GOD’S HOLIDAY
preservationman Dec 2021
Rejuvenating life
Flowing waters
Refreshing thirst
Joy to the World
God’s honor our threshold
The stars tell of Jesus story
Our hearts being filled with glory
Hope behind the blessing
Guidance lesson
Cope having assurance
It comes from God’s influence
With every fallen snow
It’s God’s purity in the know
Kneeling in thanking for being the gift
You are the Almighty and no stiff
You are the most precious gift
Your inspiration makes the world strong
It’s fellowship in getting along
Yet, the world seems to relish on disbelief
The thought of good grief
Some people do believe at least
Many have testimonies
Miraculous in truth
Holiday Heaven’s reward
Soulful onward

LITTLE ROMEO
preservationman Dec 2021
He thinks he is DON WAND
A kid Romeo believing he is the man to look upon
He has a forbidden romance scorecard
Doesn’t understand true love
The Little Romeo thinks he is every Woman’s dream to think of
He breaks woman’s hearts
Never finishes what he starts
Yet when woman see Little Romeo, it becomes a depart
Little Romeo calls himself “Romance”
Yet he adds “Chance”
Little Romeo wants to advance
Fat Chance
It becomes for Little Romeo to love
Nothing really to think of
Little Romeo really doesn’t know
He needs someone to show
Little Romeo chants
Woman call it cheat
It sounds more like deceit
Woman trick Little Romeo at his own game
He becomes the woman’s prey to tame
Little Romeo’s mission is totally lame
Grow Up
Understand what love is
Know exactly what you want
Just let Chemistry take its course
Be yourself, and not pretend to be somebody else
Love will help you find your way
Little Romeo, that is the best advice, and you will be ok

FREEDOM RIDERS BUSWARD HO
preservationman Dec 2021
Civil Rights, Civil Rights and Civil Rights
Freedom with a fight
Fed up with plight
It was walk and talk
A battle that had to be fought
The message got out
All that happened moving about
Greyhound took the message across the nation
It became the Freedom Riders presentation
Opposition tried to stop
Name calling in mock
Freedom stands for all
It was no time to stall
Greyhound’s rolling wheels focused enroute
The company supported what the Freedom Riders were trying to do
It was a mission the Freedom Riders had to pursue
Civil Rights being a follow through
Freedom Riders knew they couldn’t tire
The struggle couldn’t be an expire
The multitude of voices in shout
The Freedom Riders stood ******* principles
They were the anecdote with a cure
Freedom simply needed to be secure
Multitude strong with pride
It was togetherness in the Freedom Riders stride
Civil Rights is still an issue today
The world must take a stand all the way
There can’t be a command with a demand
Justice is for throughout the land
Thank You Freedom Riders for the path
This is not the last
Greyhound thanks for the Civil Rights destination
As for the Freedom Riders, you are the face of the nation.

Immediately following came inspiration and I knew I was ok
Words were moving like a sparkling stream in come

Somehow purpose was a reason

I was no longer thinking fear
Transcend was can
There was no need thinking negativity in pretend
Even with the night darkness, I had light
Doubt was no more
I was finally thinking confident for sure

e gave the Reindeers a vacation
Santa’s ride will be his own Private Greyhound Bus Provocation
He will be travelling on Christmas Eve night
The Greyhound bus will be seen in sight
Santa wants to ride in style
Journeying refreshed and relaxed
It’s all about the kids and Santa can’t be perplexed
Now Santa will have to change his usual motto, he usually tells his Reindeers to Dash away
But since it is Greyhound, he will have to Jingle all and thanks for Santa being the call
Leave the Holidays to us and let Santa avoid the fuss
Santa is definitely travelling on the Greyhound bus
The Hound bus will be fast
A big difference from Santa’s sleigh
Why should Santa let the Reindeer steer?
The Greyhound bus would be the perfect preserver
Santa suggested, Greyhound is his surprise
Greyhound would help deliver the toys to every Girl and Boy
The Holiday Season is about Joy
I know the Reindeer would be upset
I am Santa and have no regret
Greyhound’s new Santa Slogan, “LEAVE AND LET US DRIVE”

