JAILHOUSE CAROL

done to the rhyme of "Twas the night before Christmas"

It was the night before Christmas, and all thru the jail,
everyone was on lock down,cause no one would tell,
inmates were nuzzled inside of their beds,
thoughts and visions of the big boys--you know the"FEDS",
pillows were stuffed with items of care,
in hopes that sleep would soon be there;
when out in the rec yard there rose such a clatter,
 the guard rose from his desk to see what was the matter;
he threw open the door, and looked all about,
saw nothing more, and was full of doubt,
 suddenly all the doors were unlocked,
the guard outside was a frozen block; 
quickly I walked out of the pod with glee,
looking to the top of the roof of what i could see;
A sleigh with eight reindeer's staring back at me.
Then a long bearded biker climbed up on the sleigh,
said a few words and they were up and away.
I walked down the sidewalk and saw them go out of sight,
then heard a bellowing laugh and the words of fright;
Piss on you all
Merry Christmas 
and  Good Night.

WHEN WE FIRST HAD WINGS

Life was not so simple,when we first began,
filled with love and togetherness is what our hearts sang;
the joy and happiness that we had
made nothing ever seem that sad;
struggling made us stronger,that was the original plan,
with heads held high as we walked upon the land
overcoming obstacles were exercises of the mind,
of all the creatures that were around
we knew we were one of a kind;
making pathways on the earth
we did this from our birth;
swimming in the ocean's Waters
was taught to our sons and daughters;
they did this just for fun,
lying on the sandy beaches soaking up  the sun;
then a thought accurred to us laying there one day,
to explore every avenue that came across our way.
So we ventured outward over all the lands,
sharing new experiences, knowing life was grand;
wetland,dry land,dessert,and snow,
we saw it all and further we did go;
up the mountains, and over the hills,
pushing the boundaries gave us the thrills,
thoughts of "can't" and "could not do"
were words and meanings we never knew;
father and farther we did go
never accepting thoughts of "couldn't" or of "no";
so then one day we had to stop,
for before us was a mighty drop;
as far as we could see,
was a vast distance like a sea.
we couldn't see if land was over there,
just lots of clouds, and wind ,and air.
So, one chosen to take the chance,
the rest of us would stay and dance;
singing and dancing thru out the night,
giving love and support to his great flight;
a running start he did take,
with the attitude of:"Hey, a piece of cake";
as he dived into the skies,
all watched with cheering eyes,
farther and farther he did sail,
no one thought that he would fail;
On the far side he did finally land,
looked about and saw it was grand;
the joy and wonderment that he did see,
couldn't believe that it happened to he.
He had to share this with the others,
he'd go back and bring his sisters and brothers;
running off the cliff with glee,
looking straight ahead,for clouds were all you could see;
when he finally had returned,
he tried to tell what he learned;
everyone gathered and stood in awe,
they couldn't believe what they saw,
on his back was 2 golden rings,
protruding from them was 2 golden wings;
everyone was talking so fast,
until someone shouted:"wait a minute", at last.
everyone stopped and looked where it had come,
and there with her arms folded stood a small little one.
She didn't wait a single beat,
to announce that it all sounded ever so neat;
"we danced here as he went far away,
but, it's time to follow wouldn't you say."
everyone nodded their heads with glee,
for she was correct, this they all could see.
They all left everything that they had,
not thinking twice, not thinking sad;
stepping up to the cliff as one,
all did a running start and then it was done;
hand in hand,into thew air they did fly,
soaring thru clouds;"man what a great high"
on the other side they finally did land,
rejoicing together, still hand in hand.
What a great feeling they had shared,
so happy,because together they had dared;
the little ones were bubbling with joy,
to them this was better than a brand new toy;
they knew how to walk,they knew how to run,
but being able to fly, was the ultimate fun.
So, before anyone could tell them to wait or to stop,
they ran back to the cliff and took a big hop;
over the side they did go,
not sure how to fly,they were to young to know;
soon their parents were coming to their aid,
the worries and fears did rapidly fade;
once all together the families did fly,
up farther and farther into the sky.
They noticed the adults all had wings,
but the little ones only had 2 golden rings;
when they returned to the far side of the land,
all their belongings were laying in the sand.
Everyone hugged and gathered around,
for this was a new life together they found;
exploring the tree tops,mountains, and hills,
a whole new concept, that gave them thrills;
the little one practised jumping about,
hoping their wings would begin to sprout.
A new way of life had begun,
now all strived to reach the sun;
through the way of life was the same,
the concept of flying became a game;
they practised their stalls,loops, and dives,
these new principals were changing their lives;
higher and higher they wanted to go,
for what reason, no one did know.
They burned up energy faster than before,
they now needed a building, they'd call it a store.
So permanent structures began to rise,
for food, clothes, and other supplies.
The little ones were big and now able to fly,
with joy and excitement still in their eyes;
but the old old adults were tired and sore,
they knew in their hearts, they would fly no more.
So, carriages were made upon the ground,
places to sit,with devices that made wind sound.
You see many people had homes in the trees,
so they could hear the wind's silent breeze;
the old old were very happy of this,
for the wind sound gave a felling of bliss.
The old old then moved farther away,
"They had lost their wings"; is what some did say;
soon others moved out there as well,
to find new things to trade and sell.
After some time there were people everywhere,
riding in carriages and flying in the air.
The new young ones had to decide,
they could either fly, or they could ride;
"seems like everyone knew how to fly",
let's try something new, and said goodbye to the sky;
fewer and fewer were developing their wings,
soon many were born with having no rings;
in the towns and cities that they did go,
allot of doubts developed, don't you know.
Where to place a stop light on a busy thoroughfare?
What color should i dye my own hair?
How much food should my storage box hold?
What do i do when it got really cold?
Why is his carriage different than mine?
Where should i take my friends out to dine?
These were some of the questions that came,
in all the cities and towns it was the same;
people were doubting all kinds of things,
in towns and cities this is what it brings.
No longer having the need to explore,
they were more concerned about locking the door.
The thoughts and attitudes of "if I could",
were replaced with "when i get a vacation,then i would".
No one bothered looking into the sky,
seems they had no time to just wonder "why";
it finally happened, the wings were all gone,
marking an end of an era, where your heart had a song;
arguing and doubting now were all abound,
nobody realized why they were stuck on the ground;
faded memories inside of a dream,
thoughts of happiness,so it did seem.
A positive outlook waking each day,
like feeling the first drops of the sun's new ray,
full of love and happiness that your heart want to sing,
alas,........now it's just a memory of when we first had wings.

