THE MUSIC FLOWS

The music flows all through my blood

much like the raging water in a flood

all of the notes the rhythm the rhyme

become a symphony of sound in time

with a pump my heart pushes it on thru

until I set it free to be heard by you !!!

THE TREE

I used to think that I was really something

my very own trinity

just me, myself, and I
I used to think that I was really something

so into me

and so full of pride
but then something wonderful happened in my life

that brought truth's reality

and that is..........
　
It's not about you

and it's not about me

it's all about the one who died on the tree
to bring forgiveness of sins

and to set us all free

to save you from you

and to save me from me
it's all about the one who died on the tree
　
I used to think the whole world

centered around me

but I found out, that it wasn't about me
I used to think the whole world

centered around me

but I found out that it wasn't meant to be
then something wonderful happened to me

the Lord Jesus Christ

came and set me free

because..........
　
It's not about you

and it's not about me

it's all about the one who died on the tree
to bring forgiveness of sins

and to set us all free

to save you from you

and to save me from me
it's all about the one who died on the tree

BROTHER OH BROTHER

Brother Oh Brother how I have missed you so

since some thirty years, away you had to go

so many seasons of this life have come and gone

since we have actively played the friendship song

but in my heart of hearts you were always there

the place you had made being beyond compare

no time or space could take away the fun we did have at play

Brother Oh Brother it's been so great to talk to you again today !!!

FROZEN IN MY FRONT YARD

My eyes are red

my nose is blue

so are my toes

and my fingers too

I just came back in

from being outside

out in the frigid cold

with no where to hide

so just paint me white

and Jack Frost I'll be

frozen in my front yard

for everyone to see (((-:

IN THE GOLDEN SILENCE OF MY ROOM

In the golden silence of my room
I stop to reflect and I think of you
all of the love I've come to know
is because you've wanted me to grow
into what you created me to be
just like Jesus, yet still be me
to touch the lives of those you send
broken hearts that need to mend
crushed and bruised by this hard life
so full of hurt and pain and strife
Oh God please use me till the end
to touch the lives of those you send

I WILL LIVE MY LIFE

I will live my life
in the light of God's great love
no longer being beneath
because He takes me far above
flying high on the wings of faith
He sees me through it all
it is His love for me
such great love
that helps me conquer all

FLITTERING FLUTTERING BUTTERFLIES

Every time I think of you

butterflies take to the air

non stop they go to find you

to remind you that I care

flittering fluttering butterflies

so beautiful to behold

the messengers of love and truth

as our story still unfolds

one flew in your window

and spoke to you of me

he's thinking about you right now

it whispered tenderly

all of his thoughts and affections

belong to you alone

to you and you alone my dear

now I must fly back home

flittering fluttering butterflies

floating through the air

the messengers of love and truth

to let you know that I care

INSIDE OUR HEARTS

She wrote my name inside her heart

and placed it on the sands of time

where anyone could plainly see

that I was hers, and she was mine

sealed in her heart forever more

loves silent sign on distant shore

where sun, wind, and waves galore

could not wash away what her heart wore

She wrote my name inside her heart

even though we're far apart

sealed in her heart forever more

loves silent sign on distant shore

I wrote her name inside my heart

and placed it on the sands of time

where anyone could plainly see

that I was hers, and she was mine

sealed in my heart forever more

loves silent sign on this here shore

where sun, wind, and waves galore

could not wash away what my heart wore

I wrote her name inside my heart

even though we're far apart

sealed in my heart forever more

loves silent sign on this here shore

THE SONG OF THEIR TWO HEARTS

In a far away land

lived a man in a band

who wished to hold the hand

of this very lovely woman

and hold her ever so tight

as they danced through the night

to the beat of their two hearts as one

beautiful music they made

but not a note was played

that anyone else could hear

only they heard the sounds

as they danced to the rounds

of the song of their

two hearts that day

MY SWEET LOVE

The eyes of my sweet love

are like deep reflecting pools

of crystal clear water

that one could stay in

until they drown

The lips of my sweet love

are shapely and succulent

and so lovely to behold

no one has wanted to be

kissed by them more than I

The hair of my sweet love

is like flaming strands of fire

my fingers long to run through

until they turn to ashes

The ears of my sweet love

draw the words of hope

and inspiration like a magnet

from this heart of mine

that was almost dead

but now is very alive again

HOW DID YOU FIND ME MY SWEET?

How did you find me my sweet?

lost and alone was I

with no one but my God

to care about me

How did you find me my sweet?

