Rocking Chair

I sit here in my rocking chair

and watch the world go by

I think of you my loved one

and I'm so lonesome I could cry

I think of the good times that we had

the laughter and the tears

but we weathered them together

through many happy years

the lord then came to see us

this is what he had to say

one of you must go

but the other one must stay

so you was the one he chose to go

and I was left behind

he needed you up in heaven

to help with his overtime

but one day soon he'll come for me

he'll take me by the hand

and say, someone's waiting for you

up there in the promise land

he'll walk me up those golden stairs

untill we reach heaven's door

and you will be there waiting

never to part no more.

we'll walk among the angels

hand in hand, we'll be

no more tears, no more heartache

throughout eternity

Dorothy (Chapman) Wingo to her loving husband after his death.

Death's Dream

last night as I lay dreaming

I dreamed that I was dead

I floated up to heaven

with a halo on my head

I drifted through the pearly gates

on clouds of fleecy white

I walked among the angels

it was a lovely sight

I walked through hills and valleys

on the streets all paved in gold

then I came upon a stranger

standing by the road

I stopped and asked directions

to the mansion of the lord

and said that if he had the time

with him I'd like a word

then the stranger smiled at me

he shed a tear or two

go back he said,  you can't stay here

you've still worldly things to do

go back along your pathway

cast away your sins

give your love to Jesus

then you may enter in

then the mist began to fade

the stranger too it seamed

then I awoke and found it all

had only been a dream