Mists of Memories

Family and friends that you know,
fading memories that go slow;
the slow hazing of a person's mind,
those that are thought of in kind.
Stories changed as time goes by,
remembering clearly is a sigh;
physical ailments begin to set in,
thinking that this is such a sin.
I can remember when i was young,
full of strength and so much fun;
wasn't anything i couldn't do,
now thinking back makes me blue;
thoughts and feeling i have now,
to the younger generation i do bow.
Embrace life and never let go,
for memories are the jewls, you know.
So when you get as older as me,
mists of memories is what you see.

STAR TRIBE

Star tribe walked the land,
disguissing themselvs the best they can;
coming back from the stars,
having memories, leaving scars;
not physical ones that you can see,
unless you can look inside of thee;
inside where the spirit dwells,
thoughts and stories that it tells;
of when they first began,
before they walked upon the land;
travelling distances from far away,
landing on earth,making their stay;
helping the people that are here,
to start to grow and overcome fear;
this is part of the original plan,
no more doubts of i think i can;
to become becons of light,
and chase away the fright;
they came to help mankind survive,
to them everything became alive;
the creatures big and small,
fellowship with one and all;
sky people walked the ground,
now limited by physical bounds;
passing their abilities in our genes,
to the rest of the unverse,we're only teens;
they would return one day, they said,
thoughts and memories in our head;
they told us, that when we dance on the ground,
that they would hear the spirit sound;
to them it matters not time and space,
when we dance,we are in a different place.
So, brothers,sisiters, join with me,
a celbration dance for all to see;
for we are the children that were cast,
from the Star tribe of the past.

