Mom..."We Love You"

Mom…”We Love You”

Ten different lives
Ten different minds
Ten different ways to say..."I Love You"

Her loving tenderness
Her embrace and kiss
Her simplistic ways to say..."I Love You"

We reminisce memories
We ponder what will be
We will forever say...Mom..."We Love You"

Holding on to the past

Holding things that last

Holding on to the words..."I Love You"

Ten unique lives
Ten with tearful eyes
Ten forever ways to say ...Mom..."We Love You"

Christmas Memories

Empty feeling Christmas

A void within my soul

The mother vessel of love

Has been taken home

Living spirit of the family

A smile brighter than snow

Daughter of mother Mary

In her arms she went home

A love story never ending

Many chapters to unfold

Gifts forever keep giving

She was a grace to behold

Christmas lights are shining

Gifts wrapped under the tree

Emptiness will melt away

Reminiscing Christmas memories 

The Love In You

What about love

The love of Jesus is exciting

What about love

What about love
The love of Jesus is inviting

With no one to hold on to
Wondering...is anyone out there
I need someone to reach out to
Are you there, my Lord...are you there

What about love

What about love
What about love
The love of Jesus is exciting

What about love
What about love
What about love
The love of Jesus is inviting

I have so many questions
I'm searching for the truth
My faith leads me back to you
My sweet Lord, lead me to the truth

The love of Jesus is exciting

The love of Jesus is inviting

The love of Jesus leads to truth

What about love...the love in you

Loving Our Fellowman

Storm winds blow...the wrath of a hurricane
Oceans rage across sandy shores; breaching banks
We hear the fear...see concern in official's eyes
Storm winds blow; pray for safety of people's lives

This monster of a storm...full of fury and rage
Is this an act of God...punishment for sinful ways
This monster of a storm could be a wake-up call
Is this an act of God...is this a warning for all

Are events taking place a prelude of things to come
Is the planet that we live on about to catch fire
Amidst horrific images of human pain and suffering
Compassion, selflessness and love are truly burning

Storm winds blow; oceans rage; flood waters flow
Is this an act of God...one day we will know
For now we must take control of things at hand
Storm winds blow...the future is loving our fellowman

Daughter of the Most High

The light of sunshine

Golden star of glory
The radiance of time
Fulfillment of the story

Come to rescue mankind
Daughter of the Most High

Breath of the blessing

Gift of life everlasting
Born in this place in time
The Master's delight

Come to rescue mankind

Daughter of the Most High

Heats be not troubled

Feeling adrift at sea

Blessings are doubled
Persevering in misery

Trusting in seeds sown

As blessings take root
The harvest seems light
Fruits abundantly bright

Radiant star of all glory
Daughter of the Most High

Trusting in the Lord

When the wind blows

Driving torrent rains
When the rivers flow

Breaching the banks

When the sunshine

Is a sight longed for

Caught up in a storm

We trust in the Lord

When the floods rage

Seek higher ground

Pray and stay awake

His grace will abound

Seek out the answers

The soul is longing for

Amidst every storm

We trust in the Lord

Trusting in the power

Basking in the glory

In the darkest hour

What will be will be

Feeling hopelessness

Embrace faithfulness

Feel the tenderness

Divine blessedness

When the winds blow

Nature is engaged

Raging rivers flow

The storm is named

Embrace faithfulness

Never ever be afraid

In the midst of it all

Trusting in the Lord

God's Text Message

Mother Nature sent devastation to Texas but God is sending a Text message to the United States and to the world. First responders, volunteers, neighbors and friends are showing what love in action is all about. Selflessness and compassion that is rarely seen in society today. God bless Texas and all those amazing people that are an inspiration to our Nation. This is love of neighbor in action.

