IN YOUR TIME OF SUCH DESPAIR.
YOU SHOULD KNOW I REALLY
WHEN YOU THINK YOU CAN'T GO ON.
FROM DUSK TO DAWN.
I HAVE YOUR LOVED
THE ANGELS GATHERED
THEY PATCHED HER UP
~~WINGS~~
UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO
YOU'RE BEING GUARDED
SHE'LL SEND ANGELS
TO
FROM DUSK TO DAWN.
I HAVE YOUR LOVED
SHE'S SAFELY HOME.~~Jesus~~~

MY FATHERS’ SONGS
Out they came each Sunday Morning wearing their Sunday best,
Miz Molly, Brer Rabbit, Brother Squirrel and all the rest.
Exchanging greetings and wishing each other a good day,
Bringing the Hurley Woods alive with adventure their way.
Brer Rabbit and Miz Molly reigned as Crown Prince and Princess
Admired by animals, birds and bees and loved with no fences.
But the farmer’s garden, guarded by that mean old Rover,
led Brer Rabbit to take great risk making his way over.
War between these two created adventure in many ways.
Brer Rabbit always won the race and lived a few more days.
Each night these simple stories played out as I fell to sleep,
Good always won out, no ending, the characters mine to keep.
Other times, my father gave us music with a real beat,
On a juice harp, harmonica, or fiddle. it was all neat.
De Doop Da Doop Da, Diddy um ah Dooda was the start.
The
Seeing a farmer in a field the peddler stops to wait.
Waving at the farmer, he smiled broad and leaned on the gate.
“How far is it to
The farmer always replied in his true country armor;
“I don’t rightly know, but there’s a Big One just down the road.”
Jack of Diamonds, Pretty Red Wing, and more, all shared the load.
Each song told a story, I always wanted another.
I grew up loving these stories and songs of my Father.
My Prayer (Monotetra)
I meditate and hope you come
There's chaos and folks in pain numb
If you don't, what of us become
there's so much glum, there's so much glum.
I just know that you're very near
And with you I should show no fear
You're always there to dry my tears
You give me cheer, you give me cheer.
I have faith you hear my prayer
Help me each day in my affairs
Oh Lord, forgive me when I err
And show you care, and show you care.
Christ is our savior and God's son
He loves us like no one has done
And on the cross He always won
Kingdom begun, Kingdom begun.

To Love Someone (Sonnet)
To worship every strand of their hair
To see those eyes and pure skin, feel deep emotions stir within
To have, to hold, love and embrace, feel your respect will not be misplaced
To feel the joy you have with each other
To be as one, now you’re are lovers
To be loyal to each other, whatever life’s travails
To be as flowers in full bloom, as your love prevails
To see the rising sun on each beautiful day
To let Valentine and Cupid have their way
To allow them both to have their say
To live life to the full, come what may
To let romance blossom from now to ever after
To love now and always your lives filled with laughter
A Heart Full Of Love
A heart full of love and sometimes it was bruised
A few times it was even broken.....
If you can just turn and walk away and feel there's nothing
More you need to say and you do not feel a tearing in your heart.
If you can so easily forget about me and all the things
I tried to be, then I guess there was really no reason for you to stay.
It hurts to see you walk away for admit it or not, you were an
Important part of my life.
The time we shared will forever be a part of me
So even though I realize that it was never meant to be....still...it hurts
Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical
About love, but rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be
With the wrong person, how beautiful it will be when the
Right one comes along
Maybe you are not out there and I've been
Been waiting my life in vain
Maybe you are illusions and shadows only in my mind
I reach in the night for arms full of vaporous ghosts
That are not really there.......but just maybe...

SUMMER BLUSH
Lay me down and gently lead,
nestled deep in vibrant green...
as the poppies bend, then bleed,
o'er a love so chaste and clean.
Bright the sun, with envy sighs,
peeping through the trees so proud;
blushes soft, then turns his eyes,
hides his face behind a cloud.
Butterflies commence to dance,
kiss each poppy with such ease;
flushed with nectar's fleeting trance,
drift away on open breeze.
Songbirds beaming from the boughs,
sing in utter ecstacy;
view the seal of lover's vows,
sown in summer's finery.

CAN YOU PRAISE HIM WHEN THINGS GO WRONG?
It's Easy To Praise, When you get that raise,
Can you praise when things go wrong?
You just lost your car,Your job is real far,
How will you sing a Praise song?
You never get sick,You praise God so quick,
Can you praise when things go wrong?
A lump you just found, Don't like how that sound,
Instead of praise, there's a frown.
Your son made the squad, Give Glory to God,
Can you praise when things go wrong?
No food for the kids,Husband on the skids,
All you can ask "God, how long?"
Your bills are all paid, So praise is relayed,
Can you praise when things go wrong?
You just got laid off,You're down with the cough,
This time your Faith is not strong.
For God's Creation, Christ brought Salvation,
We can praise when things go wrong,
It just comes to pass, Problems never last
We know to whom we belong.
