Discovered in years

Every leads to chase

Honoring Our Dads

Been a special day
In a time of rest

Honoring fathers
Giving them our best

Fathers are blessings
That comes from above

The God who bless us
Our Father we love

From childhood there on
As we grow in years

Honoring our dads
With blessings of cheer

Freedom day came to be

Set loose from such bondage
Live life enough to see

Life From A New View

Doing some things new
Not like done before

Later than normal
Don't want that no more

It seems like off track
Feeling out of my place

There's something different
From getting off base

Seeing something new
Wake up my poor soul

Life from a new view
Brings insight you know

Beat The Heat Stay Cool

Hiding  from the heat
In cool in the air

When going outside
Today, it's not fair

Sun beaming on flesh
In heat of the day

Learn to go the way

Be cool inside out
Think smart what to wear

Beat the heat stay cool
In all you'll get there

Breaking The Hot Spell

Another hot day
Summer time is here

Made some pink lemonade
That brings us some cheer

On this muggy day
Don't want to go out

Need to move about

It's always a must

Breaking the hot spell
Heat brings on a fuss

Thank God For Those Who Help

It's nice that others help
In search for some history

With things that can be solved
Even those mysteries

Digging deeper for clues
Not knowing where to go

Got to keep looking more
Moving into what flows

Not knowing what's ahead
Still believing there's more

Thank God for those who help
Bringing the clues that score

The Good Of Doing Some Good

Seeing the good of doing

Stormy Weather Again

Another stormy day
Covering the sky view

Blowing rain pouring fast
Upon everything on through

Clouds look grayish to dark
Floating across the sky

All around sends air cools
The land as rain comes by

Wonder what awaits there to see

Revelation Stands Before Me

Enter into another year
Reflections back how I got here

Some things have changed a lot since then

Test In Things We Should Know

There comes a time in life
Where we have to just know

Know what we think is right

Tribulations in test

Test in things we should know
Know Jesus is our rest

Allow The Words To Flow

What can I write about
As I'm standing tall here?

My mind doesn't focus
It shouldn't bring this fear

Not knowing what to write

Smoothly as on the go

About life's daily dues
Is like a routine check

Allow the words to flow
Don't worry, what the heck

Let Go Of Clutter

Can't keep everything
So some things must go

Sort out what's to stay
Make an even flow

In order, in time
So things look so nice

Let go of clutter
Make no sacrifice

Manage What You Have

Days in as time comes
What to do now, then?

Choices to make now
For time will come when

Results come to be

Manage what you have

For what you plan out
Comes to a crossroad

Manage what you have
Shake off heavy loads.

Another storm coming
Rain upon the roof top

Trees blowing left to right
Their branches go flip flop

Allow Us To See

We live our lives
What makes us lie?

Cover up things
As life goes by

Twisting some words
Say what we want

Feeling better
Speaking so blunt

Jesus, You're LIFE
For we need You

Guide us onward
Speaking what's right

Allow us to see
For You're the Light
