Don't have money, don't have fame,
But I have Jesus and I can call on His name....
His name gives me power, His name gives me strength,
His name gives me hope, His name gives me joy,
He fills me up with love, makes my cup overflow,
I know my Savior loves me
And I love Him so
Money makes you anxious,
Money makes you afraid
Whether you have a lot, a little
Or none at all
When you have it you cannot keep it
For you must pay bills
Big and small
Why chase behind it when...
With us it cannot go
In the grave we cannot spend nor count it
Trust me the love of it makes it our foe....
Money may buy nice things, a house, a car or land
It may make you look pretty
But it's all within a time span.
To keep them
You have to spend more and more,
Work harder than before
So let's all be contented
with what little we do have
The things of value
Can't really be stored in the bank
I thought you'd know that
For stocks crash and burn
Houses do too you know...
Why, 'twere not for the love of Jesus,
You probably wouldn't be you.
Spread a little joy, Share a big smile
Say hello to someone
You haven't in a while
Visit the sick today
They may not be here tomorrow
That way... you'd have no regrets to show
Share your bread in two
Great joy you will know
Walk with God daily
Sing a song of praise
Then your life shall be merry
Even when there is rain.

oh dearest
most treasured jewel
believing in
an angel
on the other
side of this world
touching deeply
love you are everything
the most powerful
feeling inside beauty
exploding within
one's mind
that heals
a lonely hearts
spiritually opening
a soul
embracing beautiful
the light
with love
bringing warmth
into a heart
in golden joy
of happiness
sun shinning paradise
walking through
the pearly gates
hand in hand
joining within heaven
in the split second
of a heartbeat
forever beautiful
i give you darling
one flower
handing it to you
with all my heart
pouring with love
my dream

true love
is hard
to find
blinding in every
essence of the word
turning up
side down
inside out
feelings flow
in warm
gentle emotions
uniting souls bond
together sparking
a bright light
from the sands
of time
in the lighthouse
of alexender
a starlight beauty
shimmering across
great oceans
floating within
the mind
one golden
beautiful dream

The red Indians have them
they worship them daily
so many different ones
each guiding and leading
to find your own guardian
you need to be very quiet
in a secluded place rest
close your eyes and drift
go deep then deeper still
inside yourself just wait
suddenly your guardian
will appear to you beckoning
still pause as sometimes
you will have two guardians
if so, very blessed are you
they will guide and watch over
help you also when they can
show you the right path
so when you hear that voice
listen to what it is saying
it is at its loudest when
you are in great peril
trust in your inner feelings
for they're sent by your guardians
to lead you to paradise on earth
no harm will come if you listen
follow what you learn from them
guardian spirits I hold out my hand

in the light of the holy spirit
god can I talk to you
from the setting sun
watching
I see you painting
fluffy mountains
so many shades of colour
upon the sky
looking at the trees
swaying gently
summer breeze softly
whispering
to the flowers
the master of light
smiling from
a golden paradise
I see you lord
everything in you perfect
as a birds flies by
teach me how to draw
from the dark caves
I never claimed
to be perfect
god believe me
I tried so hard
to misty mountains
an angel came
as the tears
rolled down my cheeks
who rescued me
pointing a direction
slowly I draw
my way out
beginning with
the colours of light
through a rainbow
everything around me
became so beautiful
I forgave
the past
with my own
past sins
finding peace
in love
a gentle heartbeat
with light
thank you
lord

My God, why's it so
As one year has passed by
Nothing new
Lot's of old, my reason is why!
What do they think
Why do they, impose
Brass in full clang
From the pew's they arose.
As the man pulls the rope
Over treetop, sound goe's
The call to the people
A gathering of soul.
Yet my grass has been tread
With like minded folk
Who take my concern
In their stride battered, joke.
May I please have your address
So upon I may park
A lot full of cars
They leave lines in full mark.
My God for a year
I've asked with a smile
Yellow tape, is up
Short in feet, not a mile.
I'm not real sure
Why you never complied
Your Priest asked you twice
While I only advised.
Perhaps you feel just
In your thought you display
Immunity in life
~Hmmmm, is that a learned way!?~

About this poem:
Sharing a situation that I have been dealing with for over a year on my property, I have had to put up yellow tape barricades across the front of my property to stop the church congregation from parking on my property. Now they are understanding where I,m coming from after asking in person, leaving notes and the Priest asking not to park on my front lawn, what finally got their attention was the yellow tape.

