I wrote and sent you another letter
But down deep inside it don't make me feel any better
Hearing the sound of your voice now that's a different story
For right now however, she is the one who gets all that kind of glory
While I'm the one afar waiting and adoring
God what I would give for just once more to have your touch
But all with me has been hushed
And once again I'm left here to handle being crushed
You have yet to really get just what exactly you do to me
And how loving you made me see
Just how to love unselfishly
As well as unconditionally
So this letter I wrote and sent you contains what together we share in, sentimentality
But you don't have to worry I know all to well the reality
Of you coming back to me
And how it may not again come to be
However I can keep right on hoping and dreaming
For here in this time and in these very moments
The hoping and dreaming is all I seem to have left and you need to somehow be shown this
I wrote and sent you another letter
But no for now it still don't make me feel any better
...but if you are happy then you go on trying to be in love with her...
~Kindness Is... ~
(Anaphora)
Kindness is to show you care in any way
Kindness is giving something unselfishly
Kindness is truly loving and caring for others
Kindness is to show respect to anyone we meet or know
Kindness is showing compassion when someone needs it to
Kindness is giving a sincere smile
Kindness is saying a kind word or two
Kindness is being nice to each other
Kindness is not being rude to anyone
Kindness is spreading God's love to all in this world.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
- Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
Romans 12: 12 ( NIV )
-The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
Exodus 14: 13 ( NIV )
~Author's Notes:
"The Anaphora" poetry form or style in writing or speech, is the deliberate repetition of the first part of the sentence in order to achieve an artistic effect.
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
- Mark Twain
Inquiring of my grandparents to explain love,
Teasing grandpa said, "Togetherness alone pays."
I asked him, what's kept you together all these years?
"Tethers do not work, the secret is frequent hugs."
In short, what do you credit your long marriage to?
"Tough love means you don't always say what you're thinking."
Interesting, Grandpa, how you shoot from the hip.
The ball's in your court now; Granny, you have your say.
"Imagine love's like ball games, you win and you lose.
Teamwork means that each player has a job to do.
It's never about winning every single game;
There's those times when you win by losing, so it seems.
Indeed, God says, love others as you love yourself.
To place your partner in front of you is true love."
In retrospect, both my grandparents made their point;
They agree: love puts others first unselfishly.

The Assignment
The Assignment
I understood
Whether it was bad or good
The Assignment was to do
What I was instructed to do
What happens if you don't have a clue
How do you lean not towards your own understanding?
When life becomes so demanding.
How do you bounce back ?
Keep yourself on track !
It's like being a car
That needs an alignment
When you understand the assignment
I understood
The Assignment
I understood well
I just want to pass the assignment and excel
(Repeat 1x)
Verse 2
Pen and paper
Paper and pen
I am ready for the assignment
Taking it all in
Write the notes
Take heed
Giving myself unselfishly
Turning the page
One page at a time
No rushing
Because I will miss
Miss something I needed
Nourish my soul
Lord feed it
I can be wrong
Sometimes Im right
Lord just continue to shed your light
Show me my purpose
Keep reminding me that I'm worth it (worth it)
All the blessings
Keep them coming
I just want to run and
Then stop never won't my blessings blocked
I understood
The Assignment
I understood well
I just want to pass the assignment and excel
(Repeat 1x)
Hook
The Assignment , the test
I promise to give it my best
(Repeat 1x)
I understood
The Assignment
I understood well
I just want to pass the assignment and excel
(Repeat 1x)
(Repeat until chorus fades)

