When pain benumbs my body


and it clouds a tear-filled eye


or frets of woe from living


refuse to pass you bye


or a loss of dear departed


to that hallowed place sublime


These scars will fade and disappear


in the interlude of time.


My Dad did many of these as class assignments.  I do not have the background for many of these.  As I find his notes, I will add them and hope that they add depth and explanations.  

THOUGHTS ON REVERENCE

There're many things for us to learn
     fore heaven's gate we pass
And reverence is but one of them
     That lets us show our class


The house of GOD is one prime place
     To love with all your heart
Let not your lips become the one
     That dreadful noise to start


Visit in the vestibule,
     or outside with friends
But let our ears hear not the din
     That idle chatter lends


Show love divine to GOD above
     While in this hall you sit
and act as saints in love with GOD
     and all that goes with it

MERRY-GO-ROUND

I want to take my girlfriend

out on the merry-go-round.

I want to have her by my side

as we go round and round.

I want to grab that big brass ring

and gain that wondrous prize.

To have her with me evermore

as we live out our lives.

For life is very much like

a ride on the Merry-go-round.

There's lots of joys and sorrows

and lots of ups and downs.

The music grates upon your ears

or sometimes smooth as cream.

An ever changing pattern

as we live out our dreams.

We'll live out our allotted time

upon life's stormy tide.

I try to do the best I can,

my helpmate by my side.

And when my time is nearly o'er,

there'll be no need to frown

For we have had a gala trip

on our life on the Merry-Go-Round.
