POEM DELETED

There's not much I can do
But I have a voice
And there are words I can say

Why do our leaders resent
What they should represent
Jesus and the Christian way

For Jesus outshines mohammed
Jesus outshines the sun in the sky
Jesus outshines the stars and the comets
And for his glory we should not be shy

Think of him often and every day
He came to represent a father who never lies
So please do not try to change,remove or compromise
Jesus and the Christian way

He was only going sixty as he headed down the highway
Sadly he looked in the mirror and saw his hair with more gray
Memories took over his mind and tears made his eyes a blur
He was only going sixty and starting to lose his nerve

As he came up the drive,the birthday party had begun
They all had planed such a great surprise
And he took out his sunglasses to cover over his eyes
He wanted no one to know he was missing someone

He was thinking of a lady from not so long ago
Then they placed candles on the cake and set them all a glow
And soon another year would come and sixty one would be heard
He was going sixty and starting to lose his nerve

Have I not served my time
Even though there was no crime
How much longer should this go on
I think I know what it means to be alone

Have I not missed her so
With no way to say it,how will she know
The way I felt from the start
I think I know what it means to have a broken heart

Have I not run out of words to rhyme
Love always wants just one more line
What happens on the day when I have none
I think I know what it means I'll still be the lonely one

Have I not tried to say goodbye
What is the word called when it falls from your eyes
Don't read this poem unless you can read my mind
I think I know what it means for love to have just one more line

Tired of feeling sad,tired of being lonely
But I got a prayer to lean on
What if you had one prayer to lean on
And one only

Blues are like a song of a river flowing slow
Blues are like a quiet telephone and I already know
No one is going to phone me

But I got a prayer to lean on
What if you had one prayer to lean on
And one only

Time is just a prop
That you hang on the wall
All that time has got is more time to stall,for the lonely

But I got a prayer to lean on
What if you had one prayer to lean on
And one only

I can write,but I can't take this pen and run
Like freedom wants me too
I can dream,but I can't be the one
Who's dreams will come true

I never was connected
I've always been alone
Hope has not been detected
And the young days are all gone

Stagger and stumble
And see a moment of light
Even thunder is not alone,for you can hear the rumble
And being alone is most awkward to write

Dawn will be tomorrow,dusk is near tonight
If one more line with fading ink
Could somehow fade my sorrow
Let not sorrow be the last words I write

Do I dare at my age talk of love
Should I dare at my age think of romance
Do I have just a tiny idea
I could even have half of a chance

Do I dare at my age look into her loving eyes
Should I dare at my age let her see
That I have no disguise

Life is not a fairy tale,not a movie show or a book
Perhaps I shouldn't dare I fear we both know
Really all she has to do is just take one look

So do I dare at my age talk of love
Should I dare at my age think of romance
Do I have just a tiny idea
I could even have half of a chance

Her loving eyes
I have no disguise
Do I dare

He was tired and they called him an old man
He moved slow and one day I heard someone call him Joe
They only knew him as Joe the old man

Down by the beach,his footsteps weak as he walked through the sand
And when seagulls would fly,no one could hear him cry
And no one knew the story about Joe the old man

Late one evening as I walked by the park
I guess you could say about the time of almost dark
I saw him near a hot dog stand

As I walked his way,in his lonely eyes I could see
what lonely could really be
I said hello and then I shook his hand

As you know time has a way of passing by
And when seagulls would fly,no one could hear him cry
He moved slow and one day I heard some one call him Joe
They only knew him as Joe the old man

Life is like a million photographs
Some were taken by your heart,as everyone can tell
Some made you cry and some made you laugh
Oh does that ring a bell

And no matter how many times you said goodbye
Isn't it good to know the kind of love
When memories never say farewell

Sometimes life is like a wishing well
A million wishes you have made
A few came true,a few have begun to fade
And some have touched your heart to pray,oh does that ring a bell

And no matter how many times you say goodbye
Isn't it good to know the kind of love
When memories never say farewell

Where are you,oh so bright said I to the moon
And the moon remained so very quiet, until
The whisper of moonbeams climbed over the hills

Oh there you are so bright said I to the moon
you have made this my favorite night
And the whisper of moonbeams slept for a moment in my room

I wanted to linger awake but sleep was the spell
Brought by the whisper of moonbeams
For now to whisper goodnight and farewell

Roses are red and violets are blue
Songs have a rhyme but mine never do
That's because I know I can never have you

And by the look on my face you will never know it
But I have the heart of a broken poet

Words and thoughts,they only get lost
In a lonely room upon a lonely wall
Where nothing at all,can ever grow

I would sing you a song
But love as a word has no way to show it
So goes the heart of a broken poet

When her eyes meet mine
I'm in a trance
Feels like love
But I don't have a chance

But anyway anyway anyway anyway
It feels like love

Another guy comes her way and now I can see
She's interested in him,not me

Yet it happens every time
Even if it's just a glance
When her eyes meet mine, feels like love
But I don't have a chance

But anyway anyway anyway anyway
It feels like love

I never know what to say
And the time has come and gone
And I'm all alone
Dreaming of this make believe romance

And it feels like love
And I don't have a chance

But anyway anyway anyway anyway
It feels like love
