Homeage To God
I love you, Lord
I really do.
In God, I will always
Put my trust.
But the Lord is not mine alone.
I close my eyes and realize
His presence lives inside
Every one of us.
The spirit of God lives
Within us all.
His infinite, divine power
Surrounds us so that we may feel
His love.
It flows within us
So that we may glow,
That gift of life He made so.
Just deal with the real
The essence of God.
Live the lessons of your lives
Wisely.
Just call out His name.
Liberate and release...
I really do.
In God, I will always
Put my trust.
But the Lord is not mine alone.
I close my eyes and realize
His presence lives inside
Every one of us.
The spirit of God lives
Within us all.
His infinite, divine power
Surrounds us so that we may feel
His love.
It flows within us
So that we may glow,
That gift of life He made so.
Just deal with the real
The essence of God.
Live the lessons of your lives
Wisely.
Just call out His name.
Liberate and release...

Raindrops
Raindrops dancing on warm pavement
Creating flowing veins into crystal clear rivers
Diamond dots splashing decks changing color patterns
Choreographing intricate dance steps to nature’s beat
Raindrops in passionate love affairs with thirsty leaves
Smothering with gentle caresses and cool kisses
Cloaking them in clothes of welcoming moisture
Changing their colors to a more vibrant green
Raindrops chasing birds and insects for cover
Chipmunks scurrying for cover in dark holes
Flowers greedily opening petals for wet kisses
Rocks...

Freedom
A right to live
A right to give
A right to learn
A right to earn
A right to choose
And sometimes refuse
A right to express
What we want to suppress
A right to care
A right to love
A right to worship
The God above
A right to dream
A right to create
A right to be happy
And to celebrate
A right to achieve
In what we believe
A right to speak
And to be unique
A right to fight
For what is right

The Rainbow
When the rains come
And after the rains go,
The sun will shine bright,
And outcomes the rainbow.
Gleaming in the air
Its colors brightly are shown
Visible from afar or near
Telling a tale to this day known.
A promise made and kept to this day
A story of love ever so binding
So true its hard to believe
But search the sky, its there for the finding.
In its many colors
For the eye to see
His love, He sends to us
The promise He made and its to be.
So look to the Heavens

Great is Jesus
Once I was lost in sin,
Thank God He took me in.
He turned me inside out,
Gave me much to shout about!
Great is Jesus our Savior,
He fills my life with flavor.
His love I cannot define,
It feels like warm sunshine!
There is nothing He cant do,
He makes all things like new.
The Lord renewed my heart,
He gave me a fresh start!
I couldn’t live without Christ,
He gives new meaning to my life.
More and more each day I see,
The Lord has all I need!
If we will turn to the Lord,

Have Faith
Things go wrong, that’s part of life,
There will be aggravation and plenty of strife.
Time’s of hardship coupled with pain,
And days that the sunshine is covered by rain.
No one said that things would go your way,
You’ll just have to live day by day.
Place your trust in Heaven above,
Through good times and bad, you’ll have God’s love.
For God is there both night and day,
He’s with you at both work and play.
He’ll be your sunshine in the rain,
And He’ll be your comfort in your pain.

Beauty Is...
Beauty is seen through the eyes of my heart,
reaching, touching, seeing, from the inner depths of my soul.
Beauty takes command in any shape, size, or color,
of all living or dormant forms.
Beauty is the sun shining bright in the sky,
drying the teardrops of dew that cling to the petals of a rose.
Beauty is the fragrance of the flowers that bloom all around,
the miracles of nature in all its wondrous and splendid glory.
Beauty is the tree that grows so tall and strong,
with its branches reaching out toward God in the sky. ...

Give Love
You have to give love to receive love...
To heal old wounds,
To grow and learn to share again.
When you don’t give love, then you stop becoming a person.
You have to give love to receive love...
To touch and to feel life,
To make moments remembered,
Because they are precious.
When you don’t give love,
Then these moments cannot be regained.
You have to give love to receive love...
To learn to give again.
To bring out the beautiful you inside.
When you don’t give love,
Then the you inside becomes selfish.

Believe
Believe in Him and you’ll succeed,
Because He is our own true lead,
Guided by Him you cannot fail,
For it will not prevail.
He leads you to a better life,
With less worries and little strife,
And tells you of the great story,
Of His life and wondrous glory.
To believe you must trust in Him,
To help you through the path again,
Have patience and wait,
He will not hesitate.
Love Him with all your heart,
For He will never depart,

Save Our Mother Earth
Sweet Mother Earth, who gives us the life
Why do we hurt you so?
You give us beauty with such grace,
Yet we throw trash upon your face.
We pollute your waters and kill your trees
Without giving it a thought.
We poison the air and destroy your shield,
Soon, you will have no more to yield.
Don’t we know that this is our home
That we so thoughtlessly kill?
God, open our eyes that we may see
What we do now, is what will be.
My heart aches so to watch you dying
By our very own hands.
Fellow sons and daughters...
Why do we hurt you so?
You give us beauty with such grace,
Yet we throw trash upon your face.
We pollute your waters and kill your trees
Without giving it a thought.
We poison the air and destroy your shield,
Soon, you will have no more to yield.
Don’t we know that this is our home
That we so thoughtlessly kill?
God, open our eyes that we may see
What we do now, is what will be.
My heart aches so to watch you dying
By our very own hands.
Fellow sons and daughters...

Through The Eyes of a Child
Oh, but to see through the eyes of a child
To behold all the wonders they see
With inquisitive minds and open hearts
With the confidence to be ~ all they can be
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, but to see through the eyes of a child
With a child’s clarity
With the ability to behold things as they are
Without prejudice and bigotry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To see again, through the eyes of a child
To view life ~ optimistically
Where dreams are allowed to flow unchecked
Where minds are still open and free
...

The Waves & The Shore
The waves crash upon the shore,
As memories come to mind.
The waves all find a point,
They meet and crash together,
As if to form a bond.
Nothing can come in between that bond.
It’s like a strong friendship,
Or a strong love.
No matter what or who
Tries to change it,
The waves will always unite
With the shore and remain
as one.
As memories come to mind.
The waves all find a point,
They meet and crash together,
As if to form a bond.
Nothing can come in between that bond.
It’s like a strong friendship,
Or a strong love.
No matter what or who
Tries to change it,
The waves will always unite
With the shore and remain
as one.
