The person & poet I was yesterday
vs. Today
may not necessarily be
the same in every way,
but it’s okay to grow,
to mature, to change
A true artist wouldn’t have it any other way

Seth
Seth chased down a dream & the big city bright lights
All was going well, rolling on, steady as a stone
but it didn’t keep him warm at night
He missed his wife, and the life
they’d built together back home,
He knew it all meant nothing,
if he was living the dream alone

Live,Learn & Love
Don’t let pain permanently
turn your heart to stone
Don’t let rage make your blood
permanently run cold,
We all live, learn
& Love as we go
Let warmth flow
to the depths of your soul

Borrowed Time
If there’s one thing I know,
It’s that worlds & fortunes
really can and do change on a dime
Sometimes
So I’m treasuring each moment,
cause you know, the truth is that
We’re all on borrowed time
I’m taking it all in, soaking it up
While working on the next rhyme

Glad Just For Being Alive
Waves coming in on a beach,
w/the moon overhead
People have been up for hours,
saying they’ll sleep when they’re dead
It’s a grand get together of new & old friends alike
Enjoying each other,every moment they’ve got
Glad just for being alive

A poem about fellowship, life, and happiness
Reason To Celebrate
Another sweet day that the Lord has made
Use it well & give Him praise
Come, whatever may
His Love is always
Reason to celebrate

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

Walk In The Light
Some people may think Jay’s not a believer,
but some of his lyrics I’ve heard lately
tell me differently….
Now admittedly,
Just like everybody,
He’s had his share of failures
Times when he didn’t live quite right
but I believe that as long as people
still have a conscience & pulse
There is time for them to walk in the light
I have faith that
God can open anyone’s heart & eyes
I believe that when we get to heaven
Who all we see there may take us by surprise
By:J.N.R Dutton
This is written for one of my favorite lyricists, who has known darkness before, and who now seems to finally see the light.
Cheers Jason, & much Love brother.
Forevermore
Keep your eyes and heart
on the Savior,
King Jesus,
In the sunshine
& in midst of your storms
He will sustain you
In His Love forevermore

Campfire Feast
Danny sits by a campfire
grilling venison in bacon grease
When he’s done he covers it w/cheese
To be served w/onion rings
He’s made the feast for a whole slew of
friends & family, to all of them it’s heavenly
Food & life, the way that it should be
