On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year

On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year
Lord George Byron

'Tis time this heart should be unmoved,
Since othes it hath ceased to move;
Yet, though I cannot be beloved,
Still let me love!

My days are in the yellow leaf;
The flowers and fruits of love are gone;
The worm, the canker, and the greif,
Are mine alone!

The fire that on my bosom preys
Is lone as some volcanic isle;
No torch is kindled at its blaze-
A funeral pile!

The hope, the fear, the jealous care,
The exalted portion of the pain
And power of love, I cannot share,
But wear to the chain.

But 'tis not thus-and 'tis not here-
Such thoughts should shake my soul, nor now,
Where glory decks the hero's bier'
Or binds his brow.

Homecoming

Homecoming
by: Nancy Lucille Taylor

Two months since that lonely day,
Mother said, "good-bye" and went away;
She left around the break of day,
Exact time, no one could say.

We longed to keep her here awhile,
She said, "Dad's waiting with a smile";
You kids, live good and come on,
We'll be waiting near God's throne.

Mother and Dad-sitting at the Gate,
Out stretched arms, longingly wait;
Where family will be complete again,
Free from all heartaches, sorrow and sin.
