Catacombs Of My Mind
i feel you tip toeing through
the catacombs of my heart.
which is where you had gotten your start.
now you walk through
the catacombs of my mind
of every waking moment
and every sleepless night.
no matter how i try to forget you
or keep you from my sight.
you continue the walk in my mind
searching for anything left behind.
and picking up the pieces
that you find, of the love i left behind.
what is a heart and mind supposed to do
when 'it is so in love with you'.
the softness of your lips
the gentleness of your touch

My Child
the LORD blessed me with a child this day.
much more beautiful than words can say.
came into this world with such energy
bouncing around and being free.
captured the hearts of all around
bringing happiness in leaps and bounds.
another like her can't be found.
she is the inspiration in my soul
just to think of her and the words start to flow.
she has a beauty beyond compare
of which all men would love to share.
for in her heart all can see
that she is like a bird
who must be set free.

The Sweetest Sound
The sweetest sound I ever heard
Was the power of his words.
He took me out of the clutches of hell
And in my heart - he does dwell.
I found myself falling down
He picked me up off the ground
wiped me off and set me down.
I recalled many of the sermons
That my preacher had said
Of how JESUS raised
LAZARUS from the dead
If he could raise him so easily
Then helping me was a breeze
So many miracles that he had created
Left the rabbi's devastated.
But more than the rabbi's devastation

It Does Not Matter
it does not matter who you are.
where you're from
or what you've done.
it does not matter, if you're
short and round, with a smile or a frown.
or if you're tall and lanky
and always cranky.
if you have the looks or body
everyone desires
or if you could even put out someones fire.
it does not matter, your disposition.
you should not be catorigized
in a position.
it does not matter, whether you're rich or poor
or if you're quick in the mind
or slow at times.

Lost Hearts Strong Hearts
how many lost hearts are in this world?
grown men and women
young boys and girls.
different hearts for different loves
all seeking the answers from above.
the lost heart when somebody
departs from this earth.
a lost heart when a woman gives birth.
the lost heart of a dream shattered
which was 'all in your life that mattered'.
the lost heart of a man for a woman
and a woman for the man
when they decide to take a stand.
but! the lost heart does not need a hand.
the human heart is the only
thing in this life, that has outlived

Forth Of July Celebration
(7/4/12)
It's the 4th of JULY celebration
Where people who wanted freedom
Fought to create this nation.
Many had died to give us this right
And over two hundred years we continue to fight.
We still give freedom to all who arrive
This is our nations pride.
People who have come here from every nation
Join one another for this celebration.
In our nations capital we have our liberty bell
Where our cry for freedom was to " give them hell".
Through out our nation you will see fireworks shot in the sky
To remind us of how these AMERICANS fought and died.
So weather it be fireworks you shoot in the sky
Or a sparkler that you hold in your hand

My Quotations
1) Live life as if it's your last day living
love as if its your first day loving
And treasure every moment.
2) happy is he who has not any
But in his heart he has plenty.
3) with the light of day the
Night is taken away
And with the rise of dawn
a new day is born.
4) the lord chokes but he does not strangle
He will not leave your life to dangle.
5) love is something we can not do without
Our bodies crave it, our hearts shout.
6) you are my daughter, I am your dad
Of this I am mighty glad.

Old Age Prayer
old age seems to be creeping up on me.
i stare at words that i can not see.
i have arthritis setting in
i'm feeling all the needles and pins.
my bones ache, my skin flakes
more pills i can't take
they say there are pills for all you feel
but with this i can not deal.
i felt a headache starting to rise
it felt like thunder and lightning
flashing thru my mind.
thunder and lightning of every kind.
then i was asked a simple question today.
at the end of the day, do i pray?
stunned! i did not know what to say
but the question stayed in my mind

Lord Here I Am
LORD! Here I am- here I stand
Ready to go to your promised land
A place where there is never no pain
And our souls are all the same.
Singing, rejoicing, and praising your name
Happiness in leaps and bounds
There is no sadness to be found.
There is a radiating light in every soul
Such a beauty, a sight to behold.
In heaven there is no such thing as time
Not a clock that you have to wind.
There is no beginning, there is no end
And everyone there is family and friend.
The words sister or brother means exactly that
There is no skinny, there is no fat.
There is no ugliness in this place
For all of us have a beautiful face.
