The Crew

I’ve so much yet to give… and so much more to say…

Each night I pray I’ll live… to give another day!

The past I can not change… nor would I want to try!

The present I’ll rearrange… to help my friends get by…

The future is my dreams… that one day will come true…

Until that day our friends… on the ship of life are crew!

We each will do our job… we all will do our part!

And when the journey’s ended… it’s only just the start!

Love mends the hurt and conquers all…

Love cheers the mind… we’ll have a ball!

No need to worry… don’t you fret…

You can join us… there’s still time yet!

No reservations needed here… someone’s waiting to lend an ear!

We’ll try and give you what you need…

Your growth will come… you planted the seed!

The end result?  That’s up to you…

You first will have to join the crew!

We’ll give you much… you’ll grow and learn…

And then one day… you too will yearn…

To pass along the joyous news…

And shout out loud, “COME JOIN THE CREW!”

"Universal Knowledge"

Universal Knowledge… it’s all there…

You simply look within!

God’s great love… for you and I…

He took away our sins!

Stand by, Oh man… and listen well…

Don’t give up the knowledge search…

You’ll sow… then grow… and soon you’ll know…

Our Universe has it’s PERKS!

"Where is the Light?"

Writing in my journal of life…

I jot down all the worries and strife!

But what about the LIGHT?

What happened to illumination?

Where did the Light go… When I lost my way?

Dumbfounded by the quest for Light…

I had lost my inner sight!

But wait!  What light in yonder person be?

Why, ‘tis none other than… ME!

The light had always been around…

It was within in ME… when found!

"You are the Reason"

 

You are the Reason…

You are the Season…

You are the Ticket…

...To my Paradise!

 

Come sit beside Me…

Kiss and revive Me…

Stay my dearest Lover…

... I will Sanctify!

 

Sit here…I implore You…

Ever…I’ve adored You…

Honey cakes and Goblets…

Filled with blissful Sighs!

 

Sweet… is the Flower…

Blessed is the Bower…

Gently falls the Shower…

Our Love will always Thrive!

"REMEMBRANCES REVEALED"

 

Since I was a little kid... a couple of years, or so, ago...

I've had trouble understanding... why we hurt each other so!

Once I saw an old black man... carrying a mattress on his bent head...

He had to step off the sidewalk... to let some white folks get ahead!

I felt the pain he was dealt...and deep inside... the humiliation he felt!

I was only a small white child... southern middle class at that...

But my brow wrinkled up... I wanted to knock those grown-ups flat!

I saw so many dreadful things... I knew they all were wrong...

As now I know how Yoko felt... when they ended her sweet John's song!

You see, there was more than one man, who fingered that deadly gun...

Just as I know more will do it... before the war is won!

This isn't a new or different war... it's as old as brother Cain!

Until prejudice and hate is dead... Alienation is going to rein!

No one wanted their Beatle man... to marry his Japanese bride...

Why couldn't they see her beauty within?  They made her feel she had to hide!

And every day across this land... another Lennon hits the ground!

Another Yoko is left alone... with hateful people all around!

I certainly hope this is getting through... to each and every one of you!

You know who you are... so what else can I do?  Except to say... One day…

Let's imagine you've finally found the man of your dreams!

But your folks don't like him… his family is too poor it seems...

Your friends all say, "He's so short... she's too fat! ... He's much too old!”

People stare at you and retort... “She doesn't seem to fit our mold!”

What will you do when that day comes?  I pray that you don't break...

And give away your one true love... for pious people's sake!

God loves us all... just as we are... no matter what our skin… or sin!

He only asks us that we “LOVE”... and not give up on HIM!

He doesn't forbid having fun... or even smoking pot!

He only says..."Don't Pig out!"  And that covers quite a lot!

I pray, someday, I'll see that man again!  I'll help him with his heavy weight…

Then we will walk… hand in hand... Up to that Pearly Gate!

"Our Goal"

 

Heavenly Father…Please hear our plea…

Help us to become…The best we can be!

 

Onward we battle…Higher we thrust…

Forward and backward…Our goal is a MUST!

 

Help us to listen…With mind, heart and soul…

ON…EVER ONWARD… For YOU are our Goal!

Featured Poem for February 2010:

"WITHIN"

 

Love, Light and Understanding…

Sometimes Life is so Demanding!

How to unwallow… from our Ego…

Incantations of Life to Bestow…

On all of our collective Souls!

With all of our predictive Sighs…

For all of our vindictive Lies!

Where do we go from here?

We pace… We race…

We try to contact Outer Space…

While all this time… Truth lies Within!

This makes me grin… then smile and laugh out loud…

And soon I see that brilliant cloud…

For all Life’s answers, have ever been…

WITHIN!

"Now is the Time"

 

Capturing the moment… is all we can do…

You’re with me… and I’m with you!

 

Don’t worry about tomorrow… today is today…

From present joys it will take away!

 

Forever can be… a really long time…

Today is when your light should shine!

 

If the magic is there… grab it quick…

Your love will be the glue to stick!

 

So when you hear your moans and whines…

“Tomorrow, will he really be mine?”

 

Stop yourself and say real quick…

“Today’s the day I’ll make it stick!”
