Premium Member One Step Behind

Dear Daddy,
While you were away 
I learned how to coo and to crawl.
I learned how to walk and tell time.
Don't know if it's true what they say
that time grows wings and then flies far away. 

Daddy, you're one step behind
one big step behind...

Daddy, while you were away
I learned how to ride- learned how to climb,
I understand you were busy
making gold out of callous and time.
But Daddy, you're one step behind
Daddy, you're one big step behind...

Daddy, don't know if you knew this
because you jumped from our sinking ship.
I earned my degree working odd shifts
and going to night school,

Oh, by the way I met the love of my life
gave her a ring made from respect, love, and time.
Daddy, you're one step behind
Daddy, you're one big step behind...

Every man learns that time does truly fly.
Heard through the grapevine you decided to die.
Too many years have passed; I wish I could cry.
Hope you made peace with your broken clock mind.

Funny, but it seems 
I'm becoming a chip off the old block.
My, my, how our time truly flies.
Daddy, I'm one step behind
Daddy, I'm one big step behind.

regrouping
i take a deep breath
like nothing else matters
owning the moment

basking in its magnificence
relishing in the focus
the intensity of being present
the pulsating rhythm of consciousness
and synchronized openness

making peace with time
letting go of the past
of what’s ahead of what’s next
experiencing life in segments

having sublimely discovered
the secret to stretching time
measuring life in instants
and gaining a feeling of…

if not control at least harmony
as it becomes a way of life
showing me what’s most rewarding

Heart Felt Love

heart felt love 



for true days 
for lonely nights 
love is a tender point 
the wind blows so soft over you 

as you sleep so tender in my warm arms 
as the angles surround you and protect you 

the sweet rain that fall softy over you such delicate face 
i am here my love ,i am here my love to hold you love you care for you 

love is a big step for one and all,for i cant repent a broken heart again 

if you leave me ,turn me away i will perish in eternity of the pain of my sole and heart 

distance is nothing to me for i will come 

a message from god to you 

i bring my heart 
in my hand 

to bound in your love 

for my days are so ever gray 

but i promise you i will stay forever 

this is a heart felt poem to my love ceizar

Premium Member Finding Nicole

Sometimes it can be hard to find yourself
The world seems like a really huge place
Graduation is a really big step
You wonder what's the next move you should make

The world seems like a really huge place
The future seems it is so far away
You wonder what's the next move you should make
Contemplating is a good way to go

The future seems it is so far away
It comes regardless of what you decide
Contemplating is a good way to go
Your choice determines which path you travel

It comes regardless of what you decide
Be passionate never settle for less
Your choice determines which path you travel
You are much stronger than you realize

Be passionate never settle for less
Graduation is a really big step
You are much stronger than you realize
sometimes it can be hard to find yourself 

I dedicate this poem to you Nicole. My prayer for you 
is that you find your inner strength and a worthy dream
to persue. You are capable of more than you realize so
Do not be afraid to choose a challenging path. Surprise yourself,
learn your possibilities, be amazed. Congratulations on
Completing a very important first step. Love Uncle Rick

Premium Member Climbing Ladders

 Keeping your mind, 
healthy and open 
and taking that big step 
through the opportunity door; 
you’ll find going up, 
the career ladder, easy.

It’s not always easy, 
to keep and open mind.  
Going straight up 
the ladder, opens 
many possibilities; open doors 
lay at the top, of the steps.

You may not be taking steps; 
the climb up so many floors, is not easy.
The illusive door 
of the human mind, 
is hard to keep open.  
Mind locks itself up.

Go ahead, limb on up, 
take those steps; 
many opportunities will open 
and it will be easy, 
for your mind,
to open its own door.

When elevators close their doors 
and they glide slowly up; 
as you get off, mind 
your first foot step.  
You’ll find it very easy, 
any door to open.

The world is full of, open 
opportunity doors.
You’ll find an easy 
path, as you gradually rise up.
No one wants to go, back a step; 
that thought alone, can open any clam shelled mind.

Secure files open, with a code, quite easily.
Through many a doorway; you’ll advance your steps.
Climbing success’s ladder upwards; is simply an act, of the mind.

Premium Member Dreaming of Dinosaurs

Mummy took us to the zoo
she hoped it wouldn’t bore us
In truth I think that mummy knew
we’d see a Brontosaurus

I stroked a small Triceratops
it had a tiny pink horn
I fed him all my chocolate drops
the keeper eyed me with scorn

I kissed a Tyrannosaurus Rex
When I climbed a big step ladder
Mom did all the safety checks
else the keeper would get madder

We were chased by a big Diplodocus
I could hear him snapping his jaws 
Then he turned and he winked at us
and began to lick his huge paws

One dinosaur wore dark glasses
and tried so hard to ignore us
His breed no other surpasses
it’s a Doyouthinkhesawrus!