Ready to Roll

Today is a new day...fresh
Yesterday has past...fast
Tomorrow a grace...dream
Faith in the future...believe

Hold on in the midst of trials
Brush aside wasteful denials
Grasp hold of precious things
Embrace what freedom brings

The clouds will vanish away
Sunshine lighting the way 

Embracing precious things

Grasping freedom it brings

Today, a day full of sunshine
Yesterday has taken its toll
Tomorrow may never come
Future.....we are ready to roll

Time Will Free the Soul

Flashback time - everything was fine...yes it was

In the prime of our lives - so fine...yes it was
Time has a way of taking control...yes it does
Time has a way of touching a soul... yes it does

Looking back in the rear view mirror
Never seeing the things lying ahead

Life at times gets weirder and weirder

Life sometimes plays with your head

This is the time to take control...so take control
This is the time to free the soul...free the soul

This is the time to just let it flow...let it flow

This is the time...this is the time...this is the time

Never look back keep pushing ahead

Never surrender keep fighting instead

Soon all things will become clearer

The lights will turn on in your head

The flash of light is just the beginning...yes it is

This is a joyous time we are living...yes it is

This is the time to release and let go...let go

Take hold...let it flow...time will free the soul

Soulful Shoes

Fast forward time

Dusty trails behind
In sole-less shoes
Treading the blues

Majestic sky ahead

Sunset flaming red
When it's all said
We paid our dues

Look to sunshine 

Seek out and find 
The best inside you
Everything anew

Time for a rewind

The past gone by
Fast forward time
Inside soulful shoes

Free!

Never played a note
Never sang a chord
One stone at a time

Together in accord

Forever a dreamer
A faithful believer

Just a simple man

With trowel in hand

Imagine one day

In a place and time

Endless possibilities

Endless sunshine

A musician's hands

Building with stone

Rock hard hands

Strumming notes 

One day in eternity

One day we will be

One forever changed

One limitless...Free!

Shine! Shine! Shine!!!

There is darkness

There is light
There is promise
There is right

Twenty four hours
All things new
Today is the day
Awaiting you

It is now the time
Rise and shine
It is all up to you
All things new

Let go of it all

Let sunshine in

Answer the call

Let life begin

This is the day

Your place in time

A day of promise

Shine! Shine! Shine!!!

Jesus...my Lord

Walking down the street today
I felt the urge to begin to pray
At that moment I felt so alone
I was wrong...Oh, I was wrong

I was having one of those days

My mind drifting in many ways
God hears the soul that prays
So I knew...I was one with You

You listened to me the dreamer

A weakened battered believer
Listened to me worn and torn

I love you my Jesus...my Lord

When I call out your holy name
When I need a friend to confide
When abandoned by everyone
Faithful and True is by my side

Walking down the street today

Drifter...dreamer...torn believer

My prayer was the lifeline chord

I Love you my Jesus...my Lord

I See Jesus...Through It All

I see changes; societal spin
See dangers forming within
Feel the tension surround
Abandoning of holy ground

I see Jesus...through it all

The grace of standing tall
Now rages toward the fall
Deafening of human cares
Drifting in worldly affairs

I see Jesus...through it all

Caught up in misdirection
Beaten down in rejection
Seeking to embrace justice
Separate from worldly lusts

I see Jesus...through it all

I see change on the horizon
An about-face from the lying
Tears wiped dry from crying
I tell you there is no denying

I see Jesus...through it all

Loving Jesus...Loving Jesus
Loving Jesus...Loving Jesus
Loving Jesus...Loving Jesus
Loving Jesus...Loving Jesus

