HIGHWAY LOVE ON THE RUN
preservationman Mar 2015
A couple boarded a Greyhound bus for Louisville, Kentucky
Romance with inspiration in being lucky
The Greyhound bus left from the Big Apple you know
Passenger’s reclined in their seats
They were thinking in traveling that can’t be beat
A lovely woman was sitting right next too me
I have to find out her name you see
The female passenger’s name was Christina
What could be finder?
Christina was going to Louisville also
So this hound bus was travelling with the flow
It seemed the darkness had a heart shaped moon
However we will arrive in the next day in Louisville at noon
Love was definitely on that hound bus
Lips upon lips of romantic passengers being a couple of us
It was the hound bus that brought us together
As the music horns tell of this love tail
It has been the hound’s bus wheels in the trail
Go loving hound too where romance can be found
As we disembark, love has truly made its mark.

MYSTERY NO DOUBT
preservationman Feb 2018
While you are having lunch
Observe carefully as you munch
A test of mystery challenging your mind will take place
Who is the Murderer will be the trace
Suddenly the lights went out
Commotion expelling into shout
A man was murdered with a knife, and someone knows why
One by one the guest was analyzing clues
But was this just another sleuth?
Police were summoned immediately into the dining room
Is the Murderer still in the room?
It will be revealed soon
Unknowingly to the guest earlier there was an argument between Mr. George Smith the man murdered, and Mr. John Mussel
They were actually lovers
But was there an alibi?
Now it is for you to guess the reason why
You see Mr. Smith had just got an inheritance worth a fortune
He was not going to share with Mr. Mussel
So in a rage of jealousy, Mr. Mussel poked the knife into the heart of Mr. Smith
But there were bloodstains on the knife that wasn’t cleaned off
That was pure clear evidence
However, there were bloodstains on one of Mr. Mussel’s hands
When questioned, Mr. Mussels said he cut himself
But there weren’t any wounds found
It was established, Mr. Mussels was the murderer and he would be charged
Mystery solved
Thanks for being involved
Mystery becoming history
But watch your back, as you could be next in misery.

MEMORIAL DAY 2016 FAREWELL
preservationman May 2016
All kinds of military ship anchors have been pulled up
Naval ships slowly pulling away from New York Shores
Many New Yorkers in celebration of Memorial Day were able to board various naval ships and explore
An adventure for sure
But reality has become a mission
Conflict undone
Battles are still among
Ship engines push on
Be victorious will be long
All Soldiers say goodbye mate
Thank you for your support in being our date
We must depart to give freedom and maintain honor
The Flag hangs forward in giving us courage to push on
Thanks for all the salutes
As our naval vessel moves swiftly through the waves
Our direction is destiny and dignity
A war can come at any given moment
There will be destruction and lives loss
But together as troops, we make a force
No boundaries will ever separate
But ammunition in how they will relate
We are slowly drifting into open seas
New York City being a distance back
We will be ready at any given moment to attack
To the enemy, what do you think of that?
The seas leading us in the direction into troubled waters
The mission be prepared
As our naval ship bids farewell
We leave you with a quote to tell
“The naval uniform to all we protect, and our stance in how we project”.

Toy buses roamed throughout the house
They even scared a Cat and a Mouse
The toy buses maneuvered around every Christmas tree
It’s enthusiasm that involves you and me
Some toy buses were Red like a Cherry
But it is the thought in being Merry
Some of the toy buses were heavy, and others light as a feather
They were in different designs all put together
The toy buses that lit up
I was drinking Eggnog in my cup
We are Bus Collectors in every way
It doesn’t matter what day
Santa decided wearing his Red and White, I will let buses guide me tonight
Their headlights will lead the way
Unfortunately, the Reindeer will be at home to stay
So as I prepare for Christmas Day
Don’t lose the enthusiasm, and don’t let your buses go astray
Buses bring us Joy while we are at peace
Being festive at least
So as Christmas Eve leads into the night
Let it be Silent Night
Buses now and forever
Dream of buses and think on the design
Happy Holidays with Joy and Peace combined
The toy buses have all rolled out

