THANK YOU GOD Dedicated to Edwin J. Davilla (23 May 1946--27 June 2001) Thank you GOD. For who I am And who I am Meant to be, Thank you for The pain and growth That I'm allowed To see. The Man upstairs Held down His hand, He smoothed a way In this bad land. I look to Him for Strength and love. These are freely Given by GOD above. Marita A. Lawler Copyright 1982

WRITE You say to write This causes Fright Sending my heart pounding Within my breast. It is a strain The words remain Locked within my head. No one knows How the tension grows When this word is said. Marita A. Lawler Copyright 1984

MEET ME THERE I have a fond dream I wish to share I hope that you will Meet me there Under clear blue skies On majestic mountains By beautiful lakes Among tall trees These things are mine In dreams alone As through this Lonely world I roam This fond dream I wish to share I hope that you will Meet me there Marita A.