Judge responds with over ruled
The Prosecutor asks Grandma, Did you hear any jingle or bells in warning?
Grandma abruptly responded with NO
The Prosecutor then responds with, Grandma, I hope you don’t mind me calling you that, “You said you had Egg Nog with Alcohol to keep warm
If you were drinking that meant you were probably unstable
Where were you going?
Grandma stated, I was going to the store to pick up food and Soda’s for the Family get together on Christmas
The Prosecutor reminded that there were no witnesses and just you in the circumstance
You wasn’t sober, have no idea into whether you were run over by Santa’s Reindeers or a car
The Hospital records indicate that you were in fact intoxicated
There is no evidence that proves Santa and his Reindeer are at fault
It is now Santa’s turn to question Grandma
Do you have any personal feelings against Santa?
Grandma abruptly suggested, NO
Your remarks seem to state, that you are the one in question
Intoxication
Santa stated, I don’t drink, and always remain sober at all times
The shoe now is on the other foot
The Judge asks the Jury to deliberate their verdict

While you waited for the play to start, you were uplifted with music from gospel greats
Your spirit was given a new revive
Embrace
The play brought the Cuisine of Joy
The healthy portion of praise
Collaboration of Laughter
A moment of rejoice
In the distance, a song of the gospel
Yet there was a Funeral of a family member which surrounded the play
The Sermon, you will be ok
A family having fellowship problems in coming together
Missing virtues and interpretations
You can’t serve the Devil and use God as your personal pleasure
God is Divine and one of a kind
Salvation is the empowerment in more the family needed
God’s requirement of Love
Yes, gospel songs giving the understanding
Family members learning from each other in how love and respect come together into one
God is not looking at the circumstance, but aligning with the individual heart
Tomorrow came on that day
Family secret that was kept years ago
Mystery family member appeared
Questions with no immediate answers
Family had too much pride
Yet discoveries where their lives derived
That moment within the play became Deep expressions and tearful emotions
The question can family move on to preserver?
But somewhere within the play’s score, Chicken and Biscuits will bring the family together in a big way
A Father and Grandfather had gone onto his reward, but left his legacy
The Song, “PRECIOUS LORD” with take my hand and lead me on

A Mother knew God wanted the family to come together and unite
The truth will set you free with the connection of Love for one another
The circumstance came as really understanding the new family member

You remember the story of Grandma got runover by Santa’s Reindeers
If you don’t know, let me fill you in
Grandma was walking down the street, and as the reindeers were flying and coming down for a landing, Grandma got run over by the Reindeers
But Grandma wasn’t fully alert before the incident
At that time, Grandma had Egg Nog with her added blend of joy
On Boy
She drank according to Grandma’s account in needing warmth from the Wintery winds during the Joyous Holiday Season
That was then
This is now
Grandma is all well now and Sober
But not necessarily in that order
Grandma visited a Lawyer in getting a case to sue Santa’s Reindeers
Now I don’t know if that will damper Santa’s preserver
Nonetheless, the Legal Papers have been served
Grandma wants Santa and his Reindeers to get what they deserve
But Grandma should have been sober
Santa offered Grandma his apology
But Grandma was thinking Mythology
No Court Date has been set
What impact will be the effect?
Does Grandma even have a case, and will it hold up in Court?
How will Santa respond?
We will have to wait and see
Patience is the only key

Thumbs up
Walking down the highway
Looking for an escape
This is something any Turkey would appreciate
Thumbing for a ride
Perhaps a Greyhound Bus could provide
The Hound could take any Turkey bound
The smell of freedom having a sound
Suddenly a Greyhound bus pulled to the side
Got on the bus and the Turkey took it in his stride
Traveling on the dog
At least I am not crossing a lake by log
I am on my way
Destination bound to anywhere
My life is focused in not being killed
I have living to fulfil
Yet more determined at will

That is how the Earth’s Environment went
Suddenly a plight hit the Earth
Transformation into a new species
Living and walking Turkey’s
This is what humans had become
Gobble here and there
Humans could no longer speak the English language
Perhaps it was years on Turkey’s being the honored table guest
Turkey’s warned Earth everywhere and would get their revenge
Through time
The Earth didn’t take the Turkey’s Serious
But now Earth is furious
However, Turkey’s always got the raw deal
Humans now are the element being the feel
Scientist have no idea in how to combat the Turkey reverse
Now it becomes an everlasting curse
Gobbling effect
Forever Turkey’s
No wonder anyhow

