Goodbye Sweetheart

Goodbye my darling we're parting
I know this will break your heart
Sweet Jesus just told me this morning
That tomorrow we must part

My mother is dead and in heaven
My father has gone there I know
Sister has gone to meet mother
And now it's my time to go

Goodbye my darling I love you
Love you with all of my heart
I'll wait for you up in heaven
The days won't be far apart

Goodbye my darling I'll miss you
I'll miss you with all of my heart
I'll wait for you up in heaven
Never no more to part
Goodbye Sweetheart

Sweet Sixteen
(In memory of Barbara: She will always be young & beautiful & sixteen)

"Don't worry, mom," she said.
"Nothing will happen to me—I'm sixteen."
Then one night, she disappeared.
They didn't find her until the
following year.
She had no fear. She died alone,
with only God at his throne.
He tried to comfort her
as best as He could,
as he held her close to his side.
Then he took her far away,
To his kingdom up in the sky.
