My Sister
My sister of life
My sister to love
My sister hand-picked
From the Lord above
My sister to quarrel
My sister to share
My sister to comfort
My sister of prayer
My sister for as long
As the Lord doth tarry
My sister for life
My sister named Mary
My sister to love
My sister hand-picked
From the Lord above
My sister to quarrel
My sister to share
My sister to comfort
My sister of prayer
My sister for as long
As the Lord doth tarry
My sister for life
My sister named Mary

Nothing
Nothing i could ever do or say
Could describe to you in any way
All your love has done
To help me through
So many times I felt so blue
You nurtured me through all these years
Gave so much of yourself
Even though I caused you tears
You helped me see through blinded eyes
The value of love
You are so wise
So this Valentine's Day
What you receive from me
Is my undying love, for all eternity
Thank you Mom

The Mother's Rose
What do you see,that tiny little face
Looking up at me
What will you do
Foretold in the prophecy
I hold you close to my breast
In our hay-filled nest
Choking back the tears
Swallowing my fears
I get to keep you for awhile
Oh how you make me smile
For a bit i forget,still knowing yet
Your path has been set
Those who are friends and
Those who are foes
Will seek to find
My fair Sharon's Rose
In time I know you will leave
And then I will surely grieve
But for now,with the Father above
We are strengthened and grounded in...

THE PSALMS OF DAVID DO ECHO
The psalms of David echo in my ear
The love of the Lord quiets and dispels
my fear
Glory of creation
Miracles of life
Enhances elation
Overcomes our strife
Give praise to the Lord
Through this He breathes life
Awakens hearts
Blinded eyes will see light
Praise to the Father
Forever to reign
Greatness and Glory
Forever the same
The love of the Lord quiets and dispels
my fear
Glory of creation
Miracles of life
Enhances elation
Overcomes our strife
Give praise to the Lord
Through this He breathes life
Awakens hearts
Blinded eyes will see light
Praise to the Father
Forever to reign
Greatness and Glory
Forever the same

I Laughed Today
I laughed today
Wasn't sure I would
Especially after hearing
About random violence
In the neighborhood
I laughed today
Took me by surprise
There were two fatal crashes
Out on I-75
Why should i have laughed today?
Just no cause for glee
Two raging house fires
And homeless families
I know it's all so random
None of these I know
It's hard to overlook it
But my empathy still grows
Lord give the comfort
For all the tragedy
awaken the compassion
You can start with me
Spend more time in prayer
And on my knees...

Dear Sweet Momma
You met a man of the sea,
And upon bended knee
He said "Please marry me"
Tons of letters,and ship to land calls
Moved eastside with the ol' U-Haul
Making friends in small towns
Keeping in touch
Letting them know
You miss them so much
Doctor visits and then it seemed
No longer alone
Cause baby makes three
Living away from all family
Those are hard times
For a mother of three
Yes and it happened all so quickly
Then there were five
OOOOOOhhhh Dear Lord!!!
What did you say???
Oh my..another on its way...
And upon bended knee
He said "Please marry me"
Tons of letters,and ship to land calls
Moved eastside with the ol' U-Haul
Making friends in small towns
Keeping in touch
Letting them know
You miss them so much
Doctor visits and then it seemed
No longer alone
Cause baby makes three
Living away from all family
Those are hard times
For a mother of three
Yes and it happened all so quickly
Then there were five
OOOOOOhhhh Dear Lord!!!
What did you say???
Oh my..another on its way...

The List
Here I am on the knees i bend
I brought the List that has no end
Lord help those so ill and dying
Also the ones abused and are crying
Comfort all the ones who loved ones they have lost
Warm all those who shiver from winter's chill frost
Feed those who are hungry and need a warm bed
Give peace to those who suffer from
Demons in their head
Brighten the eyes of all that are blind
Soften the hearts of the closed minds
Rebuild the bridges that keep us apart
Strengthen the muscles of our weakened hearts
Restore faith where there has been doubt...

The Glory Of Things Unseen
Bow our heads in silent prayer
Praising God for blessings that will be
Setting in motion angels here and there
To help us with what we seek
Keep the tempter from us all
And please do catch us
For sometimes we fall
Bless us all for kindness done
All the children and the loved ones
Give the glory to You alone
We ask in the name of Your precious son
Praising God for blessings that will be
Setting in motion angels here and there
To help us with what we seek
Keep the tempter from us all
And please do catch us
For sometimes we fall
Bless us all for kindness done
All the children and the loved ones
Give the glory to You alone
We ask in the name of Your precious son

The Blessing
May the gift of the Christ child
Bring a blessing to your heart
May the glory of His love
Cradle and complete your life
May the healing in His hands
Course through your spirit
And give strength to the body
May His light bring knowledge
And ability to discern
May those that know the blessings
Of His wonderful purpose
Share it with those around them
Let it be a sign unto us all
That a Savior is born.
Bring a blessing to your heart

Why Would You?
Why would you want to lay
Get high and drunk every day?
Is your life just that sad
To give up all that you ever had?
Isn't there something left inside of you
To keep it from getting the best of you?
You have a place in which to start
I know it's true
Deep within your heart
A tiny grain of faith
A little self-deprivation
Goes a long way
When you need inspiration
Make a change and seal the deal
In no time at all
You will actually start to feel
Get high and drunk every day?
Is your life just that sad
To give up all that you ever had?
Isn't there something left inside of you
To keep it from getting the best of you?
You have a place in which to start
I know it's true
Deep within your heart
A tiny grain of faith
A little self-deprivation
Goes a long way
When you need inspiration
Make a change and seal the deal
In no time at all
You will actually start to feel

Oh Boo HOO
Boo Hoo Boo Hoo
Whatever shall you do
Boo Hoo Boo Hoo
He is still not over you
Oh Oh "Woe is me"
Life is such a tragedy
With each passing day
You languish and fade away
What have you become
You were always such a strong
'Son of a gun!
Buried in self pity
Crying away and pine
Get yourself together
You're running out of time
None of us are getting any younger
Mid-life is passing us by
Put your best foot forward
And with your freedom
Spread your wings and fly
Friends and family will wear thin
When all...
Whatever shall you do
Boo Hoo Boo Hoo
He is still not over you
Oh Oh "Woe is me"

'Son of a gun!

Mid-life is passing us by

And with your freedom
Spread your wings and fly

Deceiver
You slither in..silently,slowly
Creating confusion
Whispering tragedy
Fostering doubt
Some recognize you
They cast you out
Others allow your deception
You cling to the shadows
Watching their perception
But the Light will shine
Will bring a song older then time
So what you portray as life
Will be shown as nothing
Just heartache and strife
The Light will allow all to see
Your path of destruction
Your futility
Prayer will make you falter
The ones who remain faithful
Will stand before the alter
You have already lost...
