Like dew drops on green grasses
His unconditional love refreshes the masses
Touching blessing with mercy and grace
Not just in times of need but each day
Meditate on holy words
Be filled and it will be revealed
All you are destined to know
All you are designed to grow into
Don’t worry about what they say
He will tell you first anyway
Keep the door open in your heart
Know who you are child of God
Fiction or fiction? I say fiction
how about youse guys?
most people WANT to believe in magic
so they keep the door open
no harm and sure does boost
tourism dollars for those thrifty Scots
don't blame them do you?
to this day, Anne Boleyn still haunts
the Tower of London
who are we to dispute these so-called myths
although the human mind is capable
of all kinds of strange images and illusions
the lure remains all these years later
keep an open mind is my philosophy
I know, I know what you're thinking
he's into the sauce again!!!
wouldn't it be so amazing that if one day
Nessie came up on land
for a picture-taking session and talked to CNN
NOW I'M JUST BEING SILLY...
That one who got away
That one who slipped away
Don't get hung up over..
Heed the one who stayed
The one who stays put..
Let the lost ones wander
But keep the door open
And the torch always lit
That one may yet again
Find their own way back
Back to the blessed fold

Poet's Blessings and Laments
Ye with the many empty baskets , save a few for me
Tho' word weary this pen can still shake a tree.
Weave ém with diligence and your greatest care
For we that need writing, will always race to be there.
Hold out the bright gold and beg us to write to win
author's ego may be a wordy knot but not a sin.
So keep the door open , tis the least you can do
for today is flowing and our words are the glue!
Laugh with us as we celebrate with piss and moans
our addiction, we celebrate in ego driven tones.
As your doorway swings, we seek even more keys
music in our writings, turbulence in our deep seas.
As we build rooms to hold our rampaging words
We fight to write and sometimes stampede in herds!
