All Of Your Tomorrows
may all the joy you give to others
find it's way back to your door
may you never reach out for a friend
and find yourself coming back empty handed
if others can not see the beauty
that's inside you they would never know
beauty if it was given
to them on a silver platter
may you always know that someone thinks
so very highly of you and would
go to hell and back for you if need be
may your light shine bright to help
you always see your way
and may all of your tomorrows be saturdays

Along The Walkway
it is her job to sweep the walkway
but she can not sweep today
for her heart has just been broken
and the gripping pain won't go away
she has to sweep the walkway
she must do it everyday if she wants pay
there are two dogs she has adopted
or visa versa along the way
she works away her broom in hand
the sun baring down on her fair face
her new found friends just want to play
up and down the walkway they will race
she bids good morning to the cop
as he saunters by and pets the dogs
but he can't stop too long to play
for he's got tickets he must log
she stops along the walkway to wipe
away the tears her lover caused when
he created havoc in her heart so bound
she barely brushes as she sweeps the walkway down

And Then A Hard Rain Came
and then a hard rain came
like a curse on the crescent city
breaking the levee
causing mass desruction
killing the lives of its' people
destroying their houses
separating survivors
from their loved ones
displacing pets and causing
some owners to stay behind
who could not leave their
cherished pets to die alone
my heart goes out to them
i pray God helps them
to find their way to
someplace safe
that they may be reunited
with the ones they love
their hope is in the heart of God
whose mercy is unlimited
He does not tear down cities
without rebuilding them
stronger than before
as is true with all
His children whose pleas
He hears and answers in
His own way and in His time
for He knows how each heart breaks
and counts the very tears
that trickles down their faces
and sheds a tear for all His people

Another Chapter
sober and sane
soul-searching
for answers to
questions about
life and love
not knowing my strength
of mind
my endurance
all i know
is i am a survivor
turning over
a new leaf
turning the page
on another chapter
of my earthly life
i pray you
be there if
i should fall
