One can, but wonder
 
Imagine a world of no diversity,life taken for granted,no curiosity
No thought of the past,no hope for tommorrow
A heart wrenching thought,a world full of sorrow
 
What would be the purpose,what the need
world dominated by hate,
ruled by greed
 
Does this sound familiar
Is this scene at task,the state of the world
which leads us to ask
 
From whence do we come,where are we headed
The seeds we have have sown,the climate
we've created
 
Is it too late,have the lines been drawn
as a society,have we failed
as a race,are we doomed

                             OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
 
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
THAT CAME DOWN AND TOUCHED ME ONE DAY
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
LIKE A DOVE, YOU CAME DOWN TO STAY
 
 
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
LET ME SLEEP IN PEACE WITHOUT DELAY
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
KEEP ME IN RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THY HOLY PATHWAY
 
 
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
SOMETIMES I SIT BACK IN WONDER AND DISMAY
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
WHEN I'M WRONG, TEACH ME IN COUNTLESS WAYS TO PRAY
 
 
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
YOU ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO LIFT MY BURDENS AWAY
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
YOU HAVE NEVER LET MY SOUL DECAY
 
 
OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
USE ME, MAKE ME, CLEANSE ME, MOLD ME, AND SHAPE ME LIKE A PIECE OF CLAY
OH, PECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS
THY LOVE IS LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS TO BE SUNG AND PLAYED

A  Special  "Someone"
 
From the day of one's birth,til the day of one's demise
A constant struggle for survival,a constant battle for one's life
This journey may be but a short one,this quest for life's lessons,which lie in store,a classroom for one's spirit,a special treasure to carry forth
 
If one may be so lucky,If  fate should be so kind
A special soul may greet you,a special "someone" for life's ride
A soulmate to accompany us,with whom life's accolades we may share,a friend to lighten our burdens,a love who really cares
 
So vigilance  upon one's journey,patience upon life's path
Many challenges shall confront you,many filled with life's rath
Still,be open to this gift,be open to this chance,through this special "someone"
Upon you,God's favor hath been cast

 Mighty River
 
From high upon mighty mountains,to lucious valleys below
Curves the mighty river,in search of banks to over flow
To look upon mighty river,so soft,does she seem
Oh,but it be a ruse,with mighty power,does she scream
 
The mighty oak, has she broken,as she bores out her rath
The terror that reigns,as she rolls upon her destructive path
Her beauty can turn to fury,with but a drenching storm
An the land shall change its form,as over banks she swarms
 
So respect this beauty of nature,when so peaceful,she may seem
Remember,despite her beauty,the horror she maybe
She is but a mighty force,as before you ,the river screams
Oh,but to think,she was once a little stream

 I am not a poet my I have a stong believe that each moment of life we all make choices - good, bad or indiffert and those chioces affect everone around us,  Each choic mad is like filling a ballon with air - the more people affected the more air in the balloon

That Last "Goodnight"
 
From the day of one's birth
There's no concept of time,one know's not where they're headed,nor what they'll leave behind
 
Their journey is but a brief one,with no guarantees in life
  From  the dawn of their beginning,
Til that last "goodnight"
 
Tis an existence
Of many hills and valleys,many lessons
for one's soul
Til that last "goodnight",a struggle,of which  one has no control 
 
Life is never fair,neither unfair
You should know,tis but a lesson for our spirit
Enabling us to grow
 
So rejoice with your hills,take your valleys with stride
Remember, life's a gift
Where  no guarantees abide

Mother Earth
Winds o'er the meadows,which bristles in the bright sunshine
          Wild flowers blowing,joining this beautifully windy chime
              New life is flourishing,a gorgously new creation
        Mother earth is so inspired,as we watch with great anticipation
        Though man has harmed her greatly,as for his selfish needs,he explores
           With disdain for her beauty,does he destroy
Whilst earth's climate is changing.
 
Man's damage is wide ranging,the profit he so desires
Burning his world,maybe much beyond repair
Can there be,but a new day dawning
Where man ,with all his "genus",in his faults, he may soon be drowning
When mother earth retaliates,man's fate  may be at stake
His world,he has so damaged
The ability to sustain life,mother earth may soon,be unable to manage.

This Question of Life
 
This Question of life
A need of which,one must suffice
A longing,a seeking of knowledge
This quest by man
A need,he cannot admonish
 
Man's search for purpose
His need to know,the powers of life
From whence do they flow
 
Is there such a power
An all "knowing - being"
A great master plan,giving life meaning
 
As man has purged
Through the portals of time
A search,seeming futile
A life,he cannot define
 
Is this knowledge not his destiny
Is he not to know
This beauty of life
Of which,he has no control
 
I say,accept this great gift
Treasure it so
There may be but one chance
Of this,we may never know

 Death,A journey of life 
 
Death appears so ominous
An ending to a life,as we now know
The thoughts of it all passing
The earthly treasures,we adore
 
Yet,could it not be a new beginning
A new challenge for our soul
Another notch in our "belt" 
A new lesson,allowing us to grow
 
For life is but a stage
For our spirit to expand
To prepare us for death's journey
So vital to the soul of man
