Dusty boxes with dusty books
They hold the memories we took
I wish we could go back
To do it all again
There is not one thing I would change.
From the first time, we became one
I knew we would become a pair
The couple, the pair who stayed
The ones who made it all the way.
Whatever the future
We will be together
Whichever one goes first
The other will follow
Then we will become one again
His ashes with mine, will be spread
Over our home place.
Then who will remember
Those dusty boxes and books
All those memories we took.

When I look out the window
what do I see a little bitty
blue bird looking back at me.
it flutters around just pecking at the ground.
then a big bird comes out
and scares it away.
I looked out my window,
what do I see?
All of God's blessings
he has given me.

Critters are sweet.
Wonderful and kind
Watch them with wonder!
Let them into your mind,
You will laugh and cry,
All at the same time.
God sends them from up above you know.
So, if you see a critter,
Show them kindness and love.
They may become your best friend,
For life here and above.

If you go into the forest
Get ready for me,
I am a crawler and creeper,
A bug-a-boo or critter,
Or a goblin or *****
Mostly just a varmint,
So, watch your step.
Or it could be your last.

True to myself?
I try to be,
Though I can't help,
What others think of me.

Sad today
Happy tomorrow
Soon you will
Forget all your sorrow.

The man you gave me to love more than any other
Is fading away in front of my eyes
Lord, please tell me how to except this
I love you Lord, but I love him more
I know I should love you most
Please tell me how to do this
He doesn't deserve this suffering
Then neither did you Lord
I know you don't cause pain and illness
I know you could heal him
You know he is a good person
Please heal him, please don't take him
I know you are a jealous God
Please let me keep him, I need him more than you.

I know its way passed Christmas
for some reason
I am getting old and witless
it comes with age
this forgetfulness
it shows no signs of leaving
so please be forgiving.

13 years has it been that long?
since you left the beer can on his headstone
our little brother had been gone two years
as I look at your picture here
I am noticing the gray in your beard
it was there 13 years ago
it brings back my tears
sometimes when I look in the mirror
I see your face
because you were my brother
we favored one another
so, you see for me and my fate
there will never be an escape

I can't match your fancy words
I do understand them however
I found you listen good for a man
You have read between some of my lines
You leave me nowhere to hide
You are right with most of your remarks
Some of them even smart
