YOU KNOW

 

You know I tried

You know I cried

You know I almost died

When you went away –

Yes, I remember that day

When I lost all hope

Like a sail without a boat!

Drifting in the wind,

Enduring pains bitter end!

You know I almost died

Hanging on to my pride,

But to this I must decide:

“Should I admit my love

Or die like a lonely Dove?”

RANT AND RAVE

 

Pour me another glass,

And let the world kiss my ass!

Look how our leaders steal us blind,

And we just pretend everything is fine,

Well, for me I have had enough!

Life for the average man is tough –

Answers are at the bottom of this glass,

So, let the world kiss my ass!

Being stupid is not a good excuse –

Another whiskey – I’m feeling loose!

Spirits loosen the tongue –

Then truth has nowhere to run . . .

We all just sit back and rant and rave

While the rich man digs our grave!

Pour me another glass,

And let the world kiss my ass!

DON’T BE DISMAYED

 

I walk life’s lonely road . . .

With a mind carrying a heavy load –

I know there is truth, but it’s hidden,

And for some it seems forbidden!

But soon there will be a day . . .

Written in the Bible the Lord did say:

“The time is coming when everything

that is covered up will be revealed,

and all that is secret will be made

known to all.”

So, with God’s word my load is now lite,

And in His truth, I can delight!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong

and courageous. Do not be dismayed,

for the Lord your God is with you

wherever you go.” Amen!

GOOD AND EVIL

Looking at all the white stuff,

And knowing many are having it tough!

Six to twelve inches on the ground,

And there is no way in hell to get around!

Is weather modification at play?

That’s what all the conspiracies say!

Just a fact – the Devil is alive and well,

And if true, these people are going to hell!

Power and money – caring less of mankind

An endless quest to control our mind!

And there is no way we’ll ever understand!

So don’t expect a helping hand –

“We all will be judged by our deeds –

Both good and evil – done during our lives.”

TRYING TO KEEP UP

 

Another day in time and space

Trying to keep up with the rat race –

Always chasing the almighty dollar,

But one must be a scholar!

This endless path we seem to grind

With less caring in one’s mind!

I guess we think we will live forever,

But no one I know has ever!

Big money or little it’s all the same

Leaving us with someone to blame!

Human nature is a strange animal

Always pushing and seldom pull –

Another day in time and space

A troubled world we all must face!

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO

 

The first time I saw you

Well, I must admit –

I have never been the same!

You sparked a flame

That has never gone out –

A fire deep down in my soul

That makes me want to shout!

You should not have winked at me

With those big blue eyes –

Yes, that has led to my demise –

You knew what you were doing!

These words you are viewing,

And I can see that cute smile –

Innocence, like a child . . .

The first time I saw you

So now, what am I going to do?

LOVE IS GOLD

The more learned you become

The less you seem to know –

Like a heart filled with love

Maybe you didn’t know

Or my kisses that are so sweet . . .

Off the ground comes your feet!

A touch so gentle . . .

Can reach the depths of your soul!

That my dear love is gold –

Passion that fills these blue eyes,

A love that can’t be compromised!

Let these arms hold you tight,

And you will feel safe all night!

The more learned you become

“You may miss what love is about –

This heart of love – have no doubt!”
