Straight and narrow.
Oops, i missed .

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!

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?

The Night with a ghost
On Halloween night, we waited till dark.
The old house was dark as could be with no lights.
As we walked to the steps We saw a flash and heard the deadly scream.
The door is open so slowly without our touch as the old piano started to play.
There was no one in sight there, but at the top of the stairs there they stood.
Three ghosts all in white what a site.
As the clock hit midnight, the party did begin.
A bang and a deadly shriek set the pace as we watched the head roll down the stairs.
We heard that screams as they became louder and the ax flew across the room.
Then the door it opens once more. There she stood all in blood and white with no head to be able to say hello.
We heard a HaPpy HallOween from the ghostly three.

Storms donot last.
The rain started to fall on the window sill.
Harder and harder as I sat still.
Thunder and lighting soon turn to wind.
As the night begins.
I look out the window once more.
There I saw snow on the ground.
Blowing and bitter cold.
The storm stopped and the night was quiet.
For storms don't last forever.

My wife asked me to mow the lawn.
My wife  asked me to wash the car.
She then tells me to take out the trash, As I walk the dog.
She says to me "please clean the grill".
After you, take the kids to school..
She says "don't forget to go to the bank" pick up the food for tonight.
My wife tells me. "Hurry or the food will burn".
I shout, I have NO TIME!

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.
.

Winter flower
The little flower grew a little each day.
As I watched it out my window.
So Pretty as it stood there all alone.
Fall rain kept it alive as it feeds on the drops.
When the snow started to fall it was so tall it was a pretty sight.
A snow flakes, falling Oh, lightly covering it in a blanket of white.
The days traveled so fast as I watch it grow.
That as the spring sun hit it just right.
Pretty pink lite up the snow.
The wind blows just right and you see more of the winter flower.

American Red.
For many years, we have struggled for our freedom.
Starting with England at Bunker Hill.
We have fought even with our own neighbors.
We have been in Two world wars.
Wars in korea,Japan and viet nam.
Today we continue to be fighting a war.
But the American red is the blood of every American that died for our freedom.
American red that stands for the love they gave us.
We put this red together with white and blue. And you have the American Flag.
Long may it wave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Two Cats
I once had two cats
They set out to chase rats.
They both were white as snow but would not know.
For they love the mud.
Each was unique in their way.
Ping and Pong were their names.
One had six toes and the other had seven.
They loved to go to bed by eleven.
When the coo clock would strike.
They would attempt to catch the bird.
As their last game at night.
Two Cats strange indeed in the funny way.

The rain falls.
The rainfall to the ground so softly.
All to make a puddle of water for me.
Rain tapped on the window to have me look
As it falls a little harder.
Coming down with a blast of thunder and a light show
So pretty as it lights the sky.
The rain is cold and turning now to snow.
Each flakes a rain drop it was.
All different shapes but you can't see.
As the snow covers the ground.
A blanket of white in the wind does make as the snow fall harder this day.
Trees are bare  these day of leaves as the white covers their branches.
The moon starts to shine and the snow trickles as it falls.
What a nice night to watch the rainfall.

If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother’s arms
and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her that I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there’s an ache within my heart
that will never go away

The horror show.
Here I sit down with a box of popcorn.
Waiting to for the movie to start.
I set so relax that I almost pass out.
Then I hear a scream of fright.
I stare at the screen to see a ****** body hanging from a tree.
Then the another shriek I did hear. As I saw a funny thing.
A bike on the roof with a head on the seat.
The movie played on with such a fright I hid my head to the end. Of the horror show.

If you could. Would you?
If you could change the world.
What you do?
Would you walk the sandy beaches and clean them once more.
Would you make the city streets? Like the pretty country roads
If you could would you walk with a stranger and call him a friend.
Would you end the wars and hate. And fills it with joy and love?
Would you stop all the killing of those that did no wrong.
If you could would you get on your knees and pray to god. To help you make these changes.
If you could> Would you?

A sweet flower
There is a flower that is growing
It has no stem but will grow big.
The center of this flower has the eyes for you.
No petals to hole the beauty in
Nevertheless, is the prettiest you ever seen.
You may have one or there maybe more
However, the flower is always there.
You tell the flower that it is pretty
But you really are saying, daughter,I love you.
Because you're my sweet flower and no one has one like you.

