth and made the bird to fly

Then I began to think way back when I was just a kid
I often dreamed of flying then some time I think I did

I still can see me flying high while looking down below
oh' the dream it was so neat I wish it had been so

God had a plan for man and what he wanted him to be
it wasn't flying through the air or swimming in the sea

But now as I think back on this I see God's perfect plan
he never meant for beast or foul to take the place of man

Yes he made the birds to fly and made the beast to roam
but man he made to rule them all and walk the road alone

Then God saw that it was wrong not to give the man a mate
so he took a rib from Adam's side and women he did make

God put them in a garden there and took great care of them
now I think you know the rest what separated them from him

But God still had a plan for man and sent him Jesus Christ
and now we have to pray to him to forgive us of our past

now I still dream of flying high and know some day I can
when Jesus Christ will take us home forever to be with him

A Lazy Afternoon

I sit  on my deck on this lazy afternoon
watching the sun move slowly to the west

The leaves are dancing on the oak tree out back 
from a breeze gently blowing from the south

A sparrow is hopping from post to post 
on the old fence down by the road

A little squirrel  playing  and running around
to the top of the tree and down to the ground

then I hear a whistle from a distant train
And the rhythm is like music to my ears

I  think to myself  what wonderful way 
to spend a  beautiful  lazy  afternoon

We Are Blessed

We are such a blessed people and our heavenly 
father  loves us so much that he spoils us
And I think because of this we take him for granted 

We go to church and listen to enough of God's word
to save the world over many times and the Holy Spirit 
will bless us until we  can hardly stand it

We tell the Lord that we will do what  he wants us to do
and go where he want's us to go
and we have great intentions of doing just  that

but when we leave our bench and the place where we sit
We leave those great intentions and  blessings there
and forget the promises we made to him

No wonder we love to go back and sit on the same bench
and same place every time because we can pick up those
same intentions and blessings and not feel so guilty

Our Heavenly Father is our best friend and when we tell him
that we will obey him  then no matter what we have to do
we need to do just that   lets match his love


Matthew 21: 28-31

Think On These Things

Go for a walk stop in the park
sit on a bench think for awhile
take your time look around
see all the things you've missed

Be very quiet and notice the sound
of a passing car or a distant train
children playing the bark of a dog
the birds singing in harmony

Take a look at a flower
see the color and shape
say a prayer thank the Lord
for the things you see and hear
Listen to the music

Uncle Sam

As I grew up there was a man that every body knew
 he was every body's family we all called him uncle too

 I don't know from which side of our family that he came
 but I knew that he was kin  Uncle Sam was his name

 He was on posters every where and everyone knew his face
 then one day he just went away  I guess to some other place

 I never heard of him passing away or leaving the country or such
 no one talks of him any more I guess we don't miss him so much

 Now I look in the post office the grocery and every where else in town
 can anyone tell me or do you  know  what happened to our uncle Sam

The Old Oak Tree

In a meadow by the stream there stood a big oak tree
and now I think of all the things that tree has meant to me

The old tire swing hung from a limb was put up by our dad
and all day long us kids would play and oh' what fun we had

In the shade of that old tree whose limbs are now bent low
is where I met my one true love so many years ago

Was where I got my very first kiss under that old tree
and that old oak stood right there smiling down at me

We are all grown up now but how we loved that old tree
a place of refuge for us all a place where we were free

We all went back the other day to see just one more time
that beautiful tall old oak tree for ever etched in our mind

The Old Bridge

There stands an old bridge just west of town
now the iron is all rusted and worn and brown

People traveling will always get their kicks 
when crossing that  bridge on old route 66

People in Bethany love that  bridge still
and just driving over it is still a great thrill

Visit Bethany and then drive  west of town
pass that old bridge and then turn around

Then look for a while and just get your kicks
and drive across that old bridge on route 66
