I Still Wonder

I STILL WONDER

There’s not a day that goes by, that I don’t stop and think of your Apple Blossom Smile.
A smile that lights up every room – but now there’s nothing there but darkness and Gloom.
I remember the first day we met, you reminded me of a Cheshire cat – with that Apple Blossom Smile.
But as you turned away, everyone would say, there goes the girl with that – Apple Blossom Smile.
Even though you wandered to the wrong side of the tracks.
I know that one day you’d be back – with that Apple Blossom Smile.
As the days have come and gone, I still wonder what happened to the girl – with the Apple Blossom Smile.

Life Goes On

LIFE GOES ON

It’s been a year since you’ve been gone. It’s kind of hard but Life Goes On – like lightning bugs in a jar.
I remember that day we stole away, and sat beside a waterfall, and looked up at the stars in the sky.
It reminds me of the days that we would run and play and catch lightning bugs in a jar.
Yes, a year has passed, but I can’t forget how we used to catch lightning bugs in a jar.
Yes, I’m staying strong, and life goes on. But I cannot forget how we used to run and skip and put lightning bugs in a jar.
My, how the year passed by so very quick. But now our children run and skip and put lightning bugs in a jar.

Let Me Lean

Let Me Lean

Let me lean on you Lord, you know I’m not that strong.
Let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
As the days go by, I know you can hear me cry.
Let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
I knew there would come a day that I couldn’t make it all the way.
So let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
When my day gets rough, and I know I’m not that tough.
So let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
At the end of the day, I can make it the rest of the way.
That’s when I turn and say, thank you Lord – for allowing me to lean.
So, when the road get rough, and you know I’m not that tough,
I just want to thank you Lord, for letting me lean.

Letter From a Soldier

LETTER FROM A SOLDIER

Even though I may be a thousand miles away, that only means the world is getting smaller every single day.

So, this is what I’ll do to show my love for you – I’ll send you a package every day.

It’ll be postmarked USA, and in this package, there will be a letter, saying I miss you every single day, from a soldier a thousand miles away.

Even though I can’t be with you on this Valentine’s Day, just read the letter and listen to what I have to say.

It will say I love you more than words can express, in a very caring way, from a lonely soldier, a thousand miles away.
