Grandchildren Are the Future

They say grandchildren are the future to see
Watching them grow has been special to me
We laughed with the good and cried at the bad,
But felt every emotion of happy and sad.

I have three grandchildren special to me
Special in their own ways as they may be,
One at a time they’d stay at my place,
So I’d be sure, to put up my vase.

Two have grown into a young adult
Except for one, who’s still as a teen?
They’re more helpful, and like to clean,
So to all, I’d like to share my result.

The grandchildren, their children will be the future
Of what we were, a long time ago
And be able to flow, with the knowledge to grow.

When You Marry

Marry when the year is new,
Always loving, kind and true,
When FEBRUARY birds do mate
You may wed, nor dread your fate,
If you wed when MARCH winds blow,
Joy is sorrow both you’ll know,
Marry in APRIL when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man,
Marry in the month of MAY,
You will surely rue the day,
Marry when JUNE roses blow,
Over land and sea you’ll go,
They who in JULY do wed
Must labor always for their bread,
Whoever wed in AUGUST be
Many a change are sure to see,
Marry in SEPTEMBER’S shine,
Your living will be rich and fine,
If in OCTOBER!  you do marry,
Love will come, but riches tarry
If you wed in bleak NOVEMBER,
Long the day you will remember,
When DECEMBER’S snows fall fast,
Marry and true love, will last.
If you marry not at all
Strikes me you’ll be happiest of all.

A Rose

A precious petal
A falling leaf,
A dew-damp sepal
A kiss
A perfume, the
most precious droplet
Of tear-drop dew,
A kiss of love
from Me,
to You.

Man With the Voice

There was a man named Elvis
Whom they say had a gift
That gift was his voice
A voice that always had a lift.

He was a great man who lived
A friend to everyone he touched
He was happy making others happy,
Let the poor, feel there was hope;
He had a voice that did so much.

Gave the meaning of giving
Like air to which we breathe
Enjoyed grateful looks, of the living,
To see he's trying to help out;
In a life, with so much misery.

So here we go with that voice
That was trying to change this world
To be more of a giving one
And let us know, we all, have a choice.

One Voice, Their Voice

Eyes of an animal can speak to your soul
They show us what we’re missing
Ask us for love and protection,
To be themselves and always be whole.

Some humans think hurting them are fun
Would they like the same done to them?
They wouldn’t that I do know,
So we must be a voice for the helpless
Be sure they don’t cower and run.

Show others the kindness to give
Whether to animal, or our own
We need to be a voice, their voice
To show them they again can live.

Let’s be the voice they count on
Let them have a better life 
Know all humans aren’t all that bad,
They are the spirits of the world;
Have them feel, the hurting is all gone.

Where Would I Be Without My Love

If the sky did not have stars
And there was no planet mars,
If there was no brilliant sun
Setting in the horizon;
Where would I be?

If this old world did not spin
And the folks did not have any gin,
If Adam never had an Eve,
And man knew not how to believe;
Where would I be?

If I couldn’t see the TV
Or those eyes smile at me,
If his voice I couldn’t hear
Or his presence wasn’t near;
Where would I be?

When he gives me that famous kiss
If I didn’t feel it was for me,
If his love, couldn’t always be
Or his beauty covers me;
Where would I be?

Yes, where would I be?
Without, my darling love.

Untitled

I know this guy named Scotty
He invited his Harem for toddy
So they all can sit and talk,
About anything, that pops up
Now they are done with their cup,
They bid farewell to Mr. Kippen
And promise to come back, hopping and skippin.

A New Beginning

Tears fell when I saw you
With someone altogether new
You couldn’t have waited till I left
Before leaving me alone feeling blue.

After you told me your love
Wasn’t for me, 
My tears fell hard from my heart,
So now, you have set me free.

I took for granted all these times
With my tears crashing to the floor
That you cared and loved me so
Then you just walked out the door. 

But I believe in my heart
That this will be a new beginning
And dreams really do come true,
For God was there, from the start.

Feeling Alone

Where do you go when you feel so alone?
And life has closed its doors on you
No one to sit with you and hold your hand;
So to ease that feeling what do you do?

Sit in your room and heave a heavy sigh
You think of the frustration we all feel
Then feeling alone once again, makes you cry;
And you shut everyone out of your mind.

But it doesn’t have to be that way
We all have that someone to turn to
Open up to when troubles come knocking;
And people that won’t make us feel so blue.

So whenever you feel so alone, reach out
To that special person in your life you feel
Won’t turn you down and leave you alone;
And always makes you feel like your real.

Memories Served

Ever wonder what life would be like
to go back in time to your past
Be able to reach your youth, once again
and make things right, so it will last.

However, it is hard to do just that
because in life we're destined to move on
To grow and become who we are today, 
Learning to accept, the lives that are gone
Lives of loved ones, you held close in your heart.

To be able to hear their voices once again
would be the greatest gift of all
But we have to face that will never be
we must treasure the memories of our past
Try to move on so our lives can be free.

So into the future we shall look ahead
Always remembering the days gone by
when we were the happiest of all time.