We give you no regret

I am surrounded by Doubt
Voices keep talking to me in my head that everything will be worked out
I am in shame
Perhaps, I should take full blame
I am a loser
Evil
If Death was to come, I wouldn’t be surprised
Destroy me, I have no need to rise
I have fallen, just leave me there
The Sun turned black
I have no reason to turn back
My heart is torn apart
Tears after Tears mounting
I am in desperation
I am between separation
Money doesn’t know me
Riches are only dreams
Speculation with Assumption
I never existed
Weathered fiery storms
Forget me always
Loss within my own ashes
Dust never cleared
Wonders with unanswered questions
My hand stretched to the Heavens, but I am not worthy
Alone and Despite
Everlasting is my finish

One wonders of their destiny in purpose
Thoughts start to surface

Thinking relishes serious
Sitting at the Bayou Bank, one’s life becomes clearer through depth
Will tomorrow be cloudy with no understanding?
One thinks hard, but must look beyond the past and into the current
The Future is uncertain that haven’t arrived

Getting through all the beware

Feeling at ease while taking in the refreshing breeze
Lying on a Florida beach

I won’t be caught by no ax
This Turkey is controlling the facts
Florida might be my permanent stay

The Holidays are steadily approaching
It’s all about Spent Spent and Spent
Shopping with no end
Credit Card Charges to the max
It’s a Financial Fact
No direct cash flow

Credit Cards can fill in the gap
With credit cards, there is a cap
Santa would have to give me some cash
I could add my own stash
That would be a perfect gift from Santa, catch my drift
Buying this one and that a gift
But some people act like a sift
Now who I am buying a gift for I hope they appreciate
Otherwise, I will depreciate
I am already picturing my statement in advance
It will be over spent at glance
After the Holidays come to a close
I will be Broke
The Holidays are certainly no joke
I will be in Debt Detail
No pass, but a Fail
This is my moment of truth
It has nothing to do with youth
Budget that isn’t
Money that went
There will be no question in what did buy
I won’t even try
Shop until you drop
That message needs to stop
My credit card could kick me out of my own house
Thank you God I don’t have a spouse
My declaration from my credit card could say, “You have no room here”
So much for preserver
This year, I will try to cut my finances down
Then again, maybe I won’t be found
Spend only a certain amount
I want to see money in pocket where I have something to count
Debt goes on
Let me organize my money in how to get along
That where I truly belong
If you see me on the homeless street, credit card won and I am in defeat

She wanted the spirit of the Lord’s hands to cover

LOVE CHRONICLE
preservationman Nov 2021
There is talk of love
But why doesn’t love last?
What is love without a kiss?
What is compassion without true feeling?
It’s more than just being intimate
But the question is, can you honestly commit?
I want love that sustains
Fire with desire that remains
I don’t want to hear love me today
Then love walks away
Love takes two hearts
A golden paradise of essence
The beauty in being called love birds
Landing on the runway of solid love
It comes later with everything else to think of
Treat me right
I don’t want love to become a plight
I want my mind and soul to feel like a soothing moving stream
Love having true meanings
Honest, true and fulfilling
That’s my kind of love
Knowing I am loved and sharing love being to my personal admirer
Eye to Eye
I want to be that Enterprise
Let’s go where love has never gone before
I want our love to be sure

Love me like never before
Love on and make me feel I belong

It all came from an open book
All I had to do was take a look
It was reading pages of chapters about my life from the start
Ok get ready this is my mark
Death wanted to attack, but subtract played its part
All the pages went on
I am still here moving along
I saw my life showing me honest and purpose
I am sure you found that obvious
I figured I would have drowned, but stayed close to the surface
Darkness turned into light
I went from weak to might
Struggles came, but overcame despite
There was plenty uncertainty
But it all formed reality
My directions were turnaround’s in forward
Too some people that might sound awkward
But I wasn’t guided by myself, it was a Superior King being somebody else
He’s Heaven’s King
But you can’t call him a thing
He’s Spiritual and has a powerful name
Christ and my praises will remain
The pages from Undoubted Terms wanted me to see my life that was full of assurance
Encouragement into inspiration surrounding influence
A book with all the answers
Questions I don’t need to ask
A book showing my Deliverance
It will forever be my reference
More than a book of words
I am still among the living herd.

