Happiness is where Jesus dwells;
No more death nor sorrow wails;
I'm gonna be forever happy here;
In the arms of my Father;
I wanna be there for a better well;
I wanna go where happiness dwells, and..
For ever and a day;
We will sing, dance and pray;
Forever in eternity singing hallelujah;
I wanna go to the better side;
Where my spirit will be free;
I wanna go to the better side;
Where I will be His bride;
And forever and all eternity, I'm gonna be free;
Everlasting forever in His arms I'll be embraced
On the better side;

I wanna live with Jesus and all my cousins and them;

I first met you in a bar,
After I admired your car
We were both so young and free,
I just wanted you to notice me.
As we danced to and fro,
You said that I should know,
That you never wanted to let me go
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised to never make me cry
That you would be with me for forever and a day
That you would stay, for now and always
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised never to say good-bye
That you would always come back to me
I don’t want to believe the truth that I see
On our wedding day,
You said you’d be beside me in every way
As we danced to and fro,
You said you would never let me go
Through sickness and health,
Through poorness and wealth,
That we would be together,
For always and forever
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised to never make me cry
That you would be with me for forever and a day
That you would stay, for now and always
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised never to say good-bye
That you would always come back to me
I don’t want to believe the truth that I see
On our honeymoon,
You said forever was a day too soon,
So for forever and a day,
We’d be together for now and always
You said we would tour the seven seas, Just you and me
You promised that for the rest of your life,
You’d make me proud to be your wife
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised to never make me cry
That you would be with me for forever and a day
That you would stay, for now and always
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised never to say good-bye
That you would always come back to me
I don’t want to believe the truth that I see
You left me on a sunny day,
Saying we’d be together for now and always
But now I’m wearing your wedding band,
Holding a folded flag in my hand
As they lower your casket in the ground,
Our son doesn’t make a sound
He salutes you as we say goodbye
Tears cloud my eyes as I start to cry
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised to never make me cry
That you would be with me for forever and a day
That you would stay, for now and always
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised never to say good-bye
That you would always come back to me
I don’t want to believe the truth that I see
The most beautiful lie,
Was when you promised to never make me cry
In the sunny summer of '72, the magic words were, "I do".
I was in love, young, and free. You also were in love with me
O sweet love of my life Dearest friend and loving wife
You have called me honey for 46 years So faithful and true, loving, kind, and dear
Let's cuddle and kiss till we're old and grey Let's embrace and hold hands forever and a day
Let's walk around the park cause we're not tired yet Let's sit out back and watch the most beautiful sunset
Remember when we sat at the Buckingham Fountain in Chicago? We had very few clues but our eyes were alive and bright with glow
We were lovebirds falling through the sands of time of the hourglass We were strong and had every reason to believe that our love would last
Remember those nights we parked at the lake and enjoyed the lovely skyline? Our love and the grace of God have kept us together in the hardest of times