Old Tom is placed on the run.
Old Tom is on the run once more.
For Thanksgiving is so near.
He is looking for a place to conceal.Just to save his head.
Though the barn yard he does go.
To the chicken coop he does hide.
But only to find that he has no pride.
The horse stalls are a good place.But horse doesn't have six legs.
Towards the pond Tom must run but he can't swim like that swan
No place for Tom to hide. Off with his head the children yell.
As the farmer comes Tom Does hide under the chopping block
Is that place.
They all yelled where is Tom.
For now without Tom. It's Chicken for dinner Again!!!!

Thinking of you
Late at night I think of you.
I wonder did you think of me too.
We all miss, and wish you were here to finish not the rest of the years.
You put a smile on everyones face,you touch us in different ways.
You left us with out an explanation , and we wonder why it had to be you,
But I guess you tried and couldn't pull through.
You were always happy,never were down, so when we feel like giving up or quit trying to be strong, we think of you keep carrying on.
When you left us you did not go alone, becuz you took a part of everyone with you when you went on.
I will see you again one day but right now your only in my dreams, and when I think of you it brings back sweet memories.
Until that day comes when we meet again, I know your by my side watching after me in everything I do.

The pond
There is a pond at the end of the road.
no gate no fences just a little pond.
The grass is green but freshly cut.
You see people there fishing all day long.
The water is very clear as it can be.Just ready to swim in if could be.
The pond in real neatly takes care of.
Because it set near the center of town.

Somewhere tonight
Somewhere tonight they will sing from the heaven above.
Playing the music of the great for all to hear.
Good old Hank will sing your cheating heart he is so lonesome he could cry.
Patty Page she will take the stage with a song only she could sing.
While Bill Monroe gets ready to play with Conway and the boys.
They sing with joy and welcomes the newest
As little Jimmie Dickens belts out a song .
There is no rest for the best.
As somewhere tonight they all will sing.
As the sky fills with song may they all R.I.P.

Christmas Week.
Christmas week my dear, the shopping is done for everyone.
The days grow closer, just a few more weeks and football will be done.
Ham is about ready One more cold beer for the top and it will be ready.
4 more days and Santa will come.A bag full of toys just to please me.
I hope he is on a slim fast diet this year. I forgot to clear the chimney you see.
Cookies will be out for his milk will be there if the cow comes back.
A few more Hours left and things are going right.
I think I will go to bed right now.
Grandpa just yells in a loud voice."Where the HE--- is the Snow.Santa wouldn't be coming but in a Chevy.

How beautiful the sunset:
It's color filled the western sky.
Crimson, yellow , purple and orange.
Watched him change as words go by.
So quickly fade and disappear.
Our earthly lives once the past. And return of Christ is near.
The beauties that wait us in heaven and glory all about.
Far suppress that of the Sunset.
And we will ever be with those we love.

Let's
Let's hold hands in the park.
Let's hold hands in the dark.
Lets hold hands in the hall
Let's hold hands so we don't fall.
Let's kiss in the park.
Let's kiss in the dark.
Let's kiss in the hall
Let's kiss now and let's kiss then.
Let's say we will lets say I do.
Let's just say let's and let it be done.

A little boy and his went for a walk on Wednesday.
They came up on a big mountain that touch the sky.
The little boy said," we are going to climb up there today!"
                The dog barked.
They climbed for miles and miles. Up and up. Towards the sky
When they where almost to the top. He looked down to see the town.
As they climbed higher and higher the town became smaller and smaller.

When they got to the top. All they could see was clouds.
He could hear the birds below but no trees he could see.
He turn to his dog, a friend indeed, he asked with a look of need,"  Am
I near Heaven?"
   For just days ago his mother had died. and he wanted to be near..

Never more will be the wind.
Cherish you again.
Never more will be the rain .
Never more
Shall we find you bright
In the snow and wind.
The snow is melted,
The snow is gone.
And you are flown:
Like a bird out of hand,
Like a light out of our heart ,
You are gone
Never more.