LOGICALLY UNDERSTANDING
preservationman Apr 2016
The distinction between value and common sense
A commodity of defined thinking
The concept of separating concept with knowing how to adapt
So far, understanding has been established through Value,
Concept, Adapt and Defined Thinking
Value being intellect in what you perceive and dignity from within
It can be a negative or positive, but understanding in what is false or perhaps true
However, analytical thinking must come through
Concept and Adapt is to fulfill the understanding in connection to being logical or obvious
Common Sense is a decree that was created being one of the top senses, which is in all of us
Having that vital sense is a must
Understanding wouldn’t have any meaning without the formula with common sense combined
Well understanding says it all in the establishment of thinking and analyzing
Determining is for you to decide
It is that connection with your mind in what you actually see as a statement of point or a more precise theory
Understanding is about logically correct, possibilities, but must be a fact using common sense.

Enter the house if you dare
This is a warning in beware
A very poky house
The only movement is a mouse
Now that you turned the doorknob
You are the focus being the problem of no solve
As you walk through the house you hear moans, creaks and you feel the creeps
The house doors have been locked
You have become the ploy of the plot
You want to run
But you can’t because the house has you at the center among
Continue to walk through the house if your heart lets you
Suddenly an eerie hand reaches about
You then yell in a loud shout
It’s the spirit of the Ghost who owned the house
The moan was his wife who was his spouse
It’s the spirits being in unrest
As the lightening flashes all over the house
You are alone
Your whereabouts from others is totally unknown
You had to take the initiative to enter the house
You have become your own fright
Throughout the house there is no light
Venture on and move it along
Yet it won’t be long
You are being carefully watched
The house starts to shake
Now how much more can you take
Is it your nerves captivated by fate?
This is your final hour
You feel your stomach about to sour
The house has you completely trapped
You feel like you body is going to snap
The house is your tomb
It’s an awakening of the spirits being your doom.

Experience in knowing how to give young married couples advice
But 40 years anniversary is our celebration to get away
We are cruising to the island of Bermuda

VIEW FROM POETRY EARTH

Everyone’s heart transcended through space
A multitude of Poet’s ideas, so follow me being a trace
We have a race against time
But keep that Poetry momentum in thinking of mine
Words that can be disbursed throughout the universe
A Poetry read not needing any rehearse
Sentences have found their new birth
It all started on good old Earth
Eye on emotion
The microscope being clarity
Our spacecraft into many worlds unknown
Saturn promoting a Poet’s writings
The Moon giving applause
The stars being are the attended read
Now let’s proceed
Like I said prior, we have a race against time
Tomorrow’s poetry word is yesterday gaining inspiration
Poetry words continue, but galactic expressions expand throughout the galaxy
A Poet echoes words throughout, and planets hear and shout
A Poet is more than a person living on Earth
A Poet has supernatural powers
They write for hours
A Poet writes until perfections transforms and is won
A true Poet knows when to the ****** the finale being done
Now let’s head back to our Earth base home
We have taken poetry far and it will continue to roam
Time wasn’t wasted, but a Poet’s time in a galaxy spent.

HIGHWAYS AND STATES

It’s the highways leading to various interstate routes
Vacationer’s travelling being a tout
Going from state to state
Seeing history as they relate
Knowing directions being a piece of cake
Speed traps being more than a motorist can take
Speed limit being the key
Sign after sign in see
There is plenty of scenery along the way
Observe the high mountains I would say
No mechanical car troubles and that is definitely ok
Yet as we continue on our way
We have passed various cities in various states
There is plenty of granite and slate
Route upon route
The American Flag as we salute
Highways leading to everywhere
Each passing city all had their flair
But a word of caution in beware
Never pick up hitchhikers
It could be your death on the road
A circumstance that you won’t be able to control
Destination being the strive
The mission is to “ARRIVE ALIVE”.

