Gods Coloring Book

Fall is Gods coloring book,
All the reds orange yellow and greens.
Nature couldn't be so bright. 
Technicolor on a movie screen

If you don't think of God in fall,
You don't have a belief at all,
There are 3 other seasons of the year,
But nothing like fall even compares,
The most beautiful season, in the hemisphere

Praying Alone

Pray all alone since you've been gone
Knew all along, something was terribly wrong
Had to realize I wasn't that strong
Now in my head, only sad sad songs

My Wife

"The love of my life almost 60 years"  

Put a small red rose on her grave, all in tears "

No Car No Wife No Money

I have no car, I have no wife, Guess that's the story of my life  

Got married in my early twenties 
Had no car, Had no money 

I fell in love with this girl named Honey
Got a part-time job mowing grass
Finally had a little chance 

Bought a new TV, Black n white
Always in bed early, tossed and turned every night 

My Honey went to work at a local store 
Wasnt a Walmart, Not one in sight 
But that soon changed overnight 

Bought a used Pinto , Thought i was class 
A little bitty car didn't use much gas 
Bought a little kitten, Then a pup
Then the Pinto and I ran outta luck 

Got hit in the rear the damn car blew up 
Really put me in a rut

Had some burns a few minor cuts 
Think my Honey was gonna go nuts 
Honey its ok im all right 

"Well, how do I  get to work tonight? "

At the store where she worked, she ended up in a fight 
Went to jail 4 days 3 nights 
Then when I thought I couldn't take any more 
She ran off with the guy next door

There I was no car, no life no money
No little girl I called Honey

Turned on the radio what do I hear?
 
Willie n Waylon crying in beer 
Think that's bad,  They should be here 
Had no glass, much less a beer 

 Had to get a job close to my tent, Had no money to pay no rent 
Found a job 2 miles away 
Pumpin gas, So little pay 

Met a girl I liked a lot 
2 months later we tied the knot

Sure wasnt gonna call her Honey 
She made my life bright, called her Sunny 
Then 2 months later,  it sure wasn't funny 
She worked in a bank, Stole a lot of money 
Put in prison, 10 to 20 

Not gonna mention the other 3 wives 
I'm just lucky to survive 

It all comes down to this 
None of them do I miss
But all in all, Lifes ok 
I'm still alive in the USA 
Still No Car, Still No Money 
But that's ok,  Life is funny 

Don't need No car, No Wife, No Money

Stay In the Game

Living alone, Sometimes happy, Sometimes sad 
Don't  have near the stuff I had 
 My Mom and Dad have passed away 
All my children have moved away 
  My wife lives with another man 
Still doing the best I can 
 Sometimes fall asleep early, Leave on the lights 
Sometimes I stay up all night 

Been all over the world, England, France, and Spain 
Had a lot of good times 
Had times of pain 

Life with everyone has Highs and Lows 
Somethings Fast Somethings Slow 

Wish I could turn back the hands of times, See my parents one more time 

More things change they remain the same  
Feels like life is one big game 

Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you win 
Sometimes you don't know The beginning from the end 
  Sometimes you're cold Sometimes your Hot 
Sometimes you Push Sometimes you Pull 
Could always be worse Could always be better 
Life changes all the time, Just like the weather 
Somethings change and change a lot 
Somethings I remember, Somethings not

Sometimes  you laugh, Sometimes you Cry 
Sometimes your Low, Sometimes your high 

When it comes to Smartphones I'm really dumb
Now Video games I can play some 
ReallY, Really can't wait for Fall  
Love just Love to watch Football 
Don't like Hockey. None at all 

Don't drink any hard stuff, Beer, or Wine 
But coffee and sweet tea all the time 

Love little kittens, pups, and plants 
Can't stand mosquitoes. flies. or ants 

Some people like hunting others fishing 
Some people spend their lives just a wishing 

Some people fish with hooks or nets 
But one Thing for Sure we should Love our Vets

Some people are Gay, Bi, or straight 
Some people are poor, Not a lot of Wealth
What difference does it make 
If you're true to yourself 
If you have a job, Big or Small 
Whatever you do Give it your all 
Guess we are all different 
And a lot the same 
Just remember one thing 

                       STAY IN THE GAME

Gods Notions

Stop when your feeling low, 
           Look at Gods creation, brilliant nature, 
           Look up at the moon, the stars, the sun  
               Never worry about Gods notion,  
            He's the one that puts things in motion

I Just Wanted To Really Die

"Thought the saddest day of my life, was the Christmas day I lost my wife" 

"But I soon found out it wasn't close"
"I lost my daughter who I loved the most"

"Everyone told me please, please try "
"All I could do was sit and cry"

"Never left my house, Day or Night"
"All my friends said, that' not right 
 
"Go outside, breathe some clean fresh air
"Didn't want to, Didn't care"

"I just wanted to really die"
"Be with my family in the blue sky"
