Case of Too Much of a Little Bit

 

Haven’t you heard this before?

Did it make sense to you?

“Too much of a little bit”

I’d want to hear your view.

 

Is he rich or is he poor?

Is it less or is it more?

Tell me which if either it is:

Is it in or out the door?

 

Tell me, how can this be?

“Too much of a little bit”

Is my position good or bad?

Somewhere I smell a trick.

 

“Too much of a little bit”

Whenever I hear this phrase,

At first it sounds so full of sense

And after, I am amazed.

 

It’s worthwhile investigating

You can take the trip,

Tell me what you come up with…

“Too much of a little bit”.

Unconditional Love The Woman and The Man

To love and to cherish

And to each other be honest

In sickness and health

This shall be our promise

For better or worse

Whether we’re rich or poor

Even when old age comes

Each other we’ll adore

We will work together

Always hand in hand

And whatever must be done

Together we will plan

We don’t need a list

That’s to determine who

We’ll just put our heads together

And do what we must do

We’ll bare one another’s burdens

And share each other’s joys

We’ll rejoice together

Whether we have girls or boys

And even if the pantry’s empty

Our hearts will still be full

For at least we have each other

And that’s reliable

One another we will serve

We’ll do this by taking turns

And whenever one is challenged

Together we will learn

Togetherness will be our theme

At the centre will be God

And faithful we will be

At home and abroad

Notice there is no list

We have no list to sign

Only to remember the vows we made

And to them we are resigned
