The Greatest American Generation
They came with dust on their boots and a morning star,
Shadows of boyhood still clinging to their shoulders—
They were sons of the land, faces bright with the dew,
Carrying small, cherished photographs in their breast pockets.
They rose with the sun’s trumpet call at dawn,
A summons to arms, to fear, to death—
Yet they did not tremble,
They carried

Verse, Chorus :ll
Let's start holding hands
Then proceed like thus
We'll hug the first verse
Then kiss the chorus
With lots of repeats
And much give and take
I think you'll enjoy
The song that we make

WE LL RIDE A HORSE DOWN ROCKY PATH
We’ll Ride a Horse Down Rocky Path
We’ll ride a horse down rocky path
Fall in love in the aftermath
Well do-si-do and do it right
Me and honey can dance all night
Roll away to a half sashay
‘neath the moon’s where we’re apt to stay
We promenade around fig leaves
with rolled up jeans and shorter sleeves
Hanging out in the doghouse

Our bodies against our souls ll
Our souls want to stay
Our bodies want to leave and receive new love, exploring a new world.
And if one day we feel imprisoned by the whole world, return to our never-separated souls.

The Humber Ferry
By heck it was cold on the Humber ferry
The water was deep and Hull smelled like leather
May I mention the bridge it’s all there’s left
The boat man’s gone, it must be the Styx
Right it was cold on the Humber ferry
!ow I’m a widow from him who I married
His mother was Hilda his father was Harry

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Ll
It is in these times we remember
here in the UK her majesty the Queen
in my lifetime Elizabeth so royal
showing real dignity even in her teens
Her coronation before my birth
so in the earliest times on the TV
much and often her presence there
always looked up for then I was wee
The Queen has been a model of majesty
faithful

A Poem On Weather Ll
There is a change
that is revolutionary
and almost normal
but marked
in experiences
if it is a colour
it might have been
named
as a kind of nomenclature
and if it is a sound
it might have been
heard yesterday
today and now of course,
and if it is an establishment
it might have been
taught in schools
as a kind of knowledge
of course, though common
I think there is

Words of Advice Indeed To Heed Regards Ll
I have come to trust in Leanne advice
because it comes with great intention
and from the heat
And as recently as today she said
Like a graffiti artist who sprays his
wares onto an empty canvas
If your chosen art form be poetry
and the written word
Then spit , stick and pin whatever
comes into your mind you deem
worthy of screaming about

Only God's Love Can Really Conquer All Ll
Oh! Only God's love conquers all.
He gave humanity average people
Just like you and me. The
Very best gift he could possibly
Give unto us. He gave his only
Begotten and beloved Son,
Jesus Christ to bare our
Sins debts and penalties.
Liberating all of humanity,
Whosoever will call upon
The name of the Lord
Jesus Christ will become
Saved and inherit ever
Lasting

Do It Right Or Don'T Do It At Ll
do me the honor
of being my wife
love me forever
us together
as man and wife
together
us together
in a union of love
who knows what tomorrow brings
it's more than the weather
you and I together
making our way thru the days
we can be apart
and have things
go some kinda way
but if you say
i'm yours forever
then you can make me
the happiest man around
how does
