Diners Club Welcome!
Of my nose, Pop said, he could not save
Thru his laughter, told me to be brave
Blood hit the ground and froze
Still, it gushed like a hose
Soon after, the dead, rose from the grave
Their pennies popped when they saw the flood
So, they dived on top and dined on blood
But, once they had their fill
They used

WELCOME TO PARADISE
May we all be blessed to welcome everyone into our own paradise
wherever we may go…
And once we welcome them in
to do our best
to try and make it so.

WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTER
I didn’t want to light the flame,
But damn, you handed me the match.
We played a bitter little game—
Now neither one can scratch the scratch.
I offered peace, I begged, I tried,
You laughed and chose the sword instead.
So now the happy parts have died—
I burned the photos in my head.
The goal was never you or me,
It somehow

Death Bids Me Welcome
Death bids me welcome
Into his tended garden
Where quiet plots of bramble clots
House names now long forgotten.
Engravings faded, darkened serifs
Tower over brighter plaques
Sooted over gentleman
Look down on neater blacks.
Beneath Death’s open garden
There nods no congregation
A concert hall of empty audience
Unseen by stage commotion.
Their sandstone cradle cots
Swaddled in lichen sheets
Are emptied of their

Welcome to a brand new world new song version
Welcome to a brand new world
Verse 1
How are you feeling right now?
Is there still a yearning in your heart?
You're probably like, ten million or more,
praying for a brand new start
Verse 2
What happened to the world you imagined?
Where justice and peace ruled the day...
Is it merely a dream or wishful thinking,
a fantasy that leads you astray
Chorus
Welcome

you are welcome to them

Strawberry thief, I see you
You may have this one and that one too
We’re not much for strawberries, me and Pru
don’t have to sneak; we will give them away
We’re in the blue house down by the bay
Aba Maba Rhaba Grabba Rue
We’ll have them wrapped and waiting for you

You are mow living a new life
In heaven

Suffering anymore in heaven

Waving goodbye from

On earth

Welcome Home
With pure light, you cannot see.
With pure darkness, you cannot see.
With both, you will see the beauty of life surrounding you.
Mountains, Sea, sky, and life will sing knowing your truth.
Now, your journey begins through the night stars and space.
Your soul now remembers this loving, unknown embrace.
You are home, welcomed in love as you swirl in

Welcome Home
The roads are jammed; the traffic crawls
And rain clouds fill the sky.
The cars are crammed and, on the walls,
Graffiti passes by.
The cabbie shrugs, “That’s how it goes”
As we head slowly home,
The morning’s hugs, you might suppose
The highlight of the poem.
Yet sunny skies and swaying palms
Don’t equal paradise,
So don’t surmise that lifestyle calms,
Though while you’re there

Welcome to the Church
Welcome, everybody to the Church!
The body of our Savior here on earth.
Leave your worldly worries at the door.
You’re not going to need them anymore.
Everyone is welcome, come on in.
You can be forgiven of all sin.
As sinners, we are all in the same boat.
Needing daily grace to keep afloat.
Welcome, everybody. It’s okay.
We understand you’re weary from

The Cycle
Thank you for our lovely evenings
For the mornings, days and nights
Thank you for the shared givings
For our loving worried minds
In my soul you live forever
And I hope you got me there
In your soul, entwined together
We’re the breeze that waves the air
We are waiting in the queue
For permission to get down
To the planet that we knew
This

No Longer Welcome
Forced to give up everything when you died
I was no longer welcome at home
Barely ate, not a penny set aside
Forced to give up everything when you died
Had to leave all my belongings behind
Nowhere to go, from motel to shelter I roamed
Forced to give up everything when you died
I was no longer welcome at home
