First meeting

I stepped into the sunshine
Of a friendly prairie dream
Where Willie's Roadhouse kept me company
Through the endless fields of cream
As I drove along this highway
Excitement cruising through my veins
Driving further from all cares
And all my worldly chains
Looking forward to a meeting
Of souls reuniting on this earth
Family growing and love expanding
Proving again what life is really worth
And all in anticipation
Of those first angelic smiles
From a brand new little niece
I have traveled miles and miles.

Fossil

Millions of years have gone by
And now you see the light again
Though ordinary in your time
You are a marvel to our generic eyes
A miracle of fossilization
Brought down to us through the years
A privilege to hold you in our hands
Knowing that with you
We close eons in our planet's history
