And when you BLESS
Be prayerful,
careful to be mindful
that God's presence is vital
if actions are to be blessful.

And when you bless
Listen,
just stopping and sitting
signals that you're willing
to be hearing
while your tongue stays stilling.

And when you bless
Eat,
yes feast over several courses,
invest is slower morsels,
be someone who pauses
to hear other people's stories.

And when you bless
Serve,
and not just in church,
but with imaginative verve
serve all of your neighbours
even those who are homeless.

And when you bless
Share,
yes dare to bare
a little of your story,
more of the messy history
that brought you here.

And, less you think
that you might have impressed,
be mindful that
we all put on our pants
one leg at a time
when we're each getting dressed, yes
we all equally need
God's ever forgiving kiss
so with no eye on who's looking
- just BLESS.

I may never dream
of anything but green
because I live between
what is supposed to be
and the true reality
of grey dusty skies
and those dark eyes

Life is a sad mellow guitar beat
Tune in your emotions
Or you’ll lose yourself in the song
I am the conductor
Who is trying
To live and not suffer

is there any difference
when seen from a distance
of a waves persistence
of hello and goodbye

if love was the matter
the wave might know better
between the sadness and laughter
of hello and goodbye

is there something missing
off in that distance
some meaning hidden
of hello and goodbye

another agenda
that waving will send ya
once you catch the wind of
hello and goodbye

She said, promote me.
I am your biggest cheerleader.

She said, love me.
And went further in stating I never find another like me.
This is the confidence within her.
Besides she knows me.

She said I must believe.
To succeed you must have confidence from within.
For that's where all creation begins?
Especially, if you are an artist.

She said to set goals.
And then shoot for the stars.
But also keep GOD within your heart.

I said Amen.
God gifted me a great woman.

I've disappeared into myself
And reality seems

You put the blame,
spoilt my name.
I was surrounded with the
people who hate,
but still, I had my fate
that you would
come
talk
love me
like you did before.
Therefore,
You never did.
