Children and parents
all caught in sorrow
Angery siblings
forgetting tomorrow
But thru mom's faith
and loving design
All together
as we now find
The true colors of fate
darkening this day
And the lack of love
fake as we pray
But love won out
as we cried in hand
My father and i
together we stand
A sister and me
a warm, kind touch
she shared it with me
changing so much
dropping a wall
remembering our mom
crying all day
and reading from psalm
so it could be right
that mom is now
giving us a chance
to heal somehow
The powers that be
maybe foriegn to me
maybe mom had it rite
with this honesty
thank you mom
for lighting my way
and bringing me here
on your final day
i love you always
inspite of the pain
the hurt we had
was all in vien
What you were
a kind loving wife
A mother to give
for the rest of your life
For these two
the rewards were great
A beautiful life
gifting me this trait
My mother and father
reaching lifes end
entering heaven
to do it all again

Open your soul
and share your thoughts
communicate with others
tied up in knots
empty and dry
and be so fake
cook it all up
giving heartache
telling me this
we love you so
but we refuse to respond
and say hello
it just happens now
with the phone in your face
i'm to busy with it
for the human race
so as we sit with you
and wish you well
we will ignore your hurt
and put you in hell
because its not at all
about being humane
rather how selfish
as i go insane
the greed it shows
hurts many others
he would sell your soul
even your mothers
i have no more room
for that kind of hate
so if you express it
its really to late
for all of those
who are different than you
compassion and kindness
you never knew
the doctor who now
saves your life
with darken skin
under his knife
how dare you judge
and not understand
what he has been thru
and how he was banned
jesus shared love
all thru his life
perhaps you will see
in your afterlife
just how very much
hurt you gave
to others so different
you tried to enslave
they give you a warning
now be so afraid
of offering help
or foreign aide
but dont fear it here
right in your face
shooting that man
because of his race
my message for all
be humane
it might be you one day
experiencing pain

If you climb to the top
Mt. Lassen at nite
You can see right straight
To heaven so bright
I can see forever,
without a sound
A piece of heaven,
a treasure found
Alone on this mountain
God's work of art
He reached out to me,
touching my heart
So i ask God, please
How can this be
So close to heaven
Can I really see
In this mountain
the Secrets in me
One of his gifts
A mystery
I close my eyes
Feel the touch
God’s little finger
Loving me so much
A tear starts to fall
Upon my face
Touching my eyes
looking into space
I ask again
Why am I
So much emotion
whenever I cry
My eyes now open
I see it fast
A star that glows
shoots by so fast
Viewing the stars
Now fading away
As this mountain of love
Begins a new day
My greatest gift
this new sunrise
Over this mountain
& In your eyes
I was lonely and cold
continued to write
As the sun comes up
So sweet and bright
The night soon ends
I now safely find
This mountain of love
Is all on my mind
Its time to leave
Home to bed
Don’t ever forget
To me God said
Treasure these secrets
You learned up here
And this mountain of love
Will always be near

Ever changing
the world that we know
Always evolving
as we tune in the show
The kaleidoscope of life
right in your eyes
Tuning out those
who only tell lies
This circle of life
we now go thru
Stepping on stones
& other things we do
The turning scope
first offers you red
Bringing to life
the things in your head
The turning scope
orange as you see
Fear is the lock
your heart is the key
The turning scope
now turns to blue
& some more wonderful things
come out of you
The turning scope
now yellow so bright
Filling your heart
as day turns to night
The turning scope
suddenly turns black
Exposing your fears
all that you lack
Empty inside
it just isn’t fair
A turning scope
colors everywhere
With each offering yet
a different view
Of what’s always been
inside of you

I stumble thru insanity
Trying to be sane
So lost in this jungle
with nothing to gain
In this very cruel world
They keep taking from me
All of my thoughts
And honesty
They don’t ever ask
If doing is right
As they get away with hurt
we can’t even fight
They steal our freedom
Take it away
With each new law
They pass today
For letting money
And all that greed
The absolute power
A corrupted seed
Dropping these seeds
Watching them grow
Into a forest
with nothing to show
This is our state
the land of the free
Its just a simple cover
so we don’t really see
This powerful machine
now out of control
Wearing us down
taking its toll
Living this way
without a choice to make
But I walk on the stones
my life to take
As I wait for a time
A warm sunny day
Where I am free as a bird
in just this way
Sitting on a beach
in the warm white sand
I am finally free
in this far away land

