The Smile

The smile

You captured my heart with a smile on your face
You found my heart when it was misplaced.
you made my heart feel something that it never felt before.
And I’m grateful now and ever more.
I know that men fall in love with you
Quicker than a flash, but with you it will not last.
For you are set in your ways, and from that you will not sway.
But I see a spark starting to rise
Hiding behind a facial disguise.
For in that smile that I saw, was a love
Fighting to be set free, and it was given to me.
SMILE! As the sun smiles down upon the earth
And the rain gives nourishment to all life
Sooner or later you’ll become my wife.
Now that the smile has a place to call home
Because in my heart it was shown

Engraved Feelings**************1979

sitting in my mothers chair
pain is etched everywhere
feeling the aches and pains
that she must go through
living in her solitude.

a house is not a home
if no one picks up the phone.
a telephone call is all she asks
it's not much of a task.

staring at the pictures of her
grand childrens faces.
recalling when she was younger
with no lines or traces.
that old age would soon appear.
it was something that she did not fear.

now her medical problems have gotten worse
she is more or less an invalid, and needs a nurse.

Man On A Mission

I am a man on a mission to win your heart and soul
I know it will be difficult or so I’m told.
Now I am not saying I’m better than other men
But I will show you where I am.

You and I must stand on common ground
So we could hear our hearts sounds.
Let our hearts feel each other
So our doubts we could smother.

Your love to me- is the water of life
The food for nourishment
The air that I breathe
And everything else in between.

How can you think that another man
Can love you as much as I do, when
In your heart you know it’s not true.

My love burns like the scorching sun

Time Clock

we all have a time clock ticking every moment
of every day.
until the last gasp of breath
which slowly slips away.

so while here on this earth
use every second that goes by.
for we pass through this world but once
no matter how we try.

we will be remembered by friends and family
for the goodness when we care.
for that is something that they'll always share.

when you share the joys and sorrows
the heartaches and the pain
the warmth and tenderness that you feel
for them is still the same.

open up your heart for all the world to see

Prayers Have Wings You Know

prayers have wings you know
it takes its time and moves slow
but each and every prayer is heard
though you may not hear a word.

the prayers are taken by our guardian angels
to the lord up above
who reads each one with caring and love.
he then puts it in the order received
and then satisfies every ones needs.

so when you say your prayers, day or night
it never leaves gods hearing or sight.
he is there to satisfy our needs
as long as we don't get that greed.

prayers (do) have wings you know
they do not stay in that place called limbo
where they can't be reached.

Kaleidoscope

the FLORIDA setting sun is as beautiful as can be.
it's like a kaleidoscope that everyone wants to see.
a light blue background with reddish orange streaks
with a dash of white to compliment this treat.

a full moon on the horizon lighting up the sky
the tips of the trees rising
to reach this prism on high.

there is nothing that can compare
to the beauty that is here.
and when i take my bed at night
i see every star in plain sight

the stars like lights in a darkened room
coming on very soon
to lighten up every corner
of my mind, so that the
thoughts could run free
of all the beauties that surround me.

Poetic Friend

I just met a friend on line who
complimented my poems of verse and rhyme.
He saw something in it which I can’t describe.
As if we had became one of a kind.

It was as if I had become the poetry
Instead of it coming out of me.
My poems and I became as one
As the sky with the sun.

This is a feeling which I find hard to
Put into words, like a voice which
Had never been heard,

Like the final door that has to be opened
And you have the key, that will set your
Mind and heart free.

Is there really a point in life
Where we become what we write?

Restoration Of Faith

the restoration of faith and undying love
was given to us from the lord above.
this restoration will be everlasting.

jesus then said: the same way that god has given it to me
i will give it to thee.
i will restore in you-the father, the son, the holy ghost
this is the gift you will treasure thr most.

for if you are pure in mind and deed
whatever you do you will succeed.
faith in me and faith in god
is the restoration from the start
and it begins with your heart.

so open up your mind and hear what i say
you had this from the very first day
of when you was baptized with water
to erase mortal sin
and over the devil you would win.

The Blindfold

the devil came and covered our eyes
but he was in for a big surprise
GOD lifted the veil so that you could see
that this is not about you or me.

this is about the children of the world
every little boy and girl.
who is hungry for food and love
which was given to us from above.

look around you and what do you see
hunger and poverty.
children with no place to sleep
and no food to eat.
looking through the garbage
for a little treat.

the devil thrives on peoples fears
and doesn't give a damn about your tears.
he wants to put you through the aches and pains.

Not Ready To Say Goodbye

neither one of us was ready to say goodbye.
but we knew that it was my time.

there are so many things
that we think to say, but we never
find the time, or the way.

the love that had built up
over the years
the joys, the happiness, the cheers.
all these memories come to you
quick as a flash
but not enough time to make it last.

although neither of us is ready
to say goodbye.
you know that i'll be fine.

i'll be with JESUS and our father
from above
