Life's Journey
When I come to the end
of life's journey
and look back at all my sin,
I will wonder if it all
was worth the pleasure
that caused me to fall.
Hardships and Tribulations I had,
opportunitys flew away from me,
now I stand here so sad.
Life is almost over for me,
second chances wished I had,
knowing I can face death with glee.
Knowing my Lord, has forgiven me,
rising up to Heaven's gate,
knowing I won't have to plea.

Travels of a Rock
One day as I was walking,
down the road so fair,
I spotted a rock,
just laying there.
What is one to do,
in a moment like this,
kick it of course, but
please don't miss.
So far the rock travels,
until someone else comes along,
sees the rock laying there,
they pick it up and sing a song.
They carry the rock a long ways,
with a flip and a toss,
into the pond goes the rock,
walking down this road, now they're lost.

My Dog Murph
My dog murph is what i call him sometimes,
he answers to murphy or murph.
He is so set in his ways, whenever he
wants something, he comes over to me,
and stares at me. Then he paws me on
the hand or arm, if that fells, he sits
up on his rump.
Always i say no, or wait i'm busy, it
matters not to him in anyway.
I always give in to him, and let him
have what he wants. Because he is my
best friend.
And that's what best friends
are for.

Open Minds
Open your mind,
to things unknown,
search the universe
of your soul.
Open your mind,
to your heart
of feelings
buried deep within.
Open your mind
to your ear
of nature and
its beauty.
Open your mind
to knowledge
of things
unlearned yet.

Memory Hall
Memory hall has
been added to
the school department.
On the day before
the big test,
it's a great place
to go.
Revive your memory
here to retain
the information
of things learned.
They take you into
this room and
go to the corner
of the memory.
You will recall

The Lane of Your Heart
Lead me down the lane of your heart,
please lets, never depart,
your heart is so pure, and fine,
i hope our love will never decline.
Your my never, ever, ending love,
our love was made in heaven above,
your my wife and friend,
i always find some way to make you grin.
We been together, thirty-six years,
i know at times, i brought you to tears,
but through it all, you stood by me,
and brought my heart so much glee

Dreamful Thoughts
Long ago when in class room
having dreamful thoughts
of days yet to come.
Dreams of travel to
places far away
to lands of adventure.
Dreamful thoughts of
hollywood and the star
I would become.
Dreamful thoughts of writing
the great american novel,
what a vidid imaination
I had back then.
Suddenly I heard a voice
speaking to me, 'Well
what's the answer Jim.'

New Life
So mad am I,
people are always
walking all over me.
Children are always
marking up my face
with colored chalk.
They're hop scotch
freaks, always jumping
on me, all the time.
Even the day I
was born and still wet,
hand prints, and names they
wrote on me.
Now many years
have I been here
time is catching

Why, oh Why
Why are there no ants around,
until you want to have a picnic?
Why does it rain, everytime
you wash the car?
Why do people find money on,
the other side of the street,
from you?
Why does the phone ring,
everytime your in the bath tub?
Why does the weather turn,
bad, when the home baseball,
team return home?
Why does the traffic light,
continue to stay green,
when you want to stop the car,
to look for something?
Why, oh, why we ask?

Unconditional Love
Dogs are one kind
of friend to have,
memories of them
we share in our hearts
faithful and true are they
dogs show devotion
like no other,
no matter how we
treat them, they
return unconditional love
when were down,
and in the dumps
a friend in deed
we do have,
no one to talk with,
wagging tails, we get
alone and blue
dogs by ourside, very true
down at their level
on the floor,
