I should be in love today
Fly me to the moon
Happy endings come my way
Good fortune coming too

Spring is
Springin'
Everywhere

Life in color fills the air

I should be in love today
If a certain guy
Could love me too

I could be in love with you


Now all I need is a musician guy...........Oh ..Bur-t.......

Want to be Happy?
Forgiveness makes freedom yours
And opens those doors

To truth, peace and love
a pathway you will treasure
Joy beyond measure

And all who know this
Know forgiveness comes from love
It can't be ignored

The truth yours at last
That love comes from Christ Jesus
All you do is ask

Of all the gems
the best of gifts
you'll ever give

A Diamond is a girls best friend

We were fish in the sea
sheep on the hill
when that dark, dreadful day came to pass.

There were some in their beds,
some out of their heads,
while the government sat on it's ***.

It came out of the  East
swift like an eagle
and covered the earth in a flash,

All things froze with a "Beep"
when the Net started falling
and out in the street you could hear people calling

"What just happened?" they wondered
while everyone pondered
Bill Gates wrung his hands in Dispair,

"Just what have I done,
now everything's gone
with the whole world as one
I was just having fun
now, my money's all gone
it's certainly not any fair!"
Boo Hoo

MY TURN........
                (to rant)

There was a time when Halloween
was lots of fun, no one was mean.
We didn't have to check our treats
and children safely crossed the streets.

And then the "seventies" arrived
with liberal concepts all contrived
to change our "Dull" society
bluring lines of propriety
bending rules of decency,
corruption, greed and call it "Free".

No freedom lies within these mores.
Suffering now, we've locked our doors.
We scan for weapons all  aboard
or come to school a frightened hoard.

Is this the "New Society" that once they blithely stated
would bring to us a world that's free of hatred, educated,

would bring us new insightfulness?
Devoid of all the frightfulness?

A better place for us to live?
A healthy place to raise our kids?

When mistress Miley gets on stage,
or "Beeber" gets arrested
are we really proud of them?
Well I'm not, I'm ashamed

There are hearts that are so tender, Lord

Hearts that are so rare
that every little grievance
causes pain that we can't bear

Oh, hear our cry,
dear Lord we pray

Give comfort and assurance

that though we cry
you are near by
to strengthen our endurance

Matthew 24:13
But he who endures shall be saved

Here they come now!

Giggling up the sidewalk

On their way to my front door.

Masses of costumed grimlins,
Tumbling
Pushing
Squirming
Screaming bundles of fun!

On their way to my front door.

Sticky faces,
Painted faces,
Horrid hairy masks that hide happy faces,
Upturned faces,

Grinning ear-to-ear in anticipation of some goody
Tossed into each sack,

On their way to my front door!

Like the Ocean's Tide
The roller-coaster ride of life
A bitter pill to swallow

when you know too much
When you feel too much
When you Love
.........too much
When you care too much,
you get hurt too much

Vast the Ocean, Deep and Dark
It's mysteries so beguiling
As if the fates have conspired
To a wailing call of the sirens

The evoking chants of the night's air
The eerie howls of the dark wolves
Like the ocean's unending seasons,
So is life's endless tussles

Boundless the ocean's depths
Far and wide
Boundless the ocean far and near....
And blue the waters, blue as tears.

Dear Lord please take our sins away
and chase the storm clouds from this day

Bless us with your strength to be
Examples of your love

Come blow away the deary leaves of Winter
          scattered everywhere

Wash the dust from all the dead and dying
          green of spring magnifying

Bathe the Earth in Rainbow
          colored hope

103 Degrees

The sun dropped fast behind the trees
And cooled the squirrels, the birds, the bees....
And me

And soon enough the shade where I, at peace, reside
An audience to nature's Summer Night
A performance, in perfect harmony
A witness to a magical delight
A concert that touchs where the soul abides

It's cold outside
and it's windy, Wyndee
The sun is obscured by the clouds.

Do you know that on Wednesday, Wyndee
the flowers will bloom
and the grass will grow
and what do you know...it's Spring outside again.

The Sun will be shining, Wyndee.
When you look out the door you'll be finding
That the birds are singing "Spring" outside
What a wonderful time of the year!

Love, Mom

Love Yourself

Not because nobody else is going to do it
but, because when someone else loves you,
it is so much easier to love yourself.

And when you love yourself,
it is so much easier to love others

And you are loved by me

Mom

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
Only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate;
Only Love can do that."

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. 1929 -1968

Dear Friend, received your letters, they were late
They came (in box) on Tuesday, with that date
Demands that I should read them instantly,
was not a polite thing to say to me.

In view of ways that did proceed from you,
I say goodbye, Adieu, Adieu, Adieu

I know that we can thank the Lord
For all the blessings we receive

For home and Family and Food,
the wonders we do not perceive

But may the Lord
Our dearest friend
Thank us for what we've given Him?

There's Love that makes the world go 'round
There's love that lasts forever

But, Love for you is so profound
                      I'll
                   Never
                   Leave
                      You
                     Ever!

I love my neighbor

I love myself


There is on shame in love


Then why is it so hard for some

To to just go on and say it

Awake! You lazy pen who gives me nothing..
You fingers parlyzed

Awake!  You stubborn thoughts who lie in puddles..
Refusing to cooperate when all I ask is such an easy task,

Give ear to all the world encompassing your gifted sight

Stoke the fire that burns wthin the ashes of your heart

Beat out a tune for all of those who live to write

If thou indeed derive thy light from Heaven
      Then, to the measure of that Heaven-born light,
      Shine, Poet! In thy place, and be content.....
                                                --William Wordsworth

Pearls of wisdom
from the heart
When you leave me
when we part

Like a bird my spirit flies
to be beside you, there it dies

a thousand deaths
in hell to burn
'til you return

It is stunningly amazing

What you can hear and see

while quietly you're seated

Beneath an old oak tree

Rain on the roof
Lightening in the sky

Little blossoms bow their heads
and dare to wonder why
