I’m ninety-nine years old since yesterday
Wait’ing for the ship to come at any day
To take me to my new home in the sky
Up I’ll dream of you all with tears in my eye
Please grieve not for me but rem’mber and try
To think of me one day a year where I lie
Then forget me sleeping calm in the sod
Waiting impatiently to meet my God
In heaven I will remember and pray
For my beloved children every day
For my brothers, sisters and my mother
For my wife, home, family and my father
Children my will’s that you love each other
To be each a mother to the other

Never Scratch Nature to Bleed and React
We chariot to school to learn to read and write
Not to skin nature and rise to the sky
Not to work for fame by using dyn’mite
Pollute the world and by pollution die.
Folks awake and be aware of the reek
The death like hills of the chemical lees
Quick shut the flood gates of poison and seek
To stop being charioted to hades
Never scratch nature to bleed and react
For the falling blood is nothing but bane
‘Tis not a vision fancied but a fact
Since we’ve polluted the air and the main
Why not be a hand in glove with nature
To ‘ve a serene and a happy future
