Some of the titles are "Some Crying Out for Water", "A Letter Home", "Jenny's Heart", "Angel Hands", "Closer To The General" (about General John Reynolds who died at Gettysburg), "Anywhere Close", "The Gift". Lines from "Anywhere Close" read "I'm wearing blue, my brother's in gray, He left when the conflict arose, I love the Union, he disagrees, We'll talk when he's anywhere close." Diane E.
