The Nail
Dedicated to Kenny Young.....
Most people,would just see a nail
I see memories and thoughts.....
The many miles of fence
The miles of walking
Hammering a nail
Into a wooden post.......
Building a cattle fence
Making the cattle safe
The other land owners happy......
It reminds me of the many people
I worked with
Putting fences up
Or taking it down......
Be it in the dead of winter
Or the hottest days of summer.......
So few,were good at what they did
Some enjoyed it
Worked as a team.......
That's the memories
It has for me....
Fences up and tight
Fences down and rolled
We did it all.......
Not a whimper
Not a complaint
Working walking
As we go......
Stories told
Laughter too
This little nail
Reminds me
Of a story or two.......

Myself Yourself
Myself Yourself...
To the world I am one
But to one,I am the world.....
The journey has been long
My heart has been broken
Let them see the brokenness
Let them see through the cracks,in your Armor
That's how the light gets out......
There is always a song
That reminds you of it
The place,the time.....
As you sit there in the quietness
Of the night
You realize
This is what it's all about.......
I can see your journey
Through your eyes
But I can't feel the pain or happiness
You went through.......
Go to where you need to be
That past brought you this far
Continue the walk
The journey never ends........

The Morning Drive
The Morning Drive
The suns rays are piercing the clouds
The dew of the grasses of green
Are reflecting the mirror finishes
Of the crisp morning......
As I see
The sun breaks through the clouds
Rays of sunshine are in the valley.....
The distant mountains to my left
Are in darkness
Of colored greys
And of fogs of white......
The mountains to my right
Are of sun and blue skies
Trees of gold and green
With reds showing.here and there.....
The misty morning sun
Working it's magic
The roads ahead
Have leaves of golden colors
Laying their blankets
Toward the ground.......
The trees baring their limbs
With the sights of nested squirrels
Which are at home
With their gathered nuts
Straw for warmth
For what's to come...............

The Midnite Train
The darkness flows
With the distant lights
Of the stars above.....
All aboard
As the last call
Was heard......
The train was full
As always,it seemed.......
The dimness of shadows
From little of light......
Whispers to one another
"Where are we to go"
No one really knew......
The mystery brought forth
These people on this train.......
I have not forced you
Or neither
Did you not complain.......
The darkness outside
As the train moved
Ever so slow......
Shadows of things
You might have seen
You glance back
As nothing
Seems to appear.......
Quite whispers among us
As if we were to awake......
The conductor walks
The floor
Only to look you
In the face......
What is this
He wants of me
As he looks at you
No more.......
Not a word was said
Has he walked
Towards the door.......
We hear the sounds
Of the engines
As if to make
A huge roar.......
Picking up speed
As if the past
Mattered no more......
As I see the faces
Of people
Their eyes are of dark
As if no soul......
Now I remember
I have been here before
The destination
I did not want to see.......
All on this train
With ticket in hand
Was written
For a one way
A far away land......
One way ticket only
A ticket to hell......
I asked the conductor
As he walked by
Please sir
Am I to go back......
He was startled
As he looked
Nobody usually asked........
This train is always full
Always has been booked.......
He glanced ahead
Behind him too
Looked at my ticket
Then told me so.......
I see you have
Rode this train before
Where we are going
They need you no more......
He reached into his pocket
Gave me a ticket
Said it was mine.......
As I looked down to see
A round trip ticket
Back to where I'm needed
In time.......
For he knew
I was a young man
As time would tell.......
I have road that train
The train to hell......

As Earth Plays
As Earth Play's..............
As the fog rolls in
The still of the night
Slithers away......
As a dead calm
Envelopes the morning
The trees disappear
The colors of green and gold
Turn to white......
At a distance
The highway's disappear
With just the noise of the cars
As they drive away........
Buildings are a blur
As the fog rolls closer
To be only a white mass
Like a sheet over a bed.........
In only hours
It will surrender
As the sun
Draws higher in the sky......
It's rays burning away
The moisture it see's below
To make a perfect afternoon
For all to enjoy........

The Stairs of Heaven
The Stairs of Heaven......
The stairs of heaven
Came down to meet me
With the ray's of the sun
Shining on the beautiful
Hair of red.........

Hypnosis...........
Hypnosis is not something that is "done" to us. It is a series of things we have all done all our lives.
Your mind is the strongest thing in your body-it can cure you,heal you,make you do things that are impossible..
Do your best to live a good life,dump those bad memories,make good memories...
Quit bad habits,gain good habits......
Learn love-love yourself...
Everyday is a new day.....Make it your best day...
To heal-heal yourself....
Control-control your thoughts.....
Control your life-only you can do it......
There is no blame game-you,yourself can change that....
Love your children,grandchildren...
So they won't have to heal themselves...........

Lavern
As the gentle bells toll
The lifting of another brother
Becomes a reality
With a heart of gold
A soft touch on his soul
With his render of peace
As Lavern taught himself on earth
To love,share his love
With family and friends
The fixer,the doing,the instructor
As in life itself
His respect,honor and dedication
Could always be seen
It reaped From his eyes
His voice and heart
Never an angry word
Always a kind word
A big hug
And (or) a handshake
With a huge smile
His biggest reward was
Jesus Christ,his savior
His family,which he charished
Also loved
His cultivation of life
Opened my eyes
To receive the peacefulness
That Lavern shared
We will have our moments of sadness
But we have the glory
Of Jesus Christ
Knowing that Lavern
Is in heaven
We will meet again,my friend
Also smile
For we will all be home
In our Kingdom
Of Jesus Christ
Be brave
Be strong
Most of all
Love..................

The Vision
The Vision
I seen the battle of the dragons
A wall of fire
Soaring thru the skies......
Their wings slicing the air
As they flew towards death
The screeches,the claws
All out for blood.......
I seen the fires from the mountains
Where the battles began
Sometime ago.......
The torture of the land
They conquered
Lay in ruins,in the valleys below......
The trees twisted and fallen
Streams burning red
As the molted fires flow......
No control as nature speaks
The power of the best
Will it be as one
Or share the glory of it all.............

Don't let it be of sorrow
Let it be of joy,love and happiness....
The sharing of life
As we were together
Be it in conversation,family living
Camping and (or) fishing......
