The Truth 09/14/04 The truth shall set you free Said with such ease But is that really how it is Or is a white lie now and then Easier to tell Easier to sale More believable than the truth itself Sometimes it is I've done you've done it Since we were kids We've heard it told it Ourselves We'll tell our kids not to lie Then don't follow our own advice It's like a small fib now and then Is alright Shame on you shame on me The truth will set you free Solving problems before they root The Truth

In Our Time 10/04/04 From the cradle to the grave One step closer each step we take To avoid that banana peel That one slip that could kill In it's many many forms Death starts watching The day were born In the wings silently there Without a worry without a care Listening watching to see If it'll be hard Or easy Choices not all our own Make the wait short Or help it along In our time here on earth Choices made since our birth How to add How to subtract Loose a few years for a cigarette Add some back if you quit Not as many as you did Have before your loss Bad habits cost Eating away at time Making smoking like a crime Poisoning our bodys Shortening our days Taking us closer to the grave To spread the distance From the grave Many better choices made Take a walk with a child Ride a bike for a while Go for a swim join a gym Make love go for a run It's our body it's our mind It's up to us In our time

Back To Nature 10/21/04 I live for many things Birds and bees Clear mountain springs Tadpoles and lizards Warm spring days Cold winter blizzards Fascinate me Naturally As one with nature it's so cool God's creation the greatest tool Back in time my mind Finds that I Was so care free Nakedness didn't bother me On a creek bank with a friend Where on bare behinds We would decent Into the creek below Muddy as little pigs In a wallow Splashing about until clean Just to do it again Our skinny dipping a secret our own Her sweet name I've never told Mind you I never will A promise I keep still Buried deep in memory A beautiful brown eyed girl and me Alone in the woods on a stroll Talking of a future all our own Birds singing magical songs Songs of love Bringing out touch In such a way that we Were spontaneous and free Without a care or feeling of sin To do it all over (yes again) A time to cherish through all of life Memories that last until I die Memories that are true and sure Take me back to nature

We Learn 11/14/04 We learn there is always two sides No matter how it is sliced We learn a hero doesn't have to die A hero does what needs done As it needs done We learn that two people cannot See the same thing And not have differing opinions We shouldn't have to learn love But learn to be someone Who can embrace love Someone who can love and be loved We learn it takes time to build trust But only moments to destroy it We learn first to be honest with ourselves Then to be honest with others as well We learn to be politically correct But still stand up For what we believe is best We learn that We must forgive ourselves Then we must forgive others as well We learn even the best friend Can let us down We learn it's the individual That really counts We learn that in times of war We can find peace We learn if we want much more Than what we really need Constitutes a kind of greed From the moment we are born We adapt we overcome we change As the world turns We Learn

A Holiday 12/04/04 Have you noticed what's being taught to say Don't call it Christmas call it a holiday Take the Christmas word out as not to offend I'm sorry sir to me that's a sin I'll be politically correct to a certain extent But to remove Christmas I'll not bend I'll stand strong and I'll defend The very word and what it represents I'm not talking about the commercialized part Where presents are wrapped then torn apart No I'm more concerned about the birth And what it means to us on earth How the star of Bethlehem shone Where have all the wise men gone Is there still compassion among men Where did it go and when Even if you happen to not agree You don't deny others of their belief We can't all agree on what's right to say But there are millions like me who have the faith And who will never call Christmas just a holiday Merry Christmas!

Our Word 12/21/04 No signed document can hold the word There's lots of integrity in it's worth It's what separates some from the rest By keeping our word Were doing our best The building of trust starts this way Keeping your word what ever you say Meaning what you say Saying what you mean Just being a considerate human being Placing other's feelings right up there with your own Your word can make weak what is strong A trust a bond a friendship of sort Can easily be crushed if other's learn We have no worth when it comes to keeping Our Word

One Person Can 12/21/04 How does one change the many the right kind of way Just by initiating the right kind of change It's starts with you in your surroundings Making the world better that's about 'ya In your little corner of our great planet You start something good then you fan it Grow it into a blazing fire of hope Try and make peace where ever you go Talk to your neighbors learn their name Show them you'll help if needed someday Give a little trust and grow your return That's the only way you'll ever learn Other's around are willing too If you show them trust Then maybe they'll trust you All of the trust that has been lost Has come at a much to high a cost We can't keep being all suspect It is now time to take freedom back The loved ones lost on that evil day We owe the honor to be this way Why are we letting terrorist win By not being who we were back then Just not as complaisant as we once were We know there's evil here on earth It always has been this we know Just cut off it's roots before it grows That's where you and I come in We start a cycle of trust again It begins with one then there's ten How many more is anyone's guess Growing trust making new friends Getting it started One person can

Humble Pie 01/03/05 It's not pumpkin blueberry or cherry Seldom as sweet a strawberry Even when it makes you choke You find a ray of hope So we try to take in stride And learn to savor our humble pie When you learn to humble yourself It's usually for someone else That's why you choose to chew not just appease You eat for peace For yourself and another fellow Humble pie will make you clever It teaches that your not always right also others Eat humble pie By our families friends and neighbors It's served up in all the flavors Who knows what the next humbling will be To much to bare an illness a blessing A death a birth may be No reason or why not hard to find Humble Pie

In A Secular Society 01/06/05 Of or pertaining to worldly things Or to things not regarded as sacred The one definition of secular Not concerned with religion opposed to sacred Not belonging to a religious order A secular society Secularism a system of political philosophy that rejects all forms of religious faith and worship Religion becomes only gossip Looked upon as just being ignorant Or misplaced in society To be secularized Separated from religious connections or influences made worldly To transfer what's ecclesiastical to civil possession or use Is this where were headed No God allowed no worship Secularized by choice of course You cannot contain God you may try But God's will be done You can say no religion no not none You can secularize Your daughters and your sons Teach them there is no God Watch the world be destroyed by fire The fire of hate and unforgiveness The fire that burns in us Put out by lack of hope and love Compassion dead from lust Eating away at rotting souls Lost in the abyss of long ago No future to behold religion gone Children seeking answers To the unknown Where are we from Is there a soul They'll want to know Why do you have a bible But keep it closed Why's it covered with dust Is it something fragile and old If I touch it will I die In a secular society There will be allot of questions With answers that have No reason or why For those who didn't know the meaning of Secular, I looked it up for you.

Loss Or Gain 01/18/05 To compare what's been lost with what's been gained Is to ask what's been missed with what was attained If defeat is victory in disguise And life is but an empty dream Where is the room for pride In the days idly spent Thinking about our good intent We've wasted time Let enjoyment turn to sorrow Just to face it again tomorrow Let us then be up and doing Keep achieving and pursuing Heart in a God overhead Letting the past bury it's dead Like footprints in the sand of time We can live our lives sublime Elevated impressing the mind With a sense of grandeur and power inspiringly in awe Things are not always what they seem And life is not an empty dream Time is fleeting while hearts are beating Beating to the tone of any fate Beating to learn and to wait While angels gather their wings with interest in our fate Like the flower needing the sun to grow A dream never ending is your soul With all this said it's still the same In all our lives it's either Loss or gain
