To A Sky

         star in the sky
        there before me
 I thought would always be
            now gone
             to a

Oh Father Loverboy

You left your body six years ago
But you left us long before
The family still cries oh boo hoo
Tears long I have no more

You lived in town and never phoned
Empty promises from you dad
hopes and dreams my eyes had shoned
 crushing silence just too bad

My granite hart you have made
Like the rest of me
A better father

Years After, I Have Buried You

I tasted leaves
the season of aged skin
Below me was the ground
gray in pieces
 
At George Akens
I saw us sittin
in a dull orange booth
sippin long cool drinks
and eatin chicken
down to the bone
and talkin about the springs
when we went fishin
in the close past
we could only partly see
us and the thing
we were to leave with
in our dusty boxes
 
I clung

I Am Standing Ready

I am standing ready. Your coat I will not wash 
Until I see your eyes, for it smells like you.
I need to take a whiff of it so I can remember.

I am standing ready to see you walk into the house,
To swing your grandchildren up into the air,
To hear your laugh again.
To watch you smother

Creation, Curse and Promise

Since eternity past God the Father Son & Holy Spirit dwelled in unity and sweet fellowship.
Then Three-In-One decided to make a marvelous universe with an earth for life to dwell.
Creating an amazing array of creatures was the easy part – the risk was on the last made.
For unlike other creatures, man & woman were made

The Son of Love's Union

The Son of Love’s Union

Two hearts swelled to twice their size the day that you were born
   As we counted, very gently, ten fingers and ten toes
   then your daddy sweetly touched your little turned up nose

Two hearts fell in love with our new squirming bundle of joy
   Wrinkled

A Thought

A man beyond his years
   Lay dying in his tears
Of past and nevermore
   Bleak death beyond the door

Through raging eyes they flow
   The tears I so well know
As they are mine and flow like wine
   On my soul bleak death shall dine

Christ Child

In eternity past, the Father asks the Son to go down.
Having equal Love for humans the "Yes" comes fast.
When Creation leads to time, the world waits for 4 BC
Marking the start of the end of Satan's long rule at last.

Did Satan laugh at the poor setting for Jesus' birth here?
A cry in a cave for

A Dark Tale

I laugh as I think of it now, the dire warnings of hell
Nothing could scare me it didn’t matter, on this teaching I never did dwell.
I wondered why one dark night, again begging for sleep.
No fear of death of dying no foolish promises to keep.

It was then I found the answer as I slipped down

What Easter Means To Me

He growed to be a shepard and a man of faith and hope.
He healed the sick and feed the poor and taught people to cope.
A mother cried for the death of her son.
But to our heavenly father he had won.

He walked and taught Gods word to all mankind.
The people that he saved his words did

My Father's Pen

The ink flows in my veins, it drips as I cry
I figured life was joy
I was wrong, for there is much evil walking in our streets
Lies upon lies, death herself points at me
Who am I to pretend of joy, when I break inside
I bleed, I shall not bare any seed
O' how I desire to be

But There Are Stars

One day a father’s father died.
He wept and walked with his son that night.
As they walked, his son asked, “How do I become a man?”
The father responded, “Follow me to a cross and I’ll show you a Man.”
“Who is he?” the son asked.
“He is the king of kings.”
“How do you know?” the boy questioned.
The father

Death of An Uncle, and the Melted Lego Man

I had only just begun to understand 
the meaning of death when my uncle died.
Before him, death was something that
happened to family members of which
I had never seen nor spoken to.
Sometimes they were brought back to
us  during dinner time, Dad would down
his beer and speak of their yesteryears.
The day my uncle died my mothers
