TUITION
A DEGREE
IN STUPIDITY
COST TOO MUCH.
THE DIPLOMA
HOLDS NOTHING.
OH WELL
AT LEAST
I LEARNED
TO BE A FOOL.

DUD !
NOW IF YOU
CAN GET SOME WISDOM
HOW MORE FOOLISH
CAN YOU BE ?
IT ONLY TAKES CENTS
LET ME COUNT MINE.
MY PIGGY BANK
IS EMPTY.

Requote (Personal opinion of course) Cool

strengthens our nerves,
and sharpens our skill.
Our antagonist is our helper.”

Thanks for your thoughts
I do not mind your play

I will have to sharpen my skills
that my blade my be as sharp
yet my words will only tell
how fencing will do me well
thanks for the lesson
I am on my toes now
Play all you want,
though be fair in your play,
I hope you learn whenever you play
Life’s not a game,
Yet it plays, with your will..
Take heart, it will play itself in the end.
You will win for Heaven is there.
If you choose to win.
The biggest play will be your life.
The curtain has risen,
The play is your to call, When it is over.
Who will be there, to tell you, if its good?.
I hope God and His Angels,
WILL applause your play.
Don’t want the critic. He may burn the play.
A Fires end is not your play .
Enthusiasms ,is ok.
Yet not to burn up your way.
Have fun with my words,
and enjoy the day.

CROSSROAD
We Start with a Straight Road
And Only Turn
When We See a Bend
Right and Left
Are The Choices of The Road

Taken When We Choose The Way
Heaven and Hell, are Different Lanes
Crossing Over, Will Change The Way.

Sharing it,
Will be the Smartest of all

MY JOYFUL WILD RIVER
THE RIVER OF LIFE
The River of Life
begins
when we are born
It streams
across Life
to take us
through it all
It has
its ebbs and tides
rises
with the storms
It flows to take us
to each
day's dawn
The course You set
will only
change with choice
The River takes us
to many
different points
How you affect
The River
will ripple
through it all
It is not
always smooth
nor does
it have
to be storming
The River
is the beginning
that flows
from the womb
It takes us
to eternity
to set
the course
we choose..
A THOUGHT!
There is
no end
when
The River
flows to God
There
is only
start
where
will I begin?
There
is one choice
where will it be?
Dedicated To Belinda
A Poeatreeman
One starts
when One
is on The River
One chance
to stop
from falling
to the falls
One's birth
will bring
me to it all
One's end
is only
just beginning
Eternity
is just ahead
no time to lose
Time
is not running
nor are you
You're faced
with what
you chose to do
No time
to think
of where I will go
I knew
before
I ended my journey.

Then
I Can Take a Step
Each Day
To Take me
To The Stars.
My Words
Will be of Heart

By Care and Love.
The Ink I will Use
Is Tears That Fell
Dipped, in Sorrows
When Hurt was Held.

With many Tears
That Fell.
I Cannot
Wipe it Away

That Infectious Smile,
was your Love
To show the World,

For you open your Heart,

Gave them Hope
with your Laughter
For your Easy ways,
in which you Reigned
Brought the World,
a Little closer
Now your, Smiles
and Laughter
Has Turned ,
the World to Tears
For you, are not

In their Hour,

For God, has Chosen
to Take you
Place you ,
Far From Here

I'LL NEVER COME HOME AGAIN: OH GOD
I'LL NEVER COME HOME AGAIN
For I am with God
my friend
Though I am here
with He
I have not
left you alone
For I will see you
my friend
When time comes
calling once more
Though all the good times
have passed
My love
will be here in heart
Remember
not all is lost
As long as we have
our hearts
The love is from
you to me
God
will see you through
Now I am not here
with you
Just remember
the songs we sang
Know we were friends
For all the good
and bad has gone
When we leave it's done
So take heart
I'll be here with He
For His hands
have held me this long
I will not be lost
For in Him
I found my home
My heart
has finally known.

Who is Holding

I am left with
a Choice
Which I Choose
The Flag is up,
The Hole is Down
The Greens are Running,
I must Slow Down
Can't move ahead
if I go Too Fast
I may Find myself
in The Rough at Last
Can't Make The Big One

Can't Win
if I Throw in The Clubs
Can't Do anything
If I am Not in The Game
Can't Change The Course
unless I am Playing..
