For those who will understand: Lord, thankyou for the friends I’ve known and horses rode. Thankyou for the sunrise across a mountain peak,with frost upon my bedroll,and the smell of coffee by the fire. Thankyou for the life I have lived, and the friends and familly who made it mine. Thankyou for the broken bones,burns,scrapes and bruises. For these are what remind me of the beautiful and blessed life I have lived! One more thing Lord, if I may? Let my memory be told in stories around some campfire for many years to come.

I ain’t got a dime in these old worn out jeans
So I’ll stop eatin’ steak and go back to beans
I’ll pick up a ten spot in Lovelock I know
I’ll be fixing some machine on some ranch I know
So I’ll stop eatin’ steak and go back to beans
I’ll pick up a ten spot in Lovelock I know
I’ll be fixing some machine on some ranch I know

Be with them as they fight a distant war to keep us safe.
Give them strenght and give them peace.
If you should find it needed to call one our Soldiers home,
Be with them and give them comfort, and be with their familly.
Please Lord, Bless friends & familly gathered this day.
Amen
“The Echo of a Teardrop”
“The Echo of a Teardrop”
A teardrop is silent, no sound can be heard.
It falls to the ground, silence undisturbed.
But the echo remains, forever in our mind,
It crashes upon our conscious thoughts, of times gone behind.
Perhaps the echo of the teardrop, that awakes us from our sleep,
Is the memory of a child, that upon this Earth we could not keep.
The echo can shatter, the silence of our day.
Or come upon us silently, as we kneel down to pray.
The echo of a teardrop, forever shall rebound,
From across God’s universe, we shall often hear the sound.
A reminder that of the reason, that each teardrop fell,
So that we shall always be enchanted, by a precious child’s spell.
The echo of the teardrop, will bring more teardrops from my eyes,
And silently again they fall, but my spirit soars on high.
Because the echo of the teardrop, reminds in time I will be free,
And in time my Earthly bounds I’ll break, and that child again I’ll see.