The Writer’s thought being what shall the Writer write?
Should it be Adventure or a Thriller?
Perhaps a love story of romance
However, the Writer’s mind was focusing on Impulse
Create beyond paper what one would expect
The Writer decided to illustrate with present
It would be a journey where Star Trek travelled before
But with a different flair
It was Galaxy upon Galaxy
Galactic
Space Travel the way it was meant to be
Astronomy to see
Black Hole known through educating, but never really explored
Spaceship moving steadily with experimental views
A world far from yesterday could become tomorrow’s residence
Yet a feeling of Independence
But what adventures would be encountered
Aliens seen in human vision unseen
The connection of Earth and Space
Compulsions of planets surrounding our spaceship
Into the realms of space never seen
Yet it is all being captured through human eyes
We are now the New Enterprise
The understanding of realize
Photographic moments with moving space of objects on pause
Space storms observations with a cause
Yet maneuvers beyond control
Our grave could become Space Dust
But could the story ever be told?
This is our account alone being bold
How can our space exploration be explained?
Perhaps will think we are crazy being lamed
Would Earth even believe?
Scientific approaches front and center in advances
Would Planes actually collide?
Space of difference in uncertainty
Shooting stars fly exceedingly fast
Acceleration upon acceleration in speed
Proceed
A lot to capture
But all recorded in pictures
We just encountered being Star trek
Venture through our own minds of rhetoric
We went high beyond any Skyscraper on Earth could mutter
We journey back to Earth to tell our discovery
We were the new Star Trek Invader’s
Space beyond
Tomorrow having a meaning
Our need to space explore
Frontier
We did it without fear
Delight
It was an experience out of sight
But it is our secret, but don’t take it light.

HARMONICA BLUES
preservationman Nov 2021
Sitting and waiting playing my Harmonica at the Rivers edge
The moment is my privilege
The Bayou helping me get over my struggles
Feeling tense
Need the Harmonica to help me relax
I am all perplexed
Bring harmony together is what the Harmonica does best
Thinking on worries less
Looking ahead to Dawn
Being blessed feeling the yawn
Through the Dew of expectancy
The Night Stars are certain
The wonder and bright
The Harmonica sooth
Understanding that is smooth
In the eye of struggles
One can overcome
The spirit of hope
Simplicity on target
The Harmonica Bounce
Elevation of tune
Storming the feet
This is a time to refine and be triumphant
Defiance having a cause
The Harmonica set the record straight
Just take in and let appreciate set in
The Bayou is telling me pursue
Tell struggles goodbye
Continue living is what one should try
Living is about sustaining
The blessings remaining
Harmonica finale, you will never be in the valley long
Reached the zone
You stand alone
But the Harmonica let it be known
A Bayou moment being the minute
No limit

THE TAIL OF HERCULES
preservationman Nov 2021
A Man beyond mortal men of strength
He is guided by the Gods to go every length
Defending the weak and defeating the strong
Battles after Battles in controlling struggles in getting along
Powers from the Gods
Hercules possessing character
Tearing down barriers
The strength of his heart
His strength feats on foes
The essence of his muscles
Mass that is solid
He is the rock of intervention
Hercules is God’s creation
He stands on commitment and victory
That’s Hercules story
His name stands for glory
Hercules is also a woman’s threshold knowing he can and will
Destiny upon destiny that he must fulfill
Hercules thought
“Gods of might, I am the successor being the conqueror. I don’t take any destiny
Light. My mission is to overcome any plight. My strength comes from within along with forces that supply. My moment within any hour, and I can’t tire. I was to complete a mission and that is the Gods decision. Hercules stands for leadership, and I am my own provision”
Hercules name that spreads throughout history
Yet a following of achievement and establishment
Yesterday came and tomorrow is a new beginning
Hercules believed and accomplished
Foes often wondered in fear
That is because Hercules was near
Heritage perhaps
Long live Hercules
A name no one evil wants to reckon with
The Sun has risen and the ashes has cleared
The Gods are well pleased
Hercules has put comfort being at ease.

