As
I sit and hold your hand
I
hope you understand –
I
will never make a demand
I’m
just a broken man!
All
these feelings I hold . . .
You
just simply need to know –
It’s
this broken heart I show
I
hope I’m not being too bold?
More
than these words can say,
And
all the games I’ve played –
And
the times I’ve been afraid,
But
darling this is a new day!
As
I sit and hold your hand
Please
forgive this broken man!

Thoughts
in my mind are stuck!
(A
beautiful girl – an old pick-up truck)
The
night was young – the moon was gold!
Mountaintops
covered from an April snow –
The
windows were tinted with fog,
As
we heard the sounds from a Bullfrog!
Soft
music playing on the radio . . .
Our
blood was rushing from head to toe!
Was
it love or lust – how could I know?
Lost
in time as moments unfold . . .
Some
will call it luck or was it simply fate,
But
passion is always better than hate!
Thoughts
in my mind are stuck!
Of
memories left in an old pick-up truck!

In
the throes of time
All
the things that come to mind –
Reasoning
hasn’t come yet
Lost
emotions stuck on “regret!”
Life
can be a one-way street
Where
ignorance and wisdom meet!
In
truth, yesterday is gone . . .
Forget
about right or wrong!
(Today
is a new day)
I’m
still alive – hooray!
There
is no point in looking back –
Open
the fridge – have a snack!
I
must live for today,
And
tomorrow won’t get in my way!

You
say you love me,
But
it’s your actions I see!
I
understand things are complex,
But
here I sit – what is next?
Words
and actions have double meanings,
And
how can I tell which way you’re leaning!
Love
is just a word that you say . . .
Then
you turn and look the other way!
It’s
hard to figure out your intentions
Your
words are vague – like directions!
You
say you love me,
And
I just need to let it be!
“I’ll
address this sometime later,
See
you later alligator.”

None
will be silent,
None
will be silent!
Even
the wind, oh wind,
Hidden
in the shadows,
Beneath
the gray skies,
As
the ground trembles
And
no one cares.
But
the truth lies in all of us,
Our
names are unknown,
Not
one, not one
On
our lips, words spoken,
But
who understands?
And
issues are still unsolved,
But
truth still outweighs a lie!
(no
one cares anymore
And
we will live and die alone.)
Be
still, oh soul!
Cry,
heart! Cry heart!
Tomorrow
will come!
God
will win!
God
will win!
In
the silence of time!

“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

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.
