Passing the Buck
My child asked me a question
But I baulked at my reply
For am I giving wisdom
Or just a wistful lie
For the truth about each subject
Is not for me to know
And when pressed for the answer
I don’t know what I know
So I fake that I’m not listening
And silence fills the air
Or say, go ask your mother
For she’s only over there
Lullaby to God
I kneel and sing a thank you
A lullaby to god
Within this magic music
I wrap up all my love
I’ll send to him my kisses
To plant upon his cheek
And ask for his forgiveness
In all things that I’m weak
The sun and stars above me
Reflect within his eyes
And though I’ll learn forever
I’ll never be so wise
Though angels dress my thinking
In hope they can persuade
That life is everlasting
And not a thing to fade
For what I used in daytime
Will come again each night
And if I use it wisely
It will return again just right
So on my knees I worship
Beside my little bed
And sing a song to heaven
Where all god’s love is fed
Restless Dreams
Restless do I wander
While looking for the dawn
Beyond the east horizon
Where daylight it is borne
It grows with light and colour
A sight for all to see
Another days adventure
Just made for you and me
The silence of the dark night
Surrenders to the sound
Of nature in her glory
Whose music does abound
It calms my every moment
Till stillness takes its place
And casts out all my dark dreams
Removed without a trace
Its then I’ll have a blank page
Upon which I can write
Another little story
About this humans life.
Though to Ponder – The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes. – William James
