My deck
My deck is a nice place.
You can see for miles away.
The trees on the mountain tops.
Leaves that is starting to change.
To the right the city, I do see.
What a pity to the green trees.
Cars and trucks the sound do pound their ears away.
To the left the woods I see. A deer standing as still as could be.
As if he belongs there at the edge.
Over the rail in front is the pool for a place to get real cool.
My deck the place I want to be. How about you?

There are heroes
There are a lot heroes out there.
Some are well known and some are not.
But the only hero that there should be is
God.  He empowers our needs,
Gives us our life as we see.
God is a hero because.He is with us.
No he doesn't get money for doing so or a march down main st.
But every day he does react to our prayers.
And when answers, he remains our hero.
So to have a hero yes I do GOD Is my Hero.

A bean
One day I found a bean it was a funny looking thing.
As i looked i seen it jumps across the floor.
I watch as it rolled out the door.
This funny looking bean.
I ran after it as it jumped down the steps
Not missing a single one.
As I followed it down the road I was joined by a crowd.
We watch as it jumped side to side and back and forth on the street.
Soon to the middle of town where a policeman said stop and watched the bean roll to a stop.
He called in a voice that's a Mexican jumping bean.

Loving you
Loving you for years is the only goal my heart can have.
Loving you is not race to determine who it is.
For only, you can be the one that I love.
Days, months, years still to come.
I will love just you.
Loving you today looks a lot like yesterday.
For no change in loving you will ever happen to me.

Night owl.
I sit on my pouch at night and hear the night owls hoot.
First one then another call back and forth
You can hear them far away.Another here and there.
Hoot hoot they cry just to see who answers them.
A coyote off in the far distance answers with a howl.
Hoot hoot at times I think they are talking to me.
The night owls up late like me.

The Cat Lady
There was a lady in my town that had so many cats
She didn't know their name.
You would see her with at least 10 every day.
She would set food out for the cats and a mess of cats would soon be there,
The lady was old and she liked dogs too.
But cats were her only life she lived for.
The house is gone now and every now and then you will see a cat come from the bushes
Where the House sat.
A kind old lady and a cats best friend.
mewow!!!

No more bullets
The guns have stopped.
The wars are over.
No more killing in the streets.
No more robbers
No more crime.
There are no more bullets for my gun.

When the angels come
When the angels come I will be waiting.
My time to reach the gates to heaven
I will not shed a tear for he will be waiting for me.
I will walk with those that left before me.
In the joy of heaven, the angels will come together to see me.
So don't cry. I will meet you when the angels come.
Then side by side we will walk the streets of heaven
And we will get our wings so we can be one of the angels that come for those who wait.

Rumor has it.
Rumor has it that people don't like me.
They say that I offended them.
That I stands for war and hate.
And the country I fly for is weak.
Well, rumor has it that I have been here for over 200 years.
That I flies on all buildings that will have me.
I lead every march down main street.
They sing a pretty song in my honor.
So rumor has it I will be here long after you're gone.
So if I offend you that much. Rumor has it you can leave anytime.
The plane has room and rumor has it you're not coming back.

Car Wars.
You have fords which some people afford
Chevy they abandoned the levy.
Dodge they play that with a ball in some halls.
Honda is for Rhonda as she tries she might cry.
Toyota is just that a toy that runs on pedal power.
This is the car war. Now we have
Cars that run on corn.
Battery cars that even the copper top will pop.
Electric cars that you plug in, but the cord are short.
Car Wars, I believe that we should buy a horse.

Never say goodbye.
Never say good bye to the one you love.
For a goodbye means you shall never return.
A sweet kiss and a later my love.Is just a reason to see you once more?
Never say good bye to a friend.
Friends are hard to find. But keeping them with a later my friend
Is never saying good bye!
Later my friends!!!!!

As the summer ends.
As the summer ends. The cold begins to flow in.
With the color of the leaves they really start to fall.
We know that it won't belong it will be winter.
Summer has ended and the pools are quite
As the geese begin to fly south.
Be it a snow flake I see?
No it's just a dream that summer will end.
Now happy, the sun is willing to set.
Now tomorrow the day may be not with the summer sun that never ends.

Daddy are you
Daddy are you a soldier?
Are you one of them, that marches down the main street?
Do you care a gun to shoot?
Will you go away to war?
Will it be too far?
I want to know if you will come home a hero.
Daddy are you one?

In the scream of the night
I wake in the mid of night
With the sounds of siren screaming through the night
I look out the window and didn't see nothing
But could begin to see the lights racing towards me.
I run to the door an open it
There next door was a blaze.
I heard the sounds of fright coming from the scream of night.
Young children crying for their dog who no one seen even in the door.
As they work on the blaze, a tiny sound came to my ears.
As I heard the bark and the scream of joy of the night.

