A Table of Four



The convention room was filled to capacity

There were four to each table

Not one, with just three

The atmosphere was charged with smiles and delight

Opportunities to put faces with names

What a beautiful sight

Cause we were laid back, no nervousness or fright

There was laughter and...

No matter who he would marry, his heart belonged to Carrie
Her romance with Aiden could'nt keep them apart
Big already had her heart
It was almost like a forbidden love
The kind one tries to rid themselves of
Their love stood through the test of time
Lingering on in the...

Terry, as I called him, was ten years old when I bought him
No power steering, that, I could handle
No air conditioning, now that was a shamble
I tried fixing his air, but he said no
He drank all of the freon and said let's go
With my head...

A man in the park, playing ball with his son
Unaware that he's being watched, they go on and on
In his sons' eyes there is just the two of them
In his own eyes, there is only love for him
The sun is setting now and neither wants...

The Love of My Dad



When I was a child, you combed my hair for school

I never played hooky, because that was your rule

You helped with my homework

Math was a trial

But you stuck with me, because I am your child

You never gave up, no matter how...

When (Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis
met Joy Gresham, a Jewess, 
he had questioned his faith in God.
She gently proved his doubt was flawed. 

Later in his book, …Grief Observed
Lewis writes of what Joy preserved.
Changed by what he had learned of pain,
from his wife who gave...

There is no need to look and stare
Take a picture, if you dare
Life is what you make of it
It gives back what you put out
It’s like a boomerang
Whether it’s joy, sadness, or a big shout
Think about it before you act
Know of a surety, it’s coming...

Wow! drinking, smoking and partying all night
Mini skirts, low cut blouses and pumps too
Look at what turning twenty-one can do
Coming home later and it's my choice
Waking up early to almost no voice
Time for work now, cause I'm grown
Can't wait til it's over so I can...

We laughed so long and so loud
Our only witnesses were the clouds
You jumped up and shouted, Yes!
That was you, at your best

We thought you had snagged a bass
It could have been a whale
That brim was so tiny
In unison, we all fell

Thinking back on that time
Finding...

Babies Need……




Babies need shoes, clothes and loving care
Combs, brushes and oil for their hair
Lotion for their skin and baby oil too
Socks, booties and to play peek-a-boo

Babies need hugs, kisses and love all around
Lots of smiles and never a frown

Mind stimulation, so read to them often
Gentle...

I make haste to run to you
After twenty years, I know it's true
Love so fierce, it makes me sweat
Daydreaming of you only makes me wet
Dimples so deep, they are still alarming
One gold tooth, so bright, it' charming

Taken aback by a moment in time
His full lips pressed against mine
Over and over, drenched in ecstacy
My way was his way
and that made it easy
Say what you will, this trip is to tease me

Lovers



Lovers come and lovers go

One on one, some keep score

Violence does not exist

Every night ended with a kiss

Reaping the benefits of a present love

Sends thrils and chills, one never tires of

The word of God is my pill of life
It keeps me happy, joyful, out of strife
My strength is renewed like the eagle's
I'm free to soar, and live abundantly
My cup runneth over, so I give abundantly
My pill of life is medicine to my bones
It also reminds...
