Ride Outside

The grass is a vibrant green.
The sky's undeniably blue.
The sun's shining bright,
Such a beautiful sight,
I'd say I'm alright, wouldn't you? 
Barefoot I go, taking it in.
Breathing the fresh morning air.
Walking along
The birds sing their song
Freeing myself from all cares.
A couple of quails paddle past
Some slimy snails slink on by
The blossoms are bright
The dew catches light
Fluffy clouds scatter all through the sky.
Under a canopy of trees
I hear the water's melodies
The vines on the wall
Invite mystery's call
New wishes and hopes fill my dreams.
Decide to live in the moment
Time doesn't matter so much.
Look at the trees!
Feel the fresh breeze!
Let go of the bustle and rush.
Why worry when there's plenty of good?
Focus on the positive side.
Sure life has tears and frowns
It has ups and downs,
But that's what makes it a ride!

Priceless



Honesty, righteousness, faith, and trust.
Because our character knows we must.
Purity, virtue, without guile.
Heart and mind, undefiled.


True greatness, comes from within.
Sincere love, without sin.
Strong foundation, no regrets.
Breaking all of Satan's nets.


Power, strength, comfort, care.
Assurance that the Spirit's there.
Treasures in heaven, not on earth.
Aware of our divine worth.


Change of thought, and heart, and deed.
Looking for what others need.
Keeping our word whatever cost.
Nurturing those that are lost.


Loving God more than man.
Doing everything we can.
Try these things and you will see,
Priceless is Integrity.

SHINE!

The sky is not the limit,
And neither are the stars,
If you can dream it you can do it,
So dream and reach so far!

You can do it, you can shine,
Your talents are for you,
Here is where we build them,
So that is what you'll do!

This light that is inside of me,
I'm learning how to make it grow,
I know it comes from up above,
I want the world to know!!!

I feel ready to explode with truth,
Working hard, this feels so right!
Work together, to make it go,
We will shine the light!

This light that is inside me,
I know it comes from Him,
I'm learning how to make it grow,
And shine it like its always been.

I'll search for ways to lift others up up up!
And I know what I have will be enou-ou-ough!
And I know now what I'll do,
I'll shine my light now for you!

I feel ready to explode with truth,
I know what I will do,
I will radiate His lasting light, 
And shine it all for you!

Mother's Beacon

First time you meet 
Five fingers twined
Around your one
Moment divine.

Who knew one could
Love one so much, 
Worth more than gold
One single touch.

The days go by
You watch her walk
She starts to laugh
And sing and talk.

The sweetness in
Those precious times
Fill your heart with 
Joy sublime.

You give your best 
To be the one
To help her find 
God's chosen son.

The years fly by
The girl so small
Is now getting
Rather tall.

Her broken hearts
Become yours too.
You must be strong
To help her through.

All dressed in white
You see her go
But not without
The things you know.

A mothers love
So strong and bright
A beacon of 
The purest light.

Wonderful Day to Live

Watermelon juice and dirty feet
Vibrant flowers smelling sweet.

Sitting in the shade of a maple tree
Laughing along and feeling free.

Splashing in the river, walking on logs.
Living discoveries, snails, worms, frogs.

Snacking on Doritos, licking fingers
Hoping this feeling always lingers.

Arms behind our head, gazing at the sky
Watching the fluffy clouds glide by.

This moment is glorious and sublime.
It seems to stand still for a time.

Smiles like sunbeams fill our hearts
Imparting peace that never parts.

Free to love and free to give.
What a wonderful day to live!

Free to Fly

Trapped inside the walls of my mind,
Trying to get out.
But I keep building more brick walls
Of solid fear and doubt.

Looking for one patch of light,
But every time I find
A glimpse of hope, the walls close in.
My trust is left behind.


Every tear drop drowns a smile.
The rain describes my heart.
The clouds of fear surround my soul,
It's tearing me apart.


I cannot get myself out
I'm stuck inside of me.
Will someone help me to escape?
Does someone hear my plea?


As I fall upon my knees
And wait for a reply
I feel a warmth so sweet, so bright,
So strong, and so nearby.


I couldn't get out on my own
But as the time went by
Someone in heaven raised me up,
And freed my soul to fly.

The Night Before The Lord's Return

Here's one for the Easter season. :)

Water droplets scatter 
In the whistling wind.
Trees moan and leaves
Reach for their loss.

Cloudy light glimmers on
Sprinkled spider webs.
Emptiness in
The moonlight's gleam.

Absent glory and truth.
The breeze chills the bone.
Some vital part 
Of life is gone.

The elements yearning
For natures missing peace
Pleading for hope
To fulfill grace.

The crispy mist full air
And wet trembling grass
Waiting, for the
Tomb is empty.