He is not well known
But has talent and it shall be shown
But there is more to Henderson Blue
He knows how to act
Being able to project Henderson Blue doesn’t lack
It’s his words that transcend into an enterprise

My movement being the defense
It was years of suppression that was past tense
My voice needed to ring out like the timing of the clock
Through it all, given names as a mock
I shouted loud and my voice became more of a woodmen’s ax
My thoughts might have seemed perplexed
I wanted to make sure there was no neglect
I stand for what I feel
Civil Rights is definitely for real
My voice speaks when it is my signal to begin
My direct approach until the very end
My hands raised up being the powers in uniting the world
The plan is too bring all races together as a total swirl
Bring spirits of inspiration
Desires but exempting temptations
Turning words into more than just parables
Seeing what society has done wrong
This is something that had lasted for so long
However through it all, I taught myself too be strong
But the agenda is for all of us too get along
Yet with God’s help, a chapter that will fit the pages of life where everything belongs.

As I walk through the streets, it’s words that follow me
Observations that surround me give me inspiration

But let me continue to journey on
I am alert and fresh and out of my yond

It comes by ideas having illustration
Now that I had to mention
Communicating to the world is my chapter
Readership that comes after

So now you should be ready to write
Turn on your computer and think on the writing content

Perhaps writing will be a career you will want to pursue.

A HEART I THOUGHT I KNEW
preservationman Oct 2015
Eyes into mine
Yet kissing lips not sure
We dated for a while
But seemed love had no style
I wondered then and it continues even now
But my thoughts were when and how
We fell into love
But was it everything to think of?
Passion had no romance
The kiss showed no advance
A caution with no chance
Beauty I thought
Relationship in what I had sought
My heart beats but only for that longing moment
My nerves began to rattle
I felt I was going into battle
A time piece with signals to move on
You are not the one I long
My heart inserts find the true love to whom you belong.

As a kid going to Private School
We learned many things being numerous source tools
We would often take field trips to various places
Each had its own individual spaces
One particular event was the United Nations
It was known with communicating with and establishing that with the world
We journeyed in what makes the United Nations in what it is
We had a Tour Guide from India who told us about the UN
Then our tour really started to begin
We entered an auditorium behind a sturdy glass
It was made to muffle the sound of silence much like a mask
We were at a General Assembly with a headset and Interpreter who spoke
As a kid, we learned that the UN was a serious business and no joke
Well things started to heat up with strong intense verbal use
It was becoming more like personal country abuse
Countries upon countries telling each other off
You could say defining with no meaning
The Interpreter literally stopped translating
Because we were 12 years old, Security demanded that we take off the headsets immediately
Later we headed for our school bus and journeyed back to our destination
It’s amazing how things are done all with a little persuasion
The United Nations with its own special blend, and my story that has come to a complete end.

The powers simply want a servant too behave
But I have been praying to Heaven that one day I will be free
Yet it is Heaven that has truly inspired me
The name freedom being me in Jesus name
It is his understanding that keeps me tame
Oh freedom the whips that knocked me too the ground
My loud shouts of praise being my sound
Yet these shackles have me bound
Struggles I shall overcome
It’s salvation and everyone needs some
My power of faith is all I have left
Slavery is not a lifetime
It’s the Holy Spirit that carries me over
It’s Jesus that constantly providing the cover
Oh Freedom Oh Freedom
My years in being obedient in Jesus name
Deep in my heart I cannot blame
This was a testing faith moment
Believing that Jesus would be my freedom
The loosening of chains and what struggles won’t remain
I received wisdom coming from the kingdom
I have seen my struggles
It was more than a conflict
It was boundary from keeping me apart from my Lord
There was one mightier than I
There are no questions of why
As God and I see eye to eye
Oh Freedom for liberty for me to see
One day my rejoicing in Heaven with thee
Oh Freedom with the Holy Spirit
Salvation is the asking being God’s merit
Praise upon praise
Miracles upon miracles
I am the living example
I am a chosen child being ample
Oh Freedom that took awhile, but overcome being Jesus style.