A HOLIDAY GATHERING

Home I take off to go,
a 4 day weekend of snow;
coming in from everywhere,
me,I really don't care;
hams,and jams,pudding and pies,
a glorous feast to tantilize the eyes.
Once a year we all gather around,
adults and children-oh what a sound;
everyone talking about the year that's past,
me, I keep stuffing my face, hoping to be last;
finnally they all stop and look at me,
politely pointing to my mouth so they can see;
it will take a few moments to chew my food,
hopefully by then it will be a change of mood;
the kids are giggling looking at me,
probably my discomfort is what they see;
now it's my turn to speak,
looking around I feel like a geek;
thrying to think of something exciting to say,
"please, any diversion" is what I pray;
right before I begin to utter a sound,
we hear the rumbling and shaking of the ground;
the kids are up and to the window they go,
everyone has a look of confusion, they don't know.
The adults go outside so they can see,
all are looking around for what it could be;
finally one adults points up to the skys,
snow coming down,we must squint our eyes;
way in the distance far away,
something is there,but we cannot say;
fighter jets are flying past,
going back and forth very fast;
they seem nervious about what's in the sky,
leave it to old nana to say we're all going to die;
the other adults look at her and shake their head,
somebody wispers it's time for her to go to bed.
The kids are piled up at the door with glee,
all full of excitment trying to see;
whatever it is, it's headed this way,
we all start wondering if we should stay;
finally logic takes over at last,
someone shouts:"turn on the radio,fast".
Unfortunately,the kids get there first,
all wanting their station to play,tears begin to burst;
seems father knows what to do,
looks at the kids and says:"you don't like it-sue;"
finds a station that does just news,
everyone is quite trying to catch some clues;
the program is interuped with a special report,
there is an unidentified sighting of sort;
the local airbase has sent up planes,
radar sees nothing and this gives pains;
remain calm and stay indoors, the report does say,
stay tuned for futher developments thru the day;
the kids have started seculating what it could be.
such a vivid imagination even from the littlest one of three;
he says its monsters and demons coming to attack,
not to worry,cause he'll protect us all and fight them back;
this gives the kids a new avenue to play,
we adults still don't know what to say;
nightfall is here and the day is finally done,
the kids are all in bed,tired from their fun;
still nothing definite of what's in the sky,
even satilite pictures have a clouded eye.
Mother and father trying to remember where all the gifts are stashed,
hoping that none of the toys for the little ones are mashed;
in a few hours time it will be day,
with wrappings and boxes a complete disarray;
the kids are now up and running around,
full of excitement making Christmas sound;
chaos and confusion is what the day brings,
with all of us showing off all the new things.
Aunts and uncles still buying clothes the wrong size,
all of us wish they would really start to get wise,
the scientests finally agree as to what was in the sky,
it was a gentleman called Santa Claus was the reason why.
This Christmas started out like all the rest,
but so far this has turned out to be the very best.
So, whirther your gathering is large or small,
remember to be joyfull and full of cheer to one and all.

UPON THIS DAY

As you travel on this day,
remember what the lord does say,
love one another as if you,
words and actions speak love too;
always set His day aside,
these two things He asks to abide.
Light not shadow is the way,
this you walk every day;
helping others learn to see,
what god's love can trully be;
finding peace inside yourself,
and put worries on a shelf.
Alone you will never be,
walking together you and he.
So, as you travel on this day,
remember what to always say,
"The lord is my shepard,
He shall guide my way".

