A Smart Girl

Perfection and Responsability
is what she does
so frequently.

Getting straight "A" grades
is not rare
from her.

She will soon leave our house
because staying in campus
is what she wants.

We know she is bright,
We know she is brave,
She knows we care about her
And she knows for sure
We will always love her.

Beauty of Nature

Standing under the tree
looking around at living things
trying to clear my thoughts
I've never known how much
I held you through it all.
You're the miracle of Life and Joy....

You're my little girl
with those bright eyes
who saw the light when born
made me realize
I
must protect, teach, learn and guide
through all her Life.

You're my little girl
You're the miracle of Life and Joy.

Blog This

life is a blast
gunshots crack
bodies break
mouths agape

eyes wide open
mouths sewn shut
ears full of lies
hearts full of hate

sun is setting now
tempers calming down
water down my throat
i don't dare to hope

this will all end
when i repent my sins
my box is in the ground
with people all around

some cry tears
as i am lowered from ere
my body laid to rest
i hope my soul is blessed

standing guard at the gates
longing the wait
to return again
to cleanse the earth of its sin