That Greyhound bus 184 with a destination Chicago at 12:00 pm from New York City

I leave all my worries and care behind

As my Greyhound bus is swiftly moving over the highway
I am seeing highway signs that are saying, “Destined”, “Move Forward”, “Exploration”, “Don’t give into Defeat” and “Success is your Greyhound Bus”
However, my Greyhound bus was making a Rest stop at “Forever Young”
I am young at heart, and tomorrow a new chapter being a new beginning
I must remain focused in establishing more innings
Well my Greyhound bus pushed on and the night had finally arrived
It was off with the nightlight and a good night’s sleep
The Moon was shining bright and it seemed to bring me closer to my destination being ever so right

Right before my eyes I see a rearranging
Tomorrow has a shade of black
Woes in oh no
Foes moving in letting it be so
Life has moved into its own chapter

Twinkled stars with lights out
A sun in blood red in rage
The impact has the Earth on edge
Suicides that will collide
No inspiration nor stride
Where’s that tomorrow I was promised?
But we must be completely honest

Justification is only a word
An accuse in wanting to be heard
Tomorrow is steadily fading
The meltdown has begun
It’s the countdown that has won
I can no longer sustain
It’s a stain with resido
Tomorrow is not a new day
It passed me nonstop in every way

Tomorrow has gone to never appear
It’s total darkness that is near
Tomorrow ended on the spot

Fighting for racial boundaries

But there was no time to sit and just be polite
Medgar Evers being a man that saw Justice in not being right
Yet deep in Medgar Evers heart, he saw struggles in equality being a plight
Eyes of the world looked on
Opposition within negative felt equality didn’t belong
There was a sense in the air that separation needed to be in place
But Medgar Evers was determined it would be erased
But this rattled Medgar Evers mind
Why was hatred so sublime in racism being blocked like window blinds
Even after Medgar Evers was assassinated
Investigations upon investigations were never really complete
Justice in answered continued chapters was full of deceit
There were very questionable statements
But all kinds of thoughts that continued to go on
However no credible sources precise
But there was a break in the case
In between sentences being an absolute cover up waste
The novel shed lights into delights
Plights open with a new spotlight
Evidence that was definitely overlooked
Someone was adding the facts in aiding the crooks
Medgar Evers being a man that shouted out to the world
But it caught the attention of the media, as facts were looked into further with surprising results
But the aftermath of the novel made foes and righteous hearts swirl

BIG RED ON THE MANTLE
preservationman Jul 2015
I brought a ** Big Red Eagle Trailways bus
I had to add it to my collection being a must
My Big Red bus seemed out of place
Yet I would never ever replace
My bus collection seemed to say, “Big Red what are you doing here?”
For me Big Red was a welcomed opportunity
Needless to say, “Big Red felt right at home”
I was determined Big Red doesn’t need to roam
Big Red being a name of the past
But it is in my memory to last
Even thought Greyhound merged and is large with charge
Big Red has a history and to fellow bus enthusiast it is our marv
There is no problem that needs to be resolved
Just Big Red in highways gone by
Tears in not seeing Big Red in its cruising try
Big Red that everybody knew
But it was that name “Trailways” being its slew
The familiar Eagle that would soar the highway land sky
Destination being American towns and cities perhaps a Trailways Terminal near you
Big Red you achieved what America forgot
In my heart I will not
Thanks Big Red for the history and the ride
You are now in the hands of the Greyhound stride.

GOD’S PRESENCE WITHIN
preservationman Oct 2015
Many scripture passages have set the tones
Yet Isaiah 57:5, Acts 17:28, Psalm 139:7 and Exodus 33:14 are letting it be known
Jesus presence is felt everywhere
It is something beyond compare
You just have to understand from where
Jesus spirit can be felt from where anybody can be
This is something for the unbeliever to explore and see
Jesus moves all around us
Yet unbelievers often wonder what is all the fess
Blessing, praise, Holy Spirit and preaching’s
But what the unbeliever doesn’t understand, it is preaching being the many teachings
The unbeliever will convert to untrusting world
But won’t let Jesus move within being blessings that swirl
The unbeliever thinks sins is where it is at
But Jesus refers to the bible and we must look back
Sin is a way of death
It’s the desire to change
It’s the Holy Spirit that will rearrange
You must be “BORN AGAIN”
A new enriched beginning until the end
A new Christian from being an unbeliever living from when
The walk with Jesus with a journey that will begin
Jesus doesn’t want anyone to remain in sin
The unbeliever will be living short time on thin
Jesus is definitely the way
There are no further words that I need to say
My encouraging words to you, “God please have your own way”
Jesus automatic response being ok
I pray unto you
It is all praises that’s due.

