I
strolled down the walk,
And
in my mind’s eye I saw:
“Life
is what we think”
Then
I heard the birds call:
“We
worry for nothing!”
We
wait upon the morning dew,
And
God feeds us daily
So,
tell me, what do you do?
We
choose to sing every day,
And
we depend upon Him –
What
does worrying change?
So
let your life’s troubles be!
Then
I listened to them . . .
As
they sang from the tree!

It’s
heaven on earth
When
I’m in your arms –
Here
I can find a safe place
To
put my worries to rest,
And
dry the tears on my face!
Life’s
troubles I can erase,
And
know your gentle charms
That
only a woman can birth!
Yes,
my life is a mess,
But
with you I have no sorrow,
With
my head upon your breast
I
will wait for tomorrow
Knowing
I’ve passed life’s test –
And
put all my worries to rest!

I
heard you, little broken heart,
Like
shattered glass against a wall!
From
the darkest corridors you call –
Sadness
lingers in my soul, so sad!
And
there is nowhere to start . . .
Remembering
the love you once had.
The
room is still just before dawn
These
memories are tearing me apart,
I
heard you, little broken heart –
(As
I lie here all alone)
Never
another love like hers, dear soul,
And
now this pain only I know!

Winter,
O winter,
Sing me a song, please!
A
song of wind, and time,
Of empty fields, and Barron trees,
I
will sit and not complain,
And
feel the coldness of your pain!
Of
animals curled in their caves,
And
mountains of white maze.
Winter,
O winter,
Sing
of things that stir my heart,
Like
frozen lakes of perfect art –
And
upon your lyrics I will write:
“I
lie in the darkness of night
where
moonbeams give me light,
and
only here my world seems right!”

Kisses
gently upon her feet
The
perfume was so sweet,
As
I touched her skin –
Now
let that moment soak in,
A
moonlit night – spirits high,
A
passion that makes one cry!
Then,
a thought came to me,
“I
will never sadden thee!”
Feeling
goosebumps protrude
Satisfaction
I must conclude –
Luminous
shadows on the wall,
As
I hear her voice call:
“Please
don’t let this night end
(A
perfect love) is never a sin!”

The
room is filled with smoke,
And
the music is so damn loud!
I’m
a lost soul dying in a crowd
With
a heart, some woman broke!
The
ice in the glass slowly melts
As
I drown in my own sorrow –
She
was just a notch on my belt.
I
will find another by tomorrow!
The
answers are in this glass,
And
I will drown her memory!
Here
is to them all, “Kiss my ass!”
If
only her spirit would let me be –
Then
I realized, this is about me,
And
all the tears in my whiskey!

Call
to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you
have not known.
“Incline
your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live.
I
will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you
with my eye upon you.
My
sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal
life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
For
the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and
discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
All
Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness so that we can be equipped for
every good work.
The
law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
the
testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
the
precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the
commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The
heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day
to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
There
is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.
Their
voice goes out through all the earth,
and
their words to the end of the world.
Call
to me and I will answer you and will tell you great and hidden things that you
have not known.”
“Let
me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to
his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
“Your
word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

I
was thinking of you,
And
something came up!
“Do
you remember that night
When
the stars shined bright?”
We
were lying upon the grass,
And
just letting time pass . . .
I
remember to love in your eyes,
As
the whippoorwill made her cries –
I
was thinking of you,
And
something came up!
“Why
today that I now remember,
I
mean, it’s November!
Maybe
you were thinking of me,
And
your spirit won’t let me be!
I
was thinking of you,
And
now I’m feeling a bit blue!

Alone
in bed
The night is so still
Silence
surrounds me
Like shadows on a hill,
And
a feeling comes over me
Pounding in my head,
Why
am I alone,
And why is it truth I dread?
Thoughts
of her
My heart is filled with desire
O
this loneliness
Burns like a raging fire!
I
feel the coldness of night
Like snow on a hill,
I
lie in this darkness
Knowing love broke my will!
And
I know that I
Will have to face tomorrow
The
sad truth
Only I can bear this sorrow!