The Hare and The Turtle
The hare and the turtle were in a race.
No one was there to set the pace,
The hare took the lead we did see.
With the turtle far behind.
We we all know the story
But what you don't know is how the hare won the race.
He won by a hare when driving a Ford.

A child's letter
Dear Lord,
  I'm writing you because I have some questions for you.
I want to know if my daddy is in heaven?
I want to know if you took him there to be with you in your army of angels.
I want to know if he is a hero there? Like he is here in the U.S.A.
If he is lets him stand among the best you have. For he is my hero also.
                            Love you Lord ,
                                   Johnny Smith
              PS Tell Daddy to stay strong I'm taken care of Mommy for him!

The greatest clown
The greatest clown would make you laugh.
He would sometimes make you cry.
He would tell you jokes.
But would tell no lies
But always At the end of the night
He would Say "goodnight and god bless"
Thank you Red.

He empowers the thought of your mind.
Giving you many strange thoughts
He controls your love.And your hate.
He empowers the night and the day
The stillness and the wind.
He empowers us all.To live or die.
The power lies within.

The old schoolhouse.
On the hill next to the creek
Sat the old school house.
Not used today because of the old bell.
The school was built with a large old bell you can really tell.
But every day it rings so loud that it can be heard for miles around.
In the school, there are no books,tables or desk to set.
A big crack in the old floor where he fell to his death.
The old school house is just there to stay.

There's no ghost.
The house sat on a hill
Old and raged it was.
Some say a ****** took place there.
I open the doors just so I could hear.
But no sounds were here for me.
The windows were divided and the blinds were gone.
The old ***** sat in the corner blood on its keys.
Then a loud noise I did hear, I jumped and turn and I thought I saw a ghost.
I ran for the stairs to look for. Nonetheless, it was behind me.
I saw a light in its eye than I knew it was not a ghost.
I looked to view and it was my dad. Time for bed there's no ghost.

The night
Deep into the night I do walk.
Just to hear the animals talk.
The barking of dogs and crying of cats.
Into the night I walk.
Over hills and pass  a church
Hear the wind blow, the bell so softly.
As i walk deep in to the woods i hear a owl
Hoot to see if I can hear.
The night grows darker as i walk
But now no one to talk  
The animals become quite

No honor given
American people honor many things.
We honor soldiers, fireman, policeman.
We honor football player, baseball players
But we don't honor the american Indians
The way we should.
The is running bear, Cochise, and many others.
This land was owned by them before our father took it from them.
No honor is given to them or even a thank you.

I can't get lost.
I never get lost.
I find out where I am at all times.
I know if i'm at the store
I even know if I'm upstairs.
I do not have lost.
If i'm at the corner and don't know which way to go
I just turn around and go back.
I don't get lost.I just get misplaced
Wonder if you know where you are? I'm right here.
.

If it wasn't for country music
If it did not belong to country music, there would be no music today.
The sounds of the good old country are what sad music.
the sounds of hank william, johnny cash, tex ritter, conway twitty.
Even elves sang country.
Rap would not manage without the upbeat sound of what is country.
The stars of today they love that old sound but some do not see.
Country music will never die.

The letter puzzle.
You find these days you have a puzzle if you need help.
You have the FBI, CIA, NSA, HHS, DEA.
You have DSS NAACP NBA NFL NBA NHL
If you don't have a book to see what each one stands for.
You're *******.

The Sky
(pink sky at night sailors delight pink sky in morning sailor take warning)
As the clouds bridge the sky, we wonder why they cover and pretty color.
A blue that shines with the sun so great. That no one would want to break.
Clouds may cover it on rainy day, but the blow will be always there. Changing to pink, just let us know
How the day will go.
Rainy or sunny that is the issue but with a blue sky we see the answer so wonderful day ahead.
The sky keeps the birds that fly.
The jets that scream though it're clouds.
The sky that holds a question at all.

It calls your name.
You are set by the widow still so quiet.
Listing to the wind blow as it hits the window.
You hear the sound so humble against the pane
As the wind calls your name.
As you sit on the pouch
The chimes do blow.
They play the music of your name
Recalls your name as it blows
Saying Some day you will hear
Good calls your name.

