Luck
Luck visited one day;
Winked and smiled at me.
Things began to go my way.
As I could plainly see.
I met someone by chance,
Who sought a better life.
Now together we advance
Forever man and wife.
Once again luck appeared,
This time without a smile,
As workplace disappeared;
Now time to think awhile.
Now time to think that luck
Wears a keen disguise,
And really only visits
Per direction from the skies.

God
When a tree falls in the forest with no one around,
Does it make noise or is there no sound?
Is existence intrinsic or must someone receive?
Does a thing become real just because we believe?
Is there a hereafter, or is it a figment of the mind,
That we hope for and search for, but will never find?
As for this falling tree, there’s solace I’ve found.
I wonder, but believe that someone gives it sound.

America911
Stars and stripes wave in the breeze
Hailing boundless opportunites.
This flag bespeaks our sacred land
Where all are free to understand
That freedom each and every day
Is bought by many who still pay
With lives, tears, sweat and toil
So we can enjoy this hallowed soil.
Since freedom's not free, we must strive
To keep our liberty alive.
Though unsure times, it's surely clear
America won't ever yield to fear.

C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s
C is for Christ who was born on this day.
H is for Hope his birth will always convey.
R is for Redemption he has passed our way.
I is for his Ignominious suffering and persecution.
S is for Sins which now have a solution.
T is for Thanks for God’s wondrous deeds.
M is for his Miracles with all peoples and creeds.
A is for the Almighty and his eternal gift of love.
S is for Salvtion we will receive from above.

Without Her
Without her what would life be…
Nothing but pure rummage to me?
How could I possibly carry on
Knowing that she was forever gone?
What would I do with each day
Without her ever loving way?
How could I sleep a peaceful night
Without her countenance in sight?
Where would I find a place to flee
Without her soothing security?

March
This wintery season has come, but not yet gone,
Though as like Caesar it’s time will soon move on.
With St. Patrick’s followers as dedicated guides,
Fun can be had by all who celebrate these famous Ides.
Whether friend or foe or upper or lower class,
Invest moments well for each never again will pass.
Happiness or sadness is a decision you yourself make.
Your mark on this month depends on the road you take.

April
April is eternal spring.
She sows the mirth for everything.
Her smiling sun and soothing showers
Create May’s ebullient flowers.
April assuages winter’s noose,
As snow and cold call annual truce.
Warmth and laughter then fill the air,
Replacing a somber season’s stare.
The year without April’s place,
Indeed would be a sterile space.
So thank you April for being here.
Your presence assures a happy year.

Living Dead
A chance to smile, a chance for fun
Lost by anyone
Who misses the train as it pulls away
For a better time, a better day.
These living dead do breathe and move,
But spirit and soul long ago died.
They labor and languish tryng to prove
That their living death is justified.
In place of joy and hope in their life,
They worship wealth and power.
They died for these monsters of strife,
Which consume their every hour.

Why I Love You
I love you because you have taught me
How to view myself as others can see.
I love you because you have made days
More worth living through giving and praise.
I love you because of my feeling of pride,
Knowing that you’ll always be at my side.
I love you because you're my best friend.
Our love for each other will never end.
I love you my darling and promise to say,
“i love you, need you and thank you” each day.

If
IF I WERE THE WIND, I’D BLOW YOU A KISS.
IF I WERE A STAR I’D FILL YOU WITH BLISS.
IF I WERE THE MOON, I’D SEND YOU A GLOW.
IF I WERE THE SUN, MY BEAMS YOU WOULD KNOW.
BUT I’M JUST A MAN WHO LOVES YOU SO.
IF YOU LOVE ME, ALL OF THESE WILL BE MINE.
THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS ALL WILL SHINE.
THEN OUR LOVE WILL BE BLESSED BY THE DIVINE.
AND WARM RAYS WILL FILL ALL OUR DAYS.
YES, WARM RAYS WILL FILL ALL OUR DAYS.
