Another year has come full circle
And memories old and new
Get me thinking of how truly blessed I am
To have a father as wonderful as you
...

Deer hunting time is here again
And many hunters take to the woods
After months of planning with family and friends
They gather in common brotherhood
...

I prayed to God to send me a friend
Who had things in common with me
Someone who looks beyond here and now
Who lives life joyfully
...

Fill me Lord with your love
So there's room for nothing else
Please take all despair and pain away
And may your forgiveness, dear Lord, be felt
...

I LOVE MY HORSE AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY
HE'S THE BEST HORSE AROUND AND THAT IS NO LIE
HE'S TOUGH AND SMART AND ALWAYS DOES THE RIGHT THING
WHATEVER I ASK AND RIDES LIKE A DREAM
...

Cowgirls are special and work hard every day
They feed their own horses, and stack their own hay
They know who they are, and where they are from
Their family comes first, but when the chores are all done
...

It's so nice to know someone
Who thinks that way that I do
It's so nice to be in love
And know it's returned to you
...

I will always remember my granny
She was a woman in her own right, and loved by many
She was a woman of great strength and pride
With a character all her own, and she took things in stride
...

Bits of paper pressed in a book
Remembrances he wanted to keep
Obituaries of the ones he loved most
And poems that could make you weep
...

A year is approaching since you passed on
And so many memories come to mind
I think about all that you have meant to me
And the empty place you left behind
...

A man must labor all his life
But what makes him a success
Is how he lived while he was here
That seperates him from the rest
...

Oh, my Ireland, you're bound to me
For you're the country, I long to see
I love your courage, so shining and true
For your people died for, the love of you
...

Best intensions should count for something
Even if they never come true
Because it's the part of you that keep hoping
And gives you the courage to start anew
...

You say that you've been hurt in your life
I'll give you that it's true
Your childhood was hard to bear
So many betrayed you
...

Think about me and you
Think of all the changes we've been thru
The laughter and the tears
The years together
...

Memories of you are precious to me
Because memories are all that I have
The loss of you leaves a hole in my heart
And leaves me feeling alone and sad
...

Live each day by day
As if it were your last
And treasure all the memories of your past
Do all the things that you wanted to do
...

Years may come and years may go
But your love still remains so true
And this love has spread and overflows
To all of us who love you too
...

One of the things that I'm most proud of
Since I was very young
Is learning to cook and enjoying it so
And what a pleasure it has become
...

There is a land I dream of
A land so far away
It's held my heart since I was young
And still does to this very day
...
