TGIF

Today GOD comes first
Dig the follow quench the thirst
Mental relief stress set free
Passing it on to you from me

I got it honest
from people in prayer
wanted the best for me
and that paved the way

Learned about grace
and forgiveness too
that I'm a work in progress
my apologies to you

If I ever hurt you
did you wrong
made you feel less than
didn't help you carry on

But as we grow we learn the truth
No excuse but goodbye to youth
Thoughts have grown, humble center stage
Stay positive going forward, negative now in a cage

But the challenge returns
when the peace takes a breath
Life is one constant battle
So i say what's next?

Stay in prayer,
keep hope alive
You might fall down
But you can get up with GOD on your side

NO NEED TO ASK

Today my world is spinning by design

Rotating on its axis and the thoughts in my mind

Fueled by omnipresent images of you on a carousel 

Blowing kisses in circles that only I can feel

You are love and I'm surrounded by the feeling

Never had to ask because I've been forever willing

To fall in love with you before you ever asked

This is my utopia and to that I tip my glass

Filled with champagne dreams wine wishes come true

My heart could never find another heart, that beats like you

So we stay in rhythm and it feels just right

Dancing to a concerto called love at first sight

You see when worlds collide and green lights stay

It leads to happiness when you walk this way

No obstruction, nothing blocking the view

I've seen nothing but love since the day I saw you...

LOVE THIS PLACE

I have a place that you need to see

A view that takes my thoughts away

Time moves but stand still at the same time

Lets my thoughts control the moment

Clarity is my best friend here

Doubt waits in the car

Parked but wanting to move

But it can’t get that far

So I sit in the breeze of today

feeling the wind of the world

Reminding me it’s all temporary 

Even shorter than that

But for this moment 

I am married to peace

joined by a carless whisper

That tells me

We must come here more often…

I JUST DON'T KNOW

I’ve had so many options

That other people chose

Didn’t really want them

But nobody really knows

Trying to find the answers

for the questions in my life

I know time is ticking

But I still don’t see the light

So I press on, stay strong

I don’t know what’s right

But so much is wrong 

and when it comes to the question

What life has for me

I don’t know, I just don’t know

Tried the long path

the short cut too

The complimentary

Even paid my dues

But my satisfaction

Isn’t satisfied

It’s no secret how i feel

and my eyes won’t let me lie

So I press on, stay strong

I don’t know what’s right

But so much is wrong 

and when it comes to the question

What life has for me

I don’t know, I just don’t know

So round and round I go

but i feel like I’m standing still

I’m trying to figure it out 

But with no winning cards in my hand, tell me what’s the deal?

I'VE GOT A SECRET

I’ve got a secret 

and I wish I could tell you

I think one day I will

Just to see how you feel

But here’s a clue

Maybe two...

It’s like a field of colorful pastels 

in permanent bloom

Made perfect when she walks into view

Sun shine silhouette  

following her like a golden glow

Appearing out of nowhere

like never before

She’s a dream come true

And I wish I could tell you

The honey bees pause

To see the sweetest thing

Nature’s finest work

Listen to the birds as they sing …her praise

Animals are stuck in gazes

Confirming her queendom 

in this kingdom

She is a mystery unseen

and this glimpse will last forever

Stories to be told of her beauty

Will grow and get better

For generations to come

One thing’s for sure

She is the one

I really want to tell you

And the secret is out

But I didn’t tell

Nature took it’s course

beauty by force

eyes had to look

one time was all it took

yes we’re all hooked

ohh she I can’t resist

But it’s a secret

and I’d be remised 

If I didn’t say 

It might be you

But it’s a secret

and I wish I could tell you 

I think one day I will

If you haven’t already figured you out

In the mirror you’ll see there’s no doubt

I got a secret but i’d rather have you

I WISH

i wish we could get rid of fine print

I wish people would say what they meant

I wish rich people would spend every cent

Yeah I wish

I wish you knew I tried

that I tried to love you even when I lied

I wish when I broke your heart mine died

Yeah I wish

But my wishes seem to be vapors

So quickly they disappear

I close my eyes wanting you

and open them and you’re not here

So I pull out my pen and put ink to paper

It all looks good but then…reality becomes the eraser

Yeah I wish

TIME

Not on my side

But it keeps track

Can't turn my back

Or I've lost seconds maybe minutes

Days move too fast

Nothing seems to last

Youth has expired

So times foot is off the brake

It used to move slow

When life was a question 

I didn't know the answer to 

But since I've grown

Mysteries are now known

And lights are always green

Life waits for no one

Time keeps ticking

Don't blink now

Just keep reminiscing

It's over in a flash

Like the 60 yard dash

Hopefully it won't crash 

And allow me to make a splash 

And leave my mark on this world

It's only a matter of time...
