All That I Have
tenderly i sleep
gently i weep
softly i cry
tears i try to hide
pains in my heart
searching for a start
living a lie
love seems to die
don't seem to care
love i have to share
given a break
plans i must make
got to get back
put my life on track

Old Age And Out To Pasture
when is it that we are put out to pasture?
when our minds and bodies we can no longer master.
while in our teens everything is great
at 20 - everything seems to be fate
at 30 - we're in our prime
at 40- we become sublime
at 50- we go downhill
at 60- we lose our will
at 70- they say it's time
at 80- we've lost our mind
at 90- it's our time to go
at 100- your guess is as good as mine
but we're working overtime.

Tender
tender is the heart, that tosses and turns
tender is the heart that wants to learn
tender is the heart that you see
tender are the hearts of you and me
tenderly i look in your eyes
tenderly i see the fire rise
tenderly i touch your face
tenderly i feel your embrace
your love has fallen into a tender touch
and that is the reason i love you so much.
now with all the tenderness i give
i know that our love will live.

Stupidity***************1978
i was feeling pretty low.
everything went wrong, no matter
which way i'd go.
i felt really down and out
and i had an argument with my spouse.
she could never seem to tell me
when something seems to go wrong.
she starts to scream and holler
and i feel i don't belong.
it seems that she goes through the agonies
and i through the ecstacies.
but yet it seems that it was
a love meant to be.
this is what i call 'stupidity'.

I Am ' SKY #4 series
' i am ' sky
my colors are my moods
' i am' light blue when i'm at peace
' i am ' dark blue when i'm troubled
' i am ' dark clouds when i cry for justice
' i am ' light clouds when i'm in thought
the stars are my teeth in a smile
with the universe.
the lightning bolts is my anger in full fury.
the heavy rains are my tears.
the light rains is my contentment
of a new birth.
the rainbows is my heart at rest.
' i am' SKY.

The Love
to kiss your lips-to touch your hair
to always feel your presence near
to see the smile upon your face
to hold you in a warm embrace
to sense the presence of your love
to feel you within me-giving me a start
and putting a glow in my heart.
to feel your breath upon my face
never leaving a sign or trace
of the feelings bottled up inside
and let it go before its time
this is what love should be
touching each other in perfect harmony.

Wedding Vows of a wife
i give you my heart as a token of my love
for JESUS filled it from above.
i searched my whole life through
for a man such as you.
i saw in you all that i desired
and you set my heart on fire.
i see that you are a caring and a non violent man
and praised me when i took a stand.
on all that i believe and feel to be true.
that's the reason i have fallen in love with you.
so on this beautiful day in my life
i consent to be your wife.

My Daughter
you are my daughter, my everything.
you mean more than the world to me.
you captured my heart at your birth
and removed all my inner hurt.
you softened my heart to the
beauties of the world.
you are my little girl.
you are the one who set me free
and made a man/woman out of me.
you showed me that responsibility
was buried deep inside of me.
you showed me the beauties
that a daughter could bring
and taught my heart how to sing.

How Many Tears
how many tears must i shed-before i lay down my head?
how many heartaches must i go through-before i belong to you?
what will it take for you to be mine
must i wait untill the end of time?
or will your heart start to weaken
when my love is what you're seeking.
open your eyes and look around
don't put my love to the ground.
how many tears will it take, before you finally see
that their is no love stronger
than the one i give to thee.

the Touch**********************1979
i looked up into the deep blue sky
little white clouds were floating by
i looked upon this young girls face
she held it down in disgrace.
i looked upon her cheeks so fair
she looked up to me to see if i care
i looked at her with content
and she knew right there it was heaven sent.
she smiled at me, and our eyes then touched
we knew then, it was much to much.
our hearts entwined and her lips met mine
we felt right there it was a love divine.
