If it were not for you I would 
 live carelessly unashamed
But instead I live carefully 
Unabashed unafraid unrestricted
Unrestrained ambushed by 
Ambushed by memories I thought
I had forgotten so sorrowfully for
Me to be on bended knees 
Begging for forgiveness 
Breathlessly  starving for your
Affections stop...

Touching his old wound,

Hiding the heal in his armpit!...

I tapped on every door to gave them their news,
some wailed, some yelled, some even thought it was only the muse,
Some who even know I was arriving, blow up their fuse,
Because my revelation was not to be amuse,
Some moved away or even hide them shoes,
but,...

I went to school for dog training and to groom
I wanted to be the best
mistakes, in this field,
there is no room,
and your always put to the test,

on equipment and safety,
learning all the different hair cuts,
to give these wonderful mutts,
each...

Almighty created exemplary beings in His Own wisdom
Ultimately God abide by every promise in His own script
Umbrella to all books existing here in this orbit

No one yet knows my new calling
Now that my profile has changed, 
I reside in a cemetery
A settlement prearranged.

Country music could just forget,
To...

same. There's more coming
in,then going out. I can not...

Timmy couldn’t wait for the fireworks display
Brilliant bursts in the night sky blew him away
The first time he saw them he cried,
Then match and chemicals he tried

Jesus was a carpenter, 
he worked with saw and hammer. 
He pounded, banged, for 20 years, 
it was an awful clamor. 
Then he spent three years a'preachin', 
he never had a stammer.
At last they nailed him to a cross, 
nevermore to yammer....