I had not left a marked trail

that you could follow

to find me so sad

How did you find me my sweet?

when I was so deep

in the forest of forgotten

and broken dreams

How did you find me my sweet?

did my God send you His angel

to guide and to lead

until He brought you to me

How did you find me my sweet?

when I was so deep at the bottom

of the ocean of despair

how did you find me there

How did you find me my sweet?

when I was adrift on the sea

of desperate loneliness

did my God bring you to me

How did you find me my sweet?

I SHALL WRITE ABOUT LOVE

I shall write about love
but I know it quite not
abandoned and all alone
broken heart in my hand
still bleeding and bruised
hurting badly but looking
the light of hope still alive
but I know not how or why
after all this loveless time
I know that it's out there
somewhere in this world
where are you my lost love
are you looking for me too
please hurry and find me
or help me come to you

LIKE AN ANGEL IN FLIGHT

Like an angel in flight

the sound of your voice

and the lyrics of your song

race through my mind

on this dark and lonely night

now with the melody soaring

and with the music roaring

your words are calling to me

taking me higher and higher

into a jet stream of delight

oh the shear bliss of it all

as I beckon to your call

never sensing how high I am

having no fear of falling

as I answer your calling

LIGHTNING BUGS IN THE EVENING AIR

Lightning bugs in the evening air
lighting up almost everywhere
surrounded by little blinks of light
taking me back to long ago nights
of scampering around in shear delight
trying to catch those lights in flight
now you see me and now you don't
they'd seem to say as they'd fly away
lightning bugs lightning bugs so much fun
Mason jar in my hand, gonna catch me some

CREEKS AND STREAMS AND CHILDHOOD DREAMS

Creeks and streams and childhood dreams
show the girls your frog and hear em SCREAM !!!
salamanders in the water under the big rocks
down the water fall in nothing but your socks
those little tad poles and great big mud holes
get your clothes wet and mom will fuss I bet
taking on the world one tree climb at a time
build a fort in the woods this one here is mine
safely riding bicycles around long after dark
skinny dippin in the pond living free as a lark
creeks and streams and childhood dreams
so far away and long long ago it seems

I SAW A FOOTPRINT ON A VERY DISTANT SHORE

I saw a footprint on a very distant shore
a lovely footprint in the grains of sand galore
it spoke volumes to me of the one who made
that perfect sand impression and what it conveyed
that a lovely angel from heaven just must be missing
an angel here on earth who's foot the sand was kissing

ANGEL ANGEL UP IN THE SKY

Angel angel up in the sky
I see you flying way up high
around the earth and over the sea
angel angel please come see me

Angel angel you're so precious to me
and this is why I am begging thee
when you fly around up in the sky
fly close to me and don't pass me by

Angel angel up in the sky
beautiful angel that caught my eye
I wish that you would fly to me
and be my friend eternally

THE SECRET OF HIDING BEHIND A RED ROSE

One can hide behind a red rose

because the red rose won't disclose

what only the hider and it knows

others can only see what shows

and just what the red rose will expose

so don't suppose to ever oppose

the one hiding behind a red rose

she is there because she knows

the secret of hiding behind a red rose

IN THE MIRROR OF MY MIND

In the mirror of my mind
the reflection of a face I see
so beautiful to behold
staring back at me
are you the love
that I've searched for
my whole life long
if you are come along
and I'll make you my song