CELEBRATION DECLARATION

seasons greetings one and all,
welcome to a celebration on this ball;
the fun begins when we do say,
"I celebrate this very day";
A smile I pass to everyone I see,
eventually my smile returns to me;
the same warmth and joy that comes from me,
from the other person is what I do see;
So, pass a smile eveeywhere you go,
where it ends up, i do not know;
You may have to practise before you get it right,
but once you do, you will see the light;
it's not an easy task you see,
try many times so you can be;
passing on to everyone you see,
a smile of warmth and joy like it should be;
big and small, one and all,
join the celebration on this ball;
So, remember what to always say,
"I celebrate this very day".

FINAL TEST

Brush your teeth,wash your face,
today you get to present your case;
am I worthy or am i not?
This has been given conciderable thought;
Do i jump forward or stay in line?
I wish someone would give me a sign.
I scan the room for what I can see,
wait a minute...who's this standing next to me?
I have never seen this person before,
what do you mean there is another door?
Here they come marching in as one,
this will be a long day,i don't see this as fun;
lining up and ready to go,
who will be the first to throw?
vollying shots back and forth with glee,
looks like they're really out to get me;
head to head, toe to toe,
how much time is left to go;
suddenly I'm slaped in the face,
so much for my side of the case;
a few more days and it will be done,
am i locked up or do I see the sun;
need to talk to a representive of me,
to find out what he can truly see;
the judge is looking strangely this way,
this has not been a very good day;
I'm not guilty, I want to scream,
but no one is listening so it seems;
my side is really taking a toll,
it seems winning is not our goal.
So to the side line I do go,
my mind wasn't quick enough is all I know,
maybe tomorrow I'll have better luck,
trying to kick the ball instead of trying to duck.

CAN'T DECIDE

There are many people who can't decide,
going thru life on a back seat ride,
never willing to sit at the wheel,
like a boat hitting the waves without a keal;
which direction should I go,
don't ask me, I don't know,
others look to me for advice,
I just flip the coin, or roll the dice;
life is to short to worry about the small,
just smile alot and have a ball;
mistakes are made to help us learn,
unless it's the same mistake, then you burn;
I don't ask you to walk my way,
just start out with a smile each day;
it's very simple once you see,
have joy in your heart and a smile of glee.
So,remember this as you walk the land,
don't worry,smile alot, for life is grand.

CALLING TO THE SEA

I'm calling to the sea,
if any messages are for me;
memories of the smile that I knew,
kisses from your lips that the wind blew;
the warm and gentle touch of you,
radiance of love that was so true.
Reaching outward to the sky,
your image, the only thing in my eye;
longing for the closeness of your face,
brings me back to another time and place.
When we were starting out- oh so young,
hand in hand,doing anything was fun;
"forever" we said we would be,
hand in hand,you and me.
We both joined the service of light,
for we knew this was absolutely right;
assignments given to strange lands we did go,
even apart we knew our love would grow;
never complaining, neither one of us would do,
they had chosen us, because our love was true.
You were the one full of love,
like the gentleness of a turtle dove;
I was the one who had been tamed,
you said it was me you had claimed.
Now many many years have passed,
they never told us how long this would last.
So, here I sit in the stillness of the night,
longing for your love that was so right;
loneliness and solitude,I sit upon the sand,
with only memories of us hand in hand;
hoping and yearning for a signal from you,
to give my heart life and become anew;
yet another night has past,
how much longer can I last?
Again, I put a call out to the sea,
to see if there are any messages
from you to me.

