Perspective

      I know sometimes it seems
Like I may be doing some drinking
When I seclude myself and I’ve
Had some time for thinking

In my poetry sometimes it’s
My thoughts that I decide to share
It seems there’s always emotions
Behind the words I don’t care

Now listen I believe you’ll find my
Words are sound when I say
It’s seems there’s some pain
Hidden behind the words I’m okay

And if you stop and think about it
I believe you’ll find it so
It seems there’s always some knowledge
Behind the words I don’t know

And if we all come clean I’m sure
We can agree with our admitting
I’m sure we’ll find there’s some truth
Behind the words just kidding

Now you know I’m always clear
And no one needs to be a detective
And no one needs to read between the
Lines to understand the Perspective

Reminded Of My Place

     Well I took a vacation
It was good for this heart of mine
Came home did some work on the place
I was proud and on cloud nine

I hadn’t felt like this in a long while
Let it be my true confession
Hadn’t felt much like entertaining
I was in a state of depression

My daughter and Son in Law gave me
Their gently used Blackstone grill
It gave me some new inspiration
Changed my view and my will

I swept the Deck gonna have it
Professionally washed as well
Things were looking pretty good
Raised my spirits you could tell

So I washed and cleaned the old chairs
Even swept and gave the carpet a shampoo
I was on a roll and we went to buy a
Patio set a table and chairs brand new

Got a new umbrella and I was excited
Got some utensils for the grill so great
Told friends and family invitations
Are going to be sent and I can’t wait

Today was my first day back to work
I had my reality I needed to face
And as sure as this good heart still beats
I was quickly Reminded Of My Place

There’s nothing like getting brought
Back down to Earth.
God Bless!!!

Never Had A Bad Day

      Tell it to Jesus when you cry
With all your pettiness I say
Tell it to Jesus go ahead and try
Because you’ve never had a bad day

Let’s talk about the lashings
The spitting and the thrown crud
Let’s talk about carrying his own
Cross and let’s talk about the blood

Let’s talk about the nails
Through his hands and feet
The crown of thorns on his head
The reason moments from complete

The death and the resurrection
Just for our forgiveness and choice
But most still listen to the Demon
And that my friend is the wrong voice

Your petty troubles are nothing in
Compare in fact they’re child’s play
So go tell it to Jesus he’ll still listen
Though You’ve Never Had A Bad Day

No Tomorrow

     There’s so many people living
With so much pain and sorrow
They’re living in the world of the
Past and they worry about tomorrow

Is our lives meant to be lived without
Hope and with a heart without repair
Is there no time for a life of joy
When we live with so much despair

If the Sun comes out tomorrow will
Will it make us smile enough to get by
If the Sun hides behind the clouds
Is it solely a reason to cry

There’s always tomorrow or so they
Say or at least those who procrastinate
I hope they’re right and they’ve got
Nothing left undone before it’s too late

Because all the money won’t buy more
Time and there’s none you can borrow
I know it’s cliche but we should all
Live life as if there’s No Tomorrow

What More

      In the name of love he came
The words written are true
In the name of love he came
He came for me and you

In the name of love he came
To the people himself he revealed
In the name of love he came
He taught and he healed

In the name of love he came
He even raised Lazarus from the dead
In the name of love he came
In the Bible his words are written in red

In the name of love he came
He fed the people and he prayed
In the name of love he came
And yet he was betrayed

In the name of love he came
Accepting his gift is to be purified
In the name of love he came
Love is the reason he was crucified

In the name of love he came
Yet still some use the choice to ignore
In the name of love he came
I say in the name of love What More

I’m Not A Robot

      There’s so many versions
Of how the world ends
Some have brother fighting brother
And friends against friends

Others feel that it’s time for another
Asteroid from Space to strike
And some see the likes of a planet
Ruled by Apes and that’s what I like

Because it would be funny to hear the
Conversation of Apes about evolution
The high powers writing their history
Ensuring they have the only solution

Evolving from Humans the proof
Was discovered in the vaults of Shang
That nothing spontaneously burst
Into Everything by virtue of a big bang

Yet I think the reality is the takeover
By AI though our destiny we know not
I am seeing evidence right on my phone
When I have to prove I’m Not A Robot

The Other Side

     Well I’ve given my life to Jesus, it
Doesn’t mean I think I’m better than you
It just means I’m going to try to be the
Best I can be with everything I do

I feel the love of Jesus so powerful
The Demons just can’t bare it
I feel compelled by a force I’ve never
Felt pushing me to share it

You have the choice to believe
And you have the choice to deny
I’m not gonna say you’re right or wrong
There’s no judgment in my eyes

All I can do is tell of my experience
I hope you can feel the passion
When you see me in my Jesus apparel
I hope you know it’s not for fashion

I’m proud of the Man I am today
My love for Jesus I’ll never hide
And when our time on Earth is over
I pray I’ll see you on The Other Side
