Hope In Our Hearts

Hope raises its head in times of despair
Hope raises its head when you think no ones there.
Hope is the foundation to all in life
Hope is our strength, our deepest might.
Hope is a common ground that we all share.
Hope shows our loved ones that we care.

When hope disappears from our hearts
Where do we go? Where do we start?
How can it be, that hope opens
the doors to all the mysteries.
One door closes, and another one opens.
And looking inside you will see
The beauties and the realities.

When you feel that life on you has turned its back
And the ropes tighten, without any slack.
when you feel that no one is there
With your problems you wish to share.

Circle OfLove

(6/27/12)

We had created a circle of love and
What goes around comes around.
A perfect love I had found.

It is as strong as a golden ring
For in our love we put every thing.
Our hearts and souls entwined like
The strands of string in a rope
Giving me strength, giving me hope.

Our hearts were afloat like rose petals
Upon a river stream
And where ever you looked our love could be seen.

This bond between us will never be broken
Of this " we had spoken".
My life I would gladly give
Because of your love - I do live.

Please Come Back

Another lonely night and I don't know what to do
I've lost everything including you.
I look out the window and gaze at the sky
Recalling memories of you and I.

My eyes fill with tears cause the memories
Hurt so bad.
People ask why I'm lonely and why I am so sad.

When you lose your family, friends and job too
There is nothing left, nothing to do.
But the worst part was losing you.

How could I have let this destroy our love
You was the only thing I wasn't thinking of.
I chose to ignore you while I was in my gloom
And our love ended too soon.

You are the one thing that I need ' you see'
So please, please, come back to me.

Death Came Knocking At My Door

Knocking at my door

Death came knocking at my door
HE SAID: my life would be no more.
He was coming to take me away
To a place where I would stay.
I would be there for all eternity
And that my soul was finally free.
It would be a happier place
Where I would see a friendly face.
I SAID: are you not the “ grim reaper’?
HE SAID: oh no! I was your guardian angel
Here on earth, and your guardian
Till you reach that final sleep.
And when you open your eyes again
You will be with family and friends.
I will help you to earn your wings
For in heaven, that’s the normal thing.
Not every death is with the reaper
A lot of this is so much deeper

The Lords Path

there is a choice that i must make
of which path that i should take.
i was shown the path that leads
to my death and destruction.

but! i must teach my fellow man
the life of a new construction.

the life of following the LORDS word
so it can be taught and heard.

seeing the path which ahead lies.
do i continue and give it a try?

is my faith strong enough
for this path is mighty tough.
so here i stand with choice in hand.
do i help my fellow man?

do i give up my life so that the

Most Beautiful Woman In The World

She is the most beautiful woman in the world.
Yet! She doesn’t have fancy clothes, or makeup.
She doesn’t even have a first name, nor does she speak.
But people come from all over the world just to see
Our beautiful MISS LIBERTY.

She sits in our harbor and greets all human race
From the air, land, or from the sea
She has become a part of me.
She fills every heart with a warm glow
And day to day she puts on a show.

She stands on a mound with her arm held high
Holding freedoms torch to the sky.
Her robe is the robe of justice
And she wears it quite well
Look at her closely and you can tell.

Freedom is not really free - for you may
Have to fight for liberty

Alone And Lonely

Surrounded by people laughing and joking
But I stand alone, my heart is broken.
Why is it that the lonely get so depressed
And their emotions put to a test.
Why is it that we stand alone
And in our hearts no light is shone.

Why do the lonely feel so out of place
And their feelings show on their face.
Why is it that we stand alone?
We all have feelings, that is known.

Alone on a crowded street
and the pitter patter Of every ones feet.
On a bus or on a train, you still feel the same.

Alone amongst family and friends
I felt that I was at my wits end.
No one to turn to, no one to call my own
I was feeling down and all alone.

Under The Gun

most all women love to critcize and complain
but if they did'nt- they'd find themselves in pain.
they say they want this and that done.
but! it's the men that are under the gun.

to hear them talk they are always right
if you disagree you've got a fight.
then they sit on their tail
just to see if you will fail
and when they see that you do it right
it's because you're in their sight.

then you come across a woman with a rare quality
on her loved one she uses psychology.
she then proceeds to say how a good job was done
and uses the 'what if'
if we take this piece and put it there
it will go great with that chair.

she has already learned how to work the man

I Am Your Instrument Lord

(9/25/12)

I am but an instrument in thy hands
How I am to be used - I may not understand.
You are my doctor and the surgeon in my life
You will cut out the bad, and make things right.

You are the blood that gives me life
And thru you - I'll see paradise.

I became like a wanderer lost in the desert
With nothing in sight.
But you became my guiding light.

You became my water and my food
And strengthened me every step of the way
And showed me how to pray.

I was like an empty pitcher of wine
Till you filled me up with your light divine.

Ageless Love

Age is just a number repeated by everyone.
But when I look in your eyes I see the setting sun.
The clouds seem to surround you, and they dissipate
With your smile, and I know with you
It will stay for quite a while.
Your hair may be changing its color
And you may be finding it hard to walk.
But even with your age, men will still stop and gawk.
For your inner beauty shines like the sun in the sky
But I know they can’t get you, for your heart is still mine.
It’s not the age that makes us old
It’s when we lose the love, that we become cold.
Let that love shine in you as the rising sun
And it will spread throughout the world
Until your days are done.
So fear not your age, for your beauty
Is still locked up in a cage.
And I have come to see as we get older
Our love grows stronger and even more bolder.
That you no longer care to hide it from the world
