MY WOMAN
A woman is a goddess
Peaceful, loving and enchanted
Flying high above the sky
graceful as a butterfly.
her and the sky
watching the soft clouds go
floating by.
Through the clear blue sky.
Best of all she is free and
is loving with me.
Pressuring,pressuring she can be
She's a special person to see
So beautiful, so graceful, but
most of all
she's as peaceful as the deep blue sea.
Way down deep inside, we share.
I love her and she loves me
we seem never to part
Forever
Just her and me
And the peaceful deep blue sea.

A SOUTHERN DREAM
A southern dream is one to know
For sure you'll really see,
It takes your mind and pulls it deep
into a fantasy.
You stroll beneath the clear blue skies
Through gardens everywhere
A cool breeze blows the fragrance from
the flower in your hair.
A lady dressed in ballgown white
passes by your way,
Perhaps a beauty heaven sent
To Southern life today
In the back a mansion stands
Age has made it bleed,
But still it stands with dignity
To shelter those in need
When evening brings the hot sun down
Across the burnt orange sky
It,s one that makes your mind and soul
Seem to magnify.
You pass an oak tree old and bent
But dead it cannot be
For everything that's in the south
Lives eternally.
So ends your Southern paradise
The dreams you thought come true,
Though gone for now I'm sure there's more
Deep inside of you

BETWEEN THE LINES
Some days ago I got a letter
from a friend of many years
when I read the letter now
My eyes fill with troubled tears
She didn't complain of her way of life,
Of the luxuries she never had,
Or, how she alone had reared her family.
She never mentioned that her health was bad.
She told so many pleansantries
That had happened in her home,
Recalled the things we used to do
When we were very young.
she said she would like to see me;
Could I come and make it soon?
Perhaps she'd have to leave the valley
Maybe be the first of June.
Now when I read her letter,
As plain as plain can be
There etched between the lines
Are all the words I didn't see.
I hope she will forgive me.
And I pray so many times-
PLEASE,GOD, the next time I'm needed
Help me to read between the lines.

DEATH OF A LOVED ONE
Death came in on a black horse
And took my grandmother away,
Which caused me a lot of grief,
and pain of not seeig her in her in her
Rocking chair or hearing her voice
as she called my name.
And the hurt of knowing she will
never come back. but mostly; because I
wanted her back just so she could say
Good-bye. Before deathtook her away
for a long ride,which never stops.
But then I found out that the Pain's
permanant place was not in my heart
to stay . That it would leave when
I let go.

I ONCE DISCOVERED
I once discovered something new;
I really didn't know what to do.
It was a friendship we could share
But we would have to love and care.
We were like sisters from the start;
We loved each other deep in our hearts.
She was always my very best friend;
Until the day it had to end.
She was packed; I didn't know why
She said she was moving; I started to cry.
I will never forget the friendship we had.
It's just too bad it ended so sad.
