LETTERS FROM HELL

 

I come every day and sit in my car –

I can see each soldier passing through the gate,

And yes it’s the waiting that I hate!

It’s been two long years since I have seen you,

And I can still remember kissing you goodbye!

They say the war is over, and I pray it’s true!

But I have been so afraid that you would die –

I have read your letters over and over . . .

You were only eighteen when you were drafted,

And in your letters you say you now feel forty!

Lost in a foreign land that seems so far away –

And I pray that this war has not changed you!

I know I don’t know a tenth of the horror –

I could tell you were protecting me from hell!

Time has stood still – it’s now been 3 months,

And today your mother gives me a call –

She said, “Two uniformed soldiers came by”

Her voice was shaking and I could hear her cry –

I fell to the floor – I’m screaming out to God!

Why God! Why God! He was only twenty,

And I have waited so long for his return!

Then the Lord kindly reminded me:

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not

know what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1

A PIECE OF HEAVEN

 

A trip from Murphy to Manteo . . .

It’s 547.5 miles in case you didn’t know –

With Blue Mountains and valley’s green

Sceneries like your eyes have never seen!

So surely you can hear Carolina calling –

For moments your soul has been longing!

Mountains, piedmont, and sandy shores

It’s a quality of life like never before –

Grandfather Mountain is standing tall …

Where you can hear the Red Hawk’s call!

Views are so spectacular for endless miles

Where one’s mind can rest for a while –

A piece of heaven that most don’t know,

“A perfect place on earth you need to go!”

CULTURE OF INSANITY

 

It’s all by plan and design –

They have brainwashed our minds!

Over and over they tell a lie,

And a weak mind never asks why!

It’s on TV so it has to be true –

Indoctrinated into what we can view!

So why should we think for ourselves?

Leave the books on the shelves –

We don’t need a brain – we have a phone

It even tells us how to get home!

Memorizing facts – that’s old school

So to hell with the golden rule!

It’s all by plan and design –

They have brainwashed our minds!

NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP

 

To my words you should heed,

   Never, never give up!

Eliminate your heart from greed,

   Never, never give up!

Then you can live life in peace,

Because, the world you can release,

And your happiness will increase –

   Never, never give up!

WE JUST NEED FAITH

 

I know a place where we never grow old,

   And time is something will never know –

And darkness has no place to hide,

   Where light will always show!

 

So today ask yourself, “Do I have faith?”

   Is it the love of God, you know?

Where are you going after this life is over?

   Search your heart – the truth will show!

 

God is always with us – we just need faith!

   We have to take inventory on what is real,

Look at the universe – God set it all in place,

   And to the truth we cannot ever yield!

 

I know a place where we never grow old,

And the streets are paved with gold!

TAKING AMERICA BACK

 

The things they did teach me in school,

And I do remember the golden rule –

Over my heart I placed my hand,

And I pledged allegiance to this land!

Indoctrinated to put America first –

The national anthem we had to rehearse!

This is something I will never forget,

And there’s nothing better I’ve found yet!

I still stand proud and watch old glory fly,

And for America I would still die!

So don’t you wave your flag in my face –

The undertakers will lay you in your place!  

You liberals can be as crazy as you like,

But know this, “We’re taking America back!”

TOAST THE WINNER

 

In any situation we cannot control,

Politics and religion we can’t argue,

The best thing is to let it go!

But I can still love you!

 

Someone will always have to win

So don’t be a sore loser!

You will have a chance again . . .

And maybe the road will be smoother!

 

If you had won you would’ve gloated!

So please show some class –

Its life, we all cannot get promoted –

Let’s toast the winner – fill your glass!

 

Focus on the real problems we face –

Walk slowly – there’s no need to race!

MEMORIES THAT LINGER

 

“Come, my lover,” said a heart one day,

“Come to my bed and let’s play –

It’s this heart you surely know,

I long for you – even when it’s cold!”

 

When the moon shadows fall . . .

Sounds of my spirit you’ll hear it call –

And when your heart is sad and blue,

I’ll sing old love songs to you!

 

“Yes darling,” my hands upon your skin,

Your body will cry out, “Let it never end!”

And I’ll take you where you’ve never been –

Ah, when love is done right it’s not a sin!

 

“Lover, I’ll tell you things that you know,

The truth in a heart will always show –

And after the love we have made . . .

Remember the moonlight where you laid!

 

Singing and dancing – where love went,

Sounds of heartbeats, and feeling content –

O my lover, the night you came to my bed,

And the memories that linger in my head!

TO MY LIBERAL FRIENDS

 

From Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate Park,

People stand with their hand over their heart –

All that came before us that fought and died!

Their blood was shed where you now reside –

So don’t wave another country’s flag in my face!

Unless it’s my fist you want to taste!

Freedom was fought for – so you have no right –

That’s why our families can sleep safely at night!

If you don’t love America then please leave!

You have the right to believe what you believe –

If you think you have it so bad here . . .

Then you can always move to Nigeria!

I love this nation, and my life I would gladly give,

And to my Liberal friends I still have to forgive!
