They Will Be Cruel

They will be cruel 
They think they overrule 
Over every girl and boy
And try to control them like a type of puppet or toy

Some think that’s cool
To use your emotions as a tool
To get in your head
And make you cry as it is said

But don’t let them get to you
Because if you do
You will fall into the trap that they have set
And there will you go along with your self esteem that you have tried so hard to get

So just ignore them they are nothing at all
They are nothing so don’t let them make you fall

Sorry

I am sorry for not being there on the night of your show 
The biggest night of one’s true life
I am sorry I missed that big game
The one you say you were there to play
That night I’m sorry when I wasn’t there to go on tour 
The tour of your life
I am sorry I missed the biggest day
Of that same day you married him
But all this I say sorry for
I really watched up by heaven’s door
So when I say I’m sorry 
I really mean
I am sorry for not saying anything when I was dying

This Man Was Loyal ,This Man Was Honor

He had loyalty
He had honor
He had me 
And a daughter

But being the man he was
With pride and good will
He gave himself up
To the stars and stripes
 
I remember him saying
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
And he would look away 
And I’d be crying

He gave me his word that he would be back
He wanted to be a firefighter after the war
But god had other plans
And a notice came to my door

Saying 

He had loyalty
He had honor
To the wife
And to the daughter

He said before he was shot 
To give this to you
It’s not much
But it will do

He loves you both
And wants you to remember him 
So with that
I give you this

And inside the package that came with the letter
Was a plaque that read
This man was loyal
This man was honor

Life Is Like a Narrow Passageway

Life is like a narrow passageway
You go through it and you don’t know where it ends
Just like you go through life and you don’t know when it’s your time unless it hits you
Although there is light at the end 
There is always hope 
There is help 
And there is always someone there waiting for you
Life is like a narrow passageway
You go through
And that’s your life
Till you find the light
There are turns and fallbacks
There are mistakes and mishaps
But most of all there is always something with you
There is always God beside you walking with you to pick you up when you fall

Lights Out

Darkness fills this place 
The hate covers my heart 
When will love return to this place I loved
When will hate leave this place that was adored
Why must we turn them off?
And leave the anger to linger
Why must we turn off the items that shine in this place
To make it brighter
Why must we have hate and anger and pain and suffering?
Why must we turn off the lights to this place that we love?
And let the hatred stay and the play that it lays
Why must we not turn on the light to let it fade away?
And be happy once more
Why?
Why must we have lights out?

Prayers Are Like a Message

Prayers are like a message
You send them to someone who can take care of it for you
But if you don’t write the message no one can help you
I have learned prayers since I was born
Every night I say a pray

These 4 corners on my bed 
These 4 angels over head
Mathew mark Luke and john 
This is the bed that I lay on
And If I die before I wake 
I pray the lord my soul to take

And then I add stuff to it after that 
And then at the dinner table when I was little I would say this prayer

God is good
God is great 
Let us thank him for our food
Bow our heads 
We must be fed
Give us lord 
Our daily bread
Amen 
God bless

The when I used to go to this church camp which last year was my last year
We would make up these prayer songs before a meal.
One of them was 

God is good
God is great
God he gave us chocolate cake 
He is a righteous dude
He gave us food
Ruba dub dub 
Three men in a tub
(Father, son, and Holy Spirit)
Thank you god for this great grub 
Amen amen amen amen

So prayers are a big part of my life and have been for a very long time and always will be

The Way We Learn Is a Choice

The way we learn is a choice
The way we live is a choice
The way we give up our time is a choice
What you do is your choice

Us as humans have many choices
We are free to live by the way we want to live 
We can do anything
But listen to this

Just because you are human 
And just because you can do anything
Does not mean there are not consequences 
You have free choice but your choice always has a consequence

You are sworn into a life where there are rules 
You are sworn into a life of commitment 
But let me tell you this
You have a choice to live the way that you intend to do

“Where there is a will there is a way”
Yesterday or today
Both of those comments mean
That any time you have a choice and if it is possible it is capable

We all live by our own standards
Us as humans tend to make up our own rules
But again that is your choice
And again your choice and every choice has a consequence

These consequences may be good or bad 
They may hurt you or benefit you
But remember what was once said
“With every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”

Now I know that’s physics but it implies to your choices
With everything you do there is a reaction
And it can be as good as you started out or it can get worse
So when you make your choices think about your reaction and whether it will be equal or opposite.

Her

I didn’t know much about her
The day she was born
All I knew is that my mom was to blame
For this sister where love was sworn

Sure she was my sister but I didn’t like her
I wanted mommy to myself and daddy 
Why was she born 
Why did they have to have her 

She grew up she’s gotten big 
And now that I’m 5 she’s 4
Ha ha now look at the score
I will always win

Ha ha look at you now 
You’re locked in the back yard and no one can save you
I think I’ll make a pretty picture on your face with blue magic marker
You think it’s funny but you look like a disaster

I got in trouble mommy found out that I pushed her down the stairs 
But its only because
She flushed my Barbie dolls head down the toilet
I’m locked in my room and nobody cares

Now that I’m six and she is seven
I am starting to like her 
She is not so big
But she can fight like she is eleven

I’m skipping to age 12 
Nobody will notice
It’s just a poem about my sis
By the way she’s eleven

So she thinks it will be fun if she rides her bike with her eyes closed 
So I say go ahead and she says tell me if I hit something
I didn’t hear her
So she runs into the mail box 

Today she got a motor scooter
And I got a bike 
She rides up the drive and I didn’t see her
So I fell

I got water all over me and it was time to go to lunch 
I told my dad but he said we had to go
My mom turned around
And said to my dad that I need to go home and change

I love my sister now
I’m glad I gave her a chance
But I can’t stand anymore
So please hear me out and don’t give me anymore

The Worlds Gone Mad

Flipitty flopoty foo
My mom says
The woman’s gone mad
She is talking to my sis and makes funny faces

Here comes the train choo choo
Says my dad
He is going weird to 
Has the world gone mad

She is looking at me 
That little girl
She is smiling
How could she be smiling when the worlds gone crazy

I wonder if she’s to cause
Making them talk funny
I wonder if she could do that
Oh no what am I thinking she is doing this 

Sure she looks cute 
Sure she looks adorable
But I promise you 
That baby is horrible

I tried to tell my mom
But she things I’ve been bitten by the green monster
Now the baby has a pet
What’s going on

I tried to tell my dad
He laughs and says I’m going mad
What is up with world
More importantly what is up with this little girl

I need to lie down 
This is just a bad dream
After my nap
Maybe this will disappear

When I awake the baby is in my face
She laughs
I scream
And now she is crying

I try to calm her down
I try to pick her up 
But she weighs like hundred pounds
Mom comes in she says what’s this about
And what did I do
I said nothing
And she said I was lying

I said no I’m not
And she said now you’re talking back
Has the world gone mad
Now you see what I have trying to tell you

What are you talking about
She is evil
I say
She has been making you and daddy talk funny

She said that’s the way you talk t babies
I say ok
And she walks away
My point has been proven

The babies can control your mind
Now I’m only two but
She won’t get in my head
But I can officially say everyone else has gone absolutely and utterly mad

Share Your Music

The sound of music in her voice
Fills the heavens with rejoice 
The bird sing in delight
which puts out darkness and fright
Pop, rock, or even hip-hop
Which ever you choose
Share your music
To make some tunes
