She feeds those chickens everyday And the rooster struts and crows As the steam rolls from the *** Plucking feathers for dinner she knows Your wife sho taste good to me Mister rooster chest puffs up Sitting at the dinner table smiling She fills up her drinking cup Yall chillen leave those chicks lone They might think their meal is a little pet She keeps them away from the chickens She is planning on wringing their neck Bow yo head and thank the Laud For this here chicken wez bout to eat The children all obey their mother To them the chicken is a real treat Sitting at the dinner table Smiles would shine from within Now the children tell all their children How everyday Granny fed them

Dinner Time
Roses are red, violets are purple And these roses stink so bad Even humming birds fly away The bees don't want the pollen Poor Roses forgot who they are Violets forgot their purpose And you walked all over them Now that they are gone you cry Missing the difference in them What made them special to you The stench of their inner perfume The one thing you hated the most They were there for you to walk on They chased away all the bees Just so you would not be afraid Would not let the humming birds Sip their nectar that was for you The redness an purple for you To get noticed by you only They were there for you alone Roses are red, violets are purple And these roses stink so bad Even humming birds fly away The bees don't want the pollen Roses know who they are for Violets live up to their purpose And you walked all over them

Roses
With everything that was taught throughout history Have we truly learned all our lessons Do we as one people come together And fight for our rights as human beings No matter race, religion, economic standing We have forgotten we are the same The intelligence the Creator gave It's like it has been taken away Can you see what is in front of you? How many hearts have to be broken? If we all just wake up and realize What is real was imbedded in mankind From the very beginning of time That in the face of one and others We are looking right in the mirror At what we are, have been, and can be Realizing what we have given and know is right The love we have toward each other Why not ask questions that are tougher? Where are moral, intellectual, and responsible beings? Who will take responsibility? Will you stand and say it was all me? So we all can say the me's have it And let all the votes be all counted Maybe the children of God can be known Creating a history not so cold Raising children who are humble and strong Who being all they were created to become Believing dignity is man's right And hard work is God's gift for man to thrive

Off in the distance, never being seen Loving you for so very long My love for you wasn't foreseen Hiding these feelings, that are so strong I Imagine your lips so close to mine Never getting notice in that way Thinking about you all the time It is almost like, I'm being betrayed AND Knowing how you feel, hurts me inside Never saying anything to you Rather be friends, than even try Afraid if I told, you I would lose Maybe you will see me, like I see you We would be close to each other Change your heart, fall in love with me too Take our friendship a little further OR Someday I will meet someone new All these feelings then would be gone Someone to love me, and be true And we will live as though we are one BUT For now, I got a secret I keep And if I tell, the price is too high So I will just keep being discrete Pretending our friendship isn't a lie

I Got A Secret I Keep
Sometimes I think about what Creation sees Like the beauty of children playing in mud streets There snow fakes, never fall where they run and play Playgrounds are unknown, and the roads are not paved The wisdom, in the face of the elderly Their eyes, where knowledge is carried gracefully Each line tells all of their life's untold stories Gray hairs are given as a crown of glory Or when ocean waves crash down on shorelines The majesty of them, given by design And the power in them, as they come rolling in Yet there is life that finds safety therein How from little tiny seedlings, big trees are grown tall And new life is given when they die and fall But birds, make a home in them as they grow up strong Raising a family as if they belong Or a couple getting married, all the love in their eyes The wedding ceremonies meaning that's implied How before everyone there they make their life decree To love each other throughout eternity So very much more than these things have come to be Even me, all these things, given the chance to see

What Creation Sees
I often sit and contemplate and think God in all his righteousness was right He gave this earth to mankind as a sigh Of his unmerited love from above Saying have rule over all then the great fall When will I ever feel set free Will you be the first to relive me Your approval is my master Chaining me with silent laughter Making forgiveness my greatest enemy While my guilt grows stronger in me There is refection of success All the while striving endlessly without any rest Knowing inside what could have been The realization of my sin I see myself true reflection in the mirror And I ask myself once again Today will I see myself win? Something I am proud to say I choose to no longer live that way It's the ultimate challenge that I had to face Finding a life of balance I fought hard to gain I learned to live a new way, finding the real me And I love my life today living life as free I still sit and contemplate and think How God in all his righteousness, yes, was right Giving earth to mankind as a sign Of his unconditional love from above Saying in the earth have rule over all Then took the time to forgive us for the fall

THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE
When children cry day and night Raising themselves all alone Not old enough to know what’s right Having to live life as if grown Mommy and daddy out of sight Hearts become as if made of stone How can you say these are bad kids, Living on what they were left with? It’s like addiction has control Not just the addict’s life style But the child pays a high price Their hearts raked over like coals Never getting life as a child Like they were born a sacrifice No time to think about goals Controlling anger is a trial Need someone else to take control And let this person be a child And fill all the hearts holes And walk with them a few miles

WHEN CHILDREN CRY
Dear Lord I am praying this special prayer to ask you If you would consider letting Mommie come there with you I know that Grandma and Grandpa are happy in heaven So is it ok if Mommie comes there and start living? Lord I know that I didn’t eat my peas yesterday And wouldn’t share my toys when I went out to play When I shouldn’t in school I talked to my friend I know these things have to end Lord I take all of the blame Will you Lord forgive me of these things? I promise I’ll do better next time But Mommie doesn’t have any crimes Last night she tucked me in bed Said good night then she kissed my forehead This morning she came and kiss me to wake me She had breakfast on the table so we could eat I helped her clean the table  of dishes She said I was a good helper and called me a little Misses She helped me get dressed  as she sang a song Then tickled me the time seemed long Then she put me in the car and took me to school She dropped me off then watching over her I gave that job to you They say that the man was drinking and driving his car I’m not mad at him deep in my heart I know it was  truly an accident Hurting my Mommie wasn’t what he meant I am just praying this special prayer to ask you If Mommie can come and be one of your angles too? Amen

A Childs Prayer
Being able to bring joy from pain Comes from the depths of the soul It is not an easy thing Something few people know It’s like with in tranquility And there is the one thing Of an inner sanctity That can bring joy from pain Something Mother's understand When giving a child life And all the birth pains at hand Then baby catches Mommy’s eye Fathers know it also With their hearts open wide As they watch their children grow Into adults that bring them pride

Joy from Pain
He was a real life genius And didn’t even know it With simple things he struggled He wouldn’t give up and quit They said he was ******** I think they were being mean To them he shouldn’t of listened Smartness he never conceived At school he always got bullied Laughed at, kicked, and beaten down Then he was really quiet Because he’d been pushed around His heart broken in the end He was sitting all alone Thinking how life was unkind No one to see falling tears shone His best friend found him hanging He put a rope around his neck His friend not understanding why He never said that's how he felt Wondering what he could have done Now his friend’s heart is hurting Telling about being bullied So began the job alerting Our differences are proper That is how we were created Just accept each other like we are Because bullying is time wasted
