Paul Messinger 

Paul Messinger was my Boss
But more than that he is a Friend

He is a man that walks with GOD
You can feel HIS presence within

You always feel better after a visit with him
He always praises again and again

He lives by the Golden Rule
That’s what makes his life so true

What more could a man have asked
Then to have been so Very Blessed 

Your Dear Friend

Politics 

Politics is a Blessing if you're on  the right side
I guess it’s just the Opposite if you don’t see eye to eye

My question is where will it go after everything else is gone. 
I think I know but I may be wrong

It won’t be in Heaven that’s for sure
That leaves only one place for it to endure 

If it’s not Heaven it must be Hell
Politicians can use it where they might dwell

My Family 

We’ve got the best family in the world
They're always helping us with everything 

They don’t wait for special occasions 
To bring us meals

They drive us all around 
Even to downtown 

Birthdays are so very special 
They give us way more than we need

The grandkids are the best 
They never rest

Always coming to get Grandma’s cookies
With a big story to tell

Nothing could be better 
Then to live in South Carolina

My Doctor 

If you need a Doctor 
The one I’ve got is the one to have

He is kind and polite 
And seems very Bright

He takes time to explain 
All the things I don’t understand 

He checks my broken bones
He is Grand

His Assistant is very Thorough 
And makes you feel at Ease

They compliment each other
They complete their work with a breeze 

They are Angels. I’m sure it’s true 
Because of the kind of work they do

THE SPOT 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
There was an old story in our family
Don’t know if it’s true or not

Great Grandpa Percy
Used his yard for a Bank
They said where he put it he forgot

Never thought much about it
Till I got down on my luck 

Then I prayed to GOD
He would show me the Spot

Covid Vaccine 

Covid Vaccine there is much confusion 
It seems to be an illusion 

Is it good or bad
Is it from GOD above or the devil below 
Will, we ever know 

Since good things come from GOD
And bad things from the devil

I guess it’s up to you
To decide if it’s good or evil

CRYSTAL ONYX CAVE 

Crystal Onyx Cave is a Majestic Place to see
It remained undiscovered for thousands of years from you and me. 

Only when GOD was ready 
Would it be revealed 

It’s beauty to behold 
Brings forth its life unsealed

Seeing it brings awe to your soul 
Knowing GODS GREATEST WORKS  
Are there to behold

The Old #3 General

I was built in 1855
As sturdy as could be

I was strong and heavyweight
For whoever needed me

I could move people
I could move supplies 
I could move most anything in GOD’S eyes

It was not for me to decide 
What they used me for was right or wrong

It was only for me
To be very strong

I worked hard all day and night
Never a moment of fright

I did the best I could 
All day and all night

One day I got tired
New Engines had come along

I retired without a regret 
Still with a happy song

My whistle I still hear 
In echos of days gone by

Remembering the hardships 
without even a cry

I’m resting now
In the Southern Museum of Civil war
And Locomotive History

For all to see
And remember me

The moment of Mystery 
When I made History
