I heard a man named John sing a tribute to
One of the greatest men he ever knew,
he was a man of sweet heart and a beautiful soul
he had neither world acclaim, silver or gold,
but what he did have, it can’t be bought
the man had real Love, and that’s a lot
By: J.N.R Dutton
He doesn’t miss the whiskey,
he doesn’t miss the wine
he’s been free of it all 28 years,
going on 29.
The day he laid the bottles down
was one of the best days of his life,
Now he helps others who are where he was,
he’s pointing them all toward the light
By: J.N.R Dutton
Eric, if you were reading this I’d like to say,
I’m a bigger fan now than I was
even just yesterday
The way you tell a story, brother,
it just keeps blowing me away
every time I think I’ve heard your best
you top it & prove me wrong
As long as you keep sharing, man,
I’ll forever sing along
By: J.N.R Dutton
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
By: J.N.R Dutton
Faith it til you make it,
and afterwards too
Always pursue what is
beautiful,
pure, and true
By: J.N.R Dutton
I’ve got such sweet peace inside now,
some of the best I’ve ever had
it really makes me glad
hope I can bring inspiration,
instead of being a drag
By: J.N.R Dutton
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?
By: J.N.R Dutton
Sometimes the silver linings,
through life’s tears & haze
may be hard to see
but that doesn’t mean that
they aren’t there,
sometimes we just need some help
to give our vision clarity
By: J.N.R Dutton
Sometimes the greatest victories
are won through courage,
sacrifice, pain & sorrow,
Don’t give up hope in the
midst of your storm
Be thankful for your yesterdays,
todays & tomorrows
By: J.N.R Dutton
Ultimately, decided to take the advice I was given regarding this blog, and not retire it (as you can see) I did have a pretty sweet break & am actually very refreshed.
I’ll just write when I have the most time, highest energy & best inspiration.
Awaken the muses in your mind,
forget your blues,
the day’s difficulties,
for a time,
share with us a new thing,
let your art loose,
let your heart & passion sing
& shine
