I'll see her face again

Today we buried her,
there her body will stay,
until that wonderful day

I will see her face again,
either when i die,
or away i fly

She was a wonderful mother,
and a very fine wife
between us, there was very little strive

She was a very loyal servant,
to her church, she was very true
she knew what to do, when everyone was blue

She brought many children to the Lord
I'm sure the Lord, has said to her, well done.
of her I always think, at the setting of sun

Thinking of the Past

If you could go back into the past
what would you do differently?
knowing it wouldn't last.

You would have to take, the good with the bad,
you couldn't just re-live the good,
of the things you have lived, also the sad.

Thinking of the past brings depression,
you think of it to often,
it'll only bring you obession.

The past wasn't all good,
today, will be the past tommorw
are things good now? Have you understood?

Think about the past
but understand this.
it does not last.

My Mother

Who was always there when I needed her most?
Who always made the best beef roast?
Who was always there for me to talk to,
when ever I was feeling down and very blue?
When In trouble, who got me out of it?
Still she loved me, even when I had a fit.
She would hug me and say, 'Don't worry,
take your time and don't hurry.'
When ever I said, 'I can't do it.'
She replied, 'Yes you can, don't worry a bit'.
When I left home, she cried and said 'Good bye,
then, said she, 'Now remember don't lie'
Someday, sometime or another,
I will see you again, dear old Mother.

A Letter to My Daughter Christine

To many miles apart are we now
can i say i'm sorry anyhow
yesterday we talked about what happened
words were said, that should be tossed away
years ago in a far away day
when you both came over to stay
Jimmy is gone now, but your still here
so we have today, yesterday is gone
tomorrow will bring new memories
that we can share my daughter dear
Chris lets start today brand new, the past is long gone
so sorry about things that have happened to you
I love you so much, more than you know
lets make today a brand new start
i know if we do, it will bring a glow to our heart

A Moment in Time

A Time to live,
a time to die,
life is like a vapor
so short and swift.

A blink of an eye
and it is over
a moment in time
you were ten years old.

A moment in time, you
were living so carefree
a moment in time
now your worn out.

From childhood
to adulthood,
only a blink
of an eye.

Back home in iowa

oh, Iowa your green rolling hills,
to be back here, brings my heart thrills,
my child hood was spent here
many memories have I, that are very dear.

The capitol city has changed so much,
many years away from you, that I lost touch
to see the tall green corn
and back here where I was born.

Some things do stay the same,
like the hot humid weather, you can't be blamed
progress does come every where
as I look around and do stare

Iowa, you have come a long way,
and to see all the changes, makes me sway
you're still beautiful, as when I left
but the changes, my heart does cleft.

Drops Of Poetry

Drops of Poetry,
on my mind,
soaking in memories,
of things I remember,
of long ago.

Pouring down drops
on to my heart, releasing
my inner thoughts,
from this soul I have,

to write things that
must be told,
love that escaped
from my life, never
more to be seen.

Hurt, tears, broken
dreams torn away
from me, like a falling

My Corgi Mix

My Corgi-mix,
when I ever say
that to you, with
a smile do I get,
and a wag of your tail.

You misunderstand
me all the time,
if I say talk,
your ready for a walk.

Your always wanting
something of kisses
do I get, knowing
full well, your up to something.

5: 30 is feeding time,
and you some how
know it, you search
me out and look at your bowl.

What Makes the Clouds Echo Roar

What makes the clouds echo roar?
As thunder, makes it's pitch
dark and dreary, becomes the sky
What makes the clouds echo roar?

As the sky opens up, and it begins to pour,
no where to run, no where to hide, as I,
head for cover, and still wonder,
what makes the clouds echo roar?

I look around, and see a door
swiftly as a rabbit, I reach there,
I'm really drenched, and still I ask,
What makes the clouds echo roar?

I shake off the water, on to the floor
the rain has stopped now, as I ask once again,
what makes the clouds echo roar?
do you know what? It dosn't really matter anymore.

Life on Hold

As your dreaming one night,
a voice speaks to you telling
you this, 'Look at yourself
from the outside, step out of your
body and take a look.'

'What do you see? Put your life on
pause and look around of what
you have become, click the re-wind
button of your life, stopping here and there,

playing some parts, passing others by.
Now fast foreward to the present,
look at your self the way others do.

Are there changes you can make, I do
think you can do better, so why
don't you give it a try.'

Waking up, you look around the room,
