My Love

I love the way you look

I love the way you smile

I love the way you cook

I love the way you laugh

I love the way you tease

I love the way you think

I love the way you please

I love the way you wink

I love the way you sound

I love you in every way.

 

Sunshine

For the Sun shines brighter

Every time that I see her

Those eyes and that Smile

I haven't seen in a while

To look at her lovely face

To feel of her sweet embrace

She is the one that I love

She has brightened up my life

And soon she will be my wife

For the Sun and the moon are there

And the fairest rose can't compare

She is my Sunshine and she does care.

 

 

"True Love"

Love is tender, Love is sweet.

To have True Love is a treat.

To feel the Love deep inside.

It will be a wonderful ride.

The feelings are there, they are true.

These feelings are just like glue.

This Love we want is unknown.

This Love I have is full Blown.

To have you only as mine.

To have your heart is divine.

 

"Dream Girl"

She caught my eye with her smile.

Her voice did melt me just like ice.

I have fallen and I fell hard and deep.

She is the Girl I have Dreamed for.

Without her there is no real cure.

I see her when I'm fast asleep.

I see her in my deepest Dreams.

I know in my heart, she is what she seems.

My life has changed for the better.

For soon I will go and I will get her.

 

"The Gem"

She is not like a diamond.

She is not like a pearl.

She is something special.

She is one special girl.

The things that she does.

The way that she looks.

I love the way she cooks.

I will give her some cones.

It is long and has a stem.

She is special among the stones.

For she is my special Gem.

 

 

"A Hero"

On the road of life, we see many so called Heroes.

The question really is, what is a true Hero?

For a child, a Hero could be the MVP of the NBA.

Or, it could be the man who hit the Home-run record.

It may also be the one who scored the

touchdown to win the Superb own.

To others, it could be the man on the big screen,

the one who gets his man and saves the girl.

Then closer to home, some think their parents are Heroes.

We as a people, can call whom we want as Heroes.

But the real Heroes are the ones we don't see.

After the attack on America, we heard stories of the Heroes.

These are the men and women who instead of running for their lives, they stood their ground.

Either to help someone or to stay with the ones who couldn't get out.

Other Heroes, are the Firefighters who went in to put out the fires, only to loose their lives when the buildings came falling down around them.

These are the true Heroes, the men and women who

vowed to protect and to serve the public,

even at the loss of their own lives.

A Hero, is one who puts someone else ahead of his or herself, no matter what they loose.

 

"Time"

It passed by and we all question why.

Sometimes it's good if it goes by quickly.

Others we want to slow down and savor the moment.

Some say it flies by, but I've never seen any wings.

Though I've seen and heard the nice way the bird sings.

We need it every day, hour, minute and second.

If some people don't know what Time it is, they get hyper.

You could say it holds us down and keeps us in line.

This thing we have we call it Time.

 

"Dreams"

To visit the world of fantasy.

To see the future and the past.

It could only be a thought or maybe a seed.

This seed may have been planted to help you grow.

While in this place you think it's real so you play along.

You may even leave and walk out to the lawn.

Someone may wake you up which could cause damage.

Or they could slowly move you back to your bed.

If you get mad or even turn red.

Just calm down and get back in your bed.

These are only Dreams that are caused by the unknown.

Someone that you know may induce it.

You may have one and then not have another.

If you let them, they could control your actions.

Always remember, all they are, are just Dreams.

They may mean something, but don't jump the gun.

The young could go crazy the old could go numb.

They are just Dreams so don't suck your thumb.

They can be told to mean different things.

But take them for what they are worth.

Don't ask for the help and give away your worth.

They are just Dreams and if you forget them.

Then they are lost and forgotten.

Don't ponder them for you are then lost.

For they are just Dreams, So go back to Sleep.

 

"Faith"

You don't have to see something, to believe that it is

there and that it is true.

You don't see it but you know that It's there.

In your mind without a question it is there.

Whatever it is or whomever it may be.

You will know in your heart and won't compare.

To believe with all your heart and soul.

Your heart beats true and you understand.

When you are tested or questioned you take a stand.

You stand tall, you are strong, your Faith will carry you on.

The smile and happiness will follow your life.

For you will have less of that bad strife.

It isn't so tough to see the things in front of you.

To have Faith in the things that aren't seen.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for.

And the evidence of things not seen.

 

"Miracles"

Things happen everyday, things that can't

be explained or believed.

Babies are born and people are saved.

Some are given the strength of seven men.

For others it could be the knowledge to create.

When you use your faith the doorway will open.

This doorway to Miracles will open our minds.

The way we grow and develop, our bodies and how they work, the mechanics of everything.

Our minds and the things we think up.

Our talents and the way we choose to use them.

The plants and the animals and what they are.

Our food we get to our bodies and minds.

The Miracle of modern Medicine to heal the sick.

To bring back the body to better health.

The love between two people for a happy good life.

To be able find a husband or wife.

Believe that Miracles can happen and they will.

