a tiny speck

what is true?
do you know you?
can you really understand
all ideas upon this land?

such a little bit
of the great big kit
a tiny speck
upon a truly vast deck

little snowflakes we are
floating like bits of a star
each one contrasting
but part of the same storm everlasting

of lifes constant beat

oh my beautiful girls
she of the curls
and the little angel dancing
so much wonder you are advancing

so much richer is life
with you two dancing to the fife
of lifes constant beat
everything is so sweet

and i have been given it all
to see you two grow tall
and more and more stupendous
is my life that is tremendous

our desires

so full of beauty
when is life is lived simply
taking time
to pen this rhyme

so much peace
when we release
our desires
& call out the liars

the road often bends
& trouble often sends
us far astray
but love, hope, & faith live this day

so many more to come

its a stillness
here in the darkness
so complete
feeling obsolete

so many blessings bestowed
more than what could be forbode
so many more to come
so much joy under the sun

so the wind will come soon
when the time is oppurtune
patience is the key
to open the doors to oppurtunity

will pass into dust

the world will keep spinning
around the sun its flying
our hearts will keep beating
in the body its loving

all things that made us glad
& all things that made us sad
will pass into dust
for they are held only in trust

it's all so much greater
than one head can figure
just keep believing
for the world is still spinning

for what tonic do we reach

the fear isn't gone
it's still singing its murky song
still luring them in
unto the web it did spin

so how do we overcome
when it strikes us dumb?
for what tonic do we reach
to close this mighty breach?

hold and hold again
resist the luring in
hold past guilt and pain
till no shadow does remain

will it be more of the same?

tis a new year
surely will contain cheer
and a meausre of fear
with a dash of persevere

what we will find?
now that horror is behind
will it be more of the same?
or an event more tame?

all we can do is hope
for God did not elope
and leave us to cruel fate
in such a terrible state
