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.

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.

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

By Connie Hopkins

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.