I cried so hard
When my children arrived
Made me so glad
to be alive
Precious little feet
soon running around
loving them so much
without a sound
look into their eyes
what did I see
so simple and fun
just let them be
A child does wrong
teach them new
holding them close
loving them too
going to school
with innocence and fear
making new friends
year after year
suddenly they change
lifes little trick
caught up in worry
making us sick
some try drugs
drinking their way
to wrecking the car
what can you say
but blessed with good luck
after they fall
watch them get up
and stand real tall
making me so proud
to be their dad
as I remember all the fun
we’ve always had
so blessings such as this
hold nice and tight
cherish forever
with all of your might
soon their day will come
and without any fear
they see it too
oh so clear
the birth of their child
Gods own creation
Miracle of life
Filled with sensation
Coming full circle
Yet once again
Watching them go
and remembering when
I love both of you
With all my heart
As I have done always
Right from the start

Dreaming of this,
Dreaming of that
Does the world even care
where you’re at
Lost somewhere
a dreamer may find
The best part of life,
is in their mind
Dreaming of love
in a faraway land
He dreams of peace,
whenever he can
Snow in the mountains,
makes a nice dream
Watching it fall
or so it would seem
Dreaming of sports,
says the athlete
Just give me a chance,
let me compete
Some dream of money,
fortune and fame
Others dream of God,
that eternal flame
What about the girl
without eyesight
Dreaming of colors,
the world so bright
Then there are those
who dream of greed
They just don’t realize
what they need
A man knows,
he soon must die
Dreaming of better things,
he now wonders why
As God now takes him
to a better place
Entering those gates,
a smile on his face
A man who can’t walk,
does anyone care
Dreaming of life
without that chair
Now I just dream
making you smile
As I write my poems,
all the while
Your dreams can come true,
as you may find
That the best part of life
is in your mind

I stare at the mirror
reflecting in my mind
And I swear I’m perfect
until I look behind
And see them so wild
wondering if I’ll ever be
Able to quiet the voices
screaming inside of me
Creating this evil scar
so difficult to heal
A mark upon my soul
my ability to feel
But as I contemplate my fate
chase those demons down
Forgetting all I have
the love that’s all around
Suddenly I see it
as they speak their evil lies
The demons are clearing up
I see it in my eyes
A secret to be kind
can i now share with you
So you may one day find
the mirror was so true
Looking in the eyes
the one you stare at now
Showing the evil demons
swirling around somehow
Are just the devils only way
of cheating out of you
Happiness and love
what we hold to be so true
Now as you look into your eyes
and see your inner peace
Your happiness and love
the demons will finally cease
A smile upon your face
this poem now complete
All you see is the good
in everyone you meet

As the world now seems
to pass me by
Sadly, I can’t help
but wonder why
Another sunset
I’ll never see
Another night
I won’t be free
Another smile
without a face
Another day here
gone to waste
Another sleep
dreaming about tomorrow
Another morning
waking with sorrow
Another meal
surrounded by hate
Another part of me
owned by the state
Another fence
I can’t walk through
Another tear I’ve shed
just no clue
So one day God
touches my heart
Saying to me,
'make a new start'
Be grateful for my gifts
& have some fun
As I bestow my love
on everyone
Even though life has me
pinned to the wall
I’ve now learned to see
the wonder of it all
Another sunrise
to share with you
Another daybreak
from a different view
Another bedtime
with prayers to say
Another night
to dream this way
Another opportunity
to learn something new
Another chance
to write for you
Another meal
to feed myself
Another day
to better my health
Another day
my kids have a dad
Another way
for me to be glad
Another love song
for us to hear
Another day
to love you dear
Another feeling
for a new sensation
Another way
to see God's creation
I’ve now learned to be grateful
for what I have
And the natural way
I make others laugh
Gods little gift
to see life this way
Each morning I wake
is a brand new day
If I begin each morning
by reading this poem
Forever in my heart
I’ll always be home

A Magic Treasure chest
For each of you
Locked up tight
With secrets all true
A magic treasure chest
All polished & shined
Sprinkled with love
As you now find
The treasure you have
All locked inside
For mysteries of life
Both far and wide
You wake up one day
To find the key
That opens this box
Of mystery
So you stand over the box
And prepare to hold
Many secrets in life
The truth unfolds
As the key unlocks
The magic treasure chest
You now realize
You’ve been given a test
To reach out to others
And make them smile
Feeling so good
All the while
The chest now opens
So very slow
And lights up forever
Letting you know
That you have a purpose
So simple and free
To open your heart
And let others see
How to feel so good
As you learn to live
In this special way
With all that you give
Accepting of others
In a world so cruel
You’ve found this treasure
This precious jewel
You can plainly see
As you pass the test
That this precious jewel
Was your vision quest
