Another Day
Oh oh my nose is all drippy
My head is aching
My back is all "iffy"
What i wouldn't give for some home made soup
Or one of Grandma's hot toddies
To get rid of this droop
To lay in bed with my pile of covers
Turn on the tv
Hug my pillow like a lover
Sleep and dream til the flu has gone
Go to bed early
Rise up with the dawn
Sip my coffee
While watching the news
put my clothes on
When I would much rather snooze
Procrastinate till I am in a run
And there you go
Another day has begun
My head is aching
My back is all "iffy"
What i wouldn't give for some home made soup
Or one of Grandma's hot toddies
To get rid of this droop
To lay in bed with my pile of covers
Turn on the tv
Hug my pillow like a lover
Sleep and dream til the flu has gone
Go to bed early
Rise up with the dawn
Sip my coffee
While watching the news
put my clothes on
When I would much rather snooze
Procrastinate till I am in a run
And there you go
Another day has begun

No Greater Love
I remember many years ago
I was young when i gave my heart to the Lord
It broke my heart to know that i was loved so very much
That someone would die so I could live
Now as i reflect upon those memories
It comes to my attention everyday
All of the wonderful people who give their lives
So we can all live
So we can all worship
So we can all spend that Sunday afternoon
Eating a home-cooked meal
Enjoying time with our families and friends
The Bible says no greater love hath mortal man
then for our friends,families, even complete strangers,...

That Look
There was this look,you see
Exchanged between you and me
I was taken by surprise
When i seen your lingering eyes
A slight sly smile
With a certain "Come hither" style
I am a stranger to this
For its been such a long while
This flatters me so
But there is something you should know
That part of me is long gone
I no longer sing a lover's song
It has no appeal for me
I am a "loner" now and will always be
There was a time though
From many years ago
When love's complications
Seemed worth all the stipulations...
Exchanged between you and me

I am a "loner" now and will always be

Tried Faith
You were there alone when they gave the diagnosis,
He discussed your options,and the best prognosis
You came home scratching your head
Trying to figure out how to say what was said
I looked in your eyes
An alarm was sounding,I was weak and ill
My heart was pounding
Whatever it is,we will find a way
Beating the odds is all we could say
Trips to the hospital for numerous tests
Chemo,radiation,nausea...lots of rest
Co-workers and friends,family from both sides
Offering their support..defeat we denied
When you were so weak
And while you...

Salute
What if there was no threat?
Then we could all heal but never forget
The images of total travesty that makes us anger and grieve
And toss around thoughts in our futility
Could we trade the angst and sorrow?
Hope and pray for a better morrow?
It is not the nature of our beings
To look past all we are seeing
The ones who serve and pray
Put themselves in harm's way every day
They are not lovers of combat and pain
Nor mongors for pillage and gain
They didn't ask to be shipped o'er seas
They want what we want
To just let it be
I commend...

What became of that night
It was dark that night,the moon barely gave light
We lit a fire for none could hardly see,
That night in gethsemane,
The Master did weep and pray,
His mind and heart were heavy that day
None of you could stay vigilant,
Is what he did say
Try to bare with me,I am not worthy you see,
to relay this story of the garden of gethsemane.
The Master gathered us to tell of what would come,
You will deny me when all is said and done
No,no...it is not true,we all love and worship,
We could never deny you
Then they were there with swords and sheilds,...

Shhhhhh...The soul whispers
Did you hear that?
Was a single breath...taken in the stillness of silence
How oft do we pause, then dismiss?
Images of life and death flutter before us
Some we must turn away and hide from the reality,
It's too much
Helplessness washes over us all;
Yet we pick ourselves up and once again,
Do whatever is somewhat normal
Drawing from the giver of life
He who has known the true meaning
Of real pain,rejection,death and then victory.
I thank you Lord, thank you
Was a single breath...taken in the stillness of silence
How oft do we pause, then dismiss?
Images of life and death flutter before us
Some we must turn away and hide from the reality,
It's too much
Helplessness washes over us all;
Yet we pick ourselves up and once again,
Do whatever is somewhat normal
Drawing from the giver of life
He who has known the true meaning
Of real pain,rejection,death and then victory.
I thank you Lord, thank you

In My Simplicity
Lord, I have sinned much;
I have no alibi;
If it were up to the world;
I would be alone and left to die;
Just a vessel;
With no great ability;
No noble lineage;
No heritage of royalty;
I praise you Lord for your mercy;
And your sacrifice for me;
I give you what I have;
My undying loyalty;
Bless my friends and family;
Keep them in your will;
Help me to see past myself;
And in turmoil;
To listen and be still;
I thank you Father for your patience;
For you alone are worthy;
For your charity and kindness;
As boundless...

Sailors' Prayer
Guide me dear Lord, for i easily get lost;
It's hard for me to steer, and my ship is thrown and tossed;
The waves and wind beguile me,and foil my direction;
Many lose their way and I am no exception;
Bless me Lord and keep me,'til the angry storm does cease;
To sail into the harbor, where all kind find your peace.
It's hard for me to steer, and my ship is thrown and tossed;

Many lose their way and I am no exception;

Don't Look To Me
You threw the die,and lost your bet;
Now its time to pay your debt;
Flowery words and opaque smiles;
Store bought roses and sheepish wiles
Didn't take long to see through you;
Now you're spent and feeling blue;
Hoping somehow she'll come back to you;
Yet she knows you're a castaway;
With no money for bills to pay;
You haven't worked in god knows how long;
You moan and cry the same old song;
"Oh where,oh where did our love go wrong?"
Don't look to me, i have nothing to say;
I am better off since you went away.
Now its time to pay your debt;
Flowery words and opaque smiles;
Store bought roses and sheepish wiles
Didn't take long to see through you;
Now you're spent and feeling blue;
Hoping somehow she'll come back to you;
Yet she knows you're a castaway;
With no money for bills to pay;
You haven't worked in god knows how long;
You moan and cry the same old song;
"Oh where,oh where did our love go wrong?"
Don't look to me, i have nothing to say;

Enjoy Your Dream
You fooled around;
And broke a heart;
Now your life is torn apart;
You engaged in wine;
And casual sex;
Lost your job;
Then your duplex;
You cry and waller;
And carry on;
Can't understand just went wrong;
She left your ass;
And now it seems;
You're in a pickle.
Enjoy your dream!!
And broke a heart;
Now your life is torn apart;
You engaged in wine;
And casual sex;
Lost your job;
Then your duplex;
You cry and waller;
And carry on;
Can't understand just went wrong;
She left your ass;
And now it seems;
You're in a pickle.
Enjoy your dream!!

Love of Imagination
Love of imagination;
You have no hidden side;
No secret fornication;
Or falsehood to be denied;
No twisted,demented fettish;
Or bi-curious fantasy;
No mid-life infatuation;
To hurt or humiliate me;
How perfect of a lover;
But no reality;
Love of imagination;
Is what you'll always be.
You have no hidden side;
No secret fornication;
Or falsehood to be denied;
No twisted,demented fettish;
Or bi-curious fantasy;
No mid-life infatuation;
To hurt or humiliate me;
How perfect of a lover;
But no reality;
Love of imagination;
Is what you'll always be.