Sports figures and movie stars
Singing groups and trips to mars
Make everyone scream and shout
But heroes are not all about
Making money from their fame
Of acting, singing, signing names
People who act from their heart
Every morning when they start
To spread kindness, love and cheer
Showing the world that they care
Acting so unselfishly
Being there for you and me
Singing out with all their might
I will stand and always fight
For the helpless, poor and weak
Justice they will always seek
Signing their names on petitions
Making sure that their intention
Never fails to help strangers
And a world that’s full of dangers
Turn into a better place
With a smile on their face
So next time you want to praise
A celebrity on stage
Please remember next to you
There might be a hero too
There are people everywhere
Showing signs of how they care
It could be an angel hiding
In your life and there providing
Help when its lonely and dark
Somehow you feel a spark
Of love and hope in your life
As you see a ray of light
Shining down, parting the clouds
Following you all around
A kind word spoken so low
With sincerity will show
Someone will soon come along
When everything is going wrong
Pulling away the hurt that's building
Replacing it with joy and filling
Your world with a sense
Of emotions not so tense
As your days are getting colder
And you need a caring shoulder
To release your tears and sorrow
There is one that you can borrow
Any time day or night
Till you start to feel right
In unexpected way and places
Saviors are heavenly graces
That come to us without greed
In our greatest times of need
Safely wrapping us so gently
With tenderness unselfishly
Always making a connection
With their sweetness and affection
Doing good without asking
The rewarding satisfaction
They receive inside their hearts
Make them HEROES from the start
Perfume of tremendous worth,
Emptied from an airtight jar,
Left a sweet fragrance in the air,
As roses on a spring morn.
Promptly brought a harsh rebuke,
Labeled as a wasteful sin.
Others had an insightful view,
It’s too precious to contain.
Basic goods must always flow,
Not withheld with selfish greed,
By the “haves” from the “have not” poor
We must respond to their need.
If they are hungry, feed them,
If thirsty, provide them drink,
If in need of dress, then clothe them.
Be a good neighbor, love them.
Blessings in an airtight jar,
Won’t grace those in poverty.
The Lord’s way is better by far,
Share blessings unselfishly.
Inspired by Mattew 25: 31-46
The Star Spangled Banner gently undulates o'er this noble nation,
The symbol of freedom since this country's turbulent creation.
Though trampled upon and debased by many around the earth,
The flag has become a beacon of hope since the moment of its birth!
On June 14, 1777, The Congress adopted the flag of our nation,
With thirteen stars and stripes representing a new constellation!
Valiant patriots from that genesis down to this very day,
Paid the price upholding the flag and liberties we enjoy today.
O'er many decades, gallant soldiers clashed in awful strife,
In Civil War and upon foreign soil defending our way of life.
Midst the throes of battle and clouds of billowing smoke,
Eyes e'er on that tattered banner, their ranks never broke!
The grand old flag is proudly carried in small town parade,
And from courthouse spires it is prominently displayed.
In the local cemetery, tiny flags decorate a hero's grave,
To honor him for the sacrifices he so unselfishly gave.
The final tribute for which Old Glory is displayed,
Is to blanket the bier upon which honored heroes are laid.
The clarion notes of "Taps" wafts hauntingly through the air,
As faithful warriors are committed to His tender and loving care.

Sometimes men need forgiving
When they don't know how to ask
Words really are unmintionable
If painfull the recent past
A womans heart is fragile
When given to the man she loves
She knows she can't take it back
But only be scorned by love
Hear her silence roaring
Like a lioness looking for cubs
See her eye's exploring
The soul of the one she loves
Feel her motionless body
When seeking the littlest kiss
Her memory totally empty
Of any shared bliss
How can I fix this
How can I fix this
How can I fix this!
I'm on my bended knees
I would do most anything
If I could only please
The thing that once was living
The thing that I once had
Please give it back
It's the only thing that matters
The thing that I lack
I can love unselfishly
And you would be my queen
Remember what I am to you
And wipe the record clean
I won't stray beyond your reach
And we shall be as one
Perhapes to bring us closer
This awful thing was done
February fourteenth shock,
headline news, no valentine.
Fourteen students stilled, shot without regard
for who they were or who they might become,
in complete shock, their families and friends.
Three adults unselfishly
put their bodies in danger.
Others too regarding innocent kids,
proved how very professional they are;
they'll teach anti-violence to their deaths.
Momentary lack of sense,
a future moment ignored,
with florid disregard for liberty
fiendish nineteen-year-old Floridian
flaunted common sense only fooling one.
Students across this country
in a March fourteenth walkout
spoke against weapons in the hands of youth.
When words fail to register right from wrong,
more laws will never stop misuse of guns.
Responsible behavior
is taught best when also shown.
