Just Enjoy the Ride

I will take my Chainsaw and pruners too
Just to see what I might run into
I will ride the trail to the end
Then turn around and ride back again
It is a pleasant ride around the place
Just ride slowly with no sun in your face
If you ride too fast you will miss the view
So ride slowly and look all around the place
I will make a four wheeler path down the power line 
It is all grown up and very hard to find
Ride the logging roads up and down the ridges
You will not be bothered with any  bridges 
Now it is a very smooth pleasant ride
In the past we walked it with pride
You may think I am insane or crazy
It just proves to me, I am not lazy
                       Buzzie

Don'T Worry About Tomorrow

As I set here just remenessing
I thank God for his large blessing
I think of bygone days and the present
I remember living on this mountain as a small boy
It seemed my days were filled with much joy
From  age of seven, eight and nine
I thought life was just fine
I would stay on this mountain for three more years 
Then came shocking news, I was full of fears
My family moved, it seemed to me, to a distant land
I was confused and sad, and did not understand
From a very small one room schoolhouse
I went to a much larger one, and was quiet  as a mouse
Then I realized I had started my long journey of a lifetime 
But with my persistence, and Gods help, I would do just fine
And now as I start my twilight years
God has taught me "don't have those many fears"
And now God lets me temporarily enjoy
This very mountain I enjoyed as a boy
He says don't worry about tomorrow
You may not even have one sorrow

Happy Birthday To My Wife

Happy birthday to my wife
A ray of sunshine in my life
Another year older, that is alright 
Beacon Hill seems like last night 
It seems our love even grows stronger 
I hope we enjoy it much longer 
So,what is another year
Let's jump and cheer
May your birthday be spent along side me
Maybe go to the mountain and just roam free
I'll be here as long as I can 
It may be a long life span 
Happy birthday have no fear
Look around, I’ll be here
May your day be merry and bright?
Hay; how about we get together tonight
             Happy Birthday 
                  &
             Anniversary 
             With Love Buzzie

Happy Birthday My Son

Happy birthday to you, my son
God blessed the day your life begun
It is great to realize I'm your Dad
And remembering the fun days we have had
When you were a small boy, we camped, your climb a tree
I realized then what a  great blessing you were to me 
You grow up and the great things you have done
Makes me very proud that your are my son
For success you no longer have to wait
Mommy said she is proud of the success you have had 
But leaves the writing all up to your Dad
Be happy on your special day
With much love along life's way
I love you son, and I must let you know
But trust in you Heavenly Father wereever you go
                     Happy Birthday 
                     With Love 
                      Mommy and Daddy

A Day On the Mountain

A Day on the Mountain
		          The snow is falling around
	                    Bringing the mountain a new shiny crown 
		          The leaves have fallen, it is end of summer
	                    The mountain is in its winter slumber
		          We realize this is God’s natural way 	
			So we adjust to a different type day
			If things changed, and we had summer year 
round 
	          We would start complaining and want snow on the ground 
                              He lets the trees and plants rest for a while 
 		          Then come spring they will be but to the trail
			Sometimes winter can be a trying time
 			Causing us to just set around and whine
			If we look around and see the beauty of it all 
			The leaves are beautiful with many colors of 
fall
			 It’s another morning, it’s frosty and cold
			 But the sun is coming out to warm our soul
			 We’ll stay warm if we really try
		            Blessed with an abundant wood supply
		            God gives us strength to do what we must
			  If we put our efforts and actions in his trust 
			  He says this is the way it is going to be
			  If we look around us, his blessings we well 
see
			  If we will just trust him, things will   be alright 
		            Just throw another cover on the bed tonight

As I Recall My Dear Mother

As i recall my dear mother
I could have been happy with no other 
She had many glorious days,
and heartaches too
some caused by me and things I would do
I regret many unruly things I did
But with her praying and God watching,
nothing could be hid we had many good 
hours of blessings and joy just her and God and her only boy
She always taught us right from wrong
She was a lady that was might strong 
When she got sick and went away 
We did not try to persuade her to stay
God had another plan much larger plan
For him and her to stroll hand and hand 
          By son,Buzzie

Mine Friend Benny

I have a friend his name is Benny
Hours of laughter, we have had plenty 
We have had good times around the old plant
I would call and say,are you going in? I ain't 
Sometimes I'll call and say,how are you doing "Ole Buddy" 
He will say pretty good, sometimes the road is a little muddy
He is a pretty good boy as boys goes
What he'll do next, no body really knows
I'll say Benny, I have retired you know 
I have to rub it in, as off to work he'll go
I have written some sad poems,but I've decided to write one with humor,and not 
so one sided
But getting back to my ole "Buddy" we all know I would mischievous and try to still 
the show some of the humor you may not understand but believe me, old Benny 
and I can
Sometimes the ole boy will just drop in we will have coffee, and tell some jokes 
again
We'll take on odd jobs just to make ends meet we just can't stand any kind of 
defeat I haven't seen him for a while, but I will soon sometimes he travels when 
there is a full moon.

The Cabin

A log cabin replaces the old homestead
Precious memories roam through my head
But we are making new memories day by day 
A few to remember along lifes way
We must not try to live in the past
We are reminded, life will pass much to fast 
So let us make new memories that well last and last
We must remember, life will pass much to fast
Lets make memories with family and friends
Before its to late  and life suddenly ends
Our days are numbered, and we know not when God will call us and 
say,welcome, come on in 
some days life seems all wrong
But it will be beautiful if we are strong
So lets love each other until the end 
Lets be there for each other through thick and thin
As you travel through life, think of Dad 
Don't dwell on the failure,think of good times you had 
                                             Buzzie

A Walk With Nature

A Walk With Nature


I saw a robin setting on a post wondering what she would like to do next.
She could fly down and catch a worm or two and go feed her babies.
   That is what she will do.
If we observe robins and nature and pay close attention we would all learn a 
valuable lesson.
   To think less of ourselves and more about others.
   By sharing our blessings with hungry babies and brothers.
   I am just an observer of nature’s great plan.
I am totally convinced it wasn't made by man it had to be created by a greater 
power.
  I am more convinced with each passing hour.
 When you stay on the mountain as much as I do you will want to feed the 
animals.
That makes them happy too I like to stay on the mountain as much as I can.
Even if some people would not understand.
I enjoy the peace and relaxation as much as I can.
Although there is beauty all across our nation.
I have been from the east to the west, but this is the place that I love best.

Our Children

Our Children

Shirley and i got married,we'll share some stories 
Blessed with one little girl and two boys
Sandra started to school,I took her to the bus with the two little boys saying what 
about us I said you are to young and your are too small you'll start school too,one 
chosen fall
Years drifted by and they brought me so many joys  that little girl and two little 
boys
I made mistakes,some of the things I did 
I never saw a manuel  "How to raise a perfect kid"they are  grown up now and i'm 
so proud I could stand on a mountain and shout it out loud
I'm a little older and I'm so respected I'm not very good at the words of mouth I'll 
try to write it down, it will still come out
                    Dad
