The Silence Is My Stage

I find it most difficult to write
When I am mentally disturbed
I've been sitting here for an hour
And I haven't written a word.

My mind is cluttered
With unimportant things
Then I have to leave my desk
Just because the telephone rings.

What makes it so bad
Is when I answered the call
It was a phone recording
It wasn't anyone at all.

Once again I get started
With pen in hand
There goes the ring
Of the telephone again.

I will not answer it
I just will not
But this continuous ringing
Has got to come to a stop.

I'll unplug the telephone
I'll turn down the ringer
Better yet!  I'll put the answering service on
All it takes is a touch of a finger.

Finally, I have peace of mind.
Complete silence - and plenty of time.

The writing goes well
There is page after page
I don't want to stop
The silence is my stage.

It's Reality

It's reality - that this world will come to an end
It's reality - that everyone has a friend.

It's reality - that things can be better
It's reality - that sadness could be sadder.

It's reality - that God made man
It's reality - to survive if you can.

It's reality - to make a go in life
It's also reality - to think twice.

It's reality - to have a sense of touch
It's sure enough reality - to love someone too much.

It's reality - that a tide is high
It's also reality - to see a grown man cry.

It's reality - to keep on growing
And it's reality - to keep on knowing.

It's reality - to push and strive
And it's also reality - to stay alive..

Friends

Remember the night we first met?
A simple introduction - and that was that!
But you kept your eyes on me - I learned in the end
Because you really want be a very special friend.

Yes, I was scared 
Grinding my teeth - rolling my eyes
But I learned later - you were the nicest of guys.

So time passed by - we met again
Then it was I who wanted to be
Your special friend.

Well, I think we're special friends
And I want it to last
It looks like fate has joined us
The die is cast.

You give me the greatest joys
That anyone could ask for
Our special friendship
Who could ask for more?

Now That the Work Is Done

Now that the work is done
I can relax for awhile - and the have some fun.

Here and there - I run about the house
Then off to do some shopping - all about.

Now I can relax -and put up my feet
You can believe - the work was no treat.

Body aching - feet and back
Thank goodness it's over - thanks for the slack.

To recline back - on a sofa so soft
Feel the aches ease away - the pressure is off.

Before you know it - you're so at ease
Next thing you know - you have fallen asleep.

Aah!  What a wonderful rest from the day
Of unlimited work - and no extra pay.

Now that I've had my rest and a nap
Thank goodness the work was over - before I snapped.

Just to snap - could have ruined a good day
It could have hurt peoples feelings along the way.

Now that the work is done - I look to a new day
As I lay me down to sleep - to the Lord I pray.

My Prayer

My dear Father, who art in Heaven
Oh, how I need You today--more than yesterday
Hallowed be Thy name---the name of Jesus
Lord, I need you now and always.

I've been lonely--and I've been sad
I've been angry--and I've been mad
My heart's been heavy--my thoughts impure
I kneel to pray--dear Jesus, you are the cure.

My dear Father, who art in Heaven
I know I can always turn to You
Hallowed be Thy name--the name of Jesus
Blessed Jesus--You are the cure.

I pray to feel Your presence surround me
I pray to feel Your love seep through
My mind, my body, and my soul
I kneel to pray, dear Jesus, to You.

Forgive me, dear Father, who art in Heaven
Forgive me, Lord Jesus, of my sins
Hallowed be Thy name, the name of Jesus
As I kneel down to pray--Amen.

Each and Every Time

Each and every time I see you - a sensation forms
Generating vibes that keep me warm
Every time a sensation exists
Travelistic moments that never miss.

Each and every time I hear your voice
You seem to leave me no choice
So, I fantasize on the vibrations
That brings about a lovely sensation.

Each and every time I'm close to you
I experience something spanking brand new
Lovely moments in many fashions
Creations from the heart - Pure love passions.

Each and every time I hold you near Babe
I let my mind run free - and lay
Nature begins to take its course
And nothing but love begins to endorse.

Each and every time you grant me a kiss
Something unique tends to exists
Glorious moments - beyond compare
No one could create a more gracious affair.

You and I

You and I, together as one
Living in harmony, yes love has won.

Sharing each day in each other's love
A perfect combination - between both of us.

Whatever is mine - is your too
Love has brought it together - for me and you.

As free as the rivers - that run deep
That is our love - in perfect harmony.

It's unity - together as one
It's unity - love has won.

I Just Followed My Heart

When I first saw you
It didn't happen from the start
I took another look, and
I just followed my heart.

You were just another Guy
Joining the crowd at-large
The second time I saw you
I just followed my heart.

I realized the relationship
Negative - on my part
But, when I saw you the third time
I just followed heart

I put my arms around you
"I missed you" I harked
I went on my merry way, and
I just followed my heart.

You showed again; and right on time
You rode me in your car
We laughed and talked; just like friends, so
I just followed my heart

In times of sadness - you were around
Participating and doing your part
You took me for another wild ride, and
I just followed my heart.

My feelings for you began to grow
I felt like a star
You suggested that I don't get serious, but
I just followed my heart.

The moments we spent together
In the sunlight and the dark
Were the natural feelings of love
I just followed my heart.

Somewhere a True Love Lies

Hold your head up high
Look into the sky
Don't let it pass you by
Because somewhere - a true love lies.

Don't think of giving up
Though it may seem rough
Just give it all you've got
Eventually you'll have to get enough.

Just sit back and relax the mind
Things will get better in due time
Just be patient and wait for the sign
Because this love will be one-of-a-kind.

It will be everything you've asked for
Listen for the knock on the door
And the footsteps on the floor
How will you be able to ask for more?

Just like a cloud in the sky
You notice it - and wonder why
Anyone would ever try
To create someone hard to identify.

But, love does have it's way
Just like the days
It's like something you crave
Or, a fire with a blaze.

So, keep holding your head up high
Looking deeper into the sky
Remember - don't let it pass you by
Because - somewhere - a true love lies.

Wish

I know I'll never find a genie-in-a-bottle
To make my dreams come true

Because I live nowhere close to an ocean
To walk on a beach without shoes

But, if I could have my own special genie
To make my dreams come true

I'd wish for this and I'd wish for that
I'd wish for some dreams to come true

I'd wish to be out of financial debt
That would be a dream come true

I'd wish for a life of relaxation
Able to care for the less fortunate, too

I'd wish for happiness - in my heart
I'd take the three wishes for a start.
