RANDY: U S MARSHALL

THERE IS A U S MARSHALL---WHO RIDES THE TEXAS TRAIL---ROAMING THROUGH THE BADLANDS---PUTTING CROOKS IN JAIL---HE FANCIES TO MY DAUGHTER---SHE THINKS HE'S QUITE A GUY---WE INVITE HIM TO PAMPA---TO MEET NANNY AND I---HE VISITS HER ON WEEKENDS---AND SHOWERS HER WITH FLOWERS---HE SHOULD KNOW ANY FRIEND OF HERS---IS CERTAINLY A FRIEND OF OURS---SO RANDY GRAB YOUR BADGE---AND YOUR SIX SHOT PISTOL---IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KMOW---THATS US SENDING YOU A WHISTLE---WE'RE JUST DOWN TO EARTH---WE TELL A FEW OLD JOKES---SO COME ON DOWN TO PAMPA TOWN---AND VISIT WITH KATHY'S FOLKS---WE THINK WERE FRIENDLY PEOPLE---WE PROMISE NOT TO BORE YOU---AND AS THEY SAY AT MOTEL 6---WE WILL LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR YOU-----This is TWO TEXAS PAW PAW, signing off.

"PERRY"

This poem is for my two GrandDaughters, Angela and Kendra.---PERRY HAS TAKEN THAT JOURNEY---HE HAS RISEN ABOVE THE CLOUDS---HE HAS FOUND THE GATES TO HEAVEN---AND WILL SEE ALL THAT GOD ALLOWS---HE WILL WALK THE STREETS OF PURE GOLD---AND VISIT MT. CALVARY---AND SEE THE CROSS WHERE JESUS DIED---FOR THE SINS OF YOU AND ME---HE WILL STAND BEFORE THE TOMB---WHERE HE ROSE UP FROM THE GRAVE---HE FOUND A WAY TO LIVE AGAIN---AND SEEK SOULS TO SAVE---PERRY WILL SWIM IN THE RIVER JORDAN---HE WILL VISIT GOD'S GREAT CHURCH---WHERE JESUS STOOD UPON THE THRONE---AND PREACHED TO THE BEST AND THE WORST---AND ON SOME GOLDEN DAYBREAK---WHEN JESUS FINALLY COMES---PERRY WILL WITNESS HIM GATHERING HIS CHILDREN---AND BEGIN TO TAKE THEM HOME---PERRY WILL BE AMONG THEM---WHERE PAIN AND SUFFERING ARE NO MORE---HE WILL FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND---AS HE WALKS ALONG THE SHORE---PERRY WILL BE THERE WHEN JESUS SPEAKS---AND HE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE---THE SWEETEST WORDS HE EVER HEARD---"CHILDREN:-IT'S TIME TO REJOICE---FOR THE BATTLE IS NOW OVER---AND THE VICTORY, PERRY HAS WON---AND ANOTHER LIFE IN HEAVEN HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN---AND TO THOSE HE LEFT BEHIND---HE WISHES YOU NOT WEEP ANYMORE---FOR THE LIFE HE HAS WITH JESUS---IS BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE---FOR IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO SADDNESS---NOTHING BUT THE BEST--AND WHILE IN THE COMPANY OF ANGELS---PERRY WILL FIND ETERNAL REST:This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off.
