Let This Be The Time
Let this be the time of year
We try to love each other
Let this be a time to have
Forgiveness for our brother
Let’s put our heads together
And come up with a plan
Something that will bring
Peace throughout the land
Let us stand up and say
We love this country
Bring peace for everyone
We’re dying by the hundreds
Let this be a time that
Someone stand up and agree
That our country is the
Country of the free
Call on congress or
To the senate write a letter
Let them know that this
Time we will pull together
...

That's What Friends Are For
I let you rest on my shoulder
All the nights you cried
I spent many hours wiping
Tears from your eyes
I couldn't stand to see you
Hurt so bad inside
But you are only human
She never realize
Now you feel like your
Whole life has fail
And if you’re going the
Right direction
Your heart can never tell
My friendship comes free
It’s clearly not for sale
I am your pillow of strength
I promise to do my best
Try me, believe in me
Put me through the test
Lay your head in my lap
We both can concur
I’m trying to...

My Father Gave It To Me
My father was a good man
God rest his soul
My father was the best father;
But one day he got old
He loved his family
In a kind and gentle way
My father is no longer with us
He gently slipped away.
He gave me something
That I will proudly wear
There is nothing like it
And none can compare
I will wear it with pride
Because I am free
I will wear it with dignity
Because my father gave it to me
I will keep it polish
And pass it to my son
And he will wear it proudly
Until the day is done
I will do my best to...

A Recipe For Going To Hell
Ingredients
First you start with the devil
1 cold heart
2 cups of whiskey
4 cups of jealously
5 cups of hate
3 cups of adultery
21 teaspoon of lies
And a lot of backbiting
Directions------------------
You take the devil and mix him with the 1 cold heart, then you go around tearing God church apart
You take the 2 cups of whiskey, and mix it with the 21 teaspoon of lies; you then persecute God’s saints, and ignore their humble cries
Mix the 4 cups of jealously with the 5 cups of hate, don’t worry about heaven, you will...

The Smell of Christmas
Looking through the kitchen
Window starring at the sky
Singing soft melodies
As the hour passes by
Snuggle beside my oven with
A cup of coffee in my hand
Watching the snowflakes fall
Like a blanket covering the land
The smell of pine aroma
Lingers in every room
And baking apple pies
All after noon
The smell of Christmas
Somehow fills the air
Lights twinkling on the tree
And toys everywhere
Friends and love ones
Sat down for a talk
With the holiday season
Embedded in their thought

Lord Why Would You Want me
Lord I have sinned, and done many things wrong
I lay before you as dirt, on the floor of my home
I spoke bad words, and lied every now and then
I been down for so long, I feel this is the end.
I never been to jail, but yet I am not free
Tell me Lord, why would you want me?
Lord I feel that I am not worthy to be call your child
I get so mean sometimes, it hurt me to smile
While you are looking down Lord, tell me what you see,
And why would you want an old sinner like me?
The Lord replied;
I made you in my own image, ...

My Little Pen
I tried to think of something
To write down with my pen
Trying to write something special
That no one considered a sin
It amazes me all the things
This little pen can do
It can make you angry,
Happy, sad, or blue
This little pen I have
Has written many lines
Peace, joy heartaches
All combined
It tried to send a point
Across to many soul
It wants to publish a story
Already untold
My little pen, can
Send you any message
It also sends you mysteries
And somehow keeps you guessing
My little pen can encourage...

My Kids Left Me Here
Looking out the window while
Tears run down my face
Seems like years have passed
Many, Many days
I stare at the photo on
The dresser by my bed
Empty on the inside
Feeling like I’m dead
I know I am old, and
Feeling sorry for myself
There is pain in loneliness
And sorrow in death
This is not my home I
Don’t belong in this place
My kids left me here
Because of my age
They say I get in the way and
The burden of me goes deep
When I drop things
I never pick it up
And their kids can never sleep
I scrub...

The Long Road Back
He took me for a ride one day
To get away from home
What started out as having
Fun, left me all alone
I wondered why a right turn,
Turned into a left
Where are we going, I
Suddenly ask myself?
Snow fell on the ground, and
Ice hung from the tree
There was a painful look in
His eyes, as they
Suddenly focus on me.
In the middle of nowhere
Forest and the weeds
I knew from the start
A tangled web was weaved
Forced out of the car
For no reason at all
Crying, begging, as the
Grass broke my fall
Lying on the...

Forbidden Love
Every time he sees her
His heart skips a beat
Just the thought of her
Makes him tremble
In his speech
Gracefully she walks
Slowly across the floor
His heart is telling him
There could be so much more
At night he dreams of her
Deeply in his sleep
This is the only way
They can secretly meet
The morning that he rise
Wiping tears from his eyes
Knowing this is forbidden love
And the truth remains inside
He knows this love is wrong
And it could never be
How he fell in love with her
His eyes could never see...

My Dad
I love my dad
He’s the best in the world
He bounces me on his knee
Cause I’m his little girl
He holds my hand
When we cross the street
He teach me to say no
To the strangers I meet
My dad is very unique
He’s more than grand
When I need help
My dad is the man
I will not trade him
For nothing in this world
He’s my dad, and
I’m his little girl
He’s the best in the world
He bounces me on his knee
Cause I’m his little girl
He holds my hand
When we cross the street
He teach me to say no
To the strangers I meet
My dad is very unique
He’s more than grand
When I need help
My dad is the man
I will not trade him
For nothing in this world
He’s my dad, and
I’m his little girl

My Name Is
I am the reason people
Lie to one another
Hatred, jealous, and envy
Toward their brother
I will make you cry
Don’t care how you feel
And if you are not careful
Your very life I will steal
My name is what, and
Who you think it is
I am the big dog
The one and only thrill
I am known to cause
Confusion on the spot
I been chased many times
But never ever caught
I’ll make you do what
You never thought you could
I am bad, I rule this hood
Don’t...
