for there is always hope

under the freshly fallen snow
there lies a seed waiting to grow
above the storm filled sky full of woe
there is the sun waiting to glow

for every soul beat down
and cast with a frown
for there is always hope
waiting to help them cope

for there is always a way
through each and every day
there is no troubles so bad
that they are ever more than just a passing fad






thanx Courtney Livingston for the theme

of the power of peace

an open field of wild flowers
bending to the powers
of a wild but gentle breeze
how i long for these

for the simple views
hold the truest hues
of the power of peace
and our stress does decrease

in every day
we can find a way
to renew our inner peace
and give our turmoil release





thanx to Samaeopteryx Reeser for the
opening stanza and theme

from death's permanent hold

so this is the time
that a mighty star most sublime
rose to point the way
to a very humble soirée

for in the manager
was found the end of danger
from death's permanent hold
a wondrous baby to behold

for 2000 plus nine
years our lord does shine
the greatest gift ever given
and all our sins forgiven

for i was to blame

the money was granted
for presents to be planted
beneath the holy tree
a little bit of shiny wrapped glee

only so many it would buy
and my heart did fry
for i was to blame
for this christmas shame

but suddenly a new light shone
and i realized it is always known
that no amount of presents
can replace a good parents presence

so god bless us all
from the tall to the small
from over there to over here
for love and hope is always near

Flung Like a Lightning Bolt

i gave to the world a song
and after not very long
the world gave me three
equal in beauty

i gave to the world a curse
from my heart it did disperse
flung like a lightning bolt
and was given ten more in revolt

i have nothing of my own
for everything is on loan
and can be any time in recall
from one above who controls it all

to the slow grind of time

when we reach the place
at the end of the race
and find another lap to go
it can feel like woe

for nothing is ever perfect
and everything is suspect
to the slow grind of time
and there is always some grime

but it is all part of the grand design
and we all still shine
to the giver and taker
of the universe's great maker

it will pass in time

its a searing pain inside
its a heart that is fried
its a soul feeling betrayed
its a spirit becoming a deeper shade

i want to escape it
no longer feel it
it will pass in time
is all that i can rhyme

nothing more i wanted to be
than to be a father in a family
for nothing more i prayed
than for children i helped made

this destiny can not be dodged

what can i say?
that will ease the way
the future it goes
where no one knows

can i be the monster they see?
i have the evidence all pointing at me
this destiny can not be dodged
unto my heart it is lodged

for every step ahead
i must bow my head
and give thanks for another day
what can i say?

a daily reminder

there is no doubt
that there is an end to the clout
and soon shall pass
the cloud sent to harass

this poets frail heart
the pain is off the chart
a daily reminder
of faith in a grinder

struggle through this we all do
for we have no clue
of the master plan
of what does end and what began
