If you're ever going to love me
Love me know, while I can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
Which from real affection flow
Love me now while I am living
Do not wait till I am gone
And then chisel it in marble... Warm
Love words on ice - cold stone.
If you've dear, sweet thoughts about
Me, why not whisper them to me.
Don;t you know 'twould make me happy
And glad as glad could be
If you wait till I am sleeping
Ne'er to waken here again.
There'll be walls of earth between us
And I couldn't hear you then.
So if you love me any,
If it's but a little bit,
Let me know it now while living,
I can own and treasure it.

But now if you hold your head up
And whisper out loud
Your words will come to me
Brought by angels in the clouds.
So don't look upon the ground
And shed tears for me
For I am with my father
In Heaven for all eternity.
And when the day draws near
And it's your turn to come home
I'll be waiting for you here
Standing by God's golden throne.

"God saw he was getting tired..."

Located at Friendship Cemetery in Springdale, AR.
Otis Lee Brewer
Aug 6, 1941 - June 2, 1991
God Saw He Was Getting Tired And A Cure Was Not To Be
So He Put His Arms Around Him And Whispered Come With Me
With Tearful Eyes God Watched Him Suffer
And Slowly Fade Away Although He Loved Him Dearly
He Did Not Let Him Stay
A Golden Heart Stopped Beating Hard Working Hands At Rest
God Only Wanted To Prove To Me He Only Takes The Best

Written By And Dedicated To My Son
Mabel Ann Brewer June 15, 1991

Interesting Old Building - Pyeatte Mill

I always like to take pictures of the old buildings we come across while out gravin.  And this one was kind of neat. It's what remains of the old Pyeatte Mill building located between Canehill and Clyde, AR.
I would have loved to get some pictures of the whole wheel but I wasn't willing to brave the thick weeds to get a picture.

This is what remains of the foundation and wheel. The wheel measures 36 feet in diameter. And is still in pretty good shape. This site was added to the Historical Registry in 1982.

You can see some much better photos of the mill at Mill Pictures.
