I want to see the world
Through the eyes of a child
I want to feel my heart smile
As I chase the flight of a butterfly
I want to know my soul is alive
As I listen to the wind inspire
I want to see the stars so alive
Dancing a waltz in the moonlit sky
I want to see the love I feel
Pouring out hope, faith and grace
Across those who happen into my path
Warming my spirit with their tenderness
Reassuring my heart that love is alive
It is kind. It is wise. It is a brilliant light…
Reflecting the joy that inspires art
Illuminating wonder that colors souls…
In the beauty and mercy of His ways
I want to see this creation
Through the eyes of my Maker
The One who gave me life and love
The One who poured His light across my soul
The One who reminds me He is worthy
I want to see His handiwork, His design
Through the eyes of my soul, my hope, my love
I want to see the lemony sun kissing my life
I want to see the rustle of leaves awakening autumn
I want to see the intimacy of God’s mystery
I want to see His spirit in every breath, each caress
I want to see God in all the hearts I encounter
I want to see this world
Through the eyes of a child
See the inspiration come to life
In a smile, a hope and a prayer
I want to see His love stirring souls
To listen to the silence, the wonders
Of a world that praises Him with adoration
That can only be felt, never heard
Adoration that comes from the heart
Who knows He is light. He is life. He is love!
He is the reason I can always be sure…
My heart and soul are safe in His hands
My hopes and dreams and all of my plans
Are sure to come to life because He is…
The One who guards my thoughts, my hopes
With His powerful shield, His protection from harm
His forever light enlightens every shadow
With a promise of peace and grace…
A gift of love that survives every doubt
He is love… and I am His child
I am inspired… by the One I delight in
The One I worship with every idea
The One I respect, adore and believe in
The One who is my maker, the creator of all…
The answer to my prayers, the star of my soul…
He is love… and I am His cherished baby!
Light of the world… thank YOU for salvation!
Janette,
right in front of me
I see a face of regret and two eyes
that have been captivated by blindness;
Janette,
admit your guilt and accept the reality,
stop being selfish and silly...
be humble like me!
Janette,
in my presence, you reveal little joy;
have I denied you passionate kisses?
And if a hug is too little to make you happy,
what else can I give besides tenderness?
Janette,
are you the same woman
who had strong feelings for me?
Who has betrayed our trust and pretends to be
as faithful as you should be?
Aren't you surprised by my disdain?
Janette,
don't shake your tree,
nothing will fall out...
you have taken it all in stride
with one breath of greed,
and watching me bleed
you feel no sympathy for me;
Janette,
yesterday we fell madly in love, and tomorrow looked bright;
today, we're falling out of love and we're hurting our pride!
I wished for sunflowers to lift their heads.
Feeling the warmth of your breath
They gently sway in tune with my love.
I wished for passion and earthy sweat
Feeling every inch of your sweet skin
Its totality, outside and in.
I wished for starlight to sprinkle dust
That sparkles like fireflies in the night
That I might see your eyes light up.
I wished for soft warm welcoming sand
To feel it bathe my eager feet
While wavelets lap at your tenderness.
I wished for nectar to quench my thirst
And found the memory of your first kiss
That took me to paradise and beyond.
But above all these things I desire
Ii is more time that I need the most -
To spend over and over again, with you.

I think of you
The way you say my name
Like a kiss
A blessing or wish
I think of you
The way you give love away
Like a smile
A kindness twinkling in your eyes
I think of you
The way you always pray
Like a heart
A thought of giving without expectation
I think of you
The way you light up my soul
Like a dream
Who has finally come true
I think of you
The way you laugh at mistakes
Like a sunny day
Lifting shadows and sharing grace
I think of you
The way you lift up God’s name
Like a psalm
Created by the writers of old
I think of you
The way your life has been blessed
Like a summer rain
Falling with feelings of tenderness
I think of you
The way you whisper to my heart
Like a silent song
Embracing the spirit with hope
I think of you
The way you bring faith to my reflections
Like a kind word
You’re a friend who is a blessing!
I think of you often
And I want you to know
You’re a part of my heart
Who teaches me to grow
In hope, faith and love
Sent down from above
Your heart is kind, so amazing
A blessing, inside… my soul is praising
You’re a piece of the life, God gave
A life full of purpose, a chance so brave
Your soul is faithful, such sacrifice
A sweet smelling joy, heavenly spice
You’re a miracle of grace, God’s light
A murmur of love that feels so very right
Your story comes alive as dawn rises
A blessing of pure wonder always surprises
You’re a healing of the heaviest heart
A music poured out, a song that won’t depart
Your tenderness is like a breath of hope
A sweet ember of encouragement so I can cope
You’re a friend who is worthy of each honor
A promise that tells me all my fear is a goner
Your natural ability is to always inspire
A sincerity that reassures my wildest desire
You’re more than a blessing, I can’t describe
A blessing that is just what Jesus did prescribe
When I first met you, I didn’t realize
How your light could be brighter than sunrise
Now I know that you’re more than a friend
You’re assurance that my gratitude will never end!
Thank you, my friend – for all you’ve been
I’ve loved you since our friendship did first begin
Why is a kiss such a passionate thing
That smolders from deep down inside
The tenderness of two moist warm lips
Trigger emotions too intense to hide
For centuries, it's been a symbol of love
Throughout just about all of mankind
The fiery intensity, the closeness of souls
Invite lovers to explore, to find
Blood pressure rises, we quiver and shake
Words to describe it don't exist
A euphoric overwhelming passion happens
Raising senses to a feverish pitch
Culminating in the ancient act of love
Another indescribable sensation
The explosion of two bodies uniting as one
In a twisting, spiralling gyration