TRUE LOVE

Hand in hand
Kiss to kiss
Eye to Eye
Enchanted romance
Fireworks action
Smile into joy laugh
Arm of embrace
Two golden hearts
Love on high
Love between
Interlude I mean
Love with a take off
No departure
Enduring arrival
Senses of love
The smell of fragrances of both
Love sounding like an oath
Committed and connected
Surge of promise
Dedicated with honor
Sophisticated flavor
Love on
Live on
Rock on
Love time
Genuine
Everlasting

SUITE 1901
preservationman Oct 2014
A moment that will arise in bed between the sheets
The time of passion with reaction that can’t be beat
A man picks up a woman who was sitting alone at the bar
He saw an opportunity and was going to take advantage and go far
The man slipped a drug in the woman’s drink
Before the woman knew it, she passed out and no time to think
The man carried the woman to his room
It was definitely going to be a moment being soon
The man later loosened up the woman’s clothes
He quickly made his advance
It was an opportunity being chance
Awoken from the on going ******
The woman’s heart pounding from the acceleration of must
Suddenly the woman urged the man to stop
Yet he remained focused by staying on top
The woman screamed for help
But her screams were only an echo being transparent
Yet more force into enforce
The bed started shaking hard again the wall
The noise could be heard all out in the hall
Other guest listened through the wall to explore
But something just wasn’t right
There was a quietness of no sound in sight
The Police were summoned immediately
They knocked on the door, but there was no answer for sure
The Police burse the door open, and found the woman unconscious
The man escaped through a window being obvious
The woman was taken to the hospital for examination
This was a case of ******* being the indication
Precaution, if you are a woman in a bar, don’t lose sight of your drink
The end result, you won’t have time to think nor wink
But the worse scenario, death
Take your drive wherever you move
Watch the man stalker as he is trying to be smooth
Listen and follow your instincts as your chapter could be a final conclude.

CALL ME PINSTRIPE
preservationman Feb 2016
A slim smooth man
Every step being his command
His fashion statement being high in demand
But his distinction being pinstripe
Pinstripe always dressed fresh like a spring ripe
Assortments had to be just right being black and white or white and red pinstripes
Pinstripe had all the hype
He got his name from dancing at many clubs
A woman’s remembrance to think of
The minute Pinstripe entered any room it was always greetings of what’s up
His shoes were of quality brand
Every inch of Pinstripe and everyone knew he was the man
Pinstripe’s hair was combed with his hair being shown
The tie became a creation and conversation piece of don’t hate just appreciate
Every woman married or single wanted to dance with Pinstripe
Each moving dance step was a woman’s date being met
Pinstripe had that certain swagger
From that first sip of wine
A cigarette just before he would dine
Pinstripe knew how to pass the time
He was the dress code, but never ate alone
It was his personality in having the woman melt like butter
Pinstripe was definitely like no other
He was the mainstream being a name
He was persuasive and had game
But who was going to blame?
Getting attention was the precision at direct aim
The bull’s eye being any woman that had a fishing rod and a net, however, it was Pinstripe being the catch of the day, and being the best bet.

