BLESS THE LORD;TIRED SOUL



TIRED SOUL


Rest against
My shoulder


Lean
against Me


Lay
your troubles
upon My Heart


Speak
The words with Me


Walk
Beside and you will see


I am There with you

For
The steps you made


One
Step has shown


I
am There with you


For
your Heart
Has Faith in Me


When
you're Tired
I will rest with you


For
your Faith
Has carried Me


When
I hear your Heart
I will carry you


For
your Faith
and Love
Have spoken to Me


When
you're Tired
and can't go on


Remember
When
you carried Me


Your
Faith and Love
was there with Me.


A Poeatreeman
When
you carry Me

The Hands
are Faith and Love


Dedicated To Tracy 
& all Tired Souls

A FIREFIGHTER'S TRIBUTE; MAY GOD BE THE FIREMAN, Who Rescues Me




A Poeatreeman
May God Be
The Fireman
Who
Rescues Me
I
Pray
He is on Call
Every Hour
I
Need
Him For Life
To
Keep
The Fires
From
Consuming
My Soul
I
Need Not
Burn
The Roads
I
May
Catch Fire
Before
I Am Old
Who
Then
Will
Receive
My Soul?

MY SWEET LORD; TO TOUCH GOD



TO TOUCH GOD


If I could
Touch you
With my hand
.

I would
Reach out
With my heart
.

If I could
be
By your side
.

I would
Stay there
All life long
.

If I could
See you
With my eyes
.

I know
I would
Lose my fears
.

If I could
Be
A little bit
Like you
.

I know
I would
Have hope
For me
.

If I could
Know
The things
You feel
.

I would
Want
To share
Your pains
.

If I could
Know
I was not bad
.

I know
You would
Come to me
.

If I could
Be
As sure as you.


My faith
Would be
As strong
As yours
.

If I could
Have
A moment
With you
.

I would
Give
My life
To you...

CLOCK OF LOVE



CLOCK OF LOVE

LOVE
MAY PASS THE HOURS.

YET
NEVER CHANGES TIME.

ITS HAND
KEEPS MOVING.

EVEN TILL
THE END OF TIME.

IT’S WOUNDED
BY THE HEART.

EACH BEAT
IS ITS MOVEMENT.

KEEPING
THE HEART IN CHIME.

THE HEART DOES GO ON; REMEMBER ME



REMEMBER ME

                 
When love passes
Remember Me

The way
it used to be

When day passes
into night

As twilight falls
and you're asleep

Remember
the dreams
we use to have

How we hoped
to make it true

Remember
all the things
we did

How we were
when we
were together

Remember
all the love
we had

How we felt
for one another

Remember
all the tears
we shared

How we laughed
at each other

Remember
all our pain
and sorrows

How we hurt
one another

Remember
the love
we had before

How we thought
it would
last forever

For I Remember
all we did

Still I wish
we were together

Most of all
I Remember you

With Love,
Tears, and a Smile

For all these things
are you

Each time
I think of you

I Remember
how it use to be

Hope you are,
Remembering
Me..

THE LONG BLACK TRAIN; A SHOT IN THE DARK



A SHOT IN THE DARK


Fate is no Stranger 
For I am its Course.

The differences between
Destiny and Fate .


Is a matter of Choice


If I turn the bend
Will it lead me

To the End?.


If I take the Curve

Too Fast

Will I turn at the End?.


If I am at

The Crossroad

What Track

Am I on?.


No choo choo train here

Nor whistles

Blowing

To tell me
What's Ahead.


Only Light and Dark
That I must Tread.


No Stop Sign

To Watch..


Except

What I have done.


No signal to alert.

If Conscience
Is not on track.


No light ahead
If I am in the Dark.

No Conductor
If I am its Charge.

A Poeatreeman

There are two Roads,
One Course

There are two Ends,
one Right

There are two Choices,
One Left

There are two Fates,
One Heaven

There are two Doors,
One Open

There is one Time,
When I was Born

One God,
To Open the Door

One to
Close it all Behind.

Dedicated to Nikole
& THE LONG BACK TRAIN