All Halloween decorations were carefully hung
This Halloween is going to be out done
Scare will turn into intense fright
It will be this very night
Total Darkness with no lights
Halloween costumes that will glow in the dark
Movement of spirits of all kinds will be making their mark
The sound of loud screams
This Halloween will have a theme
“SCREAMS WITH A BITE”
Dracula will quench his thirst
Spirits will appear in a big outburst
Music will be played by a Dramatic *****
The song, “EVERLASTING Is yourDEATH”
Echoes of Enter if you dare
A Halloween that will not be forgotten beyond compare
Surprises with unknown expectations
Sounds with moans and cracks
Touches from everywhere having a track
A Night the Stars and Moon don’t shine
Disturbances of all combined
Sweets being human flesh
A stroke of Midnight by a Loud bell ringing clock
The night will have truly begun
But will you be standing still among?
Halloween of Trick and Treat Delight
Fright and continuous fright
Switches with no lights
Halloween begins
Could it all be your end?
You won’t be able to pretend
Hercules arrives in what he can bend
Uncertainty throughout the night
It’s not a dream
Do you hear a running stream?
Is your heart in overdrive?
You can’t take anymore
You can’t take anymore
Your mind isn’t sure
Expect Halloween to be nothing but galore
This Halloween will even the score
Halloween now Scream
Happy Halloween has set the scene.

AMEN POSITION

The world seems to worship the GOP
But everlasting comes from the GOD
People relish money like a Church Collecting Plate
Yet won’t support GOD before it’s too late
People let wordly things as their possession
But GOD wants your true confession
It’s the lesson of the spoken word
GOD’S goodness and mercy in being heard
GOD being the hope
GOD’S surrounding the Faith
GOD’S Deliverance
Guidance is an influence
GOD’S look on Earth in tolerance
Occurrence after occurrence
But the world gives the GOP praise
GOD is overlooked in amaze
What will it take to get the world’s attention?
The GOP represents a party of Doubt
We are the image of the GOD who works things out
Honest and true
Yet, no following with a pursue
GOP doesn’t hold your tomorrow
GOD can get you through sorrow
He’s the key that unlocks any closed door
I can tell you that for sure
It’s the daily wonders we always see
But the world continues to let be
GOP being a wonder of its own
It’s nothing full blown
You never know what to expect
But GOD being the Almighty, the world rejects
Think GOD and GOP less
Let GOD prepare you for his test
The results will become confess.

A Scenicruiser Bus that was left in an abandoned field
The bus was from the past for real
It was stripped and decayed
The. Bus was starting to fade
But Halloween will soon arrive
A situation will occur with drive
This is no jive
It was told by a Bus pioneer that on this very day, the Scenicruiser will come alive and ride again
It was the Midnight hour when the Scenicruiser was given new life
The spirits rose from their graves and started the engine in the field of that Scenicruiser bus
Quiet became loud
It was the time for the Scenicruiser being allowed
Tires and interiors began take place
It was 7270 once again on its ride
A Night of moans and cries
It was the spirits encouraging the Scenicruiser to rise
The Scencruiser flash its headlights three times
It gave the signal it was ready to move
It maneuvered smooth
The Scenicruiser headed for the highway
It was dark with no lights
But tonight, the Scenicruiser will add to the fright
The presence of the past
But left to alone in the field with no further use
However, the Scenicruiser will prove it still has what it takes
It doesn’t matter being old and not out of date
It’s Halloween to prove with appreciate
Even the once owner was even surprised
His mind can’t focus realize
But the spirits of Souls are taking their place through the Scencruiser
Cars and trucks just can’t believe
But that doesn’t make the people feel relieved
The Scenicruiser is on its journey of ride
Don’t even find a place to hide
It’s Halloween trick or treat
The Scenicruiser just can’t be beat
Relax and take a seat
The Scenicruiser might just pass by
It’s a one more try
Scenicruiser ride into the night
Scare with uncertain
It’s the night of fright

