FRIENDSHIP COOKIES
I'm going to bake some cookies;
They are bound to hit the spot:
use lots of spice & sugar;
And a little pinch of salt:
I'll substitute some kindness;
And sweet butter churned with love:
Then measure in some friendship;
Like the kind sent from above:
You ask me what they taste like ?
Well I really couldn't say:
I baked the same kind yesterday;
And gave them all away.

CHERYL
A beautiful flower;
A candle bright:
A fawn in a meadow:
A songbird in flight
These images she is to me.
A trusted friend;
A heart of love:
A faithful witness;
To God above:
These images she is to others.
A precious daughter;
Your heart's delight:
Your Child & baby;
A treasure so bright:
These images and more she is to you.
A Father's Child;
A Heavenly pleasure:
Lovingly stored;
With all your treasure:
These images & more she is to God.
And with a promise, that you will be
Reunited with your Treasure.

Three Little Kittens
Three Little Kittens;
Playing in our yard:
Sure looks like they're fighting;
But they aren't biting hard:
Wonder where they came from;
They weren't here before:
I think a car drove down our street;
And shoved them out the door:
So who is going to feed them;
I guess it will be me:
Why anybody left them here;
The reason I can't see:
I can't bring them in the house;
We have so many now:
Yet it really breaks my heart;
To hear them cry meow:
Three Little Kittens;
Playing in our yard:
They're fighting for survival;
They don't know it will be hard:

IN Loving Memory of OSCAR, who came to our yard as a kitten. We loved him for over a year, when he suddenly disapeared without a trace.
