Roses
are sad,
And
violets are glad!
Women
are not all the same,
And
I guess it’s men to blame!
Gender
affirmation – a bunch of crap –
I
guess common sense is taking a nap!
Our
world, I just shake my head,
And
it makes me want to stay in bed!
In
truth, “The Devil is alive and well,”
And
he is taking the world to hell!
The
roses may be sad,
And
the violets may be glad!
But
we all must make a choice:
“Listen
to the world or God’s voice.”

It’s
3AM and the darkness is still
How
I got home I have no clue –
By
the porcelain god I kneel!
I
thought, “Why kill yourself?”
Because
whiskey is my friend:
(Remembering
the night, she left!)
I’m
always there until the last call –
Drowning
her memory with Jack,
Was
it love? Hell, I don’t recall!
I
can’t remember being so sick,
But
I’m sure I’ll do it again –
Drink
less – now that’s the trick!
It
was not my fault – she just left,
And
I’m stuck here with myself!

Good
morning, Lord
It’s
me again . . .
I
was just wondering:
“When
will this life end?”
It’s
been quite a journey
With
just You and me –
The
things my eyes have seen,
But
it’s heaven I long to see!
I
know I’ve made a lot of mistakes,
And
I know You forgave them all!
I
know Lord, the world deceives me,
But
I’ve always heard Your call –
I
remember what James had to say:
“Life
is like a vapor that appears
A
little time and then vanishes away.”

Someday
I know you will know
That
this heart belonged to you –
You
will know before I’m through!
The
inner workings of my soul –
Have
you seen the sunset?
Have
you ever felt totally alone?
Have
you heard a sad song?
Have
you ever had regrets?
Well
love, I’ve had my part of pain!
I
know how it feels to die
When
I’ve shouted out your name!
And
I know how it feels to cry –
Darling,
life will never be the same
It’s
like walking in yesterday’s rain!

Another
night of unrest –
It
seems my life is such a mess!
I
wish I knew what to do
All
I can think about is you!
I
know it’s just a matter of time
When
I’ve totally lost my mind!
What
is it that I must prove –
Do
I just wait for your next move?
The
years are slipping away,
And
tomorrow is another day,
But
it seems you just don’t care
That
your love is like a snare!
Another night of unrest –
Only
with you can I find rest!

Shadows
cast on the mountains of blue,
And
anymore we don’t know what is true –
A
world designed to keep us all in fear,
And
not to believe that the end is near –
To
keep us distracted from God’s truth,
And
control the innocence of our youth!
But
God says for us not to fear,
And
to know that He is always near . . .
So,
I say, turn the noise off, and relax
Listen
to the Violin or the blues’ Sax –
All
that we can ever control is our mind,
So,
tell me, “Why are we wasting time?”
Shadows
cast on the mountains of blue,
Is
the snow moon talking to you?
