I Give you a Rose

I give you a rose,
from my heart to yours,
nothing so sweeter,
never so fine,
i touch your lips,
with my lips,
so tender are you,
to hold in my arms,
wished this moment,
could last for eternity.

By the Woods one day

By the woods one day i walked,
until i saw the blue bird making his noise,
in a way that he speaks to us, so wisely,
birds are so into their way, why can't man,
do th same in his ways, so into this world

The Storm within Us

Far from me there lays a great storm,
it comes to me from the outer distance,
in a sudden charge like a raging bull,
in from no where and out to utter darkness,
until i find myself in a great sea of madness

Take My Heart

Take my heart
dear wash it
with your love
so fine.

Place your heart
in place of mine
for awhile so
your kindness,

will rub off
on me and
lets place
our thoughts together,

so we will be
in one mind
and one
accord forever more.

Murphys Hole

Murphy loves to lie
in holes that he has
dug for himself so well.

The comfort zone is
his well dugged out hole
when outside in the fresh air.

By the tree or by,
the side of the house
he is at home there
and so carefree.

Hearts Can

Hearts can be used
to hate or love.

Hearts can do kindness
for others in need.

Hearts can be giving,
Hearts can be greedy.

Hearts can be evil,
Hearts can be good.

Most of all is this,
if I lose you,

My heart will be broken.

Sounds of Nature

Sounds of Nature,
brings an echo
to my ear.

So gentle are,
their call
to my heart

Seeing this all,
birds making music,
to my ear

Sweet smell of
flowers still developing
oh, the spendor of it all

Sounds of Nature
brings an echo
to my ear.

A name so sweet

There is a name, that is so sweet,
i love to hear it everyday
it's a name, oh, so complete

His name is Jesus, whom i love
he's as beautiful,
as a dove

I want to follow him, all the way
in the church, where he put me,
that is where, I should stay.

Death Touching Me

Death is so close,
yet so far away
looking around
i see life.

Closing my eyes
only seeing death,
no future i see,
only despair.

Death touching
my shoulder
so many times
in my life.

So much heartache
have i seen
death closing in
so near is it now.

Bobbie Jo's Shoes

Bobbie Jo went
to town to buy
some shoes, but
once again she was
told, no shoes here.

'Now, Now repiled Bobbie
Jo, why no shoes.'
'Can't you see
Bobbie Jo, right,

in front of you,
the store burned
down last night.'

Poor Bobbie Joe,
she can't win,
for losing.
