Love is forever and ever...

Love is forever and ever;  and it shouldn't ever ever die
It brings out the world of goodness from morning unto nigh
It gives to the sparkling diamond the power of an "I do"
And can lift the brokenhearted, into wholeness, it is true

We mustn't be afraid to say it..or  to show it along the way
For love is a powerful action: it can brighten up the darkest day
It is there for the beautiful couples.. for the families and the friend
It is that miraculous component that can enable us to truly blend

Wouldn't you be willing to carry it..to every single place that you go
So that, everyone, that you may encounter; could notice its beautiful glow
It will come out in the simplest of gestures of kindness and of care
There won't be any need for any introductions.. everyone will know it's there

Be you, therefore, that ambassador.. of kindness and of endless love
Tell the world about its remedy that we are all so sorely in need of
It isn't too costly or too unique that we can't find it to give it away
No love is that part of our being that makes us like God in every way

(1 Corinthins 13: 1-7)

1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

What's wrong with us

Wreckless shooters all around..
Flying bullets start to sound
Bodies falling one by one
Who will stop the loaded gun

Hard to believe a festive day
Was so interrupted..taken away
By the greediest bitterness
Of one who was bent on destructiveness

Stop this madness stop the hate
Healing's needed before too late
All are fighting and all are ill
Something's happening.. it's surreal

Who's the culprit..who's to blame
For all this cancerous growing flame
Mass destruction.. raging war
Angry gunmen.. bloody floor..

Don't pretend to be my friend.....

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel..

I am not looking for any handouts in the line of extra friends
I'm only seeking  connections that are here without pretense.
I'm not another write off  for someone's  list of things to do.
But I'm  someone truly valuable in the right setting it is true..

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel. 

You really must be cautious in the words you choose to say
The way you seem to express them gives your intentions all away
The motives and the reasons and the authenticity or not
Comes out in all you're saying: it's obvious what you've brought...

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel..

I rather be a loner than have a friendship that's untrue
Don't come to me with sweetness if that's  not a part of you
I'd rather someone who is crazy and authentically a fool
Than be on someone's bucket list they feel they have to do....

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel..

Morning muses

Take some time to breathe slowly and listen the wind
Slow down what you are doing...I am asking you again
So much ..you have been missing..and so much  you can lose
The energy around you .. is something you can choose

Look out of your window and see everything that's there:
The sky up above you ..and the gently moving air
The creatures who are seeking and looking for some food
Everything around is saying: Life is really good

Temptations might be taunting and moving you to be sad..
Creating for you images that make everything look bad
But, you have it inside you .. the spirit of our God
You can disperse all of these robbers with one single nod

Don't let daytime escape you without enjoying what's  there
Or night time overtake you without entering into prayer
You are spirit and body and need a balance for the two
Nothing is more fulfilling then a Godly life..it is true..

Go now..and be there.

Are you so tired..upset and weary
Over all the nonsense..you've been hearing.
What do you do now.. where should you go
There is, but, one place.. you should know

It is the heart of, One, Who's knowing
All that the media has been showing
It is  that Place where: all is healing
Go now and be there: you'll love that feeling

Have you been searching ..and looking around
For something fulfilling.. but..it can't be found
Perhaps you're going where you can't receive..
Turn off  that noise now ..and simply breathe..

It is the heart of, One, Who's knowing
All that the media has been showing
It is  that Place where: all is healing
Go now and be there: you'll love that feeling

You're feeling abandoned like no one knows you
You're wanting to be part of something ..it's true
But,  you keep on trying, at things that will falter
Only one thing is needed ..and it isn't an altar..

It is the heart of, One, Who's knowing
All that the media has been showing
It is  that Place where: all is healing
Go now and be there: you'll love that feeling

And we wonder what is happening?

Slow down for a little while do you really need to rush
Your feet are always running ...you're getting out of touch
I hardly ever get to see you and I hardly ever hear you say
Let's get together for a little outing or spend some time today...

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team

The other day we were talking .. the two of us... we were
A ping lit up your cell phone; you became distracted..it's for sure
Before you knew it,  we were changing: no longer having the time
Consumed with all of the have to's . togetherness was hard to bind.

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team

The number of breakups is  mounting in the good ole USA
Divorce and non commitments are so prevalent today
Our people are no longer stopping or taking the time they need
To keep their families united..or to squash out personal greed..

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team

The remedy, is so very easy for all this madness, that's everywhere
We need to take some moments and tell some people that we really care
We need to shut down  our cell phones and our computers when we meet
There isn't any other solution .. .this one we cannot beat..

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team
