Colors of today
Grateful for my life
Colors changing
Can’t hold back
My feelings
To follow my heart

I’m not alone
Have you ever felt alone?
Have you ever felt your church
             Let you down?
You can’t unwrap a human
Without knowing who they are
When you wanted something so bad
                 It’s gone
The power of determination
Believe in your faith
Not anyone else
Some people try and belittle you
You have to walk away
You don’t need a church
To belong  
GOD our father is here for us
Stay true with him
It’s all you need
Have you ever worked so hard.?
And didn’t find answers
I believe in GOD
No one else

Believe in today
Each day
Each hour
Each min
Each decision

Reach high for your goal
Reach for a better day
Teach yourself something new

Believe, believe
Live for today
Love every minute
Love each day

I awake each morning
Thinking of yesterday
It it’s gone
I’m living for today
Loving everyday

Heartache from the past
Hurt my mind
I know I will find today

You can’t go back
No, no
You can go ahead

I have to believe in today
I have to believe in today
I have to believe
I need to find my own way

Each hour
Each moment of today
I have to believe
I need to find my own way
I will believe in today
Today, today

Flowers filled with love
Flowers open filled with love
Showered in rain
Sunshine most of days
It’s a sign to be thankful

Flower open petals begin to grow
Showered in rain
Sometimes there pain

When rain comes down
Pick a flower
Flowers open filled with love
Close your eyes
Forget the rain

Moving forward
Somewhere out there is happiness
Simplify your life
No one wants  to be homeless
Instead don’t use laziness
Move, move
Moving forward
Think of your friends
That are kind
You will find
Happiness
Move, move
Loveliness awaits
It’s not fate
Eagerness is honesty
Somewhere out there
Is happiness
Move, move
Don’t be cold hearted
Simplify your life
Move, move

Late afternoon
Summer on its way
Slumber afternoons
Number of days
Equals a lot to say

People
Love is complicated
But not overrated
It’s a statement
Love is hard to find
This is why we should
     Be kind
Words you can’t take back
Feelings  hurt so  bad
Everyone is sad
Love is hard to find
You can’t take back yesterday
You need  to find a way
To control your thoughts
Words you can’t take back
Love is hard to  find
I will be kind
You can’t take back yesterday
But words are enough
This is why you should be kind
You can’t take back yesterday
I tried, I tried
I’m turning the weight
On my mind to you
    Lord
I tried, I tried
I trust you
You will guide me
I know you won’t lie to me
I’m turning the weight
On my mind to you Lord

Finding a reason
Did you ever feel lost?
Do you believe in faith?
Everyone needs a reason
Blinded by confusion
Listen to your own heart
Be true, be true

Afternoon
Air is calm
Quiet days
Sunny rays
Near afternoon
There is no monsoon
Beware of solitude
Changes attitude

Goodbye
When I call you
I never forget  
To say goodbye
Even if I fall

I’ll always say
         Goodbye
It’s not forever
Only for the moment

When I call you
   I’d always say
        Goodbye

When you leave me
With sudden silence

When I call you
  I never would say
       Goodbye

Fall back
It’s that time of year
         To fall back
Colder nights
Darker evenings
Fall back
New year coming soon
Start now going forward,
All of the quietness
Leads to unanswered
           Questions
Days turn to weeks
Weeks turn to months
Months turn to years
Years turn to decades
Decades turn to forever
It all adds up to
        Never talking
Silence will never be answers
It’s like forever,

Don’t say tomorrow
If you do
Your only
waiting for another day
To put off
What matters
Don’t say tomorrow
Say today
Everyday, everyday
Don’t say maybe
If you do
Your only
Waiting for another day
Don’t say tomorrow

Halloween eve
It’s a dark, dark gloomy eve
Fog is heavy, silence it it
Hallow eve surrounds the town
Decorations are up everywhere
Do you believe in vampires?
Do you believe in ghosts?
Ghost come out anytime
Some are good
Some are bad
Believe, believe
Some are hiding in plain sight
It’s a dark, dark night
Happy Halloween
Sometimes love isn’t  enough
I guess it’s time to say goodbye
I know I tried
Sometimes  love isn’t enough
We may have been family
Sometimes  love isn’t enough
We all go our own ways
Someday  maybe love
Will be enough,
Something in the air
Weary thoughts
Set aside emotions
Piece together the past
Truth  untold
It leaves behind
Feelings of emptiness
Cure your heart
So life can start
Piece together the past
So your life can last
          A lifetime
I sense something in the air
The truth will become clear
I sense something in the air
This life is becoming clearer
I sense something in the air

