Friends

A true friend is worth more than gold
That's what the Good Book says I'm told

If you get off on the wrong track
A true friend will gently guide you back

A true friend will listen to you all-day
Having a genuine interest in what you say

Is there a friend that can be with you near or far
Jesus, if you ask Him, where ever you are

Jesus cares because he is love
He is sent, to help us, from His Father above

No better friend you will ever find
Bowing your head and calming your mind

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.
