I was called a picture bride                 Honolulu, Alan Brennert

And I certainly was deceived

But after I left my husband

Success I had achieved

                                                                           

A job in New York awaited me          Ellis Island, Kate Kerrington

Leaving Ireland   for a while

I returned to a life of poverty

My husband made it all worthwhile

When he came home from the war    Things a brother knows, 

I knew he was depressed                             Dana Reinhardt

Spending all day in his room                                                                                               

Not wanting to get dressed

A miracle had happened                  Friendship Bread, Darien Gee

Because of friendship bread

My life now has some meaning

My days aren’t filled with dread

                                                                                                                                                

When we landed at Ellis Island      The forgotten garden, 

I was a child traveling alone                       Kate Morton

Carrying a little pink suitcase

It’s all that I did own

I moved to Foley Beach               On Foley Beach, Karen White

After my husband died

I bought a little book store

In a town with a lot to hide

After my husband left me              Deep down true, Juliette Fay

I needed to earn some money

Getting a job with my dentist

He soon became my honey

I found a dog that was injured      Finding Jack, Gareth Crocker

In Viet Nam during the war

I nursed him back to health

Jack, my beloved Labrador
