If Heaven Had A Window

If heaven had a window and God granted me a view,
of all the beauty it beholds I'd only look for you.
I'd listen for your laughter that was always music to me,
your beautiful hair and hazel eyes are what I'd wish most...

A Soldier Died Alone

Amidst the desert sands dawnings just begun,
battle rages on, bombing veils the rising sun.
A boy not yet a man holds a picture to his heart,
of loved ones not forgotten though oceans keep them apart.
Called to serve his country, land of freedom home...

Once upon a time an angel held my hand, 
She wiped away my tears and helped me understand.
Our time on earth is brief, there's lessons to be learned,
Each precious day God gives us another page is turned.
Every chapter full of memories, times of joy and...

Remember Me 

If I were to leave this world today I'd want to be remembered its true,
for going that extra mile just to show my love for you.
I'd want for you to be proud of me and know I always tried,
when you hurt I did...

Yucky Chucky Tucker

Yucky Chucky Tucker was smelly as can be,
he never took a bath and hardly ever brushed his teeth.
Everywhere he went he left an odor in the air,
and Yucky Chucky Tucker never combed his hair.
His hands were always dirty cause he played with stinky...

Oh Mighty Oak

Stand tall oh mighty oak, for all the world 
to see,
your strength and undying beauty forever 
amazes me.
Though storm clouds hover above you,
your branches span the sky,
in search of the radiant sunlight you
count on to survive.
When the winds are high and restless and...

Pet Port A Potty

I took a walk in the city today
to try to pass the time away.
Saw lots of people walking too
stepped right in a pile of doggy doo.
I thought for a moment just what could be done
to clean up the streets of doggie dung.
Maybe...

Fred's Wearing My Slippers

I woke with a particular feeling
I was floating on top of the ceiling,
A little surprised
when I opened my eyes
at the sight my room was revealing. 

I saw things I'd never seen
I knew this must be a dream
There on my bed
was my dog...

Remember When

Life takes us through many changes like the seasons of each year,
Some so unforgettable we sometimes shed a tear.
I remember when I was a little girl it seems not long ago,
My mother would shelter me in her arms,
A feeling I thought I'd never outgrow.
Maybe...

The American Dream?    
2014 is here its time to file  again,         
as the federal government awaits our hard 
earned dollars rolling in.         
I can only speak for myself  
but I'm sure others feel my pain,        
wondering where their money...

There Was An Old Rugged Cross

There was an old rugged cross up on Calvary's hill where Jesus suffered and died,
for our sins and transgressions 'twas to be the Lord's will his son was crucified.
For God so loved this world every creature great and small,
He made...

it holds your beautiful pictures while we must be apart.
Its my hope that your still with me no matter come what may,
so I know that I can talk to you every single day.
When I walk...

Pay It Forward If You Can

A true gift comes from the heart without
any expectations,
wishing nothing in return, no thanks
or admiration.
It doesn't have to be monetary for a
gentle warm embrace,
could offer hope to the weary,
and place a smile on someone's face.
The things we remember most in...

Old Man Skeeter Pop

Old man Skeeter Pop pushed a
broom and carried a mop,
kids all loved him cause 
he made them laugh,
when he'd pull out his teeth
and put them back.
He didn't have much hair
on his head,
never wore a belt but
suspenders instead.
While sweeping and mopping
he sang through...