The Duppy Man
On the island where I come from, where the golden beaches span. Lives a terrifying
creature, known as the Duppy man.
Now the Duppy is quite picky, about whom he haunts at night. For it is only naughty kids,
that the Duppy wants to fright. They seek out all the naughty ones to scare them at their
leisure. For the screams of terrified children, is every Duppys pleasure.
What does the Duppy look like? , well let me tell you all.
But make sure you are sitting down, for the fear may make you fall.
His head is on the wrong way, and his left leg seems to drag. He knocks upon your window,
screaming like some old hag. And over his right shoulder, he carries a big bag.
And as he walks and drags his leg, he sings a little song, “All you naughty children, won’t be
naughty very long.”
The bag is for the children who he knows will mis-behave, he takes them back to his lair
where they become his slave.
But the Duppy won’t just grab a child, he must select the worst. So the evil Duppy calmly,
will ask this question first.
“Is you a good child, or rotten to the core?” and he looks deep into their eyes, where he can
see much more.
For in the eyes he sees their souls, and the truth in what they said. And if you are a good
child, the Duppy simply will say “bed”.
But if you are a bad child, and the Duppy says it’s so, he will offer you a choice, be a slave,
or your big toe.
If you become the Duppys slave, he will put you in his sack, and after a night of haunting,
with him you will go back.
He will take you to the underworld, where all the Duppy gather, never to see again your
mother or your father.
But if it is the big toe, you decide instead. The Duppy takes it graciously and tells you what’s
ahead.
“Child I will haunt you now, forever and a day. Unless you prove to me child that you can
change your way”.
Then he places your poor big toe on a necklace that he wears, and turns away and heads
off, to find another child to scare.
So children, children everywhere, on the island that I live, please pay close attention, to this
advice I give.
When you hear the whistling of the wind, and a dragging on the ground. Make sure it is not
naughtiness, but goodness to be found.
One day my grandad slipped away,
His face sunk into a waxy, pale grey,
With a sudden stillness and a wave of your hand,
You have ventured off into an undiscovered land,
If only I could go back to when life was a breeze,
Or to say goodbye with that one final squeeze,
All I want is to hug you tight,
I know you tried so hard to stay and fight,
If only I could hear your voice once more,
Or to see your face, just like before,
The connections I have help me to grieve,
I never knew how much damage your death could leave.
You fell into your awaiting deep sleep,
Forever and a day of counting sheep,
In tears I saw you sinking, I watched you fade away,
My heart was almost broken, you fought so hard to stay,
Now we gather every Sunday to comfort his son,
For the parents he has been left with is not one, but none,
Looking ahead at your empty armchair,
I feel your presence, as if you’re there,
But I know my grandad is not truly gone,
Because his legacy remains, so he can live on,
The connections I have help fill that deep void,
So many good times death has destroyed.
The night sky has gained another star,
It comforts me that you are not too far,
Tears ran down my face that day,
All of the dormant emotions I had left at bay,
It wasn’t your time to die,
But now you’re an angel up in the sky,
The memories of you, no one can erase,
My heart was broken that night, a love I can’t replace,
I know you were so very afraid,
Greeting us one last time ‘Hello my babe’,
The connections I have make me feel pride,
This was the sad part, shall we hear the happier side?
With help of my family the pain might fade away,
I miss you more and more each and everyday,
Like when I came around on Friday after school,
Or the days where we would occasionally call,
I’m sorry you will never get to meet my new baby cousin,
I know you were here to witness the arrival of the other two-dozen,
If it be a boy then Alf shall it be named,
The love I still bare for you can never be explained,
The connections I have make me feel at ease,
I only dreamt to of had that one final squeeze,
Have fun on your jollies, until we meet again,
Rest in peace my angel, my love will never end.
This depression, got me down;
Seems like no one cares, no ones around;
Feeling, sad and so blue;
Seems like, I don't have you;
Lord, I don't have, have you;
I prayed
just prayed
and still
have no way to show for what you have said
so over and over again. . . I pray
I just found out;
I began having doubts;
My mind it's clout? ? ?
What am I doing that's. . . .
what's wrong with you God
Do you hear me calling you, Lord;
What am I to do OH!! so I repent of myself, and just held myself and I, I, just...
I prayed
just prayed
and still
have no way to show for what you have said, what you do or did;
so over and over again. . . I just prayed
All I ever needed is a forgiving someone;
And a love of mine own;
so I stop sheading these tears I'm crying;
Need to stand up and be a Godly man(woman);
so I prayed
just prayed
and still prayed forever and a day
Lord, God I'll let you have your way in my life come here do what you do what's may cause all I want to do is just
Pray
And I fell on my knees;
And cried out to the Lord please;
Please save me, save me, save me;
so I prayed
just prayed
and still good God almighty I am entitled to pray and stay in the will of His and be one of many child's so I fall on my knees over and o'ver agin and just
Pray
I close my eyes with a sincere heart;
myself bleeds and I stay in His presents;
He embraces me caress me forgiving me He engulfs me in His agape love;
and I prayed
and I prayed
and I prayed and asked for forgiveness
each and every second, minute, hour, morning, noon, night, (always)
and I prayed
just prayed
and I prayed
for the answers
and I prayed for blessings;
and I prayed for longevity;
and I prayed to be with Him, forever in Heaven;
and I prayed for you;
will you pray for me to;
May God bless those that read these words;
so I prayed
for your life
and I prayed
that everything will be alright
and I prayed
for all mankind
and when things get you down
and no one seems to care
just go inside your closet and stay..
just pray
this I pray
and I prayed

Ever since I met you, my dear
?My life has not been the same
Before I found you?
I was lost, sad and lonely
?Going nowhere as fast as possible
I was stuck
?Did not know what direction to pursue
?At the intersection, watching life go by
I was lost, lonely
and full of despair
?Then one day I saw you
The girl of my dream?
Standing there on the side of the road
I was filled with terror
?Could not speak
What if you refused to see me
?What if you denied my protestations of love
What if you walked away
?Never to be seen again
I knew I had to do something
?I had to do it then and there
And then you came up to me…?
Your voice
The voice of an Angel
?Sweat, full of light
Fun and entire sunshine
Ever since the day I met you
?Whenever I feel down and depressed?
I look at your picture
And sunshine fills my heart
?And I am confident, happy and ready
To face all of life’s travails
?As long as I have your love
?And your support
I can overcome all obstacles?
And face all dangers
Together we can do most anything
Without you I will be lost
?In the swamp of despair
So my dear?
Please stay with me
?Forever to the end of time
Let us journey forward
?Never looking back
?My love, my life
The sun in the sky
?The moon that lights
my dreams at night
?The stars that beacon far away
Thanks to the Gods above?
For bringing you into my life
And I promise
I will love you
?Forever and a day
Just to see your face?
Is heaven itself
Just to hear your voice?
Is all I ever need
My love, my soul mate
?Hurry back to me
We have so much loving to do
?So much living to do
?So much to do together
Walking confidently
?Boldly into the future
Without you
?All is nothing
?But dust
With you?
Everything is possible
My love
?Until I see you again
?A thousand kisses
And a million thoughts of love?
That will have to suffice
?Until we are reunited
My love, my darling,
?My life and dreams
Hurry back
to rescue me
?From the despair and darkness
?All around me
Until then?I salute you
Oh Queen of my Heart?
General of Love
?Captain of my Soul