LOWDOWN ON MY HOEDOWN
preservationman Oct 2021
Drink Up
I am a true Texan
Came from a small Texas Town
Travelling on a Stage Coach kicking up dust
I came to a town called “REFRESHING GULCH”
That town has the right name
But I am just being lame
Those folks drink Sun Up to Sundown
Now I don’t drink along those lines
But then again, have I truly lost my mind
However, all I can remember I was knocked out drunk
It happened in the Pleasure Saloon
I had arrived on that Stage Coach at noon
What a way to begin a journey
By the way, my name is Ernie
Somehow, I was so drunk, I was put into a hotel room in town
It was called “SETTLE YOURSELF”
I woke up and found myself in nothing but my underwear
Talk about an embarrassing moment
Barely holding steady
I have a hangover the size of Wyoming
There was a knock at the door, and it was the Sheriff Hummer, checking up on me
I asked the Sheriff, “How did I get into this room?”
He said he carried me
All I can remember is seeing the Can Can Girls as they showed dance in can
I just kept drinking as I could into when with no end
That’s where everything turned black
I don’t remember anything else other than that
However, I do remember a lady name JOSIE
Beautiful Gal
But she disappeared
Now I want a smoke
But all I am thinking of right now is GUNSMOKE
I am waiting for Marshall Dillion to step in
But all I want to do is for my drinking to come to an end
Now I can’t walk through Refreshing Gulch dressed like this
I am here in my underwear
It’s all my thought of beware
I am not going to let the truth be told
But I have already told the story so no need for me to put on hold
This is no time to be bold
So much for drinking
What was I thinking?
The Moon was high and all I was thinking I
This is what I get
Now it is all regret
Perhaps I should gamble and bet in the downstairs Saloon
The sun can be very high at moon
Just my luck, I could be in the last round up
It would become my mock
So much for Texas
As Texan’s say, “I Fixin to Leave”
What time is the next Stage Coach
So long folks
Please no jokes

My heart having no pleasure
Every thought with a doubt
Concentrating as I am moving about
Yet the pages have no imagination
It is just pages of here and there
The whole situation within beware
There’s no destination
No explanation
Stuck on page jam
Dilemma
When will I overcome at the surface?
Pause is ever so obvious
Pages upon pages full of rage
Perhaps it settles with my old age
The sentences don’t mount
Each letter is beyond count
I am totally dissatisfied
I am in reside
This is life in provide
It is become my stride
But all I want to do is hide
But for now, I must reflect and take everything in
Start all over with a new page of begin

This can’t be an end
I must transcend
Believe and I just accomplish
Fulfill until complete done
This is something to look upon

THE MILLWOOD MANSION
preservationman Oct 2021
The tail of a Millionaires death
Fortune well spent
Creed to no end
Suspicion all started from when
The Millionaires partner wanted the fortune for himself
He wasn’t thinking about anybody else
The partner wanted elegance in his life
Being his own adviser
The partner saw fashion with sequence
Power having control
But there was something never told
The Millionaires spirit vowed for revenge
The Millionaire haunted in stalk
Moans forming talk
Death will come to the partner
Everlasting will be his eternity
Condemnation forming the reality
The Millwood Mansion is miles from any city
Countryside with nothing but Mountain hills
Let’s pause for a moment
The night calls for a ****
The partner will pay being no documental will
The killing feast has begun
The partner is no longer among
He was killed by a gun
I am not saying a pun
The partner’s death complete
No more deceit
The end became the partner’s defeat.

PUMPKIN NIGHT

Through the ages of Pumpkin time
It all started within the Pumpkin patch
It went beyond the Halloween catch
Happenings involving a moonless night
Occurrence after another
Pumpkin’s from around the world were rising and turning into blood thirsty Zombies
They were stalking Human life
No time to explain in advice
I am too busy running for my life
The night is about survival
The Pumpkin’s are walking among us
They search and moan for a hearty meal
The pumpkin’s want to rejuvenate
This is the night of “Pumpkin Retreat”
Lock all your doors and keep your windows closed
It’s the Midnight hour
The pumpkins rejoice and not turn sour
In the eyes of pumpkin sight
Darkness prevails with no light
There is a reason for fright
The night is alive and the pumpkins shall strive
The pumpkins are coming for you, Good Night
Be careful, don’t turn off the light.

