What Would You Do
BY THERMAN AMES, Jr.
Near by the hill there stood
As the clouds t)egan to darken the sky
And the earth trembled as never before
A lone ray of light shined over by the hill
Where there stood a few
Some were sad and many were new
Some cried out, Oh, no, moaning...
But what could they do?
The hill - nothing but dirt and rock.
But the few who stood there will they ever forget?
For some were sad, many were new.
Some crying and a few laughing and joldng about dying
How could they do It?
Laugh and joke
What would you do if death were looking at you as It did his
body there on the hill?
Looking
BY THERMAN E. AMES, Jr.
Lookle here, lookle here, lookle there
See the faces as they stare.
Zooming around the air at my hair
You see a face, but it lacks the grace.
Now you take a queen and gee,
She’s a busy bee all over the place
Lookle here, lookle here, look-a-there.
Over in the middle stood kool dribble, dribble;
Mouth wide open profession to be everything from A-Z
A real frizzle.
But yet and still nobody knows where he lives or where he goes
Why as far as they know he might live outdoors.
But anytime you see his face, stand back for a brace.
Man you know he’s cold, cold, cold.
Lookle here, lookle here.
See the faces as they stare, the face of John, the face of
Sue,
But who knows, could l)e the face of you!
Stares, they know not nor care,
They just look here or over there.

A Tribute To A Great Mon:
Fafher Clyde Beotfy
BY G. McDowell
The time passed quickly and the day allowed
the night its way
Thus we and you had to part never to forget
what you had to us taught.
As we accepted the lonely dark we became the
bearers of a new art YOU
Comparable are you to the sea for just as
you are so calm and sirene so Is the sea
Just as you are kaleidoscopicly inclined
so be the sea
But all glory to you for being so uncomparable
to the sea for you are never so furiously
aroused that you reach out with a crushing
hand thus diminishing a life as does the
sea
You give the fruits of your life so un-
selHshly to all but not the sea
He fights out to keep not only the fruits
of life but even the unuseful self-destroying
lethal portions needed only for evil
Comparable are you to the sunklssed sky
For just as the sky adorns spring flowers
with the precious raindrops of love you
adorn all with the most radiant and
precious love and wisdom .YOUR LOVEandYOUR WISDOM.
In H/lemory Of My Mother
BY ETHEL BRUNSON
Only a year ago today that God called you to l est.
You certainly tried in every way to do your very t)est.
The road for you was rough and this you knew.
But you felt there was something you had to do.
On September 23, 1968 at eight thirty-five a.m.
Our Heavenly Father decided to let you join HIM.
Long before that day, I loved you!
And today, mother, 1 still do)
There is not a day that passes when I don’t say,
“God please help me to find my way.”
Mother, I am lost without you.
So many times 1 am so blue.
Nevertheless there will come a time when I will cross the
swelling tide.
There I will be sure to join you on the other side.
So my Dear Mother, sleep on, for you need your rest.
I need you as much as 1 miss you; but God always does what
is biest.
In Memory Of My Sister
BY ETHEL BRUNSON
A year ago today which was October 26, 1968,
You, my dear sister, entered into that Holy Gate!
Although you had to leave us, so unexpectedly,
God knew what was t)est for you, as well as for me.
The lovely smile you wore each day,
Not even time can erase
There will always l>e thoughts of you in the minds
of the dear loved ones that you have left liehind.
