My best friend are my cats

They leap with such agility. 
They are a living form of tranquility. They run around with elegant speed. 
I swear I think they must be smoking  weed. 
They run around in a playful spree. 
,showing off so the world can see. 
Buster runs around in the heat. 
Just to bring  me a little treat. 
Stella is the only girl. 
That eat too much and then calls Earl. 
Chase is the baby of the bunch.  
He will hit you with one quick  punch. 
They all are loving in their own way. 
I love them more each passing day. 
Their is nothing like three furry friends. 
They all will love me until my end .

Me stuttering

When I  was  born. 
I was born to  fight. 
My words  were trouble and they didn't come out just  right. 

Kids would laugh and call me names. 
Just because  my words wouldn't come out the same. 

I dream my troubles would just go away but  
My words were still hard to say. 

 I would  come home  into  my  room and cry  
Sometimes I  wish  I could just die 

I went to a speech therapist  and  
My life wasn't the same. 
That's when my words begin to change. 

When it was time to read  
I used to have a big frown. 
 Now you couldn't stop me from putting my left hand down. 

Never  ever  give up a fight  
Believe in God and  he will make everything alright.

Where are we going?

Where are we going?  
I really want to know. 

Because what's going on right now 
I really don't like the show. 

People are dying left and right. 
But we are staying together for the fight. 

Prices are high and finding a job is low. 
Everyday seems to go really slow. 

What are we going to do?  
Do you have a clue.

I can tell you. 
But most of yall don't want to know the truth. 

What  I can  tell  you  is  do  this everyday. 
Tell your love one's that you love them. 
Before they pass away. 

Also  ask God to forgive you 
Everytime you  pray.

Where are we going?  
I will end with this. 
We got to stay together. 
Are we all will be dissmiss.

What is a leader

What is a leader?  
It's not what leads us today. 

What is a leader? 
It's someone  who gives. 
Not takes things away. 

A  leader is someone you can stand behind. 
Not someone who tries to undermine. 

What is a leader?
It is easy to see. 
It's  someone who is going. 
To keep us free. 

A leader listen and make others 
Want to  follow.
Not  someone who is super hollow. 


What is a leader? 
It's  not what we have today. 
I wish this leader would just  
Go away.

What does God think

What does God think of us today?  
I think he is ready to come back and  
Take his earth  away. 

I think he's is almost  ready  for the end. 
Because all we  do is live in sin. 

We fight with each other every day 
When we should be coming together to pray  

What does God think? 
What should we do? 
 We should live for each other and  
Help other brothers through. 

What does God think?
I will end this way. 
Let's lift someone up and. 
Help them through their day. 
Let's make God proud in every way.

Happiness

Happiness comes in a joyful way. 
It brings brightness even on a dark day. 
Pure happiness runs deep. 
With faith in God, 
He will keep. 
Be joyful and full of cheer. 
You never know when your time is near.
We all unite. 
Embracing happiness with all might. 
Happiness resides deep in our core  .
Keeping us happy forevermore.

Why am I'm here

Why am I'm here today?  
It's to spread his word and. 
Beg people to pray . 

What does God want from me? 
To open people's eyes and. 
Help them see. 

He wants me to spread his word and. 
To shout it out loud. 
Like a chirping bird  

He wants me to be like him and. 
To not  give up when life becomes dim. 

What do you think he wants me to say?  
To let you know. 
No matter  what  everything is going to be okay. 

My  reason to be here is clear as day. 
It's  to help other people and. 
Lead them the right way.
