Dull endless sights and slow restless nights
Oh the magnitude stifles the eyes
Parboiled schemes and tar soiled dreams
Soon your rifle attitude replies
Quick Draw McGraw, we know, you've done it all
That means your temper is semper tonight
You're so quick on the draw, how quickly they fall
When each night in some bar room you fight
Your throttle's in red, beer bottles and lead
Slinging bullets and bottles of brew
One's quicker with lead, and you find yourself dead
Just a stranger that nobody knew
Dominoes in a sequenced pattern
branching out randomly askew across long table
~ mix-and-matching dainty dots
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
AP: 2nd place
The memories of ties that bind
Are rooted deep within the mind
Though we might wish for something new
Down in the heart we know it’s true
We travel so long and so far
Here we can be just who we are
Step by step we’re all moving down the road
Take me home…. Take me home…
In our lives we all need the space to grow
But all roads lead you home.
Can you recall? I’ll bet you can
Although you may not understand
For memories pass slowly on
But in our hearts are never gone
We travel so long and so far
Here we can be just who we are
Someday, somehow, some way…
A sight, a scent, a song,
Will take you back to yesterday
Lead you home, where you belong.
Step by step we’re all moving down the road
Take me home…. Take me home…
In our lives we all need the space to grow
But all roads lead you home.
I know you’re hurting
I know you're completely lost
But just this once
Let love lead the course.
Let it lead, gentle as light
Mending the broken bridges
Guiding you gently home
Back to where you’ve always belonged.
Love has its simple ways
It thrives in the dark
Plants a candle in your chest
And teaches the heart to trust again.
So let it reach you.
Let it rewrite the ending.
Even after all this time
Love still knows your name.
Grayson, a great white found a beacon in the water
we are meant to follow it, he told his daughter
he followed it seventeen times around the cape
an ordinary basketball which had made an escape
Bridges Lead Us Somewhere
A new chapter in your life
A milestone symbolizes
Bridges unite
With no fight
Brings people together
Overgreen pastors
Live in the country
Work in the city
Arches to mountainous slopes
Through canyons, A beautiful view
Where does your bridge lead you?
Somewhere new
New roads
Where the water flows
Bridges leads us Somewhere
From here to there
Maybe a new relationship
Symbolizes hope
New beginnings
To be set free
Whatever it means to you
Brings us together
Over troubled waters
HEARTS
of gold
will melt in
the heat of scorn
n'pride, where greed is born.
hearts of stone feel no pain,
loss, nor happiness again.
numb to sorrow but also peace...
imprisoned in stone with no release.
a heart of lead, so heavy with poison,
with bitterness, regret, weighing you down
into the dark~ into depths to drown.
a heart of clay will grow stronger
in the oven of hot lust...
but shatter when it’s hit,
fragile, it will bust.
when flesh and blood,
love's sharp darts...
find true
HEARTS.
May we be blessed that wherever our children’s feet take them in life
wherever they happen to roam…
those same feet that lead them away from us…
will also lead them back home..
My Brethren in Christ,
I will pour out my plea.
There was a man in crisis,
Who by appearance had no degree.
Who was been beaten thrice,
Though it was against the decree.
So he thought of the decree twice,
There came hatred with it glee.
Threatening him to give Him a Price,
If only he ends his life in a slee.
To him, it was nice,
For He thought Love, Kindness, and Joy have flee.
About to end it, He saw Kind
Who took his poverty and blew
So He changed his mind
And from death, he flee.
To be feared or to be loved
A king contemplates
No right answer can be had
He Will Lead Us
we have
our hope and strength
with Jesus as our Lord
He will lead us through the good times
and bad
Stepped away for awhile, but rising again from the ashes
Sometimes you need to dive into the dumpster to sort through life's trash
The smoke is starting to settle as coming out the other side
Efforted some along the way but mostly just went along for the ride
The detour felt different this time as I went in with a different point of view
Rooted in resilience that no matter what I'd make it through
Sure to be more roadblocks and obstacles ahead
But running my engine at full throttle with a foot full of lead
Lead me on dear Lord
Lead me on to heaven's door
Excitement fills the air God
A sweet perfume forever more
I couldn't ask for anything more
And when I see Your face
I will delight, delight in You
And to You I will forever be true
Let the sun rest
Though it has no nest
Let the moon relax
Somehow busy all day on tracks
Let the leave be still
Not until it becomes ill
Let the teeth shine
Only not when to dine
Let mercy abound
Cum moments, sin compound
Let the poor breath
provided when hustling seethe
In Gods shadow, Mr. President!
Just lead! No second guessing,
follow the Nation heart, it’s We the people!
Stay our course, set our goals and execute.
Endure adversity, it’s our strength,
that sets you apart.
Lead ahead, do not follow.
Stay out in front, out of the shadows,
don’t follow.
Your first steps, you must listen,
always follow what’s right!
Regenerate the Country roots,
grow us individually and equally,
toward a halo light.
May you feel We the people,
in your spirit, always present by divine.
On the Country journey,
toward one direction,
under truth and leadership defines.
Lead from the front, don’t follow.
Keep proving, keep moving and do not stop.
Toward one direction,
on the Country journey to the top.
Keep advancing forward, don’t stop.
May the heart of Nation, We the people,
pump your spirit that's present by divine.
Leads our Country on the journey,
toward one compass, we must climb!
Lead don't follow!