I see Jesus...through it all

One Day at a Time

In every Nation
Political unrest
Confrontation
Patients tested

Lying leaders
Self admiration
Clever deceivers
Much frustration

Caught inside
Playing it straight
Born to survive
Despite the hate

Faithless; Godless
A place in time
Everyday blessing
One day at a time

Organic Connection

In every direction
On all four sides
Seeking connection
To fulfill our lives

The internet trap
Filled with dangers
Conversation rap
With total strangers

The human touch
Long passed away
But today we must
Learn to re-engage

The great unknown
Ultimate infection
Is the human touch
Organic connection

The Self in Me

Selfie...me me me

The way of society
Hot on the outside
Deep inner freeze
Exit from reality

Focusing inward

And losing sight
Eyes open wide
Darkness abounds
Absent the light

Seeing no other

Sister or brother
Family or friend
All that matters

Is the visual me

Time to take two

Turn it all around
Away from thee

Selfie...me me me

Free the self in me

Mother

One hundred years...one hundred years

One hundred years come and gone

Salve Regina...Salve Regina...Salve Regina
Immaculata...Blessed are you
Salve Regina...Salve Regina...Salve Regina
Immaculata...Mother of Truth

One hundred years of wars and tears
Bondage of sinfulness and fears

One hundred years...one hundred years
One hundred years of wars and tears

Salve Regina...Salve Regina... Salve Regina
Immaculata...Blessed are you
Salve Regina...Salve Regina...Salve Regina
Immaculata...Blessed are you

Mother Mary...Mother Mary...Mother Mary
Mother Mary of Light
Mother Mary...Mother Mary...Mother Mary
Mother Mary of Life

One hundred years...One hundred years

One hundred heart beats long
One hundred years...One hundred years 
Immaculata played out in song

Our Lady of Fatima...The Queen of peace

Our Lady Whisper in the Wind ever free
Our Lady of Fatima...The Voice of truth
We Love You...We Love You…Mother!

The Glory of God

Clouds on the horizon
There is a buzz in the air
The energy level rising
Expressions of living fear

Unnerving expectations

The human state unclear
Ungodly experimentation
Moral extinction is near

Heaven shedding tears

As evil reveals its face
Fading things held dear
Uncertainty taking place

All things quickly passing

Life never to be the same
Embrace life everlasting
The Glory of God remains

Choose His Love

Those starting on the top of the mountain spend a lifetime reaching the bottom
Those starting at the bottom of the mountain spend a lifetime rising to the top
Meeting halfway is where together we decide the direction and choose His love

The Future is Bright

No greater sacrifice

Or courage of man
Lay down one's life
For their fellowman

The cost of freedom

The untold bravery
Not in the headlines
A front line obituary

Memories never fade

The everlasting truth
This grateful nation
Forever honors you

Today we remember

Tomorrow we unite

Your spirit ignites us

The future is bright

Alive in Jesus

We hear the lies

We see the cries
We feel the pain
It's all so insane

Shadows disappear

The light has fled
Teardrops of blood
Rivers turning red

Perverted ideology

Attached to death
Innocent victims
Caught in the net

Help is on the way

Victory is assured
Glory is revealed
In the saving Word

Lift up every care

Love will free us
United in prayer
One alive in Jesus

Those We Rise With

So many so confused

Faced with direction
The choices we choose
Weeding out deception

It all seems so easy
Entering into pleasure
But is it really pleasing
The journey measures

It's not the conquest

It's how the Spirit flows

Just to feel the blessing

How the seeds are sown

There is right and vice

Decide between the two

It's not who we lie with

It's those we rise with

Let Us Go

Get up, let us go

Time to take control
Let the Spirit flow
Get up, let us go

One and one in hand
Redemption of man
Near and distant lands
Rejoice, there is a plan

Get up, let us go
Get up, weary soul
Brotherhood of man
Together, yes we can

Get up, let us go

Time to take control

Allow the Spirit to flow
Get up, Get up, let us go

Silencing the Thunder

The hour glass flipped

The second hand strife
Sand of time empties
The coarseness of life

Countless scenes pass
Glory days gone by
Revealing the times
A youthful one unwise

Giants passed before

Wisdom given freely
The quietness of wars
Witnesses to bleeding

A beginning and end
The older and younger
A lifelong of mending
Silencing the thunder

The Leader

Lord, bless the dreamers that are humbly blest with poetic words. The Spirit is alive and seeking to expand. Today is the day for the children of God to bust the move for God’s glory. Share your love for the Lord; express yourself. The word is powerful….express the glory of God. Be not afraid…”I go before you always”…Follow the Leader!!!

