As the sun comes up over the horizon
A new beginning is offered to all mankind
The same beginning that has been offered for eon's

How you chose to use the day is like a vision
Being created one long sequence in moments of that time
Each step taken is part of the one created caption

One wrong step leads you down a path to  collision
Colliding with all that is in the world unkind
That can be like going to hell's jail, just a dungeon

Of the smoke being breathed by the owner the dragon
Or you can choose to walk the path in a straight line
Remembering everyone falls, but is not done

Because the path keeps going like it is being chosen
And guiding like this has been given and assigned
Picking up, shaking off,  and healing you often

Just remember that you are not the only one
No matter the path walked because you have chosen
And there is room for change, the path is not defined
So consider the things that define your action
And live as if this beginning is your last one
I just wrote this on a whim
The wind blows like God is walking by
The trees reach so high in the sky
As He gently runs His fingers through them

The green grass lays so fast and springs up again
Like His foot print was there then gone

The feeling He sent came and went
Along with the wind's movement
I want it to come back and never leave

The birds in the trees sing a Hallelujah melody
Full of praise and worship

God’s glory surrounding His love abounding
As the wind is gently howling
In one slow motion moment

God would invest without rest
This gift so freely given
I once met a little girl named Tank.
At five years of age,
Her old soul wasn't fake.
I asked her how are you today ma'am?
With big brown eyes
She peered up at the sky,
Then looked at me
Opened her mouth up wide and said
Better......

I thought to myself
Yesterday I wonder how she felt.
The next day came.
I asked her the same.
How are you today ma'am?
With big brown eyes
She peered up at the sky,
Then looked at me
Opened her mouth up wide and said
Better......

One more time
I'll give it a try
So the third day was here
My words very clear
How are you today ma'am?
With big brown eyes
She peered up at the sky,
Then looked at me
Opened her mouth up wide and said
Better......

All at once the mystery was revealed
I knew it was real.
What was said long ago
When poetry was first told,
Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies.....
This was published not to long ago in The Poetic Bond II
I want to be a great poet
Make you think and ask questions
Seek the answer to know it
Beautiful poems I want to write

Deep in your heart I want to touch
Bring what I see into your site
Can I get you to laugh and cry
Write my poetry on your mind

I want to write with conviction
To be able tell stories of rhyme
That makes me have to consider
How to write every line

With words new things I will try
Invoke an emotion inside
So you have an experience
Lay it all out on the line

To all the poets of the world
The masters of this very gift
I want to learn  to write from you
And give my poetry a lift

So Edger Allen Poe will teach
Shakespeare will educate too
Wordology I will seek
Till I am a master that's new
In a golden desert field  sparrows played.
The sun beamed down from heaven, there was little shade
While the ravens circled over keeping watch
The sparrows kept right on playing, they didn't stop
Along came some chipmunks to join in the game
Two squirrels in the distance wanted the same
So they came over and started a fun chase
Four brown bunnies set up to investigate
While the wind softly blowing carried the voice
Of the robins singing their song of choice
I sat there and watched in amazement
Thinking have I died and to heaven went
The Word
Logos in the Greek
Mental faculty
Something we speak

Not a set of rules
Or a law to be broken
It is the way you think
Or the words that are spoken

Some call him Jesus
He said He is truth
What you think or speak
Well I leave that up to you

Belief in the Word
Is a choice people make
Believe you think and spoke
What is not fake

I like the word Jesus
I believe the truth
It is so easy
I speak it too
I remember when people left their doors unlocked
Today that is how you get robbed
I remember when neighbors took care of all the children on the block
Now neighbors are too busy to get involved
I remember when children knew not to talk back
Today children accused parents of child abuse
I remember when Fathers made sure their children didn’t lack
Today fathers can't find a job
I remember when Mothers cooked meals from scratch
Now meals come ready made
I remember when Grandmothers would sew all the school clothes
Today Grandmothers party with their children
I remember when Grandfathers would take their grandchildren to the fishing hole
Today Grandfathers are hard to find
I remember when at school children pledge allegiance to the flag
Now pledge allegiance to the flag in public is a crime
Look at the trade that was made
I remember when
