From A Sack Of
Scattered Seed

There once was a man named Bill,
and the Air Force was his life.
Faithful and true, was this man in blue,
but he had an unfaithful wife.

Two children were born into their fold,
their names were Chuck And Bill.
But his wife did stray, when he was away,
her lusts she tried to fill.


Then there was a woman named Lola,
a housewife just and true.
But her husband did roam, to another man's home,
to try out something new.


To them was born an only child,
and Timothy was his name.
They were happy until, the beans did spill,
and his deeds were brought to shame.


So Lola's husband and Bill's own wife,
were cheating together in sin.
They both got the boot, but none of the loot,
all with the stroke of a pen.


Then to their houses, divorce came swift,
and adultery was the charge.
There was no dispute, in the custody suit,
but hurt was still at large.


Then one day Bill, in a gallant move,
called Lola to ease her pain.
Beside her to stand, he extended his hand,
to shield her from the rain.


Lola was ready to take her Son,
and leave all her pain behind.
So Bill got a truck, filled with charm and luck,
as his heart was so inclined.


He helped Lola and Timothy move back home,
back to the hills they went.
But little was known, that the seeds were sown,
and an Angel of God was sent.


God took those pieces of broken hearts,
and healed them from above.
And their broken hearts, found brand new starts,
as he filled them both with love.


Now drawn together by God himself,
and love was in the air.
They were quickly married, and pasts were buried,
and their families joined with care.


Then Lola adopted both Chuck and Bill,
and Bill did Timothy Jon.
A family was made, and foundation was laid,
and all shattered hopes were gone.


Then two years after the wedding day,
a new branch hit their tree.
Cause from their love, came a precious dove,
a girl named Tina Marie.


Now the circle was full and filled with life,
from the matchmaker in the sky.
In their pain and despair, the Lord was there,
to join them from on high.


That bond is strong even to this day,
it is a special bond indeed.
Cause when God took control, was a family made whole,
from a sack of scattered seed.
