Our men who died on foreign shore
Ne’er to be seen forever more
They sacrificed to keep us free
Gave us the gift of liberty
And we shall try to bring them home
From foreign shores ne’er more to roam !
INTERMISSION ( 2018 ) 2018/01/28
I feel somehow a pending urge
As all my fears and passions merge
The path to seek a higher road
Henceforth to carry life’s great load
And find a place where each may rest
Before attempting life’s contest !
ELUSIVE REST ( 2017 ) 2017/12/10
The snow is clinging to the bough
The weather’s turning cold and how
The winter chill cuts to the bone
I think I’d rather stay at home.
I’d like to be inside for now
So I may keep warmed up somehow
And pick a spot close to the fire
Therein imagine sweet desire
Where in the end life does attest
Our souls do seek elusive rest !
JUST AND FAIR ( 2017 ) 2017/09/28
The night outside is dark and cold
I am so tired and far too old
Oh how I wish that I could sleep
But we have promises to keep
For in this world of let’s pretend
A few may care but more must mend.
Take a deep breath for a short while
Lift up your spirit, try a smile
Remember that the Lord is there
Depend on Him, He’s just and fair !
CREATOR OF ETERNITY ( 2017 ) 2017/09/09
Dear Lord above, I’d like to know
When day is done where do You go
Is there one place that You’re fond of
Some hideaway or spot You love ?
So glorious it must be grand
A product of His own blest hand,
How wonderful that God is The
Creator of Eternity !
GOOD DAY ( 2016 ) 2016/10/07
There is a darkness that I see
It gently closes over me
The shades of night begin to fall
The shadows seem to cover all.
There is a quiet that I seek
And feel no need to eye or peek
There are no words that I must say
For now is time to bid good day !
MY DREAMS ( 2016 ) 2016/06/10
I wish I knew a leafy bower
Where I might rest for but an hour
And there among those pleasant scenes
I’d pass my time and dream my dreams !
