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.

SILENT KITTY

Here i sit and ponder,
thru the window I look yonder;
to see if anyone passes by,
maybe they'll stop and wave a 'hi';
or maybe something will catch my eye,
a dog, a squirrel,or even a butterfly.
I see someone that i don't know,
could it be a friend or is it a foe;
they haven't seen me looking yet,
their mind is on other things I bet;
it's not that I'm to small to see,
it's just that they're to tall to be.
they're to busy looking on the ground,
to see all the things that are around;
the many patterns in the sky,
gives wonderment to the eye;
leaves that have fallen from the tree,
the different shades of color for all to see;
a piece of paper rolling down the way,
so many things,I can not say;
patiently sitting by the window frame,
looking content and ever so tame;
but let a mouse or lizzard cross my path,
and watch me leap with a tiger's wraith,
I might softly 'meow' instead of a roar,
but don't be fooled, I know so much more.
We've been honored and revered thoughout the ages,
we've been there at mankind's different stages;
wheither building pyramids out of stone,
or attempting to cast spells with animal bones;
you see I'm heir to a long mystical line,
it's cause I'm a cat, I'm one of a kind.

A FAMILAR NAME

If i came to you with a sigh,
would you give your shoulder so i could cry;
if i asked you for a helping hand,
would you push me down into the sand;
If you were given a chance to right a wrong,
would you do it quickly or would you take very long;
If i had a special gift to give,
and it showed you a better way to live;
would you share with everyone you knew,
or be selfish and keep it just for you,
If someone gave their life for you,
would you remember and honor them too.
Well, a person did do this,
to give you soul eternal bliss.
He died for us in a forien land,
to show God's love is truly grand;
2000 years ago this did accur,
now today it seems like a blur.
If you were to die on this day,
when you saw god, what would you say;
would he be familar with your name,
or would you have to make your claim;
to explain how your life has gone,
all the right , and all the wrong;
would it balance out for you,
to go to heaven and become a new;
or would it wind up with a sigh,
and down you go to forever fry.
If it's difficult to present your case,
what would it be like face to face;
to make it easy for you to go,
here is something you should know.
akey was given for heaven's door,
it would unlock it forever more;
to make it work from the start,
you have to believe with the heart;
that god sent his only begotten son,
who rose again before the day was done.
This is the secret to get you in,
with christ on your side, you will always win.

EVERLASTING LOVE

I've done many things in my life,
some of chaos,some of strife;
many places i have been,
being wild since i was ten;
on the streets i did live,
taking anything but i would not give,
then one day i heard of you;
this was a concept totally new,
here was someone who thought of me,
thought of the best of what i could be;
many relationships i have had,
never long and always sad;
So,when i got to know you,
and found out all that you could do;
I had to stop and wonder why,
you had chosen me,the center of your eye;
I heard the words you had said,
gives me peace of mind when i go to bed,
warm and safe inside your arms,
nothing of the world can do me harm;
I now know what love can truelly be,
because of you i now can see;
the earth and stars can pass away,
but your loving words will forever stay;
So, I pledge the heart and soul of me,
that i shall always walk in the light of Thee.
