Author: johnnyboeWe wonder what a dreamer thinks and how he sees the world around.
Does he perceive a different way is his life so profound?
Can we imagine why he finds that things are such a bore?
Does he simply refuse to accept or does he just want more.
Let's look at history and what it shared the famous people there.
Many of them were dreamers who were gifted but full of fear.
Let's look at artist Vincent Van Gough the torment he did see.
With all the wonders of his art his nightmares did not flee.
Now look at Thomas Edison a dreamer as a boy.
But look at what that dreamer did he gave us so much joy.
What would this world be like if we never had their gift.
No radio, no television, no elevator lift
Praise the educated ones, the powerful and the rich.
But without a dreamer's dream we'd be in a shallow ditch. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Mon Jun 8, 2009 10:55 AM CST |

Author: johnnyboeToday we live the best we can, because tomorrow is not promised to any man.
The yesterdays are in the past, The memories will always last.
On this river of life we go, trying to learn trying to grow.
Many times we hit a stone,many times we feel alone.
Life is what we make of it, so get out and live a bit.
Bring the joy within your reach,sit in the sunshine along the beach.
Life is short so make it last, forget the bad things in the past.
Smile at someone you meet today, chat with people along the way.
Integrity,vision,humility,and love, and always walk with the Lord above. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 1:06 PM CST |

Author: johnnyboeOh why must we be vulnerble with human frailties and such.
As we walk this earth we need that gentle touch.
What holds us back and ties us down are not the other's care.
For it's within our very soul in what we realy fear.
Here we sit just waiting for someone to understand.
Or maybe just a smile and lend a helping hand.
We sometimes miss the bounties the Lord has provided here.
From waking each and every day and having Him so near.
Love of people near and far is not so hard to do.
Once you learn that all this love is right inside of you.
We fall so many times from past and present pain.
At times it seems so very hard it makes us go insane.
Seek and you shall find so very, very much.
For there is someone out there with that gentle touch. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Wed Jul 8, 2009 9:15 AM CST |

Author: johnnyboeTo love and loose we sometimes gain, the future becomes a gentle rain.
A wind that blows you feel so near, that's why sometimes I shed a tear.
The night becomes a task for me, to sleep an hour or maybe three.
Now I search for life's treasures, turns out to be a lust of pleasures.
I'm intoxicated by wine and treat, as the women dance beneath my feet.
A prisoner of this earth am I, living wild until I die.
Bring fourth the hypocrites and vain, for they know nothing of love and pain.
I guess I'll wait for judgement day, to see if I can come your way. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 12:37 PM CST |

Author: johnnyboeThe Summer breeze is passing by I can't believe it's true
I must make each moment count I don't know what to do.
May we had some sun, it didn't last too long, June was such a bummer
July started out like June and then it turned to Summer.
Now its August and the days are great I never want to sleep
Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if August we could keep.
The joy of just a month or two is fading really fast
Now let's all have a party and make it last and last.
There is no time to waste and each day is such a tease
So let's all get right out there and enjoy that Summer Breeze. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 8:04 AM CST |

Author: johnnyboeWhen times are bad and grief is high, what makes us fall.
Friends begin to stray away,what makes us fall.
Fill our car with gas or give our children food, what makes us fall.
The weak becomes the devil's bait, what makes us fall.
Family's homes are lost to debt, what makes us fall
The quest for happiness seems a waste, what makes us fall.
Vacations become a thing of the past, what makes us fall.
Love becomes so hard to hold, what makes us fall
U.S. goods become extinct, what makes us fall
The greed of of others tighten the rope, what makes us fall.
Losing faith in God above, That's what makes us fall ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 12:11 PM CST |

Author: johnnyboeMuch of life is filled with tasks as we begin each day,
But much of life is wonderful if we can think that way.
Let us look at all the people from every walk of life,
They are no different in their stress and strife.
Wouldn't it be great to embrace each human life,
Instead of waging war and slice them with a knife.
Let us look at others as we would want them to stop and see,
That we as people are human and happy to be free.
So as you wake each and every day just smile at someone new,
Make them feel wanted they'll smile right back at you.
There are no guarantees and life may not be fair,
But we must keep our faith and keep our Lord so very near.
Next time you see someone in need of help or care,
Don't just turn away in hopelessness or fear.
Humility is simple just keep it in your heart,
Then you 'll realize you had it from the start. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 12:36 PM CST |

Author: johnnyboeWe stand for what we believe in through all our pain and grief.
Although our friends and neighbors look in disbelief.
The rich seem to control our life as they roll the dice, while the poor stay poor and the middleclass have to pay the price.
Our troops on foreign soil fall down every day, while here at home we struggle with bills we have to pay.
Politicians all have words that make them look so great, but once their seated in the white house they don’t need words for bait.
We seem to wonder why our country lost that guide, to make us strong and prosper and not fall on our side.
This is the strongest nation a melting pot of such, with all our races and creeds we’ve grown so very much. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2009 2:44 PM CST |

Author: johnnyboeYou shut me out when I’m feeling blue; I can’t make it here without you.
Come on baby show me just a sign, that I’m yours and you are mine.
Keep the faith baby heal my heart, I’ve been so sad since we’re apart.
Shake my soul baby, Shake my soul, Shake my soul baby, Shake my soul
Let’s have a party and invite our friends, we can make it and tie loose ends.
Don’t say no because I know your mine, we’ll be together till the end of time.
If we can’t make it honey tell me true, then I know just what to do.
Shake my soul baby, Shake my soul, Shake my soul baby, Shake my soul
I give you everything because you’re so fine; don’t hold back baby show me a sign.
Come on honey let me give you a shot; let me show you baby all I’ve got.
You know you want it honey don’t hold back, come on baby now jump in the sack.
Now shake my soul baby, shake my soul, shake my soul baby, shake my soul. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:40 PM CST About this poem:

Author: johnnyboeThere is no time for sadness, there is no time for blues.
Keep yourself focused and straight that's what you should choose.
Today's society and world tensions put many of us to fear.
That not to long down the river we may not be here.
Don't let that devil's bait get you,don't fall into his trap.
Keep your faith be positive with bible in your lap.
No matter how you see it, with hope and gentle care.
Knowing that the Lord walks with you there's nothing you should fear. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2009 12:43 PM CST |

Author: johnnyboeWe sometimes sleep our life away and don't know what we miss.
Our coffee with the morning sun sweetened with a kiss.
As we tend our busy lives we don't have time to say.
Let's just touch and hold each other before time slips away.
Look there goes another day we planned for better times.
We put off what we really wanted and never saw the signs.
As we work so many hours for our faithfull pay.
We seem to neglect many things as time slips away.
If we can keep our balance and let each other know.
That holding hands and kissing will make our love just grow.
Put the golf clubs in the closet,shop another day.
Keep in tune with life before time slips away.
The tension of the world around us should make us realize.
That every day is precious and life is such a prize.
I'm not much of a preacher but I must kneel and pray.
Live each day to the fullest before time slips away. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Posted: Mon Jun 8, 2009 10:59 AM CST |
