The following poetry is very special and reminds us of our "special angel" Jordan...we hope you enjoy reading it.
I'll lend you for a little time,
A child of mine he said
For you to love while he lives
And mourn for when he is dead
It may be three or five years
Or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for me?
He'll bring charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life lanes
I have selected you
Now will you give him all your love
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
And take him back again
I fancied that I heard them say.
Dear Lord thy will be done
The risk of grief will run,
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.

Forever on my mind
The fragrance of a yellow rose
Floating about the air,
Reminds me of another time,
And of beauty so rare.
The melodic strains of an orchestra
Wisping through the night,
Remind me of another time,
And so of a lovely sight.
Remembrance such as these
Flood my thoughts with rhyme
And I can not help but long for
The song of another time.
A time when life made sense to me,
When love was everywhere;
When you and I would dance and dance
While your fragrance filled the air.
Such memories consume me,
And they constantly remind;
That you, my sweet, are in my heart
And forever on my mind.

I asked God
I asked God for strength...
And He gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked God for wisdom...
And He gave me problems to solve.
I asked God for prosperity...
And He gave me brain and braun to work.
I asked God for courage...
And He gave me danger to overcome.
I asked God for love...
And He gave me troubled people to help
I asked God for favors...
And He gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted...
And received everything I needed.