They are happening all around you everyday.

Look around & open your eyes to the love and glory of God. For he is the creation of all the things in this world.

 

 

"The Scroll of Life"

Life begins with a birth.

The baby's cry, so little, so innocent.

Pure in heart and spirit.

The steps of learning.

To crawl, to walk and to find that certain balance.

You grow, you develop.

Infancy gone, the toddler on the move.

The terrible stage is here.

The time to get into everything.

To touch, to see all that a young mind can learn from.

Things fall they break, the yelling, crying, the love.

Now the bike, the success and failure.

The blood, the tears and the kindness.

The school years are here, with friends.

Excitement and the pressure, along with more tears.

More learning, growth and the living.

Looking towards the future and the choices.

Mission, military and then there's college.

You've matured, learned to deal with others.

You find love and learn how to love.

You get married and bring a new life into the world.

You look back on your life as you look at your child.

You experience a death, the loss of a loved one.

Depression, Self denial and blame.

You get emotional and have some spiritual thoughts.

Time passes and the children grow up so quickly.

They move out yet still come home to visit.

You grow older by every passing day.

You look at the mirror and ask, what happened to my life? Your Scroll now comes to an end.

Either by an accident or natural causes.

You move on, and yet begins another Scroll.

 

"The Master's Hand"

Throughout this earthly life that we we live.

We have good times and we have bad.

At times we feel happy and we feel sad.

Through these times we see we aren't alone.

We are lifted up and carried on.

The gentle touch and the caring song.

To be raised up and put on high.

We feel the Hand and then ask why?

Why oh why? As we look up into the sky.

All that we have and all that we are.

We owe it to Him, but that is not all.

The Master's Hand will be there when

you need him the most, untill the end.

As time goes by you feel alone.

The future holds truths and the unknown.

You are the one to decide how your life will go.

The Master's Hand is there to say yes or no.

With the love and faith in the One above.

We find the Master's Hand and all his love.

 

"Treasures in Heaven"

Look around your home and see your possessions.

See the things that you have collected.

Tv's, toys of all sorts and odds and ends.

You collect things and put them on a shelf or display.

You have things you may use everyday.

You have things you don't use for years.

If possible, try not to build your treasures on earth.

For thieves may break in and steal.

You need to feel the spirit, have what you need to live.

Then you can build up your Treasures in Heaven.

No one can take them away from you.

You won't need to dig a hole and bury them from others.

They will be waiting for you when you get there.

If you are ready and worthy you will receive them.

Trust in the Lord and seek his guidance in all things.

For the guidance you seek will give you the Treasures.

"The Way"

We look to our leaders and our peers for guidance.

We may find our answers or we may not.

We need to look to the light of Christ and follow him.

For it was said, "And a child shall lead them."

The children are our future.

They shall lead us into a new age and a new future.

Let us not destroy that future by letting our children

get led away by the evils of this world.

Show them, raise them to be like Christ and do right.

To make the right choices in their lives.

For the wrong ones bring only pain and suffering.

Not only to the person, but everyone around them.

The pain could last for years and change their lives.

Let us strive to keep our children safe.

Keep them going in the right places.

Keep them looking towards Heaven and all it's glory.

Let us watch and listen, for they have lots to teach.

For we shall be led by our children.

They shall lead us to the way of salvation.

The future lies in the hands of the children.

Let them lead The way.

 

"Small Voice"

You have a feeling, you hear a voice.

You feel a presence, you have a choice.

Some say it's your conscience.

Some say it's the Holy Ghost.

Some say it's the dead who is very close.

In the end you make the choices.

You decide if it is good or bad, right or wrong.

Will it help someone or give someone grief.

It's up to you, but you have to listen.

Feel the presence, feel the spirit.

If you've been taught what's wrong and right.

The choice will be easy, you will see the light.

The life we live it isn't easy.

Some even say it's kind of cheesy.

What we have to deal with all these things.

All we do and all we say.

Life's a test for us to endure.

We need to hold on till the end of our day.

We can live our lives to the fullest and be true.

Listen to the Small Voice and you can too.

It will lead you in the right direction.

It will lead you to perfection.

You will not get there here on earth.

The next life will be the perfect life.

Keep your mind open and ready.

To receive instruction any time of the day.

If you get into a bad choice ask for no less.

The Small Voice will help you out of the mess.

 

"I Am"

Let it be known to all who hears.

Open your hearts, eyes and ears.

I Am the one you need to see.

I Am the one to set you free.

Look up in the ky Look up real high.

Look for my light use all your might.

I will be with you in your times of need.

It will be like when you grew like a weed.

I Am the one you see in your dreams.

I flow to all just like the streams.

I will guide you if you hear my voice.

When you listen , I will rejoice.

To hear your cry and see your tears.

I want to cry out and put all into your ears.

You need to learn to have faith in me.

For I Am, and will always be.

Look for me and I will be close.

Ask from me and you will get the most.

I Am who I Am. I Am here.
