"TELL ME ABOUT THE STARS"

Raise your eyes and look above
After the sun has set
The sky is filled with twinkling stars
Covering the world like a net

No two stars are just the same
In size or shape or light
But each one shines and glimmers
Twinkling with all its' might

Ever wonder how they got there
Ever wonder what they're for
Ever wonder if there's room enough
To squeeze in just one more

I think I know the reason why
Those little stars are there
And if you'll give me half a chance
My thoughts, with you, I'll share

Each of us has borne a loss
Of a loved one close and dear
Someone with whom we shared a life
Someone that is no longer near

But though this love was taken
And in Heaven they now live
Each has now become a star
And a Twinkle to us - they give
 
 
================================

Have you ever gone camping?

 

I remember outdoor camping

and the fun that we all had

my Brother and our little dog

and of course our Mom and Dad

 

 

Everyday a special treat

Marshmellows on a stick

Knowing how to roast them

Was not an easy trick

 

 

Mom would cook our food at home

But Dad would barbeque

An open fire chef  he was

 knew exactly what to do

 

 

If I seem to be excited

And my happiness you see

My folks said - "Let's go camping"

To my Brother and to me

MY COPPER

I got a little story
that gives me lots of joy
About a dog called "Copper"
a soft and cuddly toy

We were born together
and we've always been a pair
Just the two of us together
A friendship oh-so-rare

I know that he's my buddy
cause everyday we share
We tell each other stories
tell each other how we care

My Coppers really special
his appearance kinda bare
Seems that all my huggin'
has rubbed off all his hair

But he is still my Copper
and with love he fills my heart
And from now until forever
We will never - ever - part
