#102, No Words

And so this life has

  no words

You are gone

Tried to put my pen

  to paper 

to put down my thoughts

But by the time I found 

   a pen

I could think of no words

   no words to describe 

the here where you

     — no longer are

But when I look up

  to the sky

  enrobed in stars

What I feel deep 

    inside 

  beckons me to 

    write for you

one last long love song

 and looking at you picture

    I begin practicing my

     thoughts 

So I just sat there started

    to think about my life 

  with you and love for

I wanted to write some

   words but then I realized

no words

  no,words I write will

ever be be enough 

#101, I Fear

I’ve sat and pondered 

time after 

time after

time

Why do we fear

things 

outta of our control

Think about it

we spend hours

and days 

and more hours

and days

in fear

Mostly over things

which never happen

They say it’s 

human nature

the natural order 

of things

which help us

to survive

But fear is like

 cancer

It eats away at

  your soul

wears you down 

until all you do

  is start 

being afraid of

being afraid

In those times 

  of fear my Bible

says to me 

  turn to Jesus 

He will bring you 

  the peace you need

  don’t you see

don’t you see

  don’t you see

#100, Life Goes By

Life goes by slowly 

   without you here

It moves along unhurried

Sure 

The sun comes up

     The sun goes down

Repeats its cycle

        Day after day

Meanwhile I sit by 

watching as time passes 

Asking myself why 

Why do the days go by

 why does time travel 

     ever onward

When the one I love

is not here to travel

  with me

I know we come into

   the world alone

and most likely will go

    the same way

We can’t take anyone

    with us

We’re meant to spend

   the interlude with

another in closeness

Or so it’s what we believe

But it’s a long way from morning 

    to the evening 

Without any guarantees 

Then comes a day when 

   the closeness is broken

Then and only then do we see

Life goes by slowly 

   without you here

It moves along unhurried

As we count the days till 

   we’re together again 

#99, The New Road

I asked the Lord one day

Lord

I’ve been pondering

                Thinking

Wondering

What?

What does this new road

       I’m on mean?

Where am i going?

Where does this road lead?

Lord, please answer me.

He answered

I know you’re way

I know the road you’re on

I know each step you take

Follow me is all I require

As far as everything else goes

    You need to 

Come alongside those I tell you

Help those I call you to help

As far as the rest is concerned 

I’m marking your new way

It’s up to you to follow

I can see in your heart 

you care for others,

good

It’s what you’re called to do, 

For now

you need to just

Talk to others 

Care for other

     Who are hurting 

as much as you are

      Who need you 

as much as you need them

Love will develop, give it time

              Be patient

Oh yeah, 

stop asking dumb questions

because

you know I don’t give out

       all the answers

#98, A Day In My Life

Yesterday 

I had today all planned 

Yesterday 

I thought I had it all in hand

Oh yesterday

Oh yesterday 

I’d wake up

Jump out of bed

Brush my teeth

Comb my head

Have some coffee

or maybe tea

eat some breakfast 

off to work for me

But now my yesterday

Has faded all away

Lost in all the other

Yesterdays

Yesterday 

I had today all planned 

Yesterday 

I thought I had it all in hand

Oh yesterday

Oh yesterday 

I’d wake up

Jump out of bed

Brush my teeth

Comb my head

Have some coffee

or maybe tea

eat some breakfast 

off to work for me

But now as I lay there 

In my nice warm bed

I just pulled the covers 

back over my head

Cause yesterday’s gone

Yesterday’s gone

Yesterday’s gone

#97, Troubles

Troubles cloud my mind, and I’m feelin’ blue.

I know deep in my heart I won’t be blue always.

But, still your mind gets clouded with thoughts which overwhelm.

So much so you have to keep telling yourself.

I know the sun is gonna shine in my mind again some day

The key to getting out of the blues is change. 

So, I’m gonna go down to the ocean.

I’m gonna sit right down there, right down on the sand

So when I start thinking about my blues, the ole ocean will calm me down.

The waves pushing against the shoreline release their calming effect.

Well I’m goin’ down to the ocean

Oh you know to my favorite ole seaside town 

Where you know the people are easing their blues, like me

Well I’m going down to the ocean

Oh you know I’m gonna lay my head right down on the sand 

I’m gonna let the sun, sand and surf ease my ole troublin mind

#96 Just Try

Just try

Just try

Even if it doesn’t 

work out

Just try

Just try

You miss those 

moments of

joy

because you’re 

afraid to take a

chance

Fear keeps you

locked in place

Like you’re in

some kind of a

trance

Why

Just try

Just try

Even if it doesn’t 

work out

Just try

Just try

You never know

if you can 

if you don’t even

try

Just try

Just try

Even if it doesn’t 

work out

Just try

Just try

In the end if it

doesn’t work out

At least you took

 a chance

You broke the grip of

fear 

you broke fears trance

You tried

You triec

Just try

Just try

Even if it doesn’t 

work out

Just try

Just try

Don’t miss  

moments of

joy

because you’re 

afraid to take a

chance

Just try

Just try

Even if it doesn’t 

work out

Just try

Just try

#95, Happy

All I ever wanted to be

was to be Happy

All I ever wanted to do

was wear a smile

 Didn’t need no money

Didn’t need no fame

Didn’t need to walk

in style

nor to be the same

 Didn’t need no fans

Didn’t need no lights

Didn’t need to be an

all star

Nor to be top flight 

 All I ever wanted to be

was Happy

All I ever wanted to do

was wear a smile

Which I did for a

   long while

Then came the day

  the time

The smiled faded 

   My heart broke 

into two pieces the 

  one still deep inside 

The other you carried

  to Heaven with you

All I ever wanted to be

   was Happy

#94, The Path

I’ve always wondered

About the steps I take

Were they of my own?

Or just miss-takes

Is life what I make of it? 

My choices changes

Or is it all a plan 

With no rearranges

Thinking about it 

Makes my head spin 

Wondering of what

I forgot to begin 

The steps that lead

To a different life

Filled with who knows what

I can’t decide?

I guess in the end 

We just walk the path

Seeing what comes

Our way

Always wondering is

  this the right day to day

#93, Just Keep Swimming

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming 

I didn’t think I’d ever see 

me take advice 

from a fish from Disney

But little Dori as she 

 swims along 

when she forgets or

  life goes wrong

Says these words which

  ring so true

Wise words from a 

  little fish so blue

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

when the oceans rough

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

when the currents tough

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Don’t give up 

Don’t hang your head

Gotta move forward

Till you pass the dread

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming
