Dead Resident

Dead Resident

When the newspapers start piling up by the door

And there's an odor that is too hard to ignore

Someone could have passed away

Possibly last week, or the other day

Who would know, if someone passed away

They could be in their apartment, in a state of decay

It might be someone that you know

That you haven't seen in a day or so

What happened in their place

For them not to have shown their face

Who would know what happened there

There must be someone who would care

Let's check in on Lou today

Maybe he has gone away

Mary might be home tonight

It's 10 PM and there's no light

It's hard to know where everyone might be

Some sort of “Buddy Check” might be the key

There will always be those that we don't know

Who they are, and where they go

I wonder how their last days were spent

When someone turns up as a Dead Resident

In an apartment place, there will always be people

passing away. It was their time to go, most likely.

But when you haven't seen anyone in awhile, it might

be a good idea to bring it to someone's attention. So

they can easily check on that person just to be sure

they are okay. Everybody needs someone to check on

them. I have two people I know who would be calling

everywhere to check on me if I wasn't seen in awhile.

Everyone should have someone checking on them. If

not, they need to have someone do that. A “Buddy Check”

is in need for those who don't have one.

A Will

A Will

Before your life ends, here are some things to know

Doing right by those left behind, before you go

Legally, get yourself a Will, do it right

Smile at the outcome, as you walk into the Light

So many relatives, that are left behind

Are battling for possessions, is what I find

They have bills, they shouldn't have at all

Many have found, they are up against a wall

Before you leave this world, get everything taken care of

Getting this done, is showing the greatest kind of love

No worries, it's so easy to just glide

You weren't taken, for a hair raising ride

“Oh dear, oh my, what will I do?”

“Should that go to Uncle Tim, or Cousin Sue?”

“If I give it to Tim, Sue will be mad”

“No matter what I do, it will turn out bad”

So many times, it leaves a family at war

Feuding among themselves, in an uproar

Where a disagreement shouldn't be

“That picture on his wall, should have gone to me!”

“Instead it went to his Nephew Jim”

“Why did it have to go to him?!”

Before someone passes, a Will should be made.

To make sure this person is assured everyone

will get what they have coming to them from

the deceased person. The better the legal form,

the better the hopes of everyone getting what

that person wanted everyone to have. Yet, it seems

even when it is planned good, things can go wrong.

Families are at war within, and it isn't good. Please

do your best to get everything planned right, so when

you pass, everything will fall into place perfectly.

Rockin' Delta County

Rockin' Delta County

We're Rockin' Delta County today

Grab a rock and paint it your way

Use your imagination, make a design

Or even words, to make that rock shine

Inspire others, with the words on each rock

Hide them, while you're out on a walk

When others find it, it'll make them smile

It will make you happy, for quite awhile

Find a good place to hide it, but not too hard

Maybe somewhere in someone's yard

On a post, on a desk, or in a tree

You just never know, where one will be

It might be anywhere, all you have to do is look

That painted rock, could be behind that Library book

You could see it in some store

Or right in front of your door

Painting and hiding rocks, is for all ages

When you take part, in all its stages

Whether you paint, hide, or find

These rocks make, for a happy mind

We're Rockin' Delta County today

Grab a rock, and pain it your way

These Painted rocks have hit Delta County, and

things are really Rockin' here. Painting, hiding,

and finding them is a fun thing that is bringing

many people into this activity. People of all ages

are finding rocks and smiling about it. It's making

people more aware of what they are seeing, and

of course finding much more than just rocks.

They're finding a smile that was hidden way too

long. Rock Delta County and smile!
