Stormy mood

I have this need to write today.But the subject escapes me at the moment.Can't focus on one thing all these thoughts are going through my brain.I'm going a hundred miles per hour and spinning my wheels.

I'm just taking in everything around me.Hummingbirds outside my window have took up a lot of my attention today.Two of them flirting around the feeder doing what who knows .Are they fighting,flirting or just playing.Reminds me of a pair on a seesaw back and forth.

My mood today I would call stormy. A good day for a rain.That would be fun just laying back watching it come down.Might get that chance next week because some tropical storms are down south and headed this way.No floods or hurricanes please thank you.

Oh well maybe later something interesting will come to me.Till then this will have to do.

Daddy just stopped by


Daddy just stopped by.Guess he was checking up on me.He didn't stay long but it sure was nice him visiting me for awhile.

Daddy has been dead for 20 years now.Before you start thinking I've gone completely wacky let me explain.

Daddy always used Lucky Tiger hair oil that he bought from the barber shop.Every so often I get this strong smell of that tonic.When I smell it I always feel like he is checking up on me.Sorta like being my guardian angel.It is a nice feeling.

Stop by anytime Daddy.Love and miss you.




Caught in a phase shift

The natives are restless today.Short tempered and fussy.I woke at 5am and noticed it real quick like.I think the butter has slid off a lot of folks biscuits.Could be a full moon is on the way.Maybe people are caught in a phase shift and their good side is being blocked.What ever the reason I'm laying low going with the flow today.Help us all we may need it.

The red badge of courage

Red badge of courage.I think we all have suffered from it at some point in our life.For those who are not familiar with it this explains it.There was a movie and most likely a book about a solider who was in the Civil War.During the heat of battle he deserted his post and was running away.On his flight from the fighting he struck his head on a low hanging tree branch.Knocked unconscious and bleeding from his accidental head wound he was found by his comrades.

His fellow soldiers thought he had been shot while fighting the battle.They where treating him as a hero.The solider did not confess his real reason for being wounded.He was told how brave and fearless he had been while other soldiers confessed of being terrified and had run away from the battle.

Ashamed of his actions the solider went along with the with the praise he was receiving.But all this had a profane affect on him.He found out that he wasn't the only one who had been afraid and deserted the fight.In the next battle he rallied his comrades and led them into battle.Still afraid but now not ashamed of being afraid because he knew everyone else was also.

So the red badge of courage he wore.We all have at some point in our life.Taking credit for things not earned or deserved.Not telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

What can I say about you

What can I say about you
About all the wonderful things you do
Things that are nice
You don't mind doing twice

What can I say about you
Things that are good and true
How you go far far out of your way
So I can have a wonderful pleasant day

What can I say about you
How proud you are
To me you are a star
I have faith that you will go far



On a star lit Georgia night

Sound of a whipper will
On a star lit Georgia night
Always been to me a delight

Croaking of bull frogs around a pond
On a star lit Georgia night
Always a sound that's fond

Wind through the pines
On a star lit Georgia night
Always a sound I think is fine

Fire flies filling the sky
On a star lit Georgia night
Always a beautiful sight

Places

Places I know
Sugar Hill
The S curve
Skeeter Flats

Places like this
Bacon Level
Population fifty
Places that are nifty

Eagle,Alabama
Yes it's a place
Standing Rock
No bigger than a city block

These places are real
There are many more
Naming them all
Would be a chore

Exposing my heart

Where should I start
How much should I say
Without exposing my heart

I have things to say
Should I keep them to myself
These feelings I deal with every day

I think a lot
Early in the morn till late at night
It does nothing but trouble it got

Leave things alone
Don't rock the boat
Keep the burden inside it I can tote


Even if alone

Fall is coming soon
I feel it in my bones
Times like that
Wish I was home

Where I felt safe and secure
Where the memories are so dear
Wish I was home
Even if alone

Cooking and cleaning
I don't mind
It was a good way
To past away time

Yes to be back home
Life was good
Felt like it should
Even if alone

Stroke of good luck

A stroke of good luck
Has come my way
Twenty dollars twenty bucks
I did find today

How should I spend it
What should I do
If you where here
I would spend it on you

We could eat some tacos
Maybe a pizza to share
That sounds good
Oh yeah we should