---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----When I was a child I was so amazed by the sky
Even now as a man I long for insight
How does the heavenly blue reveal infinite nights
I believe God placed each star with grace and design
Relative theorist concludes nothing is absolute
Some say truth is subjectivity and subjectivity is truth
One may even say we evolved from thin air
Failing to see a universe put together with care
How can we search for the beginning of something without end
Or discover perfect celestials that embody heaven
Not even irreducible complexity can explain eternal time
Because everything that was made was made of an intelligent design

When all is lost and you see no way
Out of the gutter of filthy despair
Don't feel ashamed to pray
wether you believe in something or not
You DON'T have to believe in anything to give it a shot
Nothing to lose in trying something new
Instead of pills and drugs and alcohol too
When you need time to understand
try meditation to see your inner "man"
There are no rules to the "inner" you
So why not open up a doorway and today try
Something new
Praying and Meditating are ancient things
Perhaps you could try these things out and
Find the Joy it brings
You haven't got anything to lose
Or have you?

As we vision, a Forest in the Night
First the Daylight, turns to Night
sometimes not knowing, how long till light
walk into a branch, with sudden fright
blinded by darkness, until we're freed
so many times, the storms of life, "Is Me"
feeling like a wet bird, wanting to dry
so i could spread my wings, like an Angel and Fly
Paths lead deeper, into the night
tho, loosing direction, in broad daylight
I cannot see, what tomorrow brings
living for today, as a running stream
Eyes are Tired, and Heart is Weak
My Hopes for Tomorrow, is on My knees
Black Outside, and in Despair!
living on Faith, that "You" are there!
Surrounded by Darkness, Forever it seems
a cast of Light, is all I Dream
a candle will do it, not asking much
hope and faith, starve my fears
tho I'm alone, "You" are Here!
has given me strength, through all my years
Its fall outside, and winters near
the leaves keep falling, without no Tears
Its getting Darker, and Colder indeed
The World we Live, Wont Look to See
so sad to feel, I walk alone
in Forests of Darkness, and "Not" Thy Throne!
Your Kingdom is Coming! But By "Surprise"
Soon we will know it, We'll see "The Light"
Daylight at Last, Our Lies and Skeemes
Standing Before, "Thy Great Redeemed"
"EYE TO EYE"

An appointment letter was handed over
Corporate battle hath begun in his life
Targets were assigned in tune with vision
Rivalry was visible in smiling faces
With greed and lust he started the labour
Nothing but victory was in his dreams
Lying and cunning was the order of the day
The sun has set on this gloomy day
He drank his cup of fancy dreams
Peace was not seen in the bank account
Solace was not felt in the diamond collection
The lee lang days hath taken it away
dusted with the misty clime
fed up with the faithless snaws
In the sandy beech, with a deep sigh filled
He lay, half mad, half filled, thirsty.....
Wanderin' in the cities, and jungles
Wanderin' in the mountains and rivers
Wanderin' in the villages and pubs
A rampant search hath begun for the lost solace
Unable to drench in happiness
Enabled by wrath of sadness
He decided to quit from this confused play...
Alas! a click he heard...the seeker was active
An inner song whispered thus#
'Oh! Divine..Iam beyond matter
Iam beyond manifestation
Evolve beyond your mind
Master your life force
Be the principle to nothingness.
Draw a sketch of your supramental force
Defects are a fundamental character
For it's human to earth
The stage of change would be slow
Strata of a semi divine would come at first
Embrace the change
and consume the force
Highest level of possibility
Would reach you soon'
A radiant smile glit up his face
Unanswered question props up again
'But what about the work that I do?'
'Do the work in holiness
Cease from work as well
conduct both with bliss supreme
The better was is this
Refrain not from the work assigned'