FREEDOM RIDERS VIBE
preservationman Oct 2018
We are thought of as a tribe
But our destiny is written in the destination scribe
A Greyhound Bus led the Freedom Way
Racial discrimination and separation was not ok
There was a fight for change on that day
Freedom is a given right
They didn’t captivate being polite
They certainly didn’t just sit tight
Where there was darkness, there was a guiding light
Freedom Riders had a demand
It was going too be Justice throughout the land
It’s Equality for all being the caravan
The Freedom Riders voices were a definite shout
It’s was for the Nation’s Capitol to work Discrimination out
The mission didn’t revolve around the Black race, but togetherness for all races
Freedom Riders History was centered with a purpose having a trace
They were against all odds that couldn’t be erased
But was a task of face too face
Opposition wasn’t going to stop no matter what
It was the 1960 being a year having no defeat
The Freedom Riders were determined they weren’t going to retreat
They were going to speak out and be heard
They were animals flocking like a herd
Freedcm being the Freedom Riders first name
Then last name in a determined Victory
Then came the end of the story.

It has always been an open door and shut case
But wait and let’s not be haste
In order to even open the door, you must see opportunity
But the cognitive of unity
A collaboration of everything coming together
The process illustrating effort
Determination with attempting to open the door
The door is an explore
Once you open the door, there is assurance of sure
There is a connection of the open door and ****
It takes a destined desire to find out more
The fact is be confident with no ignore

So when you see an open door could possibly be your chance
Once again, it’s that opportunity that spells advance e
So open that door, and handle your business, and be inspired as the presenter on the floor.

I AM SALVATION
preservationman Feb 2016
You have journeyed but refused to find
My Heavenly Father is merciful and kind
Because I am Salvation, I am one you should know
Many testimonies have been told because of what I showed
My Showers are the flow
The Holy Spirit is a moment to let go
I am Salvation because of the miracles that have been performed
I am Salvation because I instilled Faith
I encourage when one grows weary and teary
I am the answer to any theory
I am called Salvation because I have another well known name
I am called Jesus and Jehovah
Yet Salvation is something no one should just skip over
I bring defined shelter and cover
Evil can’t stand me for who I am
I am Salvation who puts power in people in establishing can
Many hesitate and try to avoid
But Salvation us under the accordance of our Lord
Many unbelievers feel I am hard to seek
Just be humble and meek
Yes I have been Salvation all along
I want all to have a sense of feeling and a place where they belong
Who says one can’t?
It’s the praises in how you advance
I have a chosen few
But I am Salvation being your clue
One day you must make a choice
You must make a commitment being your voice
Salvation leaves you now to think
I am faster than any wink
Heaven will one day be your date
Refusal will be a torment fate
Seek Salvation before its too late

A sculpture  of love and embrace coming together
A masterpiece created like no other
The hand in hand in knowing that you are loved
The feeling of a flying dove
The idea in knowing where you belong
The essence that remains truly strong
Eye to Eye
The captivation of two being I
An effort being a try
The fine lines of the sculpture in detail
Feel my words in contrast and follow the trail
The eye of being absorbed
The instinct of design
The reward with a sip of some elegant wine
All this in craftsmanship in twine
Am embrace in bringing together
The romance hand
A couple feeling demand
A stilled likeness being a caravan.

A time where stagecoaches were the way to travel from town to town
Also were Death arrived in burial with grave digging shovel
Mountains high with formations
Town and dust road names providing information
Sheriffs ruled in various towns
Yet robbers would often gallop into towns and intimidate citizens, Rob Banks and train holdups
John Wayne was a Movie Star was known doing western movies
“A western town not built for thieves so get out of Dodge”
Dust would often kick up from all the horse riding and wind storms
Tumbleweed flying from side to side and in any direction
The west wouldn’t be the west without a mysterious Ghost Town
Shutters that hit houses in a windy phase
Sometimes the days present haze
Shoot outs between Sheriff and Villains
I feel the bullet ricocheted and I was shot
But then again, it could have been a plot
Howdy always went into rowdy
Having a drink at a saloon
Then the hour of noon
Who would be the last man standing?
The music and dancing Can Can girls
As only a Can Can Girl can
Adventure in the west Will Smith style
Fighting villains all during while
Well that is how the west was won and living among
Now get out to the west and create your own fun
I am off to the west and I am into the sunset.

