Honor Our Veterans

The bombs have dropped
 and shots long ago fired.
Although some are dead
 the others have retired.
Through the deadly jungles
 and other rugged terrain.
These are the lucky souls
 who still do remain.

So please honor them...
Our military Veterans.

Blood and tears they 
 have shed for this nation.
Fighting for our freedom
 and our families preservation.
Our respect they deserve
 and their bravery not forgot.
For fame and fortune
 they have not sought.

So please honor them...
Our military Veterans.

He Lives

Here on this early,
 beautiful Easter morning.
Thoughts run through my head
 that gets me contemplating.

Jesus Christ and his
 miraculous and great resurrection.
That saves us from death
 all through his connection.

  Our perfect brother
   through God... yes He lives! 
  Our friend, our redeemer.
   I know now He Lives.

As the clouds slowly part
 and the sun shines through.
With a steady beam of
 light so pure and true.

Now in my heart and mind
 I see my descending Savior.
Could it truly be
 this souls lone creator?

  Our perfect brother
   through God... yes He Lives!
  Our friend, our redeemer.
   I know now He lives.

Man's Best Friend

They are the defenders
 of our peaceful homes.
Sniffing out any trouble
 like fine toothed combs.

Serving military or civilians,
 they make us proud.
So listen to their warning
 when they bark aloud.

The loyalty and love
 they constantly do show.
If returned, this bond
 will continue to grow.

As canine or dog, they
 are great to the end.
They enjoy life as
 man's best friend.

Lovely Sister

For the one who smiles
 and brings my heart joy.
Your precious little soul
 I would so employ.

Oh sister, lovely sister
 How you have blessed me.
With your love so strong 
 That everyone can see.

Always my closest friend
 in terms of the heart.
Forever we are bonded 
 and will never part.

My sister, lovely sister
 I'm so very thankful.
Your presence in my life
 Has made life so wonderful.

Fly On the Wall

Unlike the social butterfly
 I am rarely even seen.
For I'm much more tamed
 Than the rowdy teen.

Comfortably I sit and watch
 All the commotion unfold.
Listening to all the drama
 And stories that are told.

Although in the crowd
 I might feel a bit small...
No way do I mind being
 The fly on the wall.

Bless the Children

With their light hearted smiles
 and funky dance styles,
they make us laugh
 and see our better half. 

So let us then,
Bless the children.

Seeing them playing together
 in the sunny weather,
they prove us so wrong
 on not getting along.

So let us then
Bless the children.

Showing us pure joy
 in one simple toy,
they help us learn
 our joy in turn.

So let us then
Bless the children.

Blade of Grass

On a single blade of grass,
 this young grasshopper chews.
Slowly letting time pass
 yet always in search for
A newer, fresher blade of grass.
 Hopping from yard to yard
Still this grasshopper can't surpass, 
 Munching on every delicious,
New, green blade of grass.

Rats

Awakening, dripping in a cold sweat
 from my dreamt fate...
Looking around for life or movement in
 this pitch black, damp room.
Catching the glimpse of Rats
 in the far right corner.
Wondering in the back of my mind
 if they're coming for me.
Scaring myself with the thought of
 those sharp white teeth
Penetrating my now pale skin in 
 fury to devour my being.
Pulling the sheets in tighter for
 some sort of protection.
Assuring with this now
 that they won't bother me.
Telling myself that this is still
 just a bad nightmare.
Trying to go back to sleep
 with a pillow over my head.
Screaming upon the touch of something
 hairy and scratchy.
Rushing up my legs like a swarm of
 blood thirsty Rats!
Opening my eyes only now to see
 hundreds of tiny red eyes.
Scurrying about my furniture and bed
 with rage or revenge?
Realizing only now that the numbness
 from the cold is gone.
Feeling now that the pain now has
 begun and will increase.
Forcing myself with curiosity to see
 what damage is done.
Shrieking back from the sight of
 them chewing to my bones.
Shaking them off with pain and agony
 in hope of saving myself.
Causing the Rats to only clutch on 
 tighter and dig faster.
Fearing the worst for my life I 
 could only let it happen.
Being covered in my own blood 
 and a lust for death.
Asking myself how I could possibly
 deserve this torture.
Remembering nothing to help me in 
 answering this dreadful question.
Eating through me still with
 their razor sharp claws.
Wanting nothing more but to kill me
 on bite at a time.
Running away the Rats are finally done
 and I slip quietly into death.
Awakening, dripping in a cold sweat
 from my dreamt fate...

Deep Tears

Peering into the window
 of this lonely soul,
You may see heavy rain
 taking a major toll.

Although you think you
 see me with a smile...
I'm as sad as a 
 lonely old crocodile.

For the troubles of 
 this solo wandering heart
May never find its
 other missing counterpart.

While I just sit
 here with my peers
I'll be drowning in
 a river of deep tears.

Sun Upon the Sea

With the warm sand
 between my little toes,
I look out to sea
 and catch all those
Waves crashing on the
 peaceful long shoreline.
Then the sun peeks out
 from clouds so divine.
Lighting the sea into
 a wondrous glimmer
With almost a hundred-
 thousand little shimmers.
As I look back 
 into your eyes, I see
You have stolen the
 sun upon the sea.