The midnight scream
The clock strikes 11 and all becomes quiet.
No sound can be heard, but a car so far away.
Tonight is chilly and you would be silly to be out.
Mist in the air to make away the smell of fish.
The clock hit 11:30 and you see a mouse running the cobble street.
No cats for a dog to bark at.
As you walk, you see the shops all closed down the night.
11:45 voices from the bar you can hear they are enjoying their beer.
The clatter of glass makes a little music to the ear.
As the midnight clock strikes 12.
A scream you hear that sets your bones to chill
Happy new years is the midnight scream.

What's happen?
As the world is at war in many places.
The earth is kicking up many streams.
Here in japan and the USA
Rain and mud with damaging winds.
Fires in the West as heat bears down.
We want to know what's happen?
As the world, changes it is bringing different things.
Each day a shot is fired And a storm may fall
We want to know what's happen?
Nobody knows!

Sleepy town
The town stores are all closed.
No shopping for today.
The town streets are bare
No movement at all.
The street lights are out
Why isn't there anyone about?
Is this a sleepy town?
No noise can i hear
The sound of birds is not even in the air.
The dust is whipped about
As the wind is about.
In this sleepy town.

North  vs South
The war between the states didn't end.
In the north, we say Hello, in the south it's howdy.
In the north, we say you can go down the road a little way.
In the south, it's down a road a piece.
In the north, it's potatoes. In the south, it's taters.
In the north, it's turn off the lights. In the south cut the lights off.
And the best one yet is.
In the north, It's goodbye see you later.
In the south it's see you all later and you all come back now you hear.

Down by the river.
Down by the river, there is a little boat.
It isn't much of a boat.
Red in paint and green of moss.
It sets here at the river side.
Next to the boat there is a bridge
Old by ragged in wood.
We play and swim
Down by the river.
The old fishing hole doesn't have many fish anymore.
The old hobo cooks
Down by the river.

Summer.
Summer has come with a bang.
Rain here and rain there.
Wind a blowing from the west while a storm in the south comes up the coast.
Then it's so hot you can fry an egg.
But no pancakes to go along.
Summer
People swimming in their pools or setting in the air.
Now we hear these summer days
Why can't we have winter today?

Out of the mouth of babies.
A three year old sets on a *****
He looks in after he's done.
And says, my **** looks like a hot dog!
He jumps off the table and cuts his head.
Blood was everywhere.
He looks around to see mom and says. The Champ is here!
He goes to bed and his mother says
Good night. He says it's not night time til you shut off the light.

On my shoulder
On my shoulder you do set
Like a king within his glory.
Next to my ear you do cheap
Wood good boy I hear so low.
As you get ready to fly away
To the next time you're on my shoulder

Under the stairs.
There is a person who lives under my stairs
He has gray hair and long hair on his face.
I know he takes that place under the stairs.
He wears a dark coat to come out to milk the goat.
Do not mean to imply a word, but his smile is a mile.
I see him everyday when he comes upstairs to stay.
He is so funny when he gives me money.
Tells me of candy for Tammy and I
My mom tells me to go under the stairs
To see if he is there.
I bump my head and I do not hear the roar from under the stairs.
Grandpa there is just laughing hard as he can.

Love
I love you
You love me
That's all the love there shall be.
I miss you
You miss me
That's the love that is intended to be.
Glove you now
You love me how
Being apart is not to be.
Love!

Drivers lessons  
My wife wanted to learn to drive.  
I found myself in fear not for my life but for my insurance rates.
My heart beat fast and all I could see was those pearly gates.
She climbs in and said let's go.
First she put the key in to start and turn it on (and grind the starter which will be other bills).
I told her to put in reverse that is what r stands for not race.
We back out of the spot nice and easy.
Then I tell her right turn so she turns left.
We go a few feet which is a feat. Then left I tell her she turns right.
i then tell her the other right , she almost hits a car that's parked.
All of sudden I see these lights a cop behind us ,great what next.
He gave us a ticket  which was no surprise.  
We haven't left the parking lot.
She failed the lesson with a fling.I'm just glad she doesn't want to fly!!

Gramma's house.
Gramma's is a large and brown.
With flowers all around.
Long green steps to the pouch.
With chairs three to spare.
As you enter you can smell
All the nice things she does have.
She bakes in her kitchen.
A sweet apple pie for you and I.
It's nice to go to Gramma's house.
She lives at the end of the lane.

From In the mind
Form in the mind.Comes very thoughts.
Thoughts of good and thoughts of bad.
Thoughts of power and thoughts of fools.
From the mind only you can tell the thoughts you may have next.
The Mind a wonderful thing
Or just something that we can play ball with.
No you can't read the mind because it changes all the time.
From in the mind ThoughS!!!!!!!!!

We Speak English.
No we do not need to press one for English please!
We speak English here.
Foreigners come to this land and can't speak a word of English.
Why do we need to press 1?

