If
I could massage my brain
Then
maybe I’d ease this pain
Or
is it just an emotional thing
Like
sitting in drenching rain!
But
all in all, there is still hope –
It’s
like fishing without a boat
Or
when someone gets your goat
Now
hang that on your rope!
Fourth
of July is a special day
Hotdogs
and Beer, O yay, O yay!
While
we waste our time away,
But
for this nation we can pray!
If
I could massage my brain
Then
maybe I’d not go insane!

Mother
nature and Father time conceived
What
they produced you won’t believe!
Yes!
They had to admit it was a S.O.B,
And
this picture I’ll paint for you to see!
All
the mountains cried out with joy –
It
was not a girl, but a handsome boy!
The
winds danced along the streams . . .
The
clouds at night had pretty dreams –
All
the stars came out at night . . .
And
the sun by day gave them light!
Mother
nature and Father time conceived
A
beautiful task that most can’t achieve –
This
fulfilled a lifetime of longing . . .
A
son that had a (Sense of Belonging!)

By
a single thread we hang,
But
when we come together,
We
create an unbreakable bond!
When
we “wait” upon the Lord
We
intertwine our lives with His!
Actively
waiting, we devote an
Eager
expectation that requires
Faith
and endurance of oneself!
“Those
who “Qavah” the Lord shall
Renew
their strength; they shall
Mount
up with wings like eagles!”
Qavah
for the lord; be strong, and
Let
your heart take courage; yes,
Qavah
for the Lord always!
Don’t
sit passively – stretch out
Your
soul; lean on the promises of
God,
and trust in His deliverance!

I
held a rose in my hand
The
velvet touch had no demand –
A
throne pierced my skin
Like
a love that knows no end!
Tears
begin to fill my eyes
And
I know my soul needs to cry!
Regrets
seen to sneak in
Like
petals blowing in the wind-
Answers
I need to find . . .
But
yesterday was lost in time!
O
such beauty my eyes behold,
And
tomorrow – I don’t know!
But
today I held a perfect rose
Lacking
words I can’t compose!

In
the shadows of dawn . . .
At
the keyboard all alone –
Thoughts
racing in my mind
I
have nothing but time!
O
the words I try to form –
It
seems my spirit is torn . . .
Thoughts
from long ago
Of
a love I used to know!
It’s
funny the paths we take
My
mind is barely awake –
Thinking
of a dream I had,
And
remembering I was sad!
In
the shadows of dawn . . .
You
won’t leave me alone!

In
the shadows
Where
darkness will hide
Or
in a proud heart
Where
arrogance can reside!
Mere
temperament you say,
It’s
just being a man!
(But
pride goeth before the fall)
Meekness
we must understand!
“I’ll
get mine!”
Whatever
the cost –
It’s
the ego we must feed
Money
makes us the boss!
Darkness
hides in a soul,
And
it’s God they never know!

Every
day we can do a good deed,
Try, it’s not that hard!
When
helping others we succeed,
Try, it’s not that hard!
Then
the Lord will draw so near,
And
then one’s heart will feel glad,
Helping
others feels so dear!
Try, it’s not that hard!
Storms
of life affects us all –
None of us are immune!
Upon
the Lord we all will call,
None of us are immune!
Today
we have the world by the tale,
And
tomorrow one’s heart is sad,
In
a flash things can turn to hell!
I know, I have been there!
Storms
of life will call us out –
I know, I have been there!
Do
a good deed – let others shout!