A little boy and his mother were talking one day.
The little boy was having a great time.Asking all sorts of question.
When out of the blue the boy did ask.Why do you cry at night?
Is it because I am mad? See if it is because you are sad?
Is it because you miss Dad?
Oh, why do you cry?
Is it because you are cold or is it because I'm coming old?
Is it because you are lonely?
So mom why do you cry?

If it would have been a snake
There it is right in front of you.
If it was any larger, you would trip over it.
It's not that small open your eyes.
If it would have been a snake it would have bit you.
I know you can see them.
So please look there right there.
Now put them on there your glasses not mine.

Look up to the sky
Look up in the sky and what do you see?
Is it an airplane flying by me?
Look up to the sky what do you see?
Is it the sun shinning down on me?
Look up to the sky what do you see.
The moon is smiling down on you.
Look up to the sky what do you see.
The rain coming down on you and me.
Don't look now to the sky for birds are above.
And you don't know what will come down.

Breakfast with a ghost
Early on morning traveling down I-77
I saw a young soldier in uniform.
I stop to choose pick him up.
We talked a awhile he spoke of the war.
How he lost so many friends.
We parked in the dinner. I ran in to get something to eat.
When I return to the truck.He finished his story.
He said that he loved America. And the freedom it stands for.
How he fought for each American.
He then told me this was his exit.
So I stopped. He said thanks to my friend>
I said no thanks you my hero.
For fighting for me.
I drove off and I looked back and he was gone.
I thought I just had breakfast with a hero ghost.

Last Second shopping.
The stores are running out of things
People are still pushing to get the buys.

When you're gone
When you leave I won't know what to do.
I might miss you so bad that I'll want to die.
But on a second thought.
I just will throw a party and have some joy.
I can have a few friends in to stay.
The blond will stay if she wants.
No I won't miss you when you're gone.

Snow
The snow is falling so lightly on the ice cover pond.
Each flakes a different design as they make a puzzle blanket on the frozen pond.
The snow covers the foot prints of the children that once played in the yard.
Making snow angels that now disappear as the snow fall.
I listen to the wind as it whipped across my window.
The weather man on the old tv tells of a storm that will bring more snow into tomorrow.
As i look I see the birds trying to hide from the cold.
The snow begins to fall faster and a lot more to make it hard to see the pond.
A small deer stands next to a tree looking for a place to rest its tiny head.
As I think of the storm, I wonder how nice spring would be.
Only if it wasn't tomorrow.

Waiting
I stand here on the corner waiting for you.
I watch as the sky turns to blue.
I stand for an hour and there is no you.
Just my power building is waiting for you.
I've now waited for two hours.
As my shoes turn to glue
I'm waiting for you.
Mad as I can be I say where can you be.
Not here and not there.
So I stand waiting.
The dark does come and it's time I go
Why do I stand here waiting for you?
When I could have walked around the corner to home.

On a garbage dump , hanging on a Roman cross, his miserable life coming quickly to a painful end , no hope ! No hope ! And then he hears the voice of the only hope the world has - Jesus ,saying " today you will be with me in paradise !"
Never give up hope ! Call out to the Lord of Lords in the midst of your pain , your sorrow , your desire to throw in the towel and He will hear your voice and come to comfort , and to assure you that hope has a name - Jesus

Thanks from a mouse
The gray mouse lives under the stairs.
At night we can hear him go for the cheese
I watched on Thanksgiving night.
As he carried the cheese to please the others that gathered.
As they start to eat they all stopped as if to say like to express my thanks.
The moral of the story is all Gods creatures give Thanks for what they have.

I'm alone.
L'm alone sitting at my home. Nothing to do because I'm alone.
I walk the floor to the door.But I'm alone.
I don't hear a sound all quiet as can be. Because I'm alone.
I decide to get the door to see if I can hear a sound at all.
But I'm alone.
No lights are on now I can't even hear a cow.
Because I'm alone.
The woods are dark as they can be. I'm alone as can be.
Just as I turn to leave, I hear an owl say who.
So I'm not alone.

