When I met you first
When I met you first To love you was my thirst I love in such a way That none has a word to say But see the greatest lover on his way To meet his partner in the bay Birds fly high and days roll by But I stand here dusk and dawn

Natures canvas

We lost our WOW program at work due to five people who were using the program to line their pockets, and my mom waits to see her freedom stolen from her as her beloved grandson has used her love as a whip against her.

A thousand islands in the sea
A thousand islands in the sea I am an island, all on my own, Eroded by the oceans foam, God’s heaven temporarily on loan, Like a grazing sheep, free to roam. A thousand islands in the sea, A plethora of souls isolated like me, I am a chron

Mike's Commandments
The Ten Commandments has been on TV before Palm Sunday for as long as I can remember.
