Never Give Up
We all climb a mountain from the day we are born
Some can do it quickly other more foot worn
We wander up the incline with scarce a look behind
Until we meet a problem that stops us in our stride
We take a rest to think through what course we now must take
Then carry on regardless as if we’ve had no break
Each step it takes us higher than the one before
As we walk into the places we’ve never been at all
The air becomes much thinner and harder to inhale
So we climb a little slower for we know we must not fail
For heavens at the summit along with all our past
Where we can dwell forever within the light we’ve cast
It’s true that some will floundered and fall towards the start
Then take another body that just renews their heart
But one thing that’s for certain we never can give up
For the gift of every journey is wrapped within God’s love.
I’m Talking To Your Picture
I’m talking to your picture
and it does not answer back
I’m sifting through your wardrobe
to throw clothes into a sack
I’m hoping for an answer
to end this sense of loss
while evaluating each second
to take measure of the cost
my future’s unimportant
for nothing is the same
as time it marches onward
I know no ones to blame
we all have but a short time
to take this world by storm
as our journey slowly starts
on the day that we are born
we forget there is an ending
but now that day has come
as I sit and reminisce
about your love that’s gone
Plastic Grass
It’s the newest form of plastic
Although it looks like grass
They say it will last forever
And your garden will look class
Alas it’s just a mirage
As false as false can be
For it leaves no space for nature
As it covers soil with glee
You’ll never see an earthworm
Come up and greet the rain
While brushing off the autumn leaves
So they don’t leave a stain
Perhaps you’ll flag around it
Leaving spaces for the weeds
Then get some fancy chemical
That once you did not need
Now your gardens just another room
Without the need to mow
And you’ll miss the chance to exercise
So to the gym you’ll go
Now that’s called modern living
Were you haven’t got the time
To invest in something special
Like this lovely lawn of mine
An Angels Care
You hold me like a baby
On feathered lights of love
You show to me the beauty
That radiates above
You smother me with kisses
To keep me safe from harm
You whisper words so softly
And help me keep my calm
You sing to me of nature
And all its rhythmic ways
You tell me you’ll protect me
Throughout my life always
I don’t know why you do it
The way you show this care
But i would like to thank you
Because you’re always there
Thought to Ponder – You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. – Buddha