America, we seen your fears
Yet when the sun rose, you did preserver
Enemies were turned away
This is Independence Day
Freedom rang on the signing of the Declaration
Bells sounded of the news being the indication
The city of Washington, DC rose high in the horizon
State after state in their applause
America’s history documentation being the cause
A taste of freedom becoming a clause
We salute in your years of existence
The constitution in being persistent
Our forefathers have fought a good fight
But we can’t sit back and take it light
America needs our continued concern
This is what makes our country great as our children continue to learn
American the beautiful
The liberty in many hearts honored
God Bless America
The mercy given in Heaven’s creed
One nation, inspiration to proceed
I see the reflections of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King
Their voices in America’s chant
The right to freedom in advance
Wars in dignity in defending in what’s right
Giving us foundation in plain sight
The story telling that is expelled
America has a story with a narration in tell
Yet through the wars
This was our American heritage that stands for all
The drums began to beat
This was America in establishing that the enemy is in defeat
America’s remembrance being mainly a retreat
Your daily message to us, “Stand Up and Salute”
As the nation sings “Be proud of who you are and it doesn’t matter from how far
America is more than being a Native American, but being proud from once we came and a true American being the aim
The unity of America’s strength
The unbroken chain
Ah the sunrise and how we see it will always remain.

Singing to captivate in explore
Wanting to share singing talent being a God given right

It was the alto singing while
Singing with joy and appeal
The whole experience was for real
Lockdown with a moment of a short out
This is about inspiration to come about
It doesn’t have to be a bout
Singing creativity is the activity
The craft to suing being no eternity

Songs upon endless Songs
A Woman who illustrated fame
I am talking about Aretha Franklin that’s her name
Her life spans the globe
Ms. Franklin’s singing talent was a blessing starting in Church
Praises and Glory would be from the congregation
But it was the Lord’s name in appreciation
Yet Ms. Franklin’s honor followed and blossomed through the roots of her entertainment life
It was her music full of establishment and devoted commitment
Ms. Franklin’s singing even caught the attention of the White House
She sang with Pride and Dignity at President Obama’s Inauguration
Ms. Franklin’s singing was pure inspiration
But too the world it was total appreciation
But Heaven called Ms. Aretha Franklin home
It was her moment from Earth to come to Heaven to roam
Ms. Franklin was marveled with everyone she came in contact with
But now she will be communicating with Moses, Joseph, Paul, Isaac, Jacob and David
Ms. Franklin will be walking with the Biblical Greats
Heaven welcomed and the gates were opened in appreciate
So Heaven called and Ms. Franklin entered in
A soulful life that will begin
This is not Goodbye, but until we meet again
Heaven maybe so far away, but Ms. Franklin will always be in our hearts, but one day, a personal home we will all stay
Ms. Franklin will state upon your arrival, “Do you remember me”
You won’t have to think, but you will certainly see
You have inspired the world
Our hearts just swirl
Until last time, sing on as you are Heaven’s own and for all of us to come together in embrace and while on Earth get along.

Stand at attention and salute
War veterans and current in toot
Eyes of sacrifice
Being a solider with no time to think twice
Washington, DC being the call in advice
Conrad’s who loss their lives
A trumpet sounds being the transcribe
Yet a moment of silence in making us non-veterans wise
A reflection of the front line
A revelation we must keep in mine
Being a solider more than a uniform
A nations call always on alarm
Bombs on targets below
Precision must be quick and not slow
Bull’s eye on various sights
It’s never time to be the enemies polite
Wars being a solider’s name
Territories over boundaries being a solider’s gain
Then there’s destruction and what remains
Strength being in numbers
No time to sit back and slumber
It was the mission at hand
The General who gives the command
Veteran’s Day with many words to say
“We honor you on the world’s behalf and it’s a memory we all want to last”.

