389 Lord Give me a Way Out (The Preacher)

Lord show me a way out!
The physical pain I bear every day
The stress I endure each day
Give my doctors your wisdom

Restore my purpose in life
Establish my verve
Take away the tediousness
Transport me around the bend

Reinstate your purpose for me
Bring back my confidence
Escort me to Moriah
Where strength and faith be my attire

Give me Your grace to follow Your lead
Give me Your strength to succeed
Bless me with Your mighty power
Sustain me every hour

Walk with me during my failures and successes
Guide my steps
Direct my desires
May my heart rest in Your peace

May my prays like incense rise
To Your mercy seat in the sky
If it be Your will
Your commands I will fulfill

307 My Garden in the Rain

When I was young, I planted a garden in the rain
I sowed dreams,hopes,wishes and desires.
I fertilized with love ambition goals objectives determination
My garden grew as I grew
But sometimes in life’s relationships undermine challenge dwarf your intentions
Weeds began to sprout in my garden
Jealousy envy covets lies deceit lack of support
I realized soon that in our romance she would rather
Lead when we danced!!
I removed the weeds that quenched ambitions
I moved on
And found someone who helps me fertilize
My garden in the rain
*****************************************
Remember love is respect and you deserve it
don’t settle for anything else.

292 – You Don’t know What you have till it’s Gone

The value of time is often required in a relationship
The time you put in is what you get out
Sometimes the timing is off
Maybe you maybe her
In relations you’ll come to see
There’s no such thing as you and me only we

Before stepping in take a step back
Before you commit
Being steady
Doesn’t mean you’re ready

Do you choose yes to move on?
Or do you say no?
A heart’s decision
Ways on you so

Take it from me
Don’t let her go
Take the chance
Follow your heart and move on
I didn’t and now she’ gone

Smile because it happened.

305 Don’t Count on Tomorrow Your Future is Never promised


Goodbye to yesterday
For yesterday is today
And tomorrow will be the same

Time travels alone we travel with it
This my life has shown
It takes me to the unknown

You do what you can day to day
Sometimes sunshine sometimes rain
Happenings occurrences you can’t explain

You choose in that moment
What seems the best
And ignore all the rest

Daily choices become clear
You make them
Without doubt or fear

Life gives no answers
No guarantees assurances for tomorrow
Your time is only borrowed

As nighttime approaches darkness looms
You do what you have to do to prepare
And hope to make your 3AM prayers
**********************************
“Do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself
each day has enough trouble of its own”

291 Is Love like…?

Is love like a well-read book?
Its cover cracked and torn
Its pages shaded yellow
Faded softly worn
But when the book is opened
Its pages cannot erase
A love like that
Can never be replaced

Is love like a roller coaster?
Going up and down
Or just a Ferris wheel
Spinning you around
Or maybe a merry go round
Carnivale music sound
Or round and round just a fling
Trying to catch that golden ring

Is love like a dying wish?
I take with me alone
Life breaks in many ways
As the years have shown
Is love like a child’s poem
Innocent as the month of May
Time has taken us away
Time will lead us home
*****************************************
“Perhaps love is like the ocean
full of conflict full of change
like a fire when it’s cold outside
or thunder when it rains
if I should live forever
and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you”
“Perhaps Love”
John Denver

290 A Sad Heart Never a Broken Heart

A lonely heart is a sad heart
Not a broken heart that needs to mend
A lonely heart speaks for itself
No bitterness no resentment
Just love that had to end

A lonely heart is a missed heart
What could have been
if stances were different
With the time spent

A lonely heart is a dreamer’s heart
A walk in the park
Moon light in the dark
Dinner for two
A romantic rendezvous

A lonely heart is a lost heart
Looking to find its way
Thoughts a stray
A new start
A Relationship a bust
When it lacks trust
A decision made
To walk away

A lonely heart is a fixed heart
No regrets
No reprisal
No comebacks
Awaits the day
To resume the play

A lonely heart is a beautiful heart
No commitment
Finding a safe space
Quite solitude
No dating race

whose mind is stayed on You, because
he trusts in You” Isaiah 26:3

304- I’ll Take my Coffee Black No Sugar or Cream Please

I like my coffee black
My life is simple like that
No addons or frills
Minimal to the max
It keeps me relaxed

Some prefer hot and sweet
Others prefer hot and creamy
Yesterday’s choices were mine
Choices I chose to decline

Sometimes for an additional rush
Add an extra touch
When things get a little slow
A shot of expresso is the way to go

After a fine dining meal
When coffee is served at the table
Many select what they like or feel
You’ll know for sure I’ll order a
coffee liqueur

So, I started drinking black coffee”

289 This is my Prelude to a Kiss?

A heart that bleeds
A lover’s creed
A tender touch
That means so much
Oh, how my heart cries
For your tender sighs
That sweetness in your eyes
A love that only you can satisfy

like a flower crying for dew
that was my heart serenating you”

288- Love Under the Moon light

Moon light becomes you
Dancing in the moon light
Moon light serenade
Moon light in Vermont
Beethoven’s Moon Light Sonata

As the day implodes and the stars explode
Showcasing a backdrop that only heaven can create
Appears the moon and its light that through out
The centuries have inspired romance and love
Poets rhyme about it
Authors write about it
Musicians play about it
Singers sing about it
Moon light personifies love
We love under it
We sing
We dance
We laugh
We cry
We dream
No one ever asks why
Although these times are gone
The moon light shines on
For others who need to experience
Its romantic charm
Long after we are gone
***************************************

“How sweet the moon light upon the bank,
here we will sit and let the sounds of music
creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night
become the touches of sweet harmony”

303- Brother, Will You Ever Tell me the truth?

Just tell me the truth
Don’t lie and pretend
Don’t tell me you swear
When you don’t even care
Wisdom comes with age
I’ve turned its pages
If you want me to return
Lesson learned
Be true to yourself
That’s what matters
Take it to heart
Before your life shatters
Lies only destroy
Leaving only a decoy