Yes that I would do
I would gladly share with you
Yep twenty bucks found
Get yourself ready lets go to town


Guess I'm getting old

Snap crackle pop
Think I'm getting old
Least that's what
I've been told

Hair getting gray
My beard to
Yes I'm getting old
What can I do

My memory is fading
This is true
Guess what now
I can't remember you

Guess this happens to us all
Now I'm just old
If I may say so
If I may be so bold

Call me lazy
You can call me crazy
But I must be getting old
Because things are a little hazy

Life as it should be

If life was like it should be
I would like living in a tree
In a tree house way up high
The roof almost touching the sky

If life was the way I wanted
All children would be happy
Never to be hurt or taunted
Every child would know their Daddy

If I had my way and had a say
Everyone would be free from hunger
Enough for all every day
That should be the American way

If life was fair
Everyone would really care
Free from fear and pain
There would be no injustice to bare

I feel crappy

I feel crappy
I need a nappy
Woke up at three
Sick as could be

Head was hurting
Sore throat to
Took a Tylenol
What else could I do

I feel better
Just light headed
Think I will make it
If not I'll just fake it

Heaven or Hell

Heaven or Hell
Choice up to you
What you believe
What you do

I don't know
But I've been told
Hell is hot
There your soul will rot

God is all
Jesus is his Son
Where we go
Depends on what we done

If you know you know
Where you will go
Jesus is the light
He will save your life

All things southern

Things all southern
I know alot
Them old things
We never forgot


Things like grits
With buttered biscuits
Taters piled high
Gotta be fried

Co Colas and peanuts
Moonpies they fine
First class cuisine
We do dine

Dale Earnhardt
Junior too
Richard Petty
Love that blue

Red Georgia clay
In we play
Watermelon we eat
On summer day

Yes I'm southern
Born and bred
Here be buried
When I'm dead

Life

Short is life
Full of strife
We are here
Full of fear

Some days good
Lot are bad
Do best can
With what have

Take in stride
Our time abide
One at time
On my mind

Enjoy each minute
Time will come
When there none
Life then done

My Dear Jane

You are crazy
Wacky can be
Nutty you are
Batty yes sir'ree

This is plain
My Dear Jane
You never change
Bad Like Cain

Caused some pain
Way you act
Stabbed me back
My Dear Jane

Take the train
Use the tracks
Don't come back
My Dear Jane

Don't you cry
Stop your lie
I nearly die
My Dear Jane







Grand Pa

Grand Pa Haynes
I miss you
Bootlegger and moonshiner
Did your best
Kept family fed
Better than rest
Grand Pa Haynes
Find no fault
Lesson you taught


Grand Pa Smith
I never met
You Baptist preacher
Son was teacher
Grand Pa Smith
You died young
Grand Ma fret
At your death
Grand Pa Smith
Hope to meet

Walking barefooted

Walking barefooted
This I like
Walking on thick grass
Such a blast



Careful though
Don't stump your toe
Watch those splinters
They you can get

Shoes in house
They not needed
Never made sense
Wasted money spent

Walking barefooted
Way to go
Them ole shoes
You can throw

Salad day

What to do
What to say
Where to go
Where to stay
Today is Friday
My salad day
Big and tall
Eat it all
Stacked fully loaded
Salads be fine
Eaten all time
Fine way dine
Great with tater
Good with pizza
Salads they are
Dressing from jar
Only thing wrong
Don't last long

My excuse

Well. Today what I wrote probably didn't make much sense.Excuse me but writing was a little bit hard today.This is the story why.I like tomatoes.Home grown tomatoes to be specific.Little small tomatoes just right for snacking on and snack I have been doing.I think maybe I over done this snacking on tomatoes.I have an allergy of some sort and maybe tomatoes are the cause.My face is red and blotchy and it stings.For the first time in my life I took an allergy pill.Well guess what?They make you sleepy and dozy and that I was and still am for that matter.So if what I wrote today sounded a bit off the wall that is why.That is my excuse and I'm sticking by it.