The Test

What’s up with the unrest

All the pain; the suffering
North, South, East, West
The lack of any reasoning

Destination collision course
We are along for the ride
The genesis of the source
Seen by eyes opened wide

We are innocent dreamers

Seeking peace in our lives
Simple faithful believers
Born for this place in time

Never giving in to dismay

Pushing forward in faith
North, South, East, West
Chosen to endure the test

Shine!

Where is my God

Has He abandoned me
I feel so all alone
Yet, I'm told to believe

Is life about trust
Even as we loose faith
Is hope about love
Seeking our pathway 

Live the promise

Stay focused on truth
Enter into the bliss
That will release you

In a glorious time
Grace will surely shine
In the Lord's glory
In the Lord's time...Shine!

The Lord's Grace

If today we allow life to beat us down

Tomorrow, we will fight to get back up
If today we fall to the weakness of prey

The Lord's grace will deliver and free us

Trusting in the Lord

Anarchy in the streets
Void from freedom
The war against Police
Seeing is believing

Chaos before our eyes
Rain, ice, and snow
The temperature rising
Time for grace to flow

We look for answers
Beneath every stone
Seek peaceful terms
Never loosing hope

We are people of faith
Drifting in one accord
The salt of the earth
Trusting in the Lord

Believe

Every day is a blessing
Whether rain or shine
Cherishing a new day
As we open our eyes

Amazed at the wonder
All the blessings of life
Solitude and thunder
In the passing of time

Longing for tomorrow
Old enough to realize
That joys and sorrows
Adhere to all our lives

Faith, the guiding light
Hope, living the dream
Trust, in possibilities
Love, above all "Believe"

In the Life of a Soul

This is the day I turn and walk away
This is the day I release and let go
This is the day I chart a new course
This is the day I allow Grace to flow

A time to leave all my cares behind
A time to strike a triumphant blow
A time to enter a new state of mind
A time to for mending a weary soul

For the times that I spent all alone
For the times I shed so many tears
For the times I was lost and lonely
For the times I fell prey to my fears

This is the day of glorious salvation
This is the day of joy and jubilation
This is the day God's Grace will flow

This is the day; In the life of a soul

God Bless the Nation of France

Another joins in the dance

The sweet melody...freedom
Not by the litany of chance
This an alignment of reason

To root where one is planted

Thrive as one united face
The cunning one has slanted
Division of the human race

Not an end; a new beginning

A transitional dance in time
To one day realize the longing
Peace we seek in our lives

The sweet melody...freedom

Now aligned as one in a dance
The stars of Nations aligning
God bless the Nation of France

The Blossoming Bud

Buds are blooming

Awaken from sleep
This blessed season
Arise from the deep

Basking in sunshine
In the morning dew
This new springtime
Awaits me and you

Battered.....broken
Shattered.....beaten
The awesome hour
Redemption freeing

Holy powerful week

When giants awake
Waiting.....blooming

The blossoming bud

Freedom at Last

Tested each day

Springing ane
The cycle of life
All is made new

Darkness passes
Light enters in
Green meadows
Life everlasting

Cut and mulched
Cleansed in fire
Flames quenching
The heart's desire

All is made new

The old passed
Souls rescued
Freedom at last

We are Free

When we close our eyes

The heart says goodbye
Then the transformation
Into joy and jubilation

We are free...we are free

The suffering long gone
Into the bliss of eternity
We are free...we are free

Friends and family grieve

The loss of their beloved
But if they could only see
We are free...we are free

We are free...we are free

Endless joy and happiness
Transformed into eternity
We are free...we are free!