HEY THERE HI THERE HO THERE

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there

I came to see what you know there

so what have you been doing

and did you have fun

I keep coming to see you

but you're always on the run

I've been missing you so

but now I've gotta go

I hope all is well sooo

give me a yell Oh

I'M HOME AGAIN HOME AGAIN

Among friends and yet family

feeling all warm and loved
the most wonderful present

sent from heaven above
there's nothing like the feeling

of coming back home
after years out on the road

always being alone
sitting in the silence

while everyone else is sleeping
reflecting on precious memories

one hopes will not be fleeting
past and present things we've shared

the laughter and the tears
moments that make this life so great

as we struggle through the years
I want to sing of our lives

and all the things we've shared
I want to sing about the love

of all my friends who cared
I want to sing about the lives

and love that mean so much to me
I'm home again home again

it feels so good to me

YOU MY DEAR ARE

You my dear are of the

very best part of the whole

like a diamond in the rough

with lavender chocolate and

all of that other good stuff

Yes, you my dear are of the

very best part of the whole

an Aba-So-Lutely amazing

and a picture perfect soul

THE FAIREST OF THE FAIR

They see you staring off afar

in the valley of your dreams

they see you loveliest by far

standing amongst the greens

the sun is caressing your hair

blue sky says none can compare

and the flowers also want to declare

that you are the fairest of the fair

RIDING SHOTGUN ON A TIME MACHINE

Riding shotgun on a time machine

is the coolest thing I've ever seen

now you're here and then you're not

flying through time until you stop

forward, backwards, time between

this is so cool just like a dream

THE WINDOWS TO THE SOUL OF YOU

Your eyes, your eyes, they tell no lies

full of life, truth, and love, so very wise

such beautiful peepers definitely keepers

I pray full of laughter and seldom weepers

so beautiful, very lovely, incredible eyes

the windows to the soul of you I surmise

HOW LIFE SHOULD BE PLAYED

A beautiful smile

and very hardy laughter

these things in life

are so worth going after

fun times with friends

the sharing never ends

all these memories made

is how life should be played

SHE'S RUNNING ON EMPTY

She's running on empty

trying to fill her life with everything good

moving too fast to really

enjoy anything worthwhile

got to get ahead of the game

before she goes up in flames

like a well known hare

running here and running there

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late

for a very important date

Student, worker, wife, and friend

daughter, sister, and then again

someone straining to get ahead

spread so thin it could be said

a little here, and a little there

but nothing too much anywhere

I've got to go, I need some sleep

she might be in a little too deep

I don't mean to be leaving

this all up in the air

I just want you to know

how much I really care

IT'S SNOWING IT'S SNOWING

snowflakes painting the landscape

SNAP CLICK & TAKE A PIC

Snap click & take a pic
a frozen moment in time
the eye of the beholder
just grown a year older
getting so much better
just like a very fine wine

YOUR WORDS YOUR WORDS

Your words mount up with the wings of eagles
and speak to the very deepest part of my being
like healing balm they touch the very heart of me
softly written, carefully chosen, nuggets of gold
like was buried and hidden in the pyramids of old
a rare treasure of letters and syllables before me
the essence of a living life, oh how they infold me
your words, your words, what they have told me
about you, the one who wrote them, now I see
your words, your writing, your words, all of thee

HEART STRING SYMPHONY

You play the strings of my heart

like a symphony for two

you, and only you know

just what the strings will do

my beating heart is in tune

and all the notes will soon

be a very gorgeous melody

that will rise and fill up the air

with sounds so sweet and fair

our heart string symphony

ANGEL UP !!!

Angel Up !!!
Angel Up and off again she flies
yet not into the lovely blue skies
but out in the streets touching lives
hurting souls that life has despised
bringing some hope to the hopeless
and loving help to bless the helpless
mending wounds both body and soul
and this is how this Angel's story goes
Angel Up and off again she goes
going where no one else wants to go
to touch broken lives that need to mend
those who need a touch from God and then
out in the streets and shelters and homes
out in no mans land where only she will roam
spreading the good news of the love of Jesus
her Lord and God with whom she well pleases
Angel Up !!!

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

Out with the old and in with the new
except for one thing and I'm keeping you
your friendship devine has got to stay mine

your friendship is one that to keep I really ought

Out with the old and in with the new

you're so much better than silver and gold too
and more precious than diamonds is my friendship
with YOU !!!

IT'S SUNDAY IT'S LATE SUNDAY

It's Sunday It's late Sunday
and heading fast towards Monday
soon the alarm clock will be ah ringing
and all the birds will be ah singing
the coffee pot will be ah perking
and the covers off I'll be jerking
stumbling all the way down the hall
trying not to run into the wall
or stub my toes and take a fall
that really hurts and is not fun at all
get in the shower and wet my head
cold water brings you back from the dead
the smell of coffee calls from the kitchen
three really big cups I'll be ah sippin
I pray your Monday's better than mine
and I really hope YOU like my little rhyme

SCREAMING IN THE SILENCE

Screaming in the silence
of a long and lonely night
trying to make the words come out
but they hide
yet still I fight
It all swells up deep inside me
the thoughts, the fears, the plans
the deep recesses of the soul
that makes me who I am

I look around and I see
that it's not only me
their everywhere you see
people just like me
who are screaming in the silence

Alone or in a large crowd
people around me everywhere
locked up and hiding within my thoughts
no one to really care
all locked up within my thoughts
Can't open up I'm about to bust
wanting to find someone to trust
set me free from this place that I hide
where it all stays locked up deep inside

I look around and I see
that it's not only me
their everywhere you see
people just like me
who are screaming in the silence

AS LONG AS IT ENDS UP BEING MUSIC

Up and down and round and round

I keep trying to create musical sound

sometimes with lyrics sometimes without

as long as it ends up being music