THRU A FRIEND'S LIE

I knew some friends when i was young,
joy and happiness in our hearts we song;
together forever end ever we would be,
this was obvious for everyone to see;
we made a pack that we would hold,
our friendship would last as we got old;
nothing would ever tear us apart,
we gave an oath with blood from our heart;
no matter what obsticals came our way,
with support from each other it would be ok;
thru 12 years of school, we always stood be,
always giving a shoulder if one needed to cry;
marriage,dicorce,collage, and jail,
we were together no matter what the bail;
we knew that together we stood as one,
nothing was stronger except the light from the sun;
Then it all changed one day,
and you started to fade away;
first it was lillte things and it started out slow,
why didn't you tell us, I will never know;
you were different but you wouldn't say why,
you began hiding from us then you started to lie;
borrowing money from everyone you knew,
not doing the the things you normally do;
suddenly unable to hold down a job,
some say that you started to rob;
in and out of your house all night long,
the neighbors suspected something was wrong;
the type of people that hung out with you,
the criminal types and hookers too;
spiraling downward you did go,
we offered to help,but you kept saying 'no';
Then there was the call late one night,
you sounded scared and full of fright;
an abandon house was where you were,
you owed money or your death would accur;
supposedly you had left the house ,is what they had said,
outside someone came up and shot both of you in the head;
the years have passed, and I'm now old,
I continue to visit for a promise that was told;
I lost two of the most precious things to me,
my best friends I will never again see;
why didn't you listen to what they had said,
if you do 'crack', you will wined up dead.
So, when they say:"it hurts no one except for me",
that's an outright lie that they don't want to see.

GOD'S GRACE

I sing praises to your name,
my soul is what you claim,
the many things that you have put me thru,
shows to others what my faith is in you,
walking in the glory of the light,
doing what god expects of me and doing it right;
loving everyone that i can see,
including the lonely creature that is me;
brothers,sisters, we are one,
thru Christ Jesus,God's begotten son,
for He is the lamp upon my feet,
may God bless everyone that I meet,
So, I say this to you now,
I give alliance from my heart I vow;
forever and ever we shall be,
walking together He and me.

MOSES

As i walked along one day,
I came across something of dismay;
a burning bush I did see,
this was really unusual to me;
had the flames of fire,but no heat,
i've seen tricks but this had them beat;
then i heard a voice not shouting but loud,
the only thing around was a vert large cloud;
I fell to my knees with worry and fright,
then i saw the most beautiful of light;
the voice spoke to me and said not to fear,
it was filled with loving kindness that was dear;
said I had to get his people together,
that they would leave egypt forever;
gave me a staff and words to say,
to tell the pharaoh that we were going away;
the pharaoh didn't want us to leave,
they had many gods, they could believe.
So I told him the plague would come,
he just sat there pretending to be dumb;
one by one they ravaged the land,
he refused to believe they were from God's hand;
it was he who chose the final cure,
it was the one that was the very worse;
that the new borns would all die,
right in front of their mother's eye;
the wailing was heard thoughout the night,
all the citizens awoke with fright;
all 12 tribes gathered as one,
collected our belongings then it was done;
we travelled all night and all day,
trying to keep the chariots at bay;
at the red sea we were blocked,
egyptians behind us,we thought we were locked;
I raised the staff above my head,
I did exactly what god had said;
the water parted for all of us to cross,
the egyptians were late and they all lost;
we gave our praises and thanks on the other side,
for we knew that our God had not lied;
God called me up to the mountain for a talk,
I told everyone i be going for a walk.
So up into the clouds i did go,
the rest of the people watched from below;
in stone his words were placed,
He said they were for the entire race;
after everything he had done,
his people worshiped idols in the sun.
we were punished for 40 years,
wondering about with constant tears;
Moses was my name,
and this was a story of my fame.
So take it from the man who knew,
God almighty will always be true.