Salvation Army caroler’s giving a big holiday shout
Christmas Tree’s soon to be decorated
A thought of a theme that will be created
The idea on shopper’s mine on what should they buy whose on their Christmas list
Something different but having just the right twist
A sweater might be nice
However I better think twice
I will see when I enter the store
There will be plenty of variety for me too explore
However I must watch how I use my credit card charge
The financial flow could end up large
These will be Christmas gifts to people I will give
However there’s more to Christmas than just gifts
It’s the baby Jesus being the thrift
The stars smile in the air
The feeling of space and surrounding atmosphere
In the distance, a Christmas tree lights coordinate in color from star top beginning bottom
What a way to start the holidays
This is the season to give
A time for friends and family
Remembering the birth of Jesus being an opportunity
The Christmas star with stories that come from a far
Happy Holidays to you and yours

He wrote from his heart like he needed comfort and advice
Eric had met Emily, his long loved romantic friend
Offspring of love that would often begin
It was a friendship at first
Then reversed into a loving outburst
Eric and Emily dated for 5 years
It was romance that seemed to advance
The Full Moon nights were the given chance
But suddenly the love fire had burned out
Emily stated to Eric she was moving on
Yet Eric felt they were getting along
Emily informed Eric, she met another Guy
Eric was full of questions and wanted to know why?
Emily felt Eric was boring and not romantic
Now Eric tried his best
But Emily has a right in her confess
Emily suggested that the other Guy was her true man
When the lights went out, he was at Emily’s demand
Well Eric wrote the way he felt
It was his story in how he dealt
He had nothing to prove
Yet it was his writing as Therapy in helping him soothe
Eric moved on as well
It took real courage in story in tell
Eric’s writing became a good catch
He attracted Susan who became his match
The one word that came back was LOVE
Later, it was writing together ever after.

The story of Santa Claus whose weight really did swole
It was the fact Santa gained too much weight
Thanks to Ms. Claus who made many he ate
Even the sleigh could barely take off
Well some the reindeer even had to cough
But on with our story
The very first house had a chimney, but guess who couldn’t fit through?
Yes you guessed it, good old St. Nick
Did you think a stick or a good kick?
Well St. Nick almost broke the chimney trying to come down
But with all the noise, it was a wonder that any kid was looking around
But being stuck, how was St. Nick going to make his rounds
Better yet, how was he going to be air ward bound?
Now everyone be silent and don’t make a sound
We don’t want to wake up any child
It’s Christmas Eve during while
Well this is what Santa gets for eating more than he can eat
Then to top it off with snacks between being a cheat
Santa made it down the chimney, but it wasn’t easy
It also wasn’t easy in going out by the chimney either
There you have it, a heavyweight story
But it surrounds Santa in all his glory

THE HOUND THAT GETS AROUND

Even though the hound is a dog
Every day across the country, the Greyhound bus knows how to cut through the fog
The Greyhound bus covering the entire United States map
I am dreaming traveling on Greyhound during my nap
It’s cities into towns
Destination ready anywhere bound
The hum of the Greyhound bus engine being the sound
Well, lean back and enjoy the ride
Watch as the oceans hit the shore tides
The Moving Picture Theater being our stride
A wave from a farmer as we pass
Highway to country road and a Greyhound bus stop that came fast
The Mountains that are standing tall
Echoes of travel in all
We are in the middle of nowhere and don’t need to stall
Storm and rain hits the bus windows
Yet the Greyhound bus pushes on regardless of how long
A friendly handshake from a fellow town citizen
It is all in good reason
A Greyhound bus thought to think about, “Stick with us, and you too will have no fuss”
No new kid on the road
That Greyhound bus stretch
The headlights of behold
We are king of the road, but that is what we are told
So that hound bus continues to get around
The Hound having a reason
It doesn’t matter in what season
The fact is, an Icon having the right given name
No need to tame
The Greyhound bus being the world’s aim
Across the country and back
It’s pretty hard to keep track
But all in all, what do you think of that?

Pages turning mystery into theory
A past in what happened in history

Watch as knowledge becomes the twine

Who says a library has nothing to offer?
Then you really haven’t read a book or magazine
Think of the library being a lean and clean cuisine.
