A Day In Dallas Texas

One noon day in Dallas Texas
A motorcade came driving by
With our dear President, and First Lady
November 22, with laden skies

From the upper story of a building
The assassin focused his lens
On the back of our dear President
Who had millions and millions of friends

As they drove through and overhead walkway
Three shots roared out so clear
Which took the life of our President
And wounded the governor there

In the tragic moment of confusion
Many prayers were sent up above
For help from our dear Savior
For this world, without love

America must face grim reality
A nation has lost a great man
Our love to Jacqueline Kennedy
This tragedy we'll never understand.

A Day In New York City

Another day in New York City
A limousine came driving by
He stopped for love and spirit of adventure
To a mansion in the sky

America will admire her beauty forever
Her family tree was a portrait of power
A Lady of Beauty, and Class, and Finesse
The world will remember and admire

Her fine chocolates and long stem roses
Her love of words, was bond of home
Her dedication of God and Country
Americans will remember forever more

God gave Jacqueline a little more time
To spend with Carolina and John John
Jacqueline was needed with the younger children
And to say a comforting hello to her husband John

America must face grim reality
This nation has lost a great name
Our love to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
This loss we will never understand.

One Thousand Roses

One beautiful Saturday in August
When the leaves began to drop
From out in the lake came a cruiser
To anchor at Buckhorn Dock

His smile was as broad as the Ocean
His chest was bare and brown
His eyes sparkled like diamonds
His friends he had found

His pleasure was boating at Buckhorn
At noon day or at dark
A tragedy over took him
At fifteen till nine o'clock

To show his love and affection
To his brother who had died
He placed One Thousand Roses
In a blanket by his side.