Love is a flower
Love is like a boomerang
If it’s meant to be
It will come back
           If not
It will go far away
Love is like a flower
From beginning to end
Love is like a flower
A beautiful rain shower
Oct 2022 · 127
Rapid storm
Life feels like a rapid storm
Good times and bad
No one wants to be sad
When the storm is over
Everyone  is glad

Staring at the light
No more darkness
Gazing at the moon
All I ever wanted
Was to see you
No more darkness
Staring at the light
Everything is in
          Plain sight
Staring at the light
No more darkness

Don’t look back

Fallen leaves
Every time  a leaf falls
It’s a new day
Try and make a call
Every time a leaf changes
There are new answers
Falling leaves, falling leaves
I look out my window
               And see
Time for change
The world we live in
Not like years ago
Things have change
Falling leaves

Behind the window
Hiding behind the window
Maybe it’s to be in disguise
To shut the world out
Why do you want to hide?
Behind the window
You will be surprised
If you come out
Hiding behind a mask
Why not show your face?
You can’t erase memories
It’s too much to ask
Hiding behind the world
It’s not a bad place
You should show your face
I wish I got to know you
I wish you would find me
Will we ever see each other
In front of the window

10,000 reasons
You said 10,000 dollars not to marry me
My groom said he loved me
You said 10,000 dollars not to marry me
My groom said he loves me
That was so mean

I never seen it coming
Well he married his bride



She’s kind
She’s honest
It’s a love that’s hard to find
I’ll give you 10,000 reasons
It’s a love that’s hard to find
She is kind
10,000 reasons

Colors changing
Kind of vibrant hues
Drive down the road
Watch out for toads
They come out in the road
When warm air is around
Colors changing
Rearranging beauty

Loving each day
Sunshine, beautiful air
Quite neighborhood
Enjoying outdoors
Simple things matter
Don’t need all the chatter

Feelings of gratitude
Love yourself
Love your neighbors
Simple things matter
Loving each day
Don’t need all the chatter

Bamboo tree
Standing tall big and strong
I know I can count on you
It’s fall, it’s fall

You can be free
In the air
So crisp and clear
Bamboo tree
Be free, be free

Can anyone get along?
Why does it have to be this way
More and more I’m not sure why?
Why does it have to be this way?
You really don’t have anything to say
Can anyone get along?

Why oh why?
You really don’t have anything to say
Can anyone get along?
Why oh why?

Why does it have to be this way?
Why does it have to be this way?
Why does it have to be this way?

You really don’t have anything to say
I know I’m sincere
Even if your not here
Can anyone get along?
I’m writing this song
Why oh why?
You can’t turn back the clock
I’m going to sit by the dock
Wishing and missing everyone
Why do you act like you do?

Is is true
You don’t care if I’m near
I’m going to sit on the dock
You can’t turn back the clock

Trust your heart
We all fall down
In our lifetime
We all make mistakes
We need to forgive
          For past
To live whole again
Trust your heart
To begin new start
Listen for signs
To know
You have a great mind
Trust yourself
Trust again
Trust your heart
Oct 2022 · 106
If only you have told me
If you only have told me
Maybe I would see
Why would you silence me?
Is is because something
           Your hiding?

If only you have told me
Maybe I would understand
I wish we could be together
I will always love you

If only you have told me
Maybe I would understand
You mean so much
So many years
Gone by
Without each other
We should be by
Each other’s side
No matter what

If only you have told me
Maybe I’d  understand
I will always wish and miss
For us to be together

If only you have told me
Maybe I would see

Leaves are changing
Colorful days, sweet nights
Take time to pause
Leaves are changing

Leaves are turning a new page
You have to forget all the rage
Take time to pause

Leaves are changing
Leaves are changing
Leaves are changing

Here you are in a new day
It don’t matter which way
Forget what others say
Leaves are changing

Colorful days
Sweet, sweet nights
Colorful days

Watch the leaves
Changes are on the way
Forget what others say
Live for today

Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves
Leaves are turning

Watch the leaves turning
A new life is burning
Changes are on the way
Forget what others say
Leaves are changing,

Time to reflect
Fresh air, cool morning
Aroma of fresh cut grass
Sounds of slight wind
Clouds have appearance
             Of cotton
Later cars drive by
Lying on blanket
With my chihuahua
My buddy
She curious of everything
Smells the wooded trails
Fresh air
Quiet
Time to reflect,

Rose petal
I’ve watched you grow
Day after day
Aroma scented flower perfume
In the air subtle hint of fragrance
Growing tall with rose petals
I’m glad your growing in my garden
I love you  Rose,

I want to walk
I want to walk in your footsteps
I want to teach
How I want to live
I want to give my love to you
I want to walk in your footsteps
Lord thank you
Lord thank you

