Come and sing to me
along the path of silver
and gold, with wings
out stretched and eyes
so blue..

Hold me tight among
the savage beasts, while
drums play there notes
around the world
of restlessness.

Sing to me and stay
awhile, and show me
how to say a prayer
for I have forgotten
how.

Come and stand next
to me my love, show
me that love really
shows it's light.

Give to me your better
half, I have given you
myself of understanding
all I have to give you, is the
brightness of my smile
and light of God's holy
grace.

God is Good.

Determination made it happen
so right, happiness rules
over sadness, just smiles
to replace those frowns..

Peace again within the soul
forget the heart's foolish
tears, they should never
be shed in vain..

Love can be held close in
the heart, people never have
to meet to fall in love, words
of love can be satisfying, in it's
very special way..

Loneliness is only a state
of mind, it never needs
to be, unless you want
it to, don't welcome it
it is not the best of friends..

Mind conditioning can change
a way in thinking if the controls
are set on emergency alarms
where the correct answer
would not set the alarms off
like the wrong answer would
do..

So now you have straightened
up your love life, I hope you
can straighten up your web
sites you worked so *******
so people will know where
to go for a little love..

When I stand before God
may I never have regrets
that I've never tried to do
my best.

Roads have many bends
mountains to climb above
clouds filled with doubt
and fear.

Dawn bringing hope
sunsets dance in grace
before darkness appears
across weary minds.

Diamonds bring promise
of another day loving
brightly, in skies above
in these uncertain times
we share.

When I stand before God
may I be an angel to guide
another to love with all their
heart.

Life is not only learning
how to love oneself, we
shine our light from within.

Fire inside, burning, growing deeper
as the wind blows away fears no longer
existing.

Fire inside, blazing across unknown
dimensions of space and time
as we know it.

Touching heart, touching soul beyond
knowledge and understanding, fire
unseen glowing with delight.

Fire of youth burning through, strong
as steel, forever true.

Will not leave without a fight
told you along time ago, life's
worth all the struggle handed
on that green silver platter.

My children, you'll never know
the joy you have brought me
fifty-nine years.

Through our fight, we have never
forgot how hard it was. still we all
keep the links together, they'll
never break, as long as we keep
them strong with togetherness
prayer and love.

Every day takes care of itself
as the wind blows through the
tree of life.

Beauty grows deeper within all
your hearts, as I watch you grow
wise and strong.

No words can touch a soul,
as your actions have touched
mine with pride.

A parent's fondest dream is
to see there children happy
learning, growing each day
what may come.

Our ship remains afloat through
years of hardship and strife, never
saw a ship so worn, yet it shines
with grace.

Dedicated to my six grown children
(Five sons and a daughter)

Along a long road to travel, it's
wide and never-ending, it goes
on and on from morning till dusk
and still, you keep moving on..

Why! does the road lead you on
does it make you satisfied with
yearning in your heart, does it
keep you searching without
finding?

Along a long road to travel alone
the hours run into days and days
into months, still, you travel these
long roads from dawn to early
light, till shadows fall without a
doubt upon a restless heart.

Are you crying silently leaving
the road calm your insanity? is
it is the way you choose to go, down
that long road to peace or escape.

Lead not your heart down this
the road that makes you a slave
climb that mountain that leads
you to your inner peace, then it
soon will end, without another
lonely thought, just the depth of
understanding of who you always
been from the beginning.

Times of closeness with no regrets
kindness given freely from heart
love, a light that brightens all with
warmth and tranquil bliss.

One with Universe united with love
admiration glorified from high
enlightenment renewed within.

Peace surrounding minds perfect
glow, beyond admiration brightly
lite, with imagination bright.

laughter flowing like mist across
mother earth, kissing a final farewell
to misunderstanding, grasping
on to love that brightens everyone
and everything.

(We make love flow, peace solid, and
all that follows a paradise)
