Tales From Two Texas Paw Paw

Hi folks, this is 2 Texas PawPaw and the reason for this blog is I like to tell stories and try to write a little poetry now and then. Most of my writings is about my family because I have the greatest family in the world, I realize if you dont know my family, it might be a little boring to you but maybe my family will get a kick out of some of it anyway, Hope you like it and if you dont, well, thats ok too, you're still my friend.

"SISTER IN LAWS"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw, and this morning I want to talk about sister in laws. You got any? Well, if you do, I hope yours are as sweet and beautiful as mine because I've got the greatest ones in the world. I had three but we lost one back in 1998, Ann, and she was a jewel. I've written several poems about Ann but here's one a lot of the family might not have ever seen. It goes like this-----THERE IS A DEAR PLACE, A WONDERFUL PLACE, WITH A SMALL COMFORTABLE BACK YARD---IT'S HIGH IN THE SKY, FAR FROM YOU AND I, A PLACE WHERE ANGELS STAND GUARD---THIS PLACE HAS BEEN GIVEN BY SOMEONE IN HEAVEN, TO GET THERE IT'S NOT AT ALL HARD---JUST FOLLOW YOUR HEART FROM THE VERY START, TO THIS PLACE WHERE ANGELS STAND GUARD---WE KNOW SOMEONE THERE, FOR WHOM WE REALLY CARE, IN OUR LIFE SHE ONCE STARRED---SHE WENT A WHILE BACK, AND RODE THE RIGHT TRACK, TO THAT PLACE WHERE ANGELS STAND GUARD---SHE NOW CALLS IT HOME, AND SHES NOT ALONE, SHE NEVER NEEDS A PLASTIC CARD---BUMPY'S THERE TOO, WAITING FOR YOU, AT THAT PLACE WHERE ANGELS STAND GUARD---AND SOMEDAY SOON, AT NIGHT OR AT NOON, WE WILL GO THERE TO SHARE THAT YARD---WITH BUMPY AND ANN, WE'RE TOGETHER AGAIN, IN THAT PLACE WHERE ANGELS STAND GUARD.-----Bumpy was my father-in-law, and Ann's Daddy, we lost him back in 1985, and no finer man ever lived. Well folks, this is TwoTexas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
