THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE

 

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning

Of knowledge!”

“The quest for truth begins with humility

And reverence for God.”

“Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

But knowledge is useless without love!

“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”

“To your faith comes goodness, and to

Goodness, knowledge.”

“I want their hearts to be encouraged and

Joined together in love, so that they may

“Have all the riches of assured

Understanding and have knowledge of

God’s mystery.”

“If I have the gift of prophecy and

Understanding all mysteries and all

Knowledge, and if I have the faith so that

I can move mountains but do not have love,

I am nothing.”

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him

Be the glory both now and to the day of

Eternity.”  Amen

FLOWERS ON THE WALL

 

Looking at the flowers on the wall

As I heard yesterday call . . .

Memories are somehow forgotten

Like apples on the ground rotten –

The storms of life now fade,

As time becomes another charade!

I stand and look over a corn field,

And this sadness won’t yield –

What I’ve done can’t be undone

The bell has already been rung!

I participated in it all . . .

And now, it’s a heartache I recall!

Looking at the flowers on the wall.

IT’S LIFE

 

The world will have to shake

Before people will ever awake!

Brainwashed, we all have become

Common sense has nowhere to run!

It’s not our fault – it’s all by design

(The powers to be) control our mind!

Our faces stuck in a cell phone

No creative thoughts of our own!

“It’s life,” we rationalize everything

Perfect excuses – the songs we sing!

Flying cars – hell we can’t wait –

No one cares about the pearly gate!

The world will have to shake

Before people will ever awake!

A BETTER CHOICE

 

I walked into the room . . .

The reaction was as cold as a tomb –

“You never hear a word I say,

And you always want things your way!”

“You have lost your mind,” In my defense

You are always straddling the fence!

Things are not always black and white,

And why do you have the need to be right?

Men just look at things differently –

So why can’t you women just let it be?

“No there is not an answer to everything!”

Accept reality and don’t always complain!

“I know,” you just want to be heard,

But you see men can’t find the right word!

It’s okay – I’m sorry I raise my voice!

I love you too – yes, that’s a better choice.

FIGHTING WITH ME

The days move so fast . . .

And time will not always last –

It seems I turn around and it’s gone

Like an old forgotten love song –

Reality is sometimes hard to accept,

Promises made but seldom kept!

Thinking of mountains I climbed,

And all the words that I rhymed,

But time still doesn’t wait . . .

And its reality I shouldn’t hate!

Tomorrow is never a guarantee

So why am I fighting with me?

Moments in time I will have to live

It’s something that life must give!

IN MY ARMS TONIGHT

 

Touching you – my heart pounds!

It like sweet dew on the ground –

Your perfume I love to smell . . .

It’s the truth I must tell!

Then it’s when I look in your eyes

The sounds of passion cries!

I try to understand your heart –

I want to know every broken part,

And I want to kiss all your scars

Before they write your memoirs!

I will carry your sad regrets . . .

As this heart pounds in my chest –

Just a chance – I’ll make it right,

As you sleep in my arms tonight.

RHYTHM OF YOUR HEART

 

Follow the rhythms of your heart

It’s like a precious piece of art!

Just accept what you feel,

And to your truth never yield!

Feel the joy of the human touch

The simple things we need so much –

In moments when we’re all alone

Our inner soul is shown –

“Passion is more than just a need

It’s where the heart plants a seed!”

Times when I thought I was though

All the roads led me back to you!

The simple things we need so much –

Are the moments we just need touch!