Crow Hop

Bush Head shoals
Crow Hop to
Places never got
You're to young
I was told
It's to rough
Places on river
There you fish
Now I'm old
I no wish
Them places fish

Them dirt roads

Them dirt roads
Dusty and muddy
Smell of clay
On summer day
That red dirt
Will ruin shirt
Bluejeans it stains
Cleaning a pain
Them dusty roads
Almost gone now
They from past
Hope some last

Broken heart pain

Close my heart
Open never again
Long time heal
Broken heart pain
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain
Broken heart pain
Best being alone
When love gone
Men do cry
Some even die
It no shame
Broken heart pain
Not about you
Don't be vain
It be about
Broken heart pain


Down to ocean

Down to ocean
Where I belong
Crashing of waves
Sand under feet
Grass hut live
On the beach
Life I need
Life I want
Setting sun see
Beautiful to me
In another time
Maybe this mine
Happy and carefree
Life for me
Down to ocean
Down to sea

Took a pill

Took a pill
For my knee
Now it feels
Like should be
I did sleep
Only little bit
Last night I
Didn't sleep none
That no fun
Feels pretty good
Still can't run
But that ok
That pill did
Save the day

Wait and see

The trees have that look.Changing now it seems.They are not that deep dark green.Their color is washed out green.Could it be because of the extreme hot weather this summer or is fall going to come early?Sunday reminded me of an early fall day.It was so nice.I have heard that one extreme follows another so if that is true guess this winter will be a cold one.

We will just have to wait and see.

Steady like a tree

Sun is shining
It is raining
Devil beating his wife
What it's called
The Devil he's no good
Causes nothing but strife
Want to do good
Live life like I should
Temptations they are abound
Every where I turn they around
Try hard I will
Cause Jesus has paid the bill
He died for our sins
For you and me
Now we are set free
All born sinners that is true
How we act up to you
Life a hard row to hoe
At times need patience of Job
Jesus has set me free
I must stand steady like a tree
For the plan God has for me

You make it possible

Hulu
I thank you
You make it possible
With you I'm able
To watch TV without cable
All my favorites from the past
They such a blast
Back when TV was fun
3 channels black and white
That little dot on screen went out every night
Now TV on 24/7
Channels of every type
Hate to say most just hype
Back then them 3 channels black and white
TV was fun we didn't gripe


Talk with you

Nothing to do
So I will talk to you
What ya been doing
What ya up to
Hope things good
Behaving like you should
Know you are
Keep that up
And you will go far
Ok I enjoyed our chat
I got things to do
But later I be back
Just to talk with you

All over town

Stormy day
Rain looks like here to stay
But that's ok
Farmers they do need it
They been praying and pleading
All over town
This rain causing no frowns


Monday, August 13, 2012

That don't forget

I'm ok
So are you
We going to make it
That is true
You cheer up
Don't you be blue
Me and you
We be friends
Got each other
Till the end
Others will forget us
That I know
Sometimes it easy to get
Down and out
Your friend I will be
That don't forget


So long and goodbye

All is good
As Under Dog said
Never fear
I am here
No more tears
Time and the years
They do pass
Really it's been a gas
Enjoy least try
Time that left
No time to cry
So to you I say
So long and goodbye

Heartbreak

Heartbreak is a pain
I'm through with that game
Never again will I
Have to say good bye
Not going to trust
To much of a fuss
Them days over
All it got me was
Grayer and older
So guarding my heart
My love I keep
Never to part

I need a line

Into the blank screen I stare
Judas Priest on YouTube plays
Just here waiting on end of the day
Not much to do
Not much to say
Random thoughts I have
Some good
Some sad
None are bad
I know
That was a cheap rhyme
But it did save time
Didn't prep
Didn't think
Yep you guessed next line
This little dilly going to stink
What could I say
That will save the day
I need a line
That will make this dilly sound fine
Something smart
Something bright
Something that sounds just right
This could be a long one
How am I getting out of this
Hold on I've just begun
Now I have it
Know what to say
It's been fun
Have a good day

Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds I see
Things not much bigger
Than a bumble bee
Morn noon night
They in flight
Rain or shine
They don't mind

Things I see

Things I see
Some bother me
I see souls
That want to be free
Trapped in their misery
This can't be their history
But it's their destiny
Nothing can be done
For them no more hope
No more days in sun


Enjoyed by me

A pretty day
All I can say
Just came in
That's where I've been
Mid August it is
But felt like fall day
Enjoyed by me
I will say
Care to guess
More like this
On the way

