Farm Life

A day on the farm can be hard work.
Like feeding the pigs and
catching the chickens.
You kick the dog and
throw the cat out the kitchen.

Boy this farm work can be hard.
Run out of the house
down to the barn.
The chores are piling up
but thats just life on a farm.

Milk the cows and call the sheep.
Fight with the goats to trim their feet.
Feed the horses and curry them down.
I'm sure glad I don't live in town.

Fire up the ole tractor
drive out to the fields to
work the ground thats made of steel.
It starts to rain but thats okay cause
we still have to work the cows today.

Your body is hurting by
the end of the day.
When you lie down in bed
you start to pray.
Lord will me another day.

As I think over my day.
I thank God, and have to say.
Even tho it's hard work
from dawn til dusk
I'm glad, I live on a farm.

Cherokee People

Centuries ago there was a people
How they fought to stay alive
Emerging through rough country side
Removed from their home land
Over the long trail of tears to Oklahoma
Killed along this trail was alot of their people
Evening came and went, they rejoiced to be alive
Elements of time help keep their spirits strong

Patients kept them going as they pushed toward home
Eventually they made it to the land given them
Over time the people grew and became strong again
People are afraid to say I'm part native american
Let your voices be heard of your nationality
Even now in all this time my people live

Teenagers

Teenagers, Gods wonderful treat
They start out as babies
Are always under your feet
But you know they are so sweet

They are our blessings
We can't deny
Even though all they do is cry

First year, second, made it threw
Third year, fourth, getting the groove
Fifth year, sixth, made it to school
Seventh year, eighth, it's running smooth

Ninth year, tenth, there growing up
Eleventh year, twelveth, they don't shut up
Thirteenth year, they hit the spot
Now look what we got, teenager

Teenagers are wonderful creatures
Was put here on earth to be small teachers
Turning their parents gray headed over night
With worry, pacing, and all the fights

But they are our children
No matter what 
A blessing sent from God
Each parent got
To nurture, love, and help them grow
And watch our teenagers sow
Their seeds in life
We love them so

Silent Angels

Are there angels, who really knows.
Some say they walk to and fro.
Keeping a eye both day and night
so we are safe in our life.

Some are sent to hold our hands
To walk with us in the sands.
Some lie beside us in the night
to help us fight our fright.
And are there with mornings light.

Are there angels who really knows.
As human beings, you know
Seeing is believing.
Just as faith helps us grow
You can't see faith as you well know.
Search your hearts, so you will know.
Are there angels, I think so.

Imagine With Me

Imagine for a time with me
Look out across a huge prairie
As far as the eye can see
The winds blowing softly
Making waves like on a sea

Imagine for a time with me
How the indians lived you see
They lived in teepees
Out on this huge prairie

Imagine for a time with me
The summers so hot
Winters so cold
And never enough food to eat

Imagine for a time with me
The people many, old and young
No medicines to heal the sick
No doctors in their mist

Imagine for a time with me
With death brought life
And made them cry and sing
I really do wonder how
Through all hard times
They ever exist to be

Me and My Rhymes

There was an old lady
That lived in a shoe
Had so many kids
And adopted me too

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
I wish he'd stop
stealing my candle sticks

Little miss muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curd and way
I sat down beside her 
She told me to go away

Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow
And every where mary went
She didn't ask me to go

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
I ran up the hill and grabbed the pail
Just to here them holler

Old mother hubbard
went to the cubboard
To fetch the dog a bone
Distracted by the phone
I grabbed the dog and
Took the poor thing home

The Rose

The rose is a symbol of love.
       It was given out of Gods love
       to each and everyone.
       It blooms each year to let us know
       that God is always near.
       It's beauty is beyond compare
       to any of the other flowers
       that God has placed for us here.

       As we go through our daily chos
       we all should take time
       to think of the rose.
       just as God has made the rose 
       with all it's splender and beauty
       He has done for us also.

       He has made each of us with special care
       And if we falter he doesn't care.
       His love is unconditional
       and for this I am so grateful.
       It makes him smile to see us grow
       and bloom with his love
       to share one to another.
       So always remember the beautiful rose.

The Bouquet

God took him to heaven
   to place in the spot.
In a bouquet of flowers
   for the one open slot.

He was needed fo something.
  What, we don't understand.
Just something important
  that's now in God's hands.

For now the bouquets complete
  and it shines so bright
for the spot is filled now
  all by God's might.

For the wonderful bouquet
  in God's holy sky.

Mommy

Mommy, mommy
Please don't cry.
I know it's hard to say goodbye.
Just remember everyday
I'm just a heartbeat away.

I know you love me, yes I do.
Cause i felt your heartbeat too.
And as you go each day through.
Always remember that i love you.

So mommy, please don't cry.
dry the tears from your eyes.
Always carry me in your heart.
That way we are never apart.

Some day soon we will be together.
With a smile and heart  to heart.
So mommy, mommy please don't cry.
And wipe the tears from your eyes.

Angel Wing Away

I know it's hard to take the pain.
When I had to go away.
But when you get lonely
and heavy at heart, just remember,
I'm just an angel wing away.

Play a lalaby and close your eyes.
Cause I'm just up in the sky.
Daddy, even tho I've gone away.
I know that I was loved.

Some day when we meet again.
Up in heavens sky.
We'll sing, and laugh, and play.
So daddy remember,
I'm just an angel wing away.

Daddy keep smiling.
Even tho we are apart.
Cause God has made a special day.
We will fish the day away.
And never have to part.