NO MORE

No more violence, no more pains;
no more bloodshed, no more stains;
no more hatred, no more lies;
no more suffering, no one dies;
peace and happiness we shall be,
giving glory to the light of Thee.
The next time someone knocks on your door,
don't pre-judge until you hear some more;
this just might be the key you lost,
for it was thru Christ who paid the cost;
to break the chains of our sins,
that is where life eternal begins.
So begin to kneel and bow,
a book was written that tells us how,
this is one that from the start,
was written by the heart;
some say that it was by man,
we know that it came from the right side of the hand.
So open up to the middle of the book,
it's called 'New Testament' and take a good look;
read what it says about that man,
and the miracles he did as he walked the land;
then decide inside your mind,
if he was truly loving and kind,
if you do indeed agree;
then you will begin to see,
what's god's plan is for you and me.

SPECIAL ONTO ME

I saw my Lord one day,walking down the street;
asked him where he was going,
the reply was someone i need to meet,
so i followed behind him as he continued on his way;
He traveled thru the night,and even futher thru the day;
He continued walking without even a moments stop,
me-I was becoming tired and knew soon i would drop.
sudenly he stopped and turned his head my way,
abrubtly I was taken back and knew not what to say;
standing silently there looking right into my eys,
I saw such great love and tenderness that i began my cries;
He gently placed his hands on me and said that i would be ok,
then He picked me up and said it's time to be on our way;
I finally had to ask him who He was to meet,
He said:"A very special person who i have waited for,
I have knocked many times but he never opened up the door."
Then why do you waist your time with a man to blind to see?
His reply was simple"This man is special onto me";
I slowly told him to go on and not to wait for me;
He just smiled and gently laughed,said i was who he was to see.
But lord, i'm no one special as i began to say;
He gently hushed me quite,and said no longer from this day;
you have followed in my footsteps no matter where i go,
never once complaining this i truly know.
Today the door was opened and full amount of light came in,
now you walk in righteousness forgiven for all your sins;
You are my precious child and i have watched you grow;
now that you are much older it's time you finally know;
every time that you had stumbled and fallen to the ground,
I stood there silently crying tears that had no sound;
I wanted to reach out to you,
and let you know all that i could do,
back then you did not listen to what i tried to say,
you said you were to busy, that maybe on a latter day;
then i decided to walk in front of you,
my love for you just grew and grew,
my heart is full of joy and delight,
for you are continuelly walking towards the light;
Now that you have seeked me out,
our journey takes a brand new route;
for now you and i shall be,
together thruout all eternity;
now you know that I am there,
and that I shall always care,
no matter where you go,
my love for you will always show;
So,as you step upon this land,
give praise to my father,
for he is grand.
In fellowship we will be,
for you are special onto me.

WINTER SEASONS

The winter nights'
they are so cold
there is no movement
no one is so bold
this is the time of season
one reflects with a reason
words and actions that were cast
of the seasons that have past
starting off when spring was born
many paths in fields worn
seeing all the many things
the different way life begins
from flowers in the ground
to the flying creatures that are bound
brother,sister, they have grown
so much bigger with admired tone
the young now come out to play
for this is a new and sunny day.
Summer brings the welcome of shade
some are natural, some are made
lazy days are required
waisting energy makes you tired
water sharing is a must
without liquid, we are but dust
changes of the leaves begins in fall
everyone knows this both big and small
the time to gather is at hand
food and supplies from the land
getting ready for a long winter nap
before the sprinkling of the white snow caps
another year that has passed
reflecting back
depends on how long winter will last.

SUNSET

Waking up late to start the day,
playing catch up is what you pay;
now it's time for mid-day break,
but there's so much paperwork,it's like a lake.
The boss is screaming down the hall,
telling everyone to get on the ball;
watching the clock,sets your pace,
but it's like being in a losing race;
finally it's time to go,
now the traffic,don't you know,
dealing with the utterly insane,
idiot people trying to change lane;
finally at home,safe and sound,
a chance to breath, no one's around,
the worries of the day are left behind,
now it's time to relax and unwind;
with the setting of the sun,
you know the day is finally done.
The many colors in the sky,
gives a visual delight to the eye;
red,yellow,orange,blue,
every day it's always new.
So when the day has been really tough,
and you fell that you've had enough;
sit outside and watch the sky,
see the beauty to the eye;
the final finish of the day,
a beautiful sunset in every way.

