OUR LAST HOME ON EARTH

May 28, 2011

 (Jim and Marge are here to stay)

Flashback to when we first became a sibling act

You lost your Joe and I my Jodie, both so dear

We had to face the lonely life without them," fact"

 We knew that growing old would be our greatest fear

Then God imposed upon our minds this plan to be

Our only way to face this life and remain sane

We knew that soon decisions must be made so we

Embarked upon this way that we could ease the pain

Advancing years and failing health made it so clear

That we could not continue in this way for long

I broke my hip and her heart showed the signs of wear

We knew our lives must merge so we could remain strong

God led the way to this retirement home so nice

We now enjoy the company of friends so grand

We share our memories of how we paid the price

And now we wait before our Lord at last to stand

Dear Waterford we owe you thanks and gratitude

My Sis and I are happy as we share our thanks

Among the aging Angels that sustain our mood

Of  our happiness together in these loving ranks