Big Step

Looking back on how far I’ve come,
God’s kept his promise and word.
Overwhelmed with joy and gratitude,
Experiencing the opposite of expectations.

His faithfulness and goodness is unmatched,
I’m so confused had to do a head scratch.
Falling on my knees prayer form,
Giving you honor and praise is my norm.

I’ve been desiring this for the longest,
Now it’s happening with little stress.
Like, how are you this good to me?
Blessing me in ways that I can’t believe.

Overwhelming satisfaction fills my soul,
Your spirit keeps me intact and whole.
Urging me to remain on this path,
Progressing and excelling task by task.

As the moment arrives ever closer,
The weight is rising on my shoulders.
I know I’m prepared for this occasion,
Leaving children is not his reputation.

Premium Member Lift Up Your Heads O Ye Gates

If the courage still exists to do so in our age of political correctness, many of us could ATTEST to the fact that America and the free world have been and is one of the greatest experiments known to mankind since the creation of the nation of Israel in Abraham's time.  People of such loyal and patriotic blood are prayerful people who have mindsets of "Thrivers and not Survivalists".  But let it be known that to do so requires more than a little NUANCE and a big step away from the normality of politics, whether liberal or conservative. One must have a strong and matured PROCLIVITY for 'outside the box' creative measures of change founded on time-tested principles rather than the latest 'feel good' philosophy.  Sometimes, depending on the gravity of the times, TEMERITY is not only appropriate, but it might very well be the last rash act of sanity left for the preservation of a nation. Perhaps the real climate change that is more likely to bring the world to its knees is not taking place in the atmosphere of our environment, but in the sanctuaries of churches, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress in countries the world over.  We can pray and do our due diligence as citizens and see a sea of renewal and revival, or not, and watch this fertile land turn to a BARREN desert, or we can stand idly by taking pictures on our cell phones as we watch the sad SAGA of a free world too painful to record.  A world unsupported by the prayers of its people would be comparable to, if not worse than, a loss of MARROW in our bones.  At the Alimo, those last brave 200 freedom loving Texans, when given options by Mexico to surrender or die, replied with cannon fire.  Help never arrived in time for their rescue nor was there to be found an APERTURE pointing a way for escape.  However, like the sons and daughters of Abraham at Masada, they never surrendered.  This is no time to hate, to horde, or even for survivalists to head for the hills as the world in the valleys go to hell in a handbasket. Regardless of where our native soil might be, we owe it to our homeland to pray and lift up our pens and voices till the children of the earth become children of God or until the King of kings and Lord of lords establishes His Great Kingdom upon the earth.

Premium Member Tomorrow You'Re Getting Married

I wrote this yesterday in anticipation of our granddaughter getting married today. she asked that I not publish it until after the wedding at 7:00 PM today. Well, they got married and now I have been given the green light to post this. I am proudly doing so.

Tomorrow You're Getting Married
(with love to granddaughter Bella)
By Franklin Price
6/5/2015

Tomorrow you're getting married
A big step in your life
To the one you've chosen and you love
He your husband you his wife

You will become his partner
In everything you do
A fifty fifty proposition
A new family of two

Some may think you're foolish
That it is a big mistake
It is not their decision 
It is your choice to make

You've considered all the reasons
In your heart knows it's true
That this time is the right time
That this marriage is for you

Sorry we can't be there
But when you say I do
We'll be cheering from the breaking waves
And the sand around you too

We wish you both the very best
Sent from our hearts with love
That you have found true happiness
That you're blessed by God above

Taking Next Step Up Rather Not 2 Far

I for 1

Am all for taking

The next big step up

So long as that next step

Doesn't require anyone

Stepping on or over

Those who 1st helped them take
baby steps 

That lead you to the bottom step and 
in doing so inspired your desire to climb
at all

Like when after winning a major 
tournament achieving said sought
success

The second after you sack that very
coach that got you and set you on
your winning way and path

Then stepping on or over there dreams
is a price worth willing to pay

Rather not a step to far

Because to me that would be a
crushing blow

And the greatest loss or all

Because any victory devoid without 
one's friends to compliment and
celebrate with

Is as hollow and as empty as 
the heart that is willing to cast's aside 

Those who should mean the most 

Simply in order to get what they want
