Messages From Heaven

For 47 years and 2 weeks He was there by my side Then the sad day came When he up and died. On my way home he was there And as I turned onto the road to home Garth Brooks began to sing "The River" It's message was so profound. Then at breakfasts some songs they'd play Were messages to which I could relate "Remember When," by Allen Jackson And Garth Brook's song "The Dance" Rascal Flats song "The Long Lonesome Road" Could have been his life, It's message I first misread Until I opened up my eyes. With "If Tomorrow Never Comes," Garth Brooks breaks my heart But with his song "Sometimes Other Than The Night" The message was quite strong. And then there were times I'd go to town Where usually business was involved One of these special songs would play To let me know he was along. I'd even turn from station to station To keep the signal clear And yes, You are right my friends One of these special songs would be there. Yesterday it was "The Dance" Today I learned the news The bank had presented the papers on the house So they could be approved. Today I learned it had been approved And Our things we'll once more share We'll look from our window And see the buffalo there. I sometimes wonder if there is a message In a song Leanne Womack sings It happens following stressful times And it's called "I Hope You Dance." OUR HOME ON THE RANGE, will be just that For now till the end of time And I'll continue to read my books Sharing the life the cowboys had When the west was free and wild. This morning when I was getting up I turned on the radio and Garth Brooks had just started singing "THE DANCE".