15

15 on a summers night
Smell of Formosa
Fills the air
15 not a care
Doors Light My Fire
We do hear
Young hearts
Full of cheer
15 on a summers night
Everything is alright
Thought feeling would last
Only if could
15 on a summers night
Everything is sweet
All is good



You

You get me tongue tied
You make me blush
Talking with you
Gives me such a rush
You can make me mad
Make my blood boil
Around you I see double
Really you're nothing but trouble
You I don't like
Please leave me alone
Just take a hike
Go far away
Have a nice day



Inspiration

Come on inspire me
I need to write
Nothing sappy or sad
Something witty and bright
Let it be good not bad
Come on help me now
You can do it if you try
Don't make me beg
Don't make me cry
I need inspiration
End my desperation


Careful of my thoughts

Got to line my hat with tin foil today.This is the reason why.Last night I was thinking how nice a cup of chipped ice would be.I had a hot Coke and ice was needed.Never did I ask for a cup but would you believe that someone brought me a cup and I asked whats this.They answered and said the ice you wanted.So my brain must be sending out these signals and thoughts to people.I must be careful of what I'm thinking.Like the old joke they must have esp or is that ESPN.

Today

Today I write happy thoughts
Not about battles fought
Of cheerful nice things
Things that are sweet
Things that are bright
Look at things in another light
Today no fights
Love everyone
Peace to all
Talk to ya later
Take care y'all

World peace

World peace
My plan
Everybody do this
Pick a day
Everyone boy girl woman man
Have a weenie roast
All at same time
Hard to fight
With hot dog in hand
World peace
My plan

High on the hog


A good trade I think.This is the deal.Roommate had an extra sausage biscuit.A real pork sausage not one of those fake turkey things.I had waffles and sugar free syrup that didn't look so good to me. So we swapped.Now I'm all set with a real pork sausage biscuit and some OJ for a mid day snack.Guess you could say I'm eating high on the hog.

Friends to me
Long haul us

Easy

Easy way is
Sometimes not best
Stick through it
Even though hard
Pain is great
Tears do flow
Don't give up
Day will come
All is done

One of those days

Oh boy what can I say.Everybody is just sitting around looking like their best friend has died.Like the butter has fallen off their biscuit.Like their dog ran off with the mailman or something as bad.Is there a full moon tonight I wonder?Maybe it just one of those days.Bet you have a few like this yourself every so often

The hum drums.Bored outta your gourd type of day.The blues.A day where watching grass grow or paint drying on the wall would be a more exciting type of day.

First to cry

The first to cry.That was me.54 years ago,6 years old,1st grade,Southwest Elementary,Ms.Porter my teacher.

School had been on for a few months when this happened.Some background info.I had been hit in the eye with a rock thrown by a older neighborhood kid by accident least I hope it was.Off to the doctor I was taken and the eye was patched up and I looked like a pirate.

Sitting in class it started hurting,aching and I cried.Ms.Porter made the comment I was the first to cry in class that year.Embarrassed I was but it could not be helped.I was in pain.

What brought all this back was today is the first day of school and I overheard someone talking about their little boy's first day at school.

Sun in face

On a chopper I go riding
Great being free
From no one I'm hiding
Way it should be
Never same road I travel
Just stay off roads of gravel
My idol Then Came Bronson TV show
Fueled my need to go
Sun in face
Wind to back
Gone forever
Not a trace
Left to see
Way I want it to be



Dog days


Dog days.I never fully understood what dog days are.Momma would always tell me don't walk in the morning dew barefooted during dog days.The reason being if you had a cut or something similar on your foot it would get infected easy.Another explanation I've heard is that during dog days it's so hot that dogs go crazy with the heat.

So what ever the reason it's called dog days I think it is going on now.Sounds like a little investigating on the internet should be done.Think I will.

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

For you I wish

Did you ever love me
I would like to know
Was it just for show
I remember how we cried
When things died
Your smile always reminded me
Of the way things could be
Did we give up
Did we let love die
In the end both of us
Didn't try
Not sad
Not mad
Thank God for the time we had
For you I wish
Happiness peace
A good life
Free from strife
Always remember till the end
I want to be your friend

Stuck in my head

Stuck in my head
This thing called dread
Wish it would go away
Let me have peace for today
That what I pray
Leave me alone
This thing called dread
Stuck in my head

Walking the walk

Walk the walk and talk the talk.I'm much better at talking the talk than walking the walk.Let me explain.Talking about being a Christian here. Can give lip service which is no big deal.Say this say that to the point I feel like a hypocrite.