Words that turn cold into hot
At times the warm feeling whether you like it or not
Temperature rises
The after effects in surprises
No one knows what will come next
It leaves a feeling of being perplexed
Maybe even in the mirror doing a quick flex
Yet words that could cause a sweat
Spreading the word
A moment in needing to be heard
Word sick
A thought that would stick
Temperatures Elevate, but it is up to the fever words to illustrate

FLYING AIRCRAFT BUS

Welcome aboard and buckle up
Prepare for takeoff
Let me introduce myself, I am the Pilot of words
On this flight, you will learn about this flying bus
The company is well known and you will be surprised
Now it is time for me to emphasize
You heard of flying cars that turn into a plane
That’s the future, and moving forward will remain
But my story is about a flying bus
Yes, it surrounds the Greyhound bus
Imagine a stretched hound being the trademark on an actual plane
It is a known fact, but let me take you back
It was in 1996, the Greyhound Air started its Canadian Flight
Passengers left from the various Canadian Airports
Greyhound had taken to the friendly skies that became an enterprise
The Parent Company was Greyhound Canada
However, the airlines business was short lived, and ceased operations in 1997
If someone says when dogs learn to fly
Just emphasize, the Greyhound dog did it in a big way as it had wings, and took to the air
Don’t be surprised with strange responses that you might get
Maybe even wager with them in a bet
I am a witness that Greyhound did fly
It was an illusion
You can draw your own conclusion
The air was the Greyhound way
That’s the story told today
Enjoy your flight in every way.

MULBERRY SQUARE INN

Mulberry Square Inn nestled around Mountains, and a Night a romantic Moon
In fact, they call the Inn the Make Out Experience
But sounds more like a retreat in influence
However, the Mulberry Square Inn offering Guest amenities of quality service
But with romantic in the air that should be obvious
It is not exactly a resort, but you still get the relaxing pleasure
It’s a getaway for good measure
Picture Perfect
Mountain’s surround
Quite it and serene having no sound
But when Night comes, it’s no holding back
The Dazzle and Sizzle of music that the Mulberry Square Inn provides
It’s where entertainment resides
So Mulberry, you know the name from the Andy Griffith Show
Although
It goes beyond that
There is no connection and that is a fact
Think on Mulberry Square Inn being and giving more
This is something I wanted to explore
Mulberry Square Inn being a promise and providing being honest.

Remember you are an Adult
You control your tongue
Gossip beyond compare
No concrete explanation to share
The reaction in don’t care
No remorse
It’s just the tongue staying the course
Someone brought up some affair
It really doesn’t clear the air
It’s nobody’s business and why would one really care?
What really matters is why did the team lose the game?
All other gossip is totally insane
We are a team
All thoughts should be clean
We are part of sport
We should just support
There is nothing to sort
Everyone has their right to speak
It should be talk of nothing but deceit
If we loss the game that is considered defeat
We really need to concentrate on what went wrong
Finger point doesn’t belong
Let resolutions be inspiration in fact
If it is going to be otherwise, you need to back track
Words should have a positive flow
Only talk what you know
You can have your thoughts being an encouraging voice
That is your choice
Let your words inspire
Just let your tongue tire
But don’t let your time just expire
Goodness and face should function desire.

Finding who I am
What one is supposed to conquer?
The pain for understanding
Separating one’s self from the environment of hate
Life teachings through fate
Liberty the first step
Embarking on a journey truly my own
Eyes to see
Ears to hear
But throughout having no fear
Listen to me and believe
Release the tension and feel relieved
The world started from Heaven
Creations of color shades years ago
I am who I am
My principles are my thinking
I stand on fact
That is how I keep track
I am welcomed as a person in Heaven’s eyes
Yet to the world it might be a surprise
My name is associated with the skies
This is how I am wise
Intrigue to Lead
But never let be misled
It’s determination to proceed
Long to be free
Color is only the beauty within
The assortments of contrast
I want to walk in peace
Feel at ease
Live Harmony
Have joy like a symphony
My name is written among the skies
This is what makes me unified in wise
My understanding is no surprise
It’s Freedom where one must realize