Clouds turn
Clouds mixed with light blue sky
When evening falls, the sky cries
Everything is awakened
By signs of nature
Birds chirping, owls screeching
Frogs calling,  cats meowing
Dogs howling
Clouds looking down at grassy land
Living things awake
This world everyone makes
Full of life
Clouds turn to sunshine
Sep 2022 · 219
Sun will shine
The sun will bring out
Brighter tomorrows
No more sorrow
No more pain
I’ve been through
So much rain
I never thought
People who I loved
Are silenced now
I never thought
That years and decades
Went by, emptiness
The sun will bring
Out laughter
Will bring out

New life of hope
New life of dreams
To live, to give to love,
Always and always
The sun will shine again

Falling leaves
Letting go of the past
Take a look at  the
      Falling leaves
Can you remember
When time went by so fast?

When the leaves
           Keep turning
Changes are on the way
It’s so hard to see
That some things
Are not meant to be
Falling leaves
Try and realize
To  know, to know
Letting go of the past
Some things
Are not meant to be
Falling leaves,

Stars seem so far
Early in the evening
I gaze up
It’s so amazing
Beautiful sky
Sparkling like a diamond
Stars seem so far

Did you ever see a flower?
Did you ever see a flower?
Watching it bloom
It has so much power
Nothing like a rain shower
Did you ever see the sun?
It shines bright
      Full of fun
Did you ever go to the beach
Reaching for sea shells?
Did you ever want to teach?
Did you ever watch the sunset?
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Did you ever take time
            To be yourself?
Did you wish people were different?
Did you miss the past?
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Keep living for today
And everyday
Did you ever see a flower
With so much power?
Did you ever

Today
Today is better than yesterday
Before I couldn’t see
Everyday taught me
              To be me
No matter what
Today is better
I can finally be me
All of these trials made me cry
No matter what
I will have high standards
Of respect and honesty
Today is better than yesterday
I can finally be me
I’ve gotta find the courage to say what’s going on
Each day, every mile
Everything we pass speeds by fast
I’ve got to find the courage to say what’s going on

If I only knew the truth
How long must I wait.?
Each day, each day

I’ve gotta find the courage to say what’s going on
I’ve gotta find the courage to say what’s going on
Each day, every mile
Each day, every mile

I know I have to keep going
I know, I know
If I only knew the truth

Every mile, every day
I’ve got to find the courage to say what’s on my mind

It’s time I know the truth
Where did you go?
Every day goes by fast

I got to find the courage
I got to find the courage
Why are you silent?
Why are you silent?

Every year speeds along
Only wish you were in it
It’s time I know the truth
I got to find the courage to see what’s going on,

Open The Door
Don’t be afraid
To see change
Don’t be shy
Open the door

Don’t you cry my friend
           It’s ok
If you don’t  know why
Open the door
  

Open the door
Open the door
Watch your life soar
Get off the floor

Who is on the other side?
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be shy
It’s ok
If you don’t know why?

It’s ok
If you don’t know why?

Open the door
Open the door

I Need you
Lord I need you
Each day I don’t know
          What to do
I’m trying  to open my eyes
Each day I’m praying to you
I praise your words
Lord I need you
It’s true I need you
I know you said
You wouldn’t let me down
I’ve seen all the signs
         From above
I know you love me
Lord I need you

You don’t need eyes
If you can hear
If you can taste
If you can feel
You don’t need eyes

It all is real
We all face pain
It hurts like
The falling rain
When you love someone
It’s so hard
It’s so sad


Don’t be mad
Know you really tried
Even all night you cried
You don’t need eyes
If you can hear
If you can taste
It’s not  a waste
You don’t need eyes


We all face pain
Like the falling rain

Warm Heart
Warm heart long days
Makes for southern ways
Cotton growing along the road
Fields seen for miles
Warm hot air
Summer is here
The weather is singing
          A song
Cotton growing along
Sitting on the front porch
Sipping ice cold tea
Warm heart, warm heart
Waiting to be with
        You and me
Warm heart

Love like no tomorrow
Wish like forever
Think like never ending
Love shouldn’t be sorrow
Hold out your hand
Take it before
        Everlasting
Wish like before
Live not in sadness
Wish like forever
Don’t  let it be madness
Give yourself a chance
Maybe you can dance
            In happiness
Love like no tomorrow

Don’t walk away
I want you to stay
Please don’t walk away?

Birds singing
Clouds rolling in birds singing sweetly
Listen to it’s beautiful melody
Nature at it’s best
Surrounded by trees filled with wildlife
Colors glisten of trees
Aroma fills the air of fresh cut grass
Early in the afternoon birds still harmonizing
Clouds moving slowly
Air is fresh with serenity
Birds singing softly