Now walking the walk is a different thing.I'm not talking about the physical act of walking.Doing what you preach,putting into motion things talked about.Doing whats right,good and living sin free.That is walking the walk.

The Lord knows my heart and I am trying.

If I wanted to

If I wanted to
I could make you cry
With things I could write
If I wanted to
I could show you my pain
With things I could write
If I wanted to
I could let you see my fears
With things I could write
If I wanted to
I could show you my tears
With things I could write
If I wanted to






Airplane

Big airplane in the sky
Day and night
I see them fly
Silver and shiny
Them airplanes be
From where I'm at none look tiny
Where they going
Where they been
I wonder who's on them

Popcorn

Popcorn good
Sure was great
Big bag I just ate
No salt it had
Butter was plenty
Did have sugar
It was sweet
If I had Twitter
This I would tweet

Sorry

I don't Facebook
I don't Twitter
Don't get mad
Don't get bitter
Done been deleted
Done lost some friends
I will say sorry
Though much belated
Can't be helped
I do hate it

Officer Don

Officer Don and the Popeye Club.WSB TV channel 2 weekday afternoons is where you could find me.This was in the 1950's.

Popeye cartoons and silly games like ewww we gooey.I was looking up a picture of another childhood memory,Bestoink Dooley when I seen this.Late 50's Officer Don came to LaGrange Theater on Main Street and of course I had to go.Daddy took me.This was at the old show as we called the movies back then.

Great movies like To Kill A Mockingbird,Swiss Family Robinson,war movies staring John Wayne in The Longest Day.A simpler and more innocent time.


Day

Bright is the sun
This Sunday morn
Day just begun
Hope it will bring
Us all good things

Wilie Coyote


Wilie Coyote.I can relate with my old Saturday morning friend.Many times I found myself cheering for him in his endeavors of trying to catch Roadrunner.He should have bought stock in the Acme company because he tried everything they offered in his quest of catching ole beep beep.

So I guess being the underdog like Wilie Coyote does not pay off.But this I know is true.Bet there are a lot of people out there like me who always,just a little bit,for one time,wish Wilie could catch Roadrunner just that once.

What I am

I'm a redneck
Yes it's true
Born down south
That's no doubt

Them old trucks
Dirty full of rust
20 gauge pump in the back
Sitting neatly in a rack

In my pocket 40 cal Glock
Just in case I need to clean your clock
My jeans I do wear
Don't matter if they got a tear

White T's with smeared with grease
Not my style wearing fleece
Chew backy and dip snuffy
I'm not fat just kinda fluffy

Bubba is my dawg
When riding in da truck
Give Bubba some room
Don't be a hawg

Redneck I am
Redneck I be
What I am
Is what ya see

I don't qualify

Throw the first stone
This I can't do
I don't qualify
How about you
Judge
This I can't do
I don't qualify
How about you


Thursday, August 2, 2012

With God at my side

Never have I wondered
Why God hasn't healed me
Not His will
Not His plan
So it wont be
Never could I be mad
Yes at times
I'm sad
This I know
All for a reason
At times I don't understand
But there is a plan
Brighter day
On the way
No more tears
No more fears
Not alone
With God at my side
Take it all in stride
He touched with His hand
I will trust in His plan

Cheetos


Cheetos I do like
Mess with mine
We do fight
I bop you here
I bop you there
Even muss up your hair
Cheetos I do like
Don't mess with mine
You do that
We get along just fine

Some things

Some things I see
Some things I hear
Some more than I can bare
Some things happy
Some things sad
Some things just bad
Some things wrong
Some things right
Some things make you fight
Some things true
Some people lie
Some people like you

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

Still

Where should I start
At times you broke my heart
I looked up to you
Just made me blue
After all this time
It's still on my mind

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

I'm a liar

Late at night
Can't sleep
Might as well
Try to write
Something witty
Maybe bright
I find it fun
Something years ago
I should have done
Never amount to anything
Been told
Now I'm old
Nothing to prove
A way to pass the day
Can't be taken away
On radio Doors play
Music from
Back in the day
Not sleepy yet
Up all night
A good bet
Doors they inspire
Not really
I'm a liar
Time to close
Starting to doze


