Lost Love
Oh! What pales today because of death or fad time should not lessen the luster that love had. Once love has shown through it has forever been. Pray it gives us courage to try to love again.

Keep Your Money
Making money's wise. Let your money grow. Let the market rise. Invest your money, invest your money, the rich old man cries. It's no fault of yours the abused child dies. Saving is your pitch. Don't pay for health care unless it is your itch. Invest your money, invest your money.

Epilogue
You kept your money dear when God called you home. Words you didn't want to hear "Your money's no good here." (Dow Jones not spoken here.) You stood in amazement when an angel came and kicked your golden rear ah, Heaven's gate. So near!

No Clones Please
When shadows lengthen on the hill the young look forward to the dark. They'll take one another out to play, on great old pleasures they'll embark. After every night there is a day, after every winter comes a spring.

"Mom"
Some there are who come among s and teach us how to live. They don't teach us how to take, they teach us how to give. They show us how to enjoy life. They are always full of fun. Such was the one we bury today.

Music Man
From the wood, his voice, and taut strings it's beautiful music he brings. Feel the emotion from his soul from that's the music maker's goal. The birds feel envy in their heart, When they hear his loved notes depart.

Every Day A Valentine
One day to express my love for you - it's like one grain of sand to make a beach. I try to put power in all my words, but that, my love, is far beyond my reach.

Young Lovers
Oh, youth of today take courage. Love and long term commitments make. Yes, it is worth all the effort. Permanent homes are the stake. A place where security rules, where love and goodwill can abound. Select well, work hard, and love complete.
