Contemplation
As I closed my eyes last night,
a flash of blue just caught my sight
Soon this had turned to shades of black
as shades of purple drew me back.
Then a rainbow came into view
a phantasm from reds to blues
Again a curtain began to fall
but an orb of light centered all
Soon the light a hue of blue
softened what came into my view
A flash of golden on my right,
a smiling face came into sight.
As I entered a dreamlike state,
colors blend to reveal my fate
a flash of blue just caught my sight
Soon this had turned to shades of black
as shades of purple drew me back.
Then a rainbow came into view
a phantasm from reds to blues
Again a curtain began to fall
but an orb of light centered all
Soon the light a hue of blue
softened what came into my view
A flash of golden on my right,
a smiling face came into sight.
As I entered a dreamlike state,
colors blend to reveal my fate
The Beauty Within..
THE BEAUTY WITHIN..
Maybe they wear glasses, or they've got crooked teeth
They may be fat and ugly, clumsy with two left feet.
Because you can't get past this to see what lies underneath
You're unable to really see the beauty in their souls.
They've qualities deep inside, much nicer than any of yours.
Your beauty's only skin deep, theirs goes through and through.
Sally she's artistic can draw the most beautiful scenes.
But she's got a lisp and she seems to slur her speech.
So you jeer and taunt her, and flaunt your looks supreme.

Your beauty's only skin deep, and you are oh so vain.
Selfish and self-centered, greed and lust your friend
One day you'll no longer be that beauty king or queen.
Selfish and self-centered, greed and lust your friend
One day you'll no longer be that beauty king or queen.
Bobby he's a bit overweight, but the stories he can write.
Can paint for you a wonderland of mystery and delight.
But you just ignore his words, and call him awful names.
While you grow old and ugly, their beauty will still shine
They've shared their hearts with everyone, inspiring the mind.
While you've only cared about yourself, selfish and unkind.

Never Dear
Never did you hear my cry,
nor did you ever see me try.
No first words, no first steps,
no temper tantrums or missteps.
No knowing whether I was a girl or boy,
or watching me grow, no tears of joy.
I'll never see your smiling face,
as I walk down the aisle with grace.
You'll never hold your grandchild near,
you'll never, ever hold me dear.
nor did you ever see me try.
No first words, no first steps,

or watching me grow, no tears of joy.
I'll never see your smiling face,
as I walk down the aisle with grace.
You'll never hold your grandchild near,
you'll never, ever hold me dear.
Love and Memories
The old quill pen is dipped in ink of blue,
while the old woman sips upon her brew,
as a tape plays softly in the air,
an older song called "Running Bear"
Ooo-gash-a-gow-ooo the rhythm goes,
as the old woman taps her toes.
In tune it seems to the drummer's beat,
she usually can't even move her feet.
Lost in time upon her porch
her sister writes letters of retort,
To her loved one long since dead,
though she still sees him in her head.
Here I sit upon my knees
watching this with reverency
As I prepare tonight's treat,
strawberries their favorite sweet.
I bow my head so they can't see
the tears that are flowing so free.
For I know soon will be their fate
gone from earth to heaven's gate.
I sit here watching quietly
as two old women whom I love,
bask in the sunlight while I kneel
down upon my knees
thanking our Lord
for giving me
these two ladies
to love every day.
As a tape of Sonny James
plays softly in the air
an older song
called "Running Bear"

My Last Dime
Down to my last dime,
the kids all want to have a good time
But the bills are all paid,
so I just can't complain
We're not out in the street,
we've got plenty of heat.
Just wish we had a bit extra to eat.
Maybe next month we'll have a bit more
the kids are all hungry as they walk out the door.
Off to school they go as I wish I had more,
than a few saltines to give them to devour.
When will it end?

But the bills are all paid,
so I just can't complain