tumble, little tumbleweed
come play ‘round my feet
I’ll dote my cares upon you
midst tenderness, replete
tumble, little tumbleweed
until you've found a place
devote time to appreciate
the treasures you embrace
tumble, little tumbleweed
dance your wonders, wild
tho’ I call you tumbleweed
you’re but my dearest child
tumble, little tumbleweed
learn and dream and grow
I'll love you thru the Evers
though I will watch you go
tumble, little tumbleweed
strong and straight and true
now I must let you tumble on
please kiss me, sweet, adieu
tumble, little tumbleweed …
tumble.

When the loss of a dear one
makes you cry opening a photo album...
seeing a lovely face that was
the center of your universe,
a sun ever-shining through rainy days
that would make roses bloom:
there are no truths to hide when one is alone!
All you had left was the last ounce of courage
to keep on living and pushing forward without restraint;
when the road you drove on was bumpy, not flat...
the horse pulled it with force, but soon broke
down diverging from its course and causing doubt;
a stagecoach driver would have pulled the reins
and told him where to go to avoid the orphanage!
When the loss of a dear one leaves
a tremendous void in your existence,
and you try to replace it with prayers,
seldom holding tears back wiping them
with your fingers to touch their bitterness,
tasting the sweetness that makes them sparkle
and the frightening shadows that make tremble!
A mother is dearer than a father,
she nurtures you since birth and teaches you truths,
giving you tenderness and all that completes life;
losing those two is too painful to bear,
you would love to be held in those arms
and become smaller to feel their love bigger
than their smiles, more radiant than sunshine...
who values them more than a gem awaiting on time!
Long ago, formed by His hand
Courageous and bold
Like the oak and the elm
Whispering truths
Silencing every doubt
They call to the spirit
With tenderness, inspiring
A fire that brings passion
Alive, wild and warm,
Soothing the spirit and
Coloring the will in brilliant hues
Of God breathed guidance
Old as time, they seem so wise
Haggard and worn, their charm
Is the laughing dreams
That fall like a summer rain
Lifting hearts and stirring souls
To listen to the sighs
The vibrant lights and highs
Of peaks climbing toward the
Clouds in heaven, rising
Like emerald rumors, inviting
The promise of wonders
Discovered on these hills
Where laughing pines unwind
To the melody of wrens
Soothing away all fear
Their ridges walk paths, completed
By rocky trails, routes
Toward the places where
Cool, clear water baths
The smooth stones in liquid
Love that comes from above
Comforting the spirit
With peace that can’t be created
By anything else – nothing
Can imagine the kind beauty
Brought alive in the heart
Of the Blue Ridge Mountains
This place is like a fountain of grace
Pouring hope out across the mind
Leaving faith to abide inside
And assuring hearts that love is alive!
*AN ODE TO MY LOVING ANGEL*
Shout out to the super woman in you
That strong and resilient spirit human
Not many women are lucky to have been blessed with it
You're simply a lucky one amongst many
Not just lucky but uncommon
Not just uncommon but unique
Kudos to the Lady that could sail safe in the ocean of my turbulent anger
I doff my cap to that Lady that remained calm even in my deafening silence
Honour be that Lady that lost no single strand of hair when fixing my anomaly
You tamed the beast in me and forged a man
She bore shames and concealed her pains during my shameless deeds
She bottled her fury and shrank her many agonies in her tiny veins
She held back the fire in her tongue and tightened her fist
Just to contain the explosion inside of her
She had a thousand words to speak
Yet she looked into my eyes and she could only say a little with her tears
She shivered, yet unshaken.
Many times she cupped the molten fire and cage it within her ribs
I wonder why she hasn't roasted her heart yet.
She's beautiful, even in her blue mood
She keeps her cool even when I make her feel like a fool
Sometimes I wonder if all she did and does are true
But I am sure, you can't find such of her like two
I'll fight for you even if I'm left bruised
My diva my lover
Thus so far we've come
Still I know I owe u in sum
But I can assure you, I'm never gonna leave you in the slum
I'll wash you clean like a water laced with alum
Here we are going to be I'm seeking no asylum
My angel my queen
I may have got numbers but I bet you, you aren't on no queue
You've got my heart, my beats and such the rhythm of my blues
You always guide me with loving rules
And always assures me of better tomorrow soon
This is all but for you
Your calmness, meekness, humility, gentleness, tenderness and respectfulness
This day is for you because you made it come
More days that we will live won't be without us
My money, time and sweat shall be for you
You're a goddess above a million other gods
