in the desert heat
only the scorpion moves
saguaro just pose

hanging by a twig
man in the moon glows no more
not a breath of air

on this sheet of glass
lungs and gills so far apart
catfish takes the bait

If I wrote it all down, would you know it?
Could you see what I want you to see?

Would you think me a clown or a Poet?
If the words flowed in tempo from me?

If I showed you my soul would you wear it?
You should know what I'm trying to be

Would you care it was me if you knew it?
If I looked you in the eye would you see me?

If I handed you my heart could you hold it?
You should see it drip into obscurity


(chorus)
drawn on the page of obscurity
gone from age of what was you and me
drowned in the depths of eternity
turn another page of  hostility
drawn from the pages of obscurity



If I sang it out loud, would you hear it?
Could you hear the song inside of me?

Would you think me a fool and deny it?
If the words were a melody of me?

If I shouted out in anger, would you bear it?
You who screams of another’s destiny

Would you share my love or ignore it?
If I gave it to you would you give back to me?

If I took my love away would you know it?
You should feel it fade into obscurity*



(chorus)
drawn on the page of obscurity
gone from age of what was you and me
drowned in the depths of eternity
turn the next page of  impurity
drawn from the pages of obscurity
of obscurity
drawn on the page of obscurity
gone from age of what was you and me
drowned in the depths of eternity
turn the last page of impurity
drawn from the pages of obscurity
from obscurity
obscurity**

“In the Living Years”
no one is perfect we are who we are
there’s no one reason or no perfect rhyme
divided by difference in a generation of time
you see things your way and I see things another
I see the dreams and wishes of a Father and Mother,
and I’ll do my best to  erase all  your doubts and fears
I am glad I got to tell you  ~  “In The Living Years”
Everyday is Father’s Day & Everyday is Mother’s Day
I am glad I got to tell you  ~ “In The Living Years”
the days fade away and the years slowly disappear
I will carry your name proudly as Junior’s destiny
every minute of every day you live on through me
your wisdom & love passed from Father to Son
and when your days on this earth are done
no one lives forever we are who we are
“In The Living Years”

inspired by the song
"In the living years"
by
Mike and The Mechanics 1988

Marriage was intended to make babies
not statements!

Marriage is a covenant before God
not governments!

Marriage is a promise to family and future
not quick investments!

Marriage is sacrifice and hard work
not daily entertainments!

Marriage is a mortgage and college fund
not tax entitlements!

Marriage takes a Father & Mother for a child
not village managements!

Marriage is lived and enjoyed in private
not public amusements!

Marriage is between husband, wife and God
not life partner arrangements!

There once was a time when I was lost
alone out in the darkness with high cost
I was unable to see so I kept my distance
was unwilling to be so I held my resistance
upside down,  turned and twisted inside out
shattered and broken into pieces full of doubt



Evil is hate and fear is the cause to fantasize
faith is hope and love is the grace you realize
gather together all the pieces that were broken
now is the time for action not one word spoken
into the light and out of the darkness once more
there's so much more light than there was before
