Let myself go
aldo kraas Aug 2023
Let myself go
When I will be sleeping tonight
I will let myself go
And drift away into a sleep
Also I will shut my mind of
Because it would be wrong
To let my mind work
Also I will close my eyes
I don’t know about
Dreaming tonight
If this happens
I will be fine
Because dreaming is also
Like breathing

I just can't wait no more
aldo kraas May 2021
I just can’t wait t no more to go to heaven
I am an old man now
My younger days are over
I am aging gracefully
I must tell you God
That I live alone
All my family are gone
I am the only one left
I just can’t wait no more to go to heaven
I have depression
And I fight this battle alone
I hope that some day I will win this battle that is my depression
God, I am waiting impatiently for you to take me to heaven
There in heaven I will rest in peace forever
And also in heaven I wont have my depression

Mother's in heaven
aldo kraas Oct 2023
Mother's in heaven
We have lost our mother's
That had died from cancer
Many years ago
We had also cried when we had lost our mother
Our mothers had always told us
That we are very immature
We hated that
It had made us very mad
Also we only had freedom
The day our mother's died
And that made us happy
We begin living our lives
The way we wanted to live
We had lived our life to
The fullest
We had started to make
Some friends
Our friends treated us
With respect
And we treated also our
With respect
Our friends respected
Our religion
And our race
We had prayed to God
And asked God to give us
Health and peace
We didn't had good health
We all had some health issues
I have some depression
That is hard to live with
I take injection for my depression
Every month
When we were a teenager
We had no health problem
We had started to have health problems
When we became adults
None of us want to die from cancer
We never smoked cigarettes
Because we would ruin our lungs
We never drunk any wine
Because we would be ruining our liver
Today we are adults and very matured
We wished that our mother's could be here
To see how fast we have changed
We are finally matured adults
Yes all of us are missing our mothers
But our mother's are living in heaven
And they are resting in peace
Also we are always praying for our mother's
We know that our mother's don't have
Any pain anymore

But I know that he is happy in heaven living his life
Also I live my life here on earth every single day
God watches after him
And the angels serve his meals in heaven in God's dining room
After the meals he watches his tv every single day
Because he needs to keep up with the news from the world
If he was alive today he would be 109 years old
When he lived on earth he lived a modest life
And he was kind to everyone that he knew

And believe that it must be
Very expensive to buy
The field of dreams
Let somebody rich
Buy the field of dreams
Because they need more then

aldo kraas Aug 2023
Lots of good memories of you I have
All the sadness that I had felt once
You removed it
By bringing me happiness
When I couldn't speak you were my voice
When I couldn't see it anymore
You gave my vision back
Again
My guilt you took away
I surrender all to you
You had given me plenty of things that I had never expected
And I never had asked for it
I am glad that I know you like my savior
Where there was darkness you brought light
You walked on water
You shared your word with your people
You fed those that were hungry
You gave water to those that were thirsty
I will lay down in your fields
And water the flowers for you
I will give it back in return what you gave to me
You send me to deliver your word to the people of this city
I know you choose me because I am the right person for it
Mother nature is stronger than me, if I tried to fight mother nature I will
Never win
Even though
Mother nature can do more damage than I ever saw

Also, I can hear the rain coming down hard

From the sky

While I sleep

I hope that the rain will stop

By this afternoon

Because I hope to be able

To work in my garden

By this afternoon

Yes, I am lucky that

The Spring is finally here

And God put the Winter finally

To sleep

Also, he brought the birds back

Home

Finally, for me

Because I was also missing them

Now the days are longer again

And it gets dark by 9:00PM

Every single day

I finally had mistreated you
And I know that you don't
Need to be mistreat by me
I would love if you could
Give me another chance
Because It is not right
For me to live without you
And I just can't live
Without you
Because I need you
Also I am not lying
To you
What part don't you understand?
Friend nobody can live without friends
Because we would live
A lonely life
And also we would be Isolated
Also I don't know if
I will get over you
And also I must move on
Living my life
Every single day

To Windsor
I won't see you anymore after you move

The kind person you were
Very down to earth
Just like me

And soon we will have the good weather again
It will be spring by then
Francis remember
That I will always be you poet
Also I will never let you down
I always enjoyed seeing you beautiful smile
Also Francis always take care of you health
Please don't let you health  go down hill
Please live your life every single day
To the fullest
Because you only live once
Francis live now in your future
Make new friends
Because you need friends
In you life

Certain death
Is hard to overcome
If has to do with your loved ones
We know how much you loved ones
Had suffered with there sickness
While they had been living here on earth
We could not stand to see our loved ones
Suffering with there sickness

Never mind
aldo kraas Sep 2023
Never mind
Father I will continue
To pray for you
Never mind
I don’t want to live
My life alone
Without friends
Never mind
I will show my respect
To my father
Never mind
Because I don’t want
To mistreat my father
Because he would hated
To be mistreated by me
Never mind
I have good friends
That have lots of respect for me
Also they accept me the way
I am
And I am very happy that
They accept me the way I am
Never mind
My friends will never hurt me
Because I had built my trust
On my friends

Take me to the riverside
aldo kraas Oct 2023
Take me to the riverside
Where I am going to be baptized
By the Lord
Take me to the riverside
Where I am going to lay down
And rest for the night
Until the early morning arrives
At the riverside
