The Search 03/25/04 Of all the things on this earth What is the most important thing we search Is the search for fortune and fame Do we want everyone to know our name Is unconditional love our goal Will we ever really know What it is that we want the most We find the things that we think we need Then find fantasy is opposite reality Once the possesion is in our hand Possession teaches it's no better than Not even having it at all It is no where near worth the cost That it took to possess it after all We seem to always be on the search For all the possessions on this earth A shiny ring sparkling gold Diamonds are forever I'm told Strings of pearls around our neck One big lottery check Will heal our ills Bring us lots of joy and thrills At least it is a nice fantasy And people do win the lottery Even though the odds are thin Every so often someone will win It's a life changing thing to most To buy anything no matter the cost But does it really heal the soul And make the winner feel whole Will it change their heart I know they have a new start Finacially that is But is their heart free to give Or will it turn to greed Even though they have no need For anymore personal gain Will this person still be the same The wealth can come and the wealth can go But no amount of money should buy your soul It's already been paid for in blood So the search should be For peace and love Not just for possessions of this earth Should be the search

Mother's Milk 04/09/04 Smoother than any woven silk Satisfying hunger like no other Mother's Milk As natural as the setting sun Mother feeding her new born Showing us nurturing at it's finest A new mother feeding the tinest Little baby I ever saw Gave me this feeling of awe What a gift a woman has To create a life and then that Little child can suckle it's mother Creating a bond like no other Feeding until it falls fast asleep A mother's love is so deep She can create a living soul Mother's are the greatest of us all The strongest man in the land Will run to mother to hold his hand When he is feeling alone and hurt He finds comfort in mama's skirt We as men think we are the strong But in reality we are so wrong Women out rank us ten to one How can we compete with what they've done The pain they bare when giving birth Is like no other on this earth If it were up to men to bare this task There would be no children for life to last Not saying that men can't do their share But there's allot of pain men can't bare The best we can do is to make fine silk And thank God above For sweet nurturing Mother's Milk To all mothers and mothers to be, thanks for the love of a mother's touch.

The Future 04/24/04 Yesterday has faded into the past The future is ours as long as it last The one certain thing ahead One day a eulogy to be read Will be mine and I hate to say your's But of course What else can I say We are all going to die someday But death is not what I want to talk about It's living now It's knowing that there's a better road For us to follow as we go Into the future the past left behind Only memories in our mind Yes our hearts have memories too Of lost loves and what was cruel The hardest things to forget Yet Let only good thoughts adhere when You visit the past now and then We must make clear in our brain In the future there is always change No two days are the same For this were a party to the blame Especially when we refuse to change Our bad habits that bring us down The things that make us frown There's good and bad in every soul It's up to us which will grow I know for myself I'll keep trying To grow good before my dying Even though bad is never far away It keeps it's distance when I pray The greatest tool I have To fertilize good and beat the bad For this faith in prayer I was saved For a future beyond the grave A day to come like a thief in the night When my new wings will take their flight To soar as an Eagle does With only a feeling of peace and love Healing beyond any doctor's suture A eulogy for the future

The Passion In Us All 05/10/04 No greater love does a man have Than to lay down his life for a friend Then let it be written let it be said The soul's passion was in thee Where do we receive this great love In all the things inherent there of Is it a gift or human nature at work So when do we realize it's there Seems to come from thin air You may not even be feeling compassionate When all of a sudden a word a jester Will make eyes water tears to flow The heart to grow It's the passion of the soul Passion for love, for caring, or sharing For teaching, preaching, parenting Making love, and all the above Where does it come from Deep inside a living soul Is the only answer I know I've heard it confessed by cold killers From addicts and drug dealers Even in their darkest hours Their passion bloomed like flowers The coldest heart can be humbled When word of family is mumbled This flower planted in our chest Can only be described best From the bloom we wear outside That portrays the passion and desire We have for all living things And all the passion that it brings From our greatest heights To our hardest fall The passion in us all

A Man's Best Friend 05/26/04 Found my dog dying today poisoned the vet. would say A victim of a hanious crime Committed by a disturbed mind I was assured justice will prevail Of course the system could let me down A dog is man's best friend I know this to no end Just petting a dog Lowers blood pressure they've found A family member was my hound I'm really missing him right now To put him to sleep I had no choice My eyes are more than a little moist Never to hear his bark again Brings me heartache that want end Goodbye to you my dear friend Losing you is tearing me apart I can't believe how it's broke my heart I try to be strong and not show hate But now I'm standing at the gate The gate of taking into my own hands The justice this crime demands Sounds like a vigilante I know But in my heart this sorrow grows His life cannot be lost in vain Sure as Scooby was his name In his memory I make this vow On tear stained paper now Justice for Scooby Hound To me this loss is so great It has tested my faith While still needing to be strong With my faithful friend lost and gone So I best pray for forgiveness and understanding For my God knows I will not abandon All the things he's done for me So I'm sure he'll send a new puppy For me to love again A Man's Best Friend

