I sailed upon the sea of life
In the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty Four
Bound for places far from home,
And steered a course yet unknown
...
A winter night is creeping,
Up to my cottage door,
And I have calmly settled in,
Like many times before.
...
The evening moon shinning high,
Cast its' light on the dead that lay,
Out over the fields and woods nearby,
Some in blue and some in gray.
...
I went out to that place of stones,
Where dear ones lay deep below,
And I begged the cool earth to release,
The sweet faces I used too know,
...
A Perfect Rose
So deep and pure, the one I chose
From this earthly garden. a perfect rose,
...
A Dirt Road
Somewhere there is a dirt road
Long and narrow and traveled much,
...
Love is giving, love is kind,
Love is gentle, love is blind.
Love is meek, love is bold,
...
Years in Heaven have you spent,
Among the Angels so content,
Yet no voice or whisper has come down,
To tell us of the wonder found.
...
IN the wee small hours of Christmas morn,
While parents are in their bed sleeping,
In the dim light of the Christmas Tree,
Two shadowy forms are creeping.
...
I'll be there in the springtime
For I love that part of year,
I'll be the sunshine on the flowers.
I'm in the wind you hear.
