The Stage Coach

The old horse-drawn stagecoach, help tame the west
Bringing men and women dressed in their Sunday best 

Not being a trip for the faint of heart
Dirt, heat and sweat from the very start

Horses pulled with all their great might, to reach the changing post
Giving all they had as a team, for the masters they loved most

Transporting passengers to and from the wild wild west
Bringing some civility by those who were surely blest

The west was changed into what it is today
Because the old  stagecoach blazed the way

Arlington National Cemetery

Arlington National Cemetery is the most hallowed Ground I  will ever see.
Those who served, many died to preserve freedom for you and me

If I could hear the many memories they would share
Those dreadful memories I could not begin to bear

The only solace I have here on this day
They rest in calm peace, oh Lord I pray.

Training

To win a physical contest, you must train vigilantly 
This will make your body perform with great agility. 

Spiritual training is much the same,
training with our mind, soul and heart. 
To bring us across the finish line, with great speed, from the very start

The finish line of our life often seems so sad at times.
The Spirit of God being in our lives, 
We will hear those glorious chimes.