Frozen Tears 06/10/05 A young boy walking in the freezing cold On his cheeks tears that had froze A police officer on routine patrol Saw this young boy walking alone Son where are you going aren't you cold Yes sir I am but my parents told me to go They told me to leave and never come back Show me your home son where's it at Upon arrival to the policeman's surprise A young girl standing outside Barely dressed with no shoes on her feet And frozen tears on her cheeks Knocking on the door to see who was home Here comes their mother with no clothes on The officer asked her to please get dressed As he tried to be calm he did his best All she wanted was another child to molest Her lustful heart enjoyed incest An investigation pursued until they found the tape Of the young girl and the footage of rape Hiding in the attic like a bat Another molester hiding from fact It was her stepfather trying to get away So he could molest another some day The story continues here come more tears Her biological father now serving 25 years For raping her when she was very young It's not enough time for what he has done For this kind of child abuse Get a short piece of rope and tie a noose Then find a good strong limb I promise you no more abuse from him When a child is abused from the day their born They don't know the difference it becomes the norm This abuse happened just down the street Each time I hear it I'm enraged but weak Weakened to the cold hard fact That innocence lost is hard to get back I look at the children that I hold so dear Then the image of frozen tears Comes crippling my heart and soul As I remove my shoes and head out into the cold To honor this girl only twelve years old I look to the heavens trying to deny my fears But it's so hard to see Through frozen tears

Common Ground 06/23/04 The most ridiculous thing of all Is how we seek other's fall Never looking for what is neutral Or the things that are crucial Seeing only what we want to see Instead of letting be Those things that separate Leading to mistrust and hate Not letting us communicate With each other in such a way Just a smile on our face Saying have a nice day Go in peace on your journey Just simple things for our learning As we make our way around Finding the most common ground Between each living soul These things common to us all When cut we all bleed red When hungry we all need fed If tired we'll need rest From east to west North to south There's common ground all around Seek it out it can be found The color of skin is only color We are all sister and brother If your black and I'm white Is that a reason to fight If I believe in God and you don't Should I not believe if you want Or vice versa either way We have the right to say What we feel and believe And still live in peace It's our common ground again As were only human beings Subject to mistakes and false deeds Hearts full of love some full of greeds Evil in some peace in others Yet were still sisters and brothers Going back to the dust from which we came Marked by stone bearing our name Underneath it all can be found Common Ground

Another Angel Yesterday 07/09/04 Yesterday... pearly gate opened wide Another Angel flew inside Here on earth... tears on our face Staring into... an open grave Hearts and souls broke into When heaven wanted you Were greedy... here on earth Have been... since your birth We still... need you here In life... you were so dear A kind heart... and caring soul We sure do hate... to see you go To not miss you... would be a sin Even when... we see you again (up in heaven someday) We still grieve... from yesterday From the cradle... to the grave Your sweet memory... we will save God's mercy... will heal the pain A grey tombstone... with your name Tells the date... of your demise A grim reminder... for our eyes Each time we visit... your resting place Tears will trickle... down our face Cancer came... and took away Another Angel Yesterday Dedicated to all the victims of Cancer.

From Our Tomorrow 07/29/04 Yesterday is the tomorrow On the day before that Then tomorrow is sure to pass Without anymore being done then Than was done when Yesterday was tomorrow The day before that If put off until tomorrow What needs done today Then tomorrow's needs Will get in the way Of what wasn't done Yesterday Causing today's needs To be put off until tomorrow Adding grief and more sorrow Simple task that are not done Add up to more than some Can do in any given day When tomorrow becomes The day after yesterday With it's task adding to the till Becoming more than our will Is able to over come By adding yesterday's total To the over all sum But life in general has away Of making us all Put off until tomorrow What needs done today It's never going to change No matter how hard we try To do it all today The if's and's but's how's and why Always get in the way Leaving us to always borrow From Our Tomorrow

Your Lips My Sugar 08/12/04 Your forty nine and I still call you baby Maybe it's because your one fine lady Or is it because your my bride Filling me up with over zealous pride Either way it's still those lips That sweet sugar doesn't spread hips Like the store bought does No this sugar only comes in love Runs off the mouth like sweet cream Fills the head and heart with a dream Want rot teeth But knocks me off my feet Tastes like it was made in heaven That's why all my love I've been saving To spend it all on you For every sweet delicious thing you do Like those kisses in the dark Sweet sugar melts my heart Brings me down to my knees Begging sweet sugar please Please give me one more taste For it's now love we must make Until the early hours before dawn Your sweet sugar keeps me going on On and on like the energizer rabbit Just one more sweet habit That gets sweeter everyday Sweeter and sweeter in everyway If I could package it for sale The sweetest sugar on the shelf I'd be the richest man around But I'm greedy with my sweet So no sale it's all for me I could never share with another Your lips my sugar
