Too live a life of sin

Too live a life of sin
Where does it all begin?
Existing as long as the earth
Doomed was I, at my birth

Personality of addiction
No avoiding this affliction
For destiny designed
This, my evil mind

Never allowed a choice
Following an evil voice
Shouts inside my head
Ceasing only when I’m dead

Eyes are the window to the soul

Eyes are the windows to the soul
Throughout my life I’ve been told
To see into anothers heart
Eyes are the place to start

Be they hazel, green or blue
Black, brown color changing too
Matters not what color they be
They show what one needs to see

Through these windows the truth lies
Emotionally nothing hides
Clear for all too recognize
Displayed to the world in ones eyes

Evident are anger, lust and surprise
Fear, truth, lust, hope and despise
Happiness, sorrow, and confusion
Inside familiar eyes there is no illusion

I want to believe

I want to believe in heaven there is a place
More comforting than a mothers heart
I want to believe there is a secure embrace
For all, when it becomes our time to part

I want to believe eternal peace, exists there
How one arrives has no consequence
I want to believe it’s full of love and care
Passing through a gate with no fence

I want to believe souls are free to roam
And warm precious smiles abound
I want believe it’s a familiar home
Everyone with friends and family around

I want to believe no one feels alone
Always there’s music and dance
I want to believe angels have flown
And all there will get that chance

She Don't Love Me

I love her but she don’t love me
She thinks she love another man
And he’s no good you understand

I love her but she don’t love me
Running round drinking every night
He’ll never treat my baby right

I love her but she don’t love me
She don’t know the things he does
She don’t know the women he loves

I love her but she don’t love me
How long before she quits the chase
Seeing chasing that man is a total waste

I love her but she don’t love me
He’s not the kind to settle down
Breaking hearts all over town

The birth of a family

The birth of a family where does it start
Your parents, their parents all play a part

Virtues instilled deep within us all form
Long before an innocent child is born

Family history does have its role
Hardships and struggles take their toll

Ignorance and prejudice often passed down
From generation to generation often it’s found

Intolerance, addictions and other afflictions
Take their own form, in each new addition

Contorting and mixing contaminating innocence
Frequently unnoticed, unknown the consequence

Labor it’s said, is the worst physical pain on earth
Fortunately, that subsides after the child birth