America
Some people have forgotten what America is.
The country was founded in 1776.
After many people fought for, for its freedom.
Freedom which we have today!
America has passed through many wars.
From the first gun shot to start our freedom
To the gun shots our men and women do today.
We have 50 states today that is 37 more than we began with.
We have united as a country for the freedom of our fathers and bothers, uncle and new sisters and mothers have fought for.
Today in this land of Ours we fight to ensure that freedom from within.
Freedom that only you and God know can't and will not be beaten by my one man.Or a thousand.
For this AMERICA  AND GOD BLESS IT AND OUR FREEDOM>

Then I had None
I had a tooth ache for three days.
I thought it was from where I ran in to that tree.
It hurt so much that I could not eat lunch.
So i went to the dentist
She looked at my teeth and she had to pull three
I said **** that tree.
She put me to sleep with a mouth full of cotton.
I didn't know my teeth were that rotten.
When I woke there she stood with a smile and all her teeth.
She looked down at me and she said I had to pull more than one.
I looked in the mirror and i did see what a surprise
I Had none!Then I had None
I had a tooth ache for three days.
I thought it was from where I ran in to that tree.
It hurt so much that I could not eat lunch.
So i went to the dentist
She looked at my teeth and she had to pull three
I said **** that tree.
She put me to sleep with a mouth full of cotton.
I didn't know my teeth were that rotten.
When I woke there she stood with a smile and all her teeth.
She looked down at me and she said I had to pull more than one.
I looked in the mirror and i did see what a surprise
I Had none!
She took them all and told me to wait in the hall.
I stood there not to thrilled when the nurse handed me the bill.
$2000.00 then i had none!!!!

Joe
Joe was a man in town that did pretty much of everything.
He was the sheriff, and the butcher, he hauls food to the neighbors.
Joe also was working on cars and trucks, pumped gas if you needed some.
Joe had an old tow truck, red in color to match the fire truck.
The tow truck was joes pride and joy.
He made money at the county fair.
He would be tow for miles around. But on race at the fair is where you would find old Joe
They say old Joe died the other day. Just days after he parked the old tow truck.
Joe the handy man.

Taken you back in time.
I have taken you back in time to main street in U.S.A.
Back to a swing on a hill or the old house at one end of town.
While we swim in the old water tower. I have in mind the flag and how it flies.
Back in time to the cabin in the woods or to the playgrounds where children do in play.
To a soldier saying hi to a little boy. While he races his horse to the west.
You look into the clouds and you hear the music of heaven playing with the greatest.
Poetry brings you back in time as well as the present. It is in a good writer that he can put it in words.
So the next time you read a poem asks your self,have I been there or will I go there?
Just remembers the weekend thrill and how on Saturday you may write your poem.

The old water tower.
The old water tower at the edge of town has many stories they do say.
Like how each year we climb the tower to see old Miss Jones naked as can be.
Or how we see old Tom the postman teases the dogs on goofy Street.
The water is high in the tower now for it rains today.
We strip off our close and dive right in the water just a chill.
We have the thrill of swimming all day.
In the old water tower at the edge of town.

The Swing
The old tree is at the top of the hill.
Has a old swing that hangs from its branch.
The swing doesn't see many children these days.
But every now and then you can hear them play.
The swing is mighty still on a claim day.
But if you look at the edge of night.
You might just see the swing movement.
As the wind blows the swing.

Cabin in the woods.
There is a cabin in the woods.
All are broken down from stormy weather.
Holes in the roof so birds can fly in and out.
No door to shut the air out.
Broken windows from days gone by and a few stones from those that know.
Floors all ***** and boards all torn.
Who own this cabin in the woods.
See if it is a hunter or a slave or maybe even old Abe.
The cabin in the woods may hide stories of Jessie James.
Or it could bring the tail of Betsy Ross making the flag for good old George.
All we know is this cabin sits here in the woods.

Main Street U.S.A.
Every town has a main street.
Some Short and some long.
But in this town on main street  
We once saw clowns.
They dance and ran around as they went up the main street.
We saw the bands coming from all around.
Play a Yankee doodle tune.
All the way downs our main street.
No more do we hears that band.
For in some towns, they have forgotten the good times on our main streets U.S.A.

I was born a flag red white and blue in color.
13 Stars And 13 strips.
I have been in many places. But still fly for only one nation.
I have seen many wars and been fired on and full of holes.
But I still fly high.
I fly on just about every building and many of home.  
I fly in some places only for the hero's that are dead.
I bow to no other and will never do.
I fly because I love you