The American dream
He comes from God does not even know where.
Lobbying for change that he sees fit.
A dream of jobs while he robs.
He believes that this is a thrill as he kills.
He's only a fake and his name may be Jake
He can't change our ways that does make him sad.
But we make him mad because We Have The AMERICAN DREAM.

I tell no lie
You want me to look you in the eye.
You ask a question that I cannot lie.
You ask with a stronger voice.
I says the same  
For I tell no lie on this question.
You ask in a different way
But I tell you them same.
I tell no lie on this question.
You repeat the question over and over getting the same answer.
For I tell no lie.
Why can't you believe me? I tell no lie!!

Recipe for a poem.
A recipe for a poem
Paper or computer of any kind.
Pen or keyboard which ever you have.
A good thought of mind. Which may be blocked by some silly word you might forget.
A very little skill.Which will improve if the mind doesn't go blank.
A good closing if you needs to get out quick.
And don't say goodbye because you will write once more.
Now go to work and write.
O, Don't forgot to spell words right might help.

Fall is coming.
The leaves are falling out of the trees.
Football season is kicking off.
Schools are filling up.
As the children start their day.
Fall is coming once again
As the cooler weathers returns with a breeze.
The geese they fly to the south.
In a V shape in the wind.
Fall is coming in one month.

The simple things
It's the simple things in life that mean the most.
A simple smile , a kiss , a hug, holding hands and cuddling.
That's what makes the heart smile.
Being with friends and family simply sets the heart a blaze.With happiness.
Knowing you are loved by all of them.
That's the simple things in life that make the world turn today.

Red White And Blue
I see the white on this old flag of mine.
I see it as one nation, for all black white red and many more.
I refer to the red as blood lost by those that fought for are freedom and the rights of all.
Red the bodies of each american lost in every war.
I refer to the blue as tears for all that lost. But is also the pride that we have for each fellow american.
The stars 50 of them. For each state.But also for each person in those states.
This is the red white and blue. May it fly high and strong in all americans
Love it because it flies for you.

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!

Santa's day in court.
Santa enter the courtroom:
The judge calls him to the front.
The judge says your name please.
Santa says you should know me by now bobby.
Judge says it says here you live at the north pole.
Santa says yes with mrs santa. And all 600 helpers.
Judge says you got caught Breaking in to a house.
Santa says that this is my job to bring toys to young kids as well as gifts to the older.
Well how do   you plea santa And santa replys
I have been doing this for hundreds of years. I don't like they way they do things now
But times have changed and I'm failing as one of the most beloved person at christmas time.
They don't say merry christmas any more. They don't take the time to stand in line to tell me what they want.
Judge says well how do you plea?  Santa your plea for me because only you, god and I know what Christmas is about.

I find God.
In the path of darkness
I find only one friend
That can lead me to the light of day.
God, I find is empowered to take me places.
I give my hand heart and my soul.
He gives me the answers ,life and yes even death
In a peaceful place.
I know God is beside here and everywhere.
In his in my heart and I can feel his joy.
I can feel his sadness.
But as long as I found he will not let go!

Dream
You dream a dream
You search for that dream for a life request.
You ask yourself can that dream be real.
Then you search once more.
When you find that dream real or not.
It can make you happy or sad.
Just remembers it was a dream to start with.
So dream on and live your life to the fullest chasing those dreams.

Walk the road of life
As I walk the road of life
I find many road blocks.
Some are harder to make than others.
Life is at the cross roads when you don't know which way to go.
I see the final road is reached when you try to turn and can't find a road to take.
But if you take that final step. You did n't work hard enough to find a better road.
Choose the right road as there are many.
And life is too short to hunt for the right road.

One More day
If you could come one more day
You would make the world so happy.
With peace on earth and good will to all.
One day is not enough
People are fighting and shooting guns.
One more santa please.
No gift of toys or cell phones.
Only the gift of love will do.
One more day might bring me happiness.
For that day god would say thank you for your help.

Twice they cried.
As they stood and said I do.
They cried together for the first time.
They cried in joy as they wed.
To be together as long as they live.
They cried for the second time.
I do know.
As they lay in bed
One ready to die,one ready to live.
They cried as one left this world.
Twice they cried but not sadden
For they know they will be together again.
