He rises early in the morning, eating homemade peach ice cream,
he knows it’s not really breakfast, but it’s delicious as can be,
and the smile on his face shows how it fills his heart with glee

Well With His Soul
The poet was away for a while,
hadn’t written in some days,
finally getting back to it
put a smile on his face
though the world, it still is crazy,
& there’s still things he can’t control
He’s thankful he’s got
happiness and health
& all is well with his soul

Like A Child’s Lullaby
Jim used to play such sweet, sweet tunes,
gentle as a summer breeze,
All his lyrics now run through my mind,
like a fast train runs on a railway line
Though he’s been gone for a long time,
the beauty that he left behind, it’s been so kind,
it soothes me so wonderfully, like a child’s lullaby

Choice
Today, what’s your choice?
Will you focus on those with
a negative voice?
or will you focus your heart on
goodness, faith, peace, and joy?

Lights Up His World
A young man w/ a guitar and an old hand me down Ford
He’s sitting on the tail gate, strumming some chords
Singing a Love song for the girl next door,
to him she’s more precious
than the most luxurious, expensive pearls
Just seeing her smile it lights up his world

Content
This is the story of an old man giving his heart & soul
To the family he raised, and the Love he vowed to have
& hold.
Facts be told, he’s never much lusted
for silver or gold
He’s made his living from jet black oil & coal,
& Southern cotton, white as pure driven snow
The greatest thing he’s ever come to know
Is to be content w/the life you make
& be careful of the seeds you sow

Nathan
Nathan’s got a hot peppermint mocha
coffee in hand
& he’s eating Pizza flavored chips
from a Pringles can
The place he lives in isn’t a mansion
In fact it’s small, but to him it’s grand
It’s sitting on his own piece of land
He can’t complain, he’s got it good,
he’s a simple man

Roots
Planted his roots on the far side of town
Married his High School Love & he settled down
Planted a garden, raised two good kids
It was a simple life, he was glad it was his

Play It Again
When Johnny plays the guitar
the crowd packs in
When he’s done they scream,
they say “play it again”
Everything he does man,
he goes for the win
He likes to make people as happy
as they & the music make him

Heart’s Lover
For my wife, with all my Love
I’d die for you, you know it’s true
but I’d rather we live for each other
& I know you do too
You are my soulmate
my heart’s lover,
As I am yours…
You are the beauty,
the wonder, the treasure
that I was so blessed
to discover
