Speak your mind
while you’ve got time
Say what you need to say
Tomorrow is not promised
Don’t hold back today

That’s A Lot
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

The Wrong Way
“If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”
Is what many like to say,
but I’d advise against it,
if they’re headed the wrong way

Julie & Jack
Julie ran into Jack today,
outside a small cafe
long ago she’d moved away,
something they’d both hated
but now she was back again
There was a time,
they both remembered when
they were inseparable,
the best of friends
As they looked into each others faces
there were things there time can’t erase
Like the bright shining light of Love
that never faded

Marshall
Marshall grew up hard and he grew up quick
his mind and tongue were sharp
and his skin was thick
he poured all his hardships into rhyme
working hard for a better life all the time

Like She Did Back Then
She cries her tears in secret each night
thinking back on another time
when she was one of
the greatest joys of his life
she’s at a loss now, so confused
these days their lives seem so out of tune
with each other….and she’s gotten
to thinking, about what she’d do,
what she’d give
to light up his world like that again
like she did back then

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

Pure & True
Faith it til you make it,
and afterwards too
Always pursue what is
beautiful,
pure, and true

Good Morning
Good morning friends, once again
Thankful as another sweet day begins
If I had anything I could say
Go out & touch a life today
in a positive way

Best Laid Plans
A man’s best laid plans
are futile if they’re built
on sinking sand
Instead I urge you to stand
on the solid foundation