lying here waiting for my time to end
looking back at my past my dear friend
the things that we have been through
and all the happy times i spent with you
do you remember when we first did meet?
i think it was down in Elizabeth street
it was a cold day in the middle of may
and i was lying in the gutter that day
you helped me up and brushed me down
before you took me home across town
i had been homeless for about a year
and you decided to give me one, my dear
that day on, i fell deeply in love with you
standing there wearing just one old shoe
i smiled at you through my unshaven face
as you walked with me back to your place
people stared hard at you for helping me
but your good heart they could not see
you kissed me in front of the supermarket
and one old lady dropped her small basket
i was nervous when we got to your house
you noticed i was quiet as a field mouse
as i entered your humble abode with delight
i noticed it was so beautiful and bright
after i washed, shaved and was fully fed
you let me sleep in your spare single bed
in the morning you gave me some breakfast
and i hope this dream would forever last
but it was not a dream, it was for real
finally life had given me a wonderful deal
eventually we got married and had a family
you, me and our children, John and Jamie
we had good jobs and a brand new home
which outside stood a happy garden gnome
John grew up to be successful racing jockey
and Jamie became a television personality
we were so happy together for many years
until the day that our eyes cried some tears
that day the doctors told me i was going to die
with this cancer, it is now time to say goodbye
i loved you my dear, please do not be sad
you gave me a good life when mine was bad
i would of never been so happy without you
and i always had treasured that one old shoe
from the time we met that cold wintry may
to remind me to love you forever and a day
let my love stay forever in your precious heart
for now from this world i will gracefully depart
goodbye my dear........................................
.................................................................
i,m sitting here all alone,
praying that you will only phone;
to talk to you will make my day,
to be with you is what i pray;
i want to have you here by me,
your love forever is my plea;
to feel your love and your touch,
is what thrills me oh, so much;
i want to kiss your warm full lips,
as from your body your love drips;
to stroke your hair and kiss your breast,
love you forever is what i attest;
to put my body close to yours,
as we make love for many hours;
so always be right by my side,
your love from me should never hide;
stay forever in my life,
never cause me pain and strife;
hold me tight and kiss me long,
with you forever is where i belong;
stay with me through all the years,
fill my heart and calm my fears;
love me forever and a day,
you as my wife is what i pray.
Weird Ways and Good Old Days
If feature was made into a modern day
About past, wonder what it would say
Things have been done in weird ways
And were always called good old days.
This to some might sound like a crock
But we had a party on every block
Goings were easy and never tough
Knew how to play Blind Man's Bluff.
During each day was Carolina blue sky
And we would all play Mother May I
With much vigor and a lot of pep
To either take giant of small step.
We were nice, kind and never mean
Played Red Light mixed up with Green
While there living like a local native
With new games we had been creative.
Boring new games and news have become
Put in thumb, pulled out prune not plumb
Shriveled up and over back was bending
Can you imagine him to White House sending.
What if we were to have Hillary instead
Already made and slept in White House bed
Know below are two states called Carolina
Where they are supposed to store the China.
Has knowledge of where things should go
What wall to place a Benet or Gainsborough
And no one there will look at her suspicious
Knows difference between cat and doggie dishes.
Knows dots from dits and triangles from squares
And about foreign affairs she never despairs
She still is a faithful lover of Steve Schultz
Has his characters on all of her quilts.
After further experimenting in a lonely lag
What they came up with was some old crab
Who forever and a day resided in Vermont
Can't tell can't from caunt and ant from aunt.
Here is something else between you and me
Poor soul only has undergraduate degree
And out wonder how many would flip
When service responsibility he did skip.
If someone were to be an brilliant inspector
Berne had been a conscientious objector
And even though he may be slender and tall
Is Senator from almost smallest state of all.
(This also goes for City he was a mayor of.)
Last thing I know is he thinks guiding the
VA can be counted for foreign affairs. He
must be the only one who cares.
