David Pennington Poem
I watched him as he stood there.
Teardrops trickling from his eyes.
I often wondered what he was thinking.
That drew emotion from inside.
I knew him as a gentle man.
With strength gained from a righteous life.
Found in love for God and family.
As his wife stood by his side.
His rugged face showed the years.
From challenges thrown at men.
And struggles triumphantly beaten.
Not to bother him again.
Is this why his tears did fall?
No, the reason to me lost.
I do know that I saw his eyes.
Graciously fixed upon on the CROSS.

David Pennington Poem
what do you ask of me
you already get 25% of my life
for i try to survive
but i am not sure
if you want me dead, or alive

David Pennington Poem
I KNOW I SAW HIM YESTERDAY
HE SPOKE TO ME OF LOVE
"IT COMES WITH A FRIEND"
HE SAID."ONE FROM UP ABOVE".
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED
WITH HIS HEALTH
QUIETLY HE PASSED AWAY
RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
WEPT AND PRAYED
FOUR DAYS SEALED
WITHIN THE TOMB
WHEN HIS BEST FRIEND
CAME TO SEE, MANY TEARS
HIS BEST FRIEND SHED.
THEN IN A LOUD VOICE
AND THANKFUL PRAYER
CAME TRUTH, WITHOUT A LIE.
"COME OUT MY BROTHER
FOR YOU WILL LIVE
AND NEVER SHALL YOU DIE".

David Pennington Poem
I can take my nose off my face and put my it between my fingers
It does not drip, or sneeze, nor do boogies linger.
I can also put my nose back.
Nobody else I know can do that.
I can wiggle my ears when hard I try.
My ears wiggle so fast I can almost fly.
My ears flip and flop and dance all around.
I can feel my tip toes lift off the ground.
Well its not so hard to do you see.
And nobody else can do that but me.
I can roll my eyes about.
From side to side and in and out.
Around and around and up and down.
Until my eyes see so far that anything can be found.
One hundred miles or more I see.
Nobody else can do that but me.
My feet can move as fast as cat’s paws
And put to doubt Newton’s three motion laws
And I can jump so high that my head touches the clouds
Then when coming down I turn flips times three
Nobody else can do that but me

David Pennington Poem
I was asking a friend just the other day
If there was anything he'd do to help me on my way
He said he'd like to but I was asking to much
All that stuff in the back of my pickup truck
I haul it around every where I go
Where its gonna end up I don't know
One day I'm gonna get rid of that junk
That stuff in the back of my pickup truck
It's full of broken promises and wasted prayers
A lot of hurt feelings caused by I don't cares
Love gone bad loaded up with pain
Its enough to drive a normal man insane
Every place I go, I think I don't belong
I just can't understand where I went wrong
But people don't care why my life is so tough
Damned that stuff in the back of my pickup truck
Could unload any place, of no use, not very fair
Lord I am on my knees with a foxhole prayer
Please take this hell away from this old drunk
Rid me of the stuff in the back of my pickup truck

David Pennington Poem
What is time?
Is there time Is time perhaps in the wind? casually in the wind?
Time passes by, time slips away
Time is in our hands, only to fly into the distance
If time flies by, at what speed does time fly
The speed of sound, of light?
People spend time. Can a price tag be put on time?
If I take time, does time become mine?
When I am given time. Do I spend it wisely?
What can I buy with time? Something I can see?
For I cannot see time. Can You?
Time is measured, accurately? No! I don't. Do you?
Is aging time? Do we often become afraid of time
Seeing people dear to us pass on
Does time stop for souls passed?
I have heard there is no time in Heaven
Infinity! Can time be greater than INFINITY!!
Does time go on and on, forever and ever?
Not ending. Even though we may or may not
Accept that one day for us time will be over
So if there is no time in Heaven,
So when our time is over here
And our time has come to a stop
Why do we worry about time
If time for God is all we need
Keep the faith and earthly time will pass
For me I think I will give God my time
For whenI reach the pearly gates
And St. Peter lets me in.
I know God will have time for me
For with God time is eternity

David Pennington Poem
Who is this guy that sneaks around lightly
Then slinks behind his desk so quietly
He just sits at his desk and pretends to take calls.
But I noticed he actually does nothing at all.
His eyes focus in, on the girls in the office.
He constantly visits the room where there is coffee.
He smiles as a sweet beautiful lass passes by.
Never looking her straight in the eyes.
Instead his stare concentrates on her chest.
When out of range he whispers, "WOW! What a nice set."
Then back again to his desk he retreats.
And returns to his terrible, obnoxious, lazy streak.
But one of these days he will lose his great job.
And so will become an unemployed slob.

David Pennington Poem
Its Going To Be A Wonderful Christmas
I watch you across the room and I get a feeling inside
It is a feeling of being a part of a most wonderful ride
As we ride down a snowy lane in a one horse driven sleigh
You snuggle close to me and bells ring out as if to say
It's going to be a wonderful Christmas
Everybody seems to be in great Spirit this year
Its going to be a very merry Christmas
A Christmas when couples fall in love
And I know how they feel down inside
Like stealing a kiss on a snowy sleigh ride
I take the reins while you snuggle close to me
While we watch the snow falling all around us
And I lean your way to steal a quick kiss
You do not for one moment, resist
Oh what a wonderful ride we share
While the children throw snow balls our way
Laughs and giggles fill our voices
We kiss again and we sing songs of our choices
AH Ha Ha, there is joy all around us
The world is a place of fun and glee
Especially when you lean in
To steal a kiss from me
Yeeesss! It's going to be a wonderful Christmas
Everybody seems to be in great Spirit this year
Its going to be a very merry Christmas
A Christmas when couples fall in love
And I know how they feel down inside
Like stealing a kiss on a snowy sleigh ride

David Pennington Poem
I am sitting in this bus station, waiting to go home
Oh Georgia its been a long, long time and I feel so all alone
I want to feel the crisp morning wind, whispering through the pines
Down by the river in a special spot, I called all mine
Hey Nashville Oh Nashville you never played my songs
And put my songs on the bottom of the pile of no play ones
Nashville I Guess you had a lot of fun proving this Georgia boy wrong
Hey Nashville, Oh Nashville you never played my songs
I was a struggling song writer and not good enough for Nashville’s
newest scene
16th avenue was not what I figured, but I thought I met their every need
But it just wasn’t good enough, so I picked up my guitar left I got out
Now out of money and with plenty of time just sitting waiting for that bus
With no regrets and no bad feelings about the chances that I took
I made a lot of friends, the nightlife was fun and the parties really shook
But my heart does ache and I my pockets are empty with a big hole in
my boots
Now I am going down to my country home and get back my roots
Hey Nashville, Oh Nashville you never played my songs
Guess they got on the bottom of a pile of no play songs
Nashville I guess you had a lot of fun proving this Georgia boy wrong
Hey Nashville, Oh Nashville, You never played my song

David Pennington Poem
This road is long and road is long and rocky
Like others Ive been on
At times its paved with silver and gold
And sometimes its a muddy mess
But whether its smooth or rocky
The Lord knows Ive done my best
I chose good and some were bad
But where my choices lead me
Have gotten me where I am
I have paid the price in honkytonks and bars across the land
Ive thrown my share of punches
Been knocked down on my can
Taken my chances at cards and dice
And fooled around at love
Some girls I chose to get rid of
And some of I never got enough
I walked in the face of cold dark wind
And came out on the sunny side
I swam across rivers to beat the tide
Im another man taking another stand
Waiting for my time
And when my time is over one thing I know is true
Life's been fun even if this road
Took a bite out of my youth
