COMMUNITY

In loving memory of

James Lee Howard

2-15-49 – 8-21-13

A papaw’s touch,A daddy’s kiss,These things,We most greatly miss.

Your empty chair,Reminds us you’re no

longer there.Tears filled our eyes,As your soul filled the

skies.

Your hard work,Your silly smirk.A trusting face;Not other can replace.

These memories we will forever cherish,

Thoughts of you shall never perish.

We love & miss you,Eric, Brad, Joey, Carol,

& your grandchildren

Man and TeamBy R.C. Stewart

Thinking back into the pastThinking back to youthful

years;A fleeting time, beyond my

graspI see this picture very clear.

Sun is bringing noon so near.And at this hour, is friend and

foe;Heat waves dancing in the

distanceMan does wilt, fields do grow.

Long and tiresome is the tripMan and team plowing in the

fieldBefore to long, perhaps they

hopeA resting spell, the bell will

peal.

Shady oaks to them will beckon

Work rewards them dinner time;

Many hour still, till the sunsetAfter rest they will not mind.

As I stand now in this lotWhere mules once wallowed

in the dust;Barbwire fence, in need of

mendingWasting back to earth as

rust.

The old barn is lonely stand-ing

Leaning with the weathering ages;

Timbers sagging, some are missing

Pidgeons flown now, from the ledges.

The old barn is but a monu-ment

And to me a granite spiral;Man and team was here so

troubledAnd many times here, was

so tired.

Silent, still, and quiet the barnyard.

Harness, wagon, plow does lie;

Man and team no longer need them

They’ve plowed their row into the sky.