Entered Into Eternity

He was a good man
Lived a very hard life
Misunderstood was he
But he was dad to me

A strong tough will
Hardened to the core
Those invisible scars
The Second World War

He raised his family
As best as man can do
But there were critics
Critics without a clue

A quiet reserved man
With a heart of gold
His daughter's hand
Till this day I still hold

He was a good man
He was dad to me
Tonight he left home
Entered into eternity

Entered Into Eternity

He was a good man

Lived a very hard life

Misunderstood was he

But he was dad to me

A strong tough will

Hardened to the core

Those invisible scars

The Second World War

He raised his family

As best as man can do

But there were critics

Critics without a clue

A quiet reserved man

With a heart of gold

His daughter’s hand

Till this day I still hold

He was a good man

He was dad to me

Tonight he left home

Entered into eternity

To Eternal Life

Why all the suffering
Why the hellish pain
Why has every misery
Seem to have its way

Searching for answers
Asking for reasons why
The human condition
All creation must die

Born again...born again
We will one day rise!
Born again...born again
We will one day rise!

Why all the suffering
One day we will know
The other side of glory
Revealing the unknown

Born again...born again
We will one day rise!
Born again...born again
We will one day rise!

Born again...we will rise
Born again...we will rise
Born again...we will rise
Born again ...to eternal life!

That Glorious Day

I woke this morning
A stake in the game
A grace to be alive
Continue on my way

How are you today
My friend said to me
I gave a simple reply
Life is a great thing

We live and we grow
We deal and we roll
We reap seeds sown
Eyes fixed on home

Today one day closer
Then was yesterday
Tomorrow is a grace
A dream fading away

I woke this morning
Grateful to be alive
A stake in the game
Till that glorious day

Tasting Victory

For some it is short
For some it is long
For some in between
One day all will meet

We start and we stop
We come and we go
We will one day part
One day for home

Together we shall be
In the light of eternity
Together forever free
One day together free

From the vice of sin
From battles within
From every suffering
One day joy unending

For some a sweet song
For some just misery
For some in between
One day tasting victory

You are the Glue

Time for self denial
Only if I want it to be
Been at it for a while
Trapped in misery

The best intentions
Putting it on the line
I know what is right
But I fall all the time

Am I just weak man
Am I just a disgrace
A saving grace man
Or a man saving face

At times I feel alone
A man with no home
The seeds I've sown
Lead me back to you

You're saving grace
The one I embrace
When I slip and fall
You take my place

There is no denying
Love I have for you
I'm just a weak man
And you are the glue

The Spirit's Raging Fire

Life without sunshine
A moonlights serenity
Eyes closed for a time
A vision impossibility

Drifting in darkness
Outcast from society
The web of loneliness
Attached to destiny

One day it happened
The time for sunshine
The Spirit touched me
Shining stars aligned

Glory busted through
Darkness shattered
My eyes were opened
To the healing Word

Clouds disappeared
Muddy waters clear
Sunshine is brighter
The Spirit's raging Fire

The Mother of Christmas

Most tender Mother
Compassionate One
Ever so close to us
Clothed with the sun

Surrounded by Angels
Holy Spirit's delight
Divinely chosen One
The Mother of Christ

The Babe conceived
Blessed is her womb
Center point of life
Bearer of Divine Light

The gift forever giving
Shield from evil foes
The triumphant Queen
Eternal Golden Rose

Tranquil peacefulness
Warming gentleness
Dawn of heavenly bliss
The Mother of Christmas

This is Her Time

Sunshine, Moonlight, Heart aflame burning bright

Gentleness, loveliness, only in a mother's caress

She is the sunshine in our lives
The guiding light of our direction
The peace found in a moonlight
Flaming fire of love and affection

Sunshine, Moonlight.....Gentleness, loveliness
Heart aflame burning bright.....she is tenderness

She is the calming of the storm
A melody that is forever sweet
For the heart tattered and torn
She mends with a loving peace

Sunshine, Moonlight, Heart aflame burning bright
Gentleness, loveliness.....a mother's trustfulness

She is the sunshine of our lives

She is the calming of the storm
A melody that is forever sweet

Our Mother the Queen of Peace

Gentleness, loveliness, the sunshine of our lives
She is the Queen of Peace.....this is Her time!
