K) Oh, listen my dear little soul, to the fairy voices calling,for the moon is high in the misty sky, and the honey dew is falling.To the midnight feast in the clover bloom, the blubells are ringing, And its come away to the land of fay, that the katydid is singing.Oh, slumber little dear my soul And hand in hand we'll wander, Of Balow,away, off yonder. Or wells ail along a lily leaf Into the white moons halo, over stream of mist and dream, into the land of Balow. Or you sahll have two beautiful wings, Two gossamer wings and airy, And all the while the old moon smile, And think of you a little fairy. And you shall dance on velvet sky, And the silvery stars shall twinkle, And dream sweet dreams as over their beams,your footfall softly tinkle. L) When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today.While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me,as much as I love you, and each time you think of me,I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me,please try to understandThat it is temporary that I have left this ols system ans this old land. As I look to Jesus Christ above to take care of those that I dearly love,But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye. For all my life I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you, I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday just even for awhile,I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile, But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me, And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow,But when I walked through paradise. I felt so much at home, when God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne He said"This is eternity and all I've promised you" Today your life on earth is past, but here in paradise life starts anew,And since each day's the same way there's no longing for the past. You Have been so faithful, so trusting and so true, Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do,but you have been forgiven and now at last you're free, So won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me. So when tomorrow starts with out me, don't think we're far apart, I'm right here in your hearts! Be thou Faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life(Rev.2-10) M) We lived together in happiness, now we must rest together in peace. N) American Legion
