I will always love you,
forever and a day.
I will always be true to you,
in each and every way.
I will always cherish your love,
and hold it in my heart.
We will always be together,
until death do us part.

Note Of Contempt

Quietly returning home after a night of heavy booze
shoeless, so not to disturb her from her needy snooze,
tiptoeing softly to the bed I thought I had gone blind
but as hard as I looked, no wife there could I find!
Puzzled in my drunken head I could not understand
until on the kitchen fridge written in her neat hand
I found a note, that to me didn't make any sense,
giggling at first, thinking it was surely in pretence.
Then slowly as I read it I realised it might be true,
"Im sorry I couldn't wait my dear, but I've left you
your supper is in the microwave, just press the button
oh by the way you were like a lamb dressed as mutton
as you went to meet your cronies on the way out to play
well, it's my turn so goodbye, cheerio, I'm on my way!"

Now I think of our good times as I lie in my single bed
I regret I never kept the promises, I once sincerely said!
I'm sure all you bossy women who read this feel so glad
to know that I've ended up alone in my one room pad!
I will admit one thing though, I feel such a bloody fool,
with almost all I need, I've no fridge to keep my ale cool!

Created at birth with no knowledge or sense of discrimination.
Harbored by parents with love for safety and protection.
Options are life's practice that form who we are to be.
Identity is the results of those sections for all to see.
Careful thought, at times, can cause a rough and difficult path.
Endure, understand these as practice and cause no wrath.
Satisfaction comes to those who these words persue.
! Live this thought and your children will surely ensue.

Come travel with me and journey into the past
As I walk in the moccasin of my ancestors
Hear the echo’s of the voices that cry out in the night
As an awaking spreads across the land
Hear the sound of there anguish pain
There chanting as they walked the trail of tears
Feel the sharp rocks rip at the soles of there feet
Feel the hunger the sorrow the pain
On the horizon of many moons
For this path of death will never be forgotten
The cries of my ancestors shall live on
As the moon reflects its self on the flowing water
And the mountains forever hold there secrets
In the darkness of the night
A lone wolf answers the call of the wild
Forever reminding us of the trail of tears

A CANDLE BURNS
Mitacha with your eyes so green
Your hair as black as the raven’s wings
Heart is as cold as the freezing rain
You now are lost to the devil’s game
We shared a dream but it didn’t last
Like the wine and roses in the past
You’re flying high and chasing dreams
You’re running wild in a shallow stream
You’ll ride this storm through the dead of night
For your flying high on DRUGS to night
Tomorrow you’ll find you’ll all alone
You’ll have no place that you call home
The fire will burn and the scars will show
Within the dark your blood shall flow
Taking your mind your body and soul
LUCIFER WINS HE NOW HAS CONTROL
Please say no to drugs

Iwas punished for my sincere love
With a knife in my heart
My heart bleeds so much
I can't stop it.

I was punished for my sincerity
With maany lies and dreams without reasons
Witha message which made me feel a clown
A clown of u enjoy with my true feelngs.

I was punished because I belived
Still exists someone sincere
But he wakes me up with a slap
Of his words on my face.

The Canadian Geese
As the wild geese migrate back to the great north
To nest and have there young
The sky over head is filled with a wonders sight
It’s as if God has put them on display for all to see
Its breath taking and amazing to watch them in flight
Flying in a formation that only they understand
They fill the sky with there beauty and grace
There wings can spread as far as five feet
And they can fly at an altitude of a thousand feet
As I sit and watch them a smile comes to my face
How lucky I am each year in the spring
To see my beautiful great feathered friends
I know ill be watching for them in the fall
When they fly back south at the first fall of snow


I have been watching them for
More than 40 years
Thank you God for such a wonderful gift

Betrayal
Dreams now shattered pain is with in
Years of anger mistrust and betrayal
Tormented and beaten forgotten denied
Drugs and additions so many lies

The pain I knew I had to endure
To keep my self living I knew this for sure
The violence the rage ill take to my grave
To save my child I now must be brave

With the birth of a child life should begins
This love so precious that lies deep with in
Gave me the courage the strength and the will
To keep my child safe from this demons from hell

Listen to you child

Have you ever stopped to listen?
To what your child has too say
Or are you always just to busy
That’s why they run away
They go in search of friendship
Where some one takes the time
To listen to their inner thoughts
And what is on their minds
What if the path they travel?
Is the path to drugs and death?
Will you then have the time to listen?
When you lay them within the earth to rest
So why not take the time
From your oh so busy day
And sit and listen as to
What your child would like to say

Twenty twenty in hindsight
Overrated perhaps
Was the means that day
Did what I did hastily.

Into a recessed corner stood I
Feared decision made
Momentary gain
With shadowed pain of sacrificial loss.

Imagine the dice in a toss,
Induced regrettable cost
Often to win
You've lost!