A FRIEND TO ME

What a friend you are to me,
you are what it's suppose to be;
in our lifetime many people come and go,
it's the good ones that you always know.
I'm a very lucky man you see,
with someone like you, i have to be;
thru the steps that we have had,
you have always made me glad;
when i count my friends on my hand,
i start with you ,for you are grand;
you are truely one of the best,
far superior than the rest;
in the good times and the bad,
you have stood beside me
it makes me very glad.
I can never go wrong with you,
smart,witty and beauty too.
So i have to say,
you are sunshine on a rainy day.

DANCING LIGHTS

Dancing lights in the sky,
tears of sorrow to my eye;
things remembered, things forgot;
things of memory that is sought,
fleeting glimses of the past,
friends and family that were cast.
Learning together how to be,
all were thinking "us", not me;
old and young, we were together,
striving to make our village better;
passing on what we earned,
having our young schooled and learned.
In the ways that were taught to us,
every young one, it was a must.
How one walked upon the land
is what made our people grand.
People knew us when we came,
honor and nobility in our name.
Tools of life were made with skill,
unlike anything from a mill.
Stories good and bad were said,
of the living and the dead.
All things of the land we knew,
what was what, and who was who.
Creatures of the land and sky,
were brothers and sisters in our eye;
peace and harmony was our way,
this we breathed every day.
Then there was a rip in space;
that brought forth the evil face;
screams and howlers were the sound,
shook our village and the ground,
turned the day into night,
all the creatures stood in fright.
Planes were made to get away,
women and children would leave that day.
The old remained and stayed as bait,
knowing that they sealed their fate.
Every direction we did go,
air and water,land and snow,
with the creatures we had fled,
all except the injured and the dead.
No one knew where the others went,
promises that messages would be sent.
So, we travelled to the stars,
memories of loved ones inside jars.
Across the distance of time and space,
all had traveled at a frantic pace.
Until we thought enough time had passed,
then we gave our thanks at last.
Celebrations done at night,
dancing to the stars of light;
hoping that the ones we knew,
were out there dancing too.
To different worlds we did land,
with no choice but to stand;
constantly looking in the sky,
some remembering ,some wondering why.
Looking at the stars all the nights,
waiting for a signal of the dancing lights.
The very young are much older now,
doing things and wondering how;
though loved ones are far apart,
each determined to make a new start;
to teach others what to do,
the young,the old,and even the new.
Mixing with the people of these lands,
passing our abilities in their gene strands.
Sharing of the ways of light,
so that all can reach new heights.
This is our peoples' way,
this we do every day,
helping others learn to grow,
teaching of light is what we know.
But in the quiteness of the night,
we still look for the signal of the dancing lights.
Our hearts still yearn for those we knew,
once we were many,now we are few.
It's been a long time since i danced the song,
I look around... so many friends are gone.
So, when you look at the stars at night,
please....please tell me , if you see the dancing lights.

MIGHTY LIGHTHOUSE

You are a lighthouse standing strong,
giving guidence to all that come along,
standing on top of a cliff,
or standing by a shore,
or standing on an island even more,
giving comfort on a dark and stormy night,
relieving the tension and dispell the fright,
the light that seen far out from sea,
telling others that home they soon will be,
when it's time to stand your post,
giving light along the coast,
making sure that all can see,
the powerful light that comes from thee.
Only one house is built to hold the light,
that is why you stand upright,
reaching out into the sky,
telling all they need not cry,
like a heartbeat in the night
pulsating the might light,
thru all different seasons
and all types of weather,
giving comfort and reasurance
to all creatures including the feather,
this is something that you do with grace,
for pride and stability is your base.
So, raise your head and hold it high,
you are the Mighty Lighthouse....
that is why.