Mood

I'm in a mood
Is that bad
Don't we all get sad
Ain't ya crazy if always glad
Someone asked if depressed
Might be why I don't know
Nothing bothering me I can say
Could be this
Could be that
Maybe it's just the day

Blame

Things I seen
Things I done
Some bring shame
I'm to blame
Always unsure
Always insecure
Way I am
Don't speak up
Don't shout out
What life is about
Always wrong
Never right
I'm to blame

Blue tail lights

Blue tail lights
On a dark night
Such a pretty sight
Where you going
Where you been
On your machine
Road ahead
Freedom
Behind you
Dread
Blue tail lights
On a dark night
Such a pretty sight

Walker Texas Ranger

Walker Texas Ranger
I watch him on TV
Walker he do fight
But between you and me
Walker not to bright
Badmen they pull guns
But Walker will do this
He do that kung fu thang
Using his feet and fists

Grits

Grits
With salt and butter
I sure like em
But can make my heart flutter
Heart attack grits they called
Don't get em to soupy or thick
Be sure to stir em with a stick
Make mine hot
Make a big pot
Never get hungry
When grits we got

When I die

Bury me in my jeans
When I die
Old and faded will be ok
For me no suit or tie
Clean white pocket T
Way I want it to be
Don't forget my black sneakers
No socks needed
Comfy even in death I say
I want to be ready
For judgement day



Biscuits and taters

Fry me some taters
That would be great
Pile em high on my plate
Crispy brown salt for taste
None will go to waste
Bake some biscuits
Brown and fluffy
Biscuits and taters
Oh my
So good they make you cry

Women on choppers

Women on choppers
Dont mess with them
Women on choppers
Can be mean
Women on choppers
Like to fight
Women on choppers
Kick scratch hit and bite
Women on choppers

Could woop me any day
Women on choppers
Cute as can be
Women on choppers
This I say
Women on choppers
Make my day




In my dreams

Coconuts and shells
From the sea
Down to the ocean
I'd rather be
Them swaying palms
So delightful to see
Grass hut on beach
Warm sand under feet
Oh such a treat
In my dreams
I can go
Laying back
Just going with the flow

Hope

Wont complain
Wont gripe
This global warming thing
Might not be hype
Hot it was
Hot it is
Summer I once liked
Now I wish
For cooler days
Of falling leaves
Of bundled hay
Smell of wood smoke
Them days come soon
Bring on the harvest moon
This I hope

Evil

Your beauty your smile
The evil in your heart
It can't hide
I see through you
The veil you wear
Your long blond hair
Eyes of brown and so tall
Evil shows through it all

103 in the hood

103 in the hood
That don't sound good
103 what the thermometer do say
Waiting on cooler day
Lucky we have AC
Some that lucky can't be
103 in the hood
Thankful AC cooling like it should
Igloo made of ice
Right now feel nice
Get out the hose pipe
Cure our need to gripe
That would feel good if we could
103 in the hood



Rabbit named Charlie

Rabbit named Charlie
Charlie had this thing
He thought he was a human being
Charlie rode big Harleys
Long floppy ears and two flat feet
Charlie had never been beat
Then he met a turtle named Rhonda
You guessed it you are ahead of me
Yes Rhonda rode a Honda
There comes a time in every rabbits life
When he thinks of a wife
Now you got it wrong
I know what your thinking
Charlie and Rhonda didn't get to gather
Rhonda fell for another fella
His name was Mr Wong
Mr Wong was from Hong Kong
Rhonda who rode a Honda
And Mr Wong from Hong Kong
They got married
A son they did got
His name they did call
Now naming him this took some gall
Have you guessed his name
Yes you where right
Rhonda who rode a Honda
And Mr Wong
Named him King Kong
Son of Rhonda and Mr Wong





The thin short line

The short thin line
Between love and hate
The short thin line
It do separate mates
The thin short line
Makes all your words sound unkind
The thin short line
Sometimes it makes love blind
The thin short line
Hate a waste of time

