I thought I heard you calling in the rain from afar
What do you need on this gray day without a star?
The fog is lifting, revealing a crystal light
If you look in the sky, you may also see the sight
Perception can change, quick as lightening to ground
Blink your eyes, look again, to see what you have found
I thought I heard you calling, beyond the pounding rain
Let it be a washout for that lingering pain
Perception can change just about anything
Without losing the moment to things that sting
And this my friend, allows us to sing!

Stains of the past wiped out with a swish;
Tears of remorse melting marks of our errors.
Quick as lightening, removed in an instant;
He forgets what we've done as we beg for forgiveness.
Before we are finished, the Supreme One who hears,
Renews our bond of love and removes sin's chains.
Remembrance of pain erased from the heart,
Our debt was paid through the ransom from God.
Nothing we've done can interfere with His Grace,
When we turn to doing good and ourselves remake.
(Acts 3:19)
Snake Alarm
I have a mate called Paddy,
Who lives inside me car,
He never made it home to daddy,
He's brown n long haha,
He loves dem little brown Frogs,
He'll slurp n suck em down,
Brown boot polish makes him snazzy,
But beer does make him frown,
Yes he's as quick as lightening,
If he's striking at your face,
An if he bites you on the bum,
We can't suck the venom place.
A heavy Dude the Brown.

Cassius Clay, in his day,
was bloody hard to beat...
but smoking Joe stood toe to toe,
and no he wasn't weak,
fought the rumble in the jungle,
just the ladies made him weep:)

quick as lightening Cassius was,
tapping slapping dodging cos,
the big ole thumpers if they clipped,
pon ya ear it ud hurt a bit,
just floating slappin hey....
Thanks Russell mate...Don
for Cassius Clay,
it all seemed play,
to slap and taunt a bit,
lightening quick, weaved and hit,
and sidestepped, jumped away,
but time the toll does pay,
like me, he's had his day:(
best boxer he was it!
Laying on all fours,
observing the world, surrounding her every day.
Standing erect, with her paws, pulling apart blinds,
window viewing, longing, to go outside, to play.
Running is she, in the house,
going every which place, to a room.
Become quick, as lightening, on her feet,
one would swear, one could, hear her, go zoom.
Ready to reply, to her human,
when there is someone or something, out of bind.
Not afraid, not one bit, to anyone,
to meow, what's on, her mind.
Leaping upon a place, of warmth,
on a couch, or on a human's lap,
If close to you, she comes to you,
around your leg, herself, she wrap.
Covered with a body of color,
and a hint, of cloud white.
Is a feline, whom has, become,
a true and amazing sight.
