The Sign

A dumb man spoke without a word
Through tired eyes that gently cared
A blind man saw into my soul
Whispered words yet unheard
A  poor man gave me sympathy
Its all he had but it was free
Follow the path you know thats true
Life will be rich and so will you
An old man spoke as if a child
As into Gods eyes he then smiled
This man I am young for a while
Will try my best in lifes short time
Sometimes to fail, but thats no crime
He died but tried and left this sign
I lived a life that was not mine
Belonged to Death for all time.................!

Words That Walk

Words that walk 
Become alive
Walk through pages
And survive
Words that run
Are never heard
Go so fast
No one cared
Words that pass
Every day
With the wind 
Are blown away
Yet I know
Just three words
In life are free
Words to you
Words to me

I LOVE YOU!

The greatest words
We will see
Words that walk
Forever free.................

How Many Miles In a Lifetime

LYING SILENT IN MY HOSPITAL BED
NO INSPIRATION CAME TO MY HEAD
THEN A NURSE WAS HEARD TO SAY
AN INTERESTING QUESTION TO INSPIRE WORD PLAY

HOW MANY MILES IN A LIFETIME?

I REMEMBER IN THE BIBLE TEN TIMES AND TEN
A TIME TO GIVE UP AND CALL IT WHEN!
ONCE AN OLD MAN GAVE ME GOOD ADVICE
TREASURE EVERY DAY YOU DO NOT LIVE TWICE!
DO NOT CARRY A LIFES HEAVY LOAD
A CLEAR CONCIENCE BRINGS LIFES LONGEST ROAD!