Lets go

Lets go get in the car
Away we travel away real far
To the beach on this hot day
Don't that sound ok
Better yet how bout this
A cool riverboat ride down the Mis a sip
Truth of the matter be
Think I'll just stay here under the AC


Heaven to me

Heaven to me
This is how it be
Sunday dinner on the ground
All my family around

Kin long since gone
Now all at home
Shaded by the old oak tree
This is how it be

Grandpas Grandmas others I never met
Oh how I think that would be sweet
Heaven to me
That's how it would be


Alone

Alone all by myself
Alone my heart I put on a shelf
Alone maybe it's for the best
Alone time to give it a rest


Memory of you

My memory of you
Fading fast
Your face I can't see
One of those things that didn't last
My memory of you
Now just something of the past
Your face I can't see
Never thought this would be

You know the type

It's almost night
Not quite
But close enough
What should I write
Maybe about how things are getting tough
We all know that
Don't have to be bright
I know a subject
It's about those people who are always right
You know the type
Their dog would never bite
My way or the highway
Them folks can take a hike


Bike of my dreams


Honda 750
Bike of my dreams
They where so cool
I did drool
Man they sounded good
When cruising the hood
Metallic colors of purple and green
As us old folks say they sure were keen
But those were of years ago
Them days never see no mo



Try kindness and love

Every thing I see
Can be poetry to me
The way you walk
The way you talk
No need being sad
No need being mad
Try make things good
Least try we should
Eyes windows of the soul
Least what I've been told
Careful what you say
Words can make or break
Try kindness and love
Really that's all it takes

Save the day

Clouds black blue white
Sky a beautiful sight
Trees swaying with the breeze
Rain on way
It's what we need
Way behind on rain
Causing farmers lots of pain
Only way out would be a hurricane
Rain would be gained
Wish there was another way
To save the day

Happy day

A month of Sundays
Dog day afternoons
Happens every blue moon
Blueberry winter
Indian summer
Birds of a feather
Flock togather
Whats wrong is right
Whats right now wrong
Father knows best
Momma said not to come
Don't cry over spilt milk
Whats done is done
Cats away mice will play
Have a happy day


Twinkling of an eye

Watch the eastern sky
Listen for sound of the trumpet
Be ready
Hour or day not known
Dead in Christ will rise from grave
All else gathered up
Meeting in the sky
All in the twinkling of an eye




A better day

Laying here in bed
Glad I'm not dead
Some not with luck
Sun and moon never to see again
Missed by all their friends
I tell you true
Don't be blue
A better time on the way
It could happen any day
Don't feel sad
When things get bad
Smile and be glad
A better day is to be had

If ya don't mind

Three words I have to say
Chili cheese fries
A big plate would make my day
So my homies in da hood
This is what would be so good
If ya got some spare cash
Won't ya make a dash
Cruise right over to Checkers if ya don't mind
Big plate of chili cheese fries if ya be so kind

Harleys


Big colorful loud with lots of chrome
Those Harleys they do roam
Up down the road they go
Most look like just for show
For me a Harley with training wheels would work
But that's not cool I would look like a dork
Wish I may wish I might
Maybe I could get a trike

Pine tree

As I watch the Pine tree sway
I think to myself what a beautiful day
Way up high
Headed for the big blue sky
Georgia Pines from the mountains to the sea
A more delightful sight there can't be
Whisper of the wind through the trees
Oh how wonderful on a summers eve

You never gave up on me


Lord I need your wisdom and blessings today
For this I do pray
That I will be a light to those I meet
With love kindness I want to speak
At times I fall short
But by your blood I've been bought
Even at times your love I fought
Not now I thought
You never gave up on me Lord
Many I have failed
But you Lord never was ashamed
With you I had no blame

Georgia

Georgia I'm born and raised
Never can I give enough praise
Mountains to the sea
Georgia is the place for me
Aroma of Formosa fills the air
On a summer eve takes away my cares
Brown Thrashers and the Pines
Can there be a better find
Georgia is my home
Never again will I roam

Jesus my Lord

God is good
This we all know
Jesus His son died for our sins
So we might live again
Jesus did cry
I'm sure he didn't want to die
Oh my Lord think of his pain
But think of what we gained
At times I feel unworthy and want to cry
But then I think of Jesus
He loves us so much he gladly did die
Writing this my eyes fill with tears
Jesus my Lord takes away my fears
