No matter your station or position in life
A glimpse of sunshine relieved much strive
To see the sun, you have to open a window or move outside
You can't stay in a dark place and continue to hide
However, you feel you must strip away the dark and let the sunshine heal
This is not the truth as I say. Sometimes things have to be removed down to our core today
The truth may hurt for a short while
After leaving the baggage, you will begin to smile
With a lighter load and a spring in your step
The rays of sunshine will always land on your doorstep

Where does the honest truth lie
Will I find the answer before I die
The truth may be under the ground
If someone has died before they could expound
It's easy to find the truth on both sides
The absolute truth in the middle seems to hide
The unequivocal truth in the future will rear its head
It could very well be after we’re dead

A very dark day in America today
A former president is being arraigned in court I must say
All persons carrying high responsibility
Carry equally high accountability
However, this moment in history plays out
In the minds of Americans, there will always be doubt

Asian fat man enjoy to eat unhealthy junk food, hamburger, pizza, fried chicken
How much is too much, you might ask
when How much is too much, you might ask
when I feel uncomfortable performing a task.
Too much of anything is unhealthy for you.
The adage Everything in moderation is so true.
Even too much of a good thing is not beneficial for you.
We need to take more time to think things through.
It's human nature; the more you get, the more you want.
Controlling your emotions the less likely your decisions will come back to haunt
Calming your soul will relax your body
Making it less likely to have a toddy
The next time you get the urge to acquire more than you need
Bow your head, and for calmness, plead

Hand writing Accomplishment with marker, concept background
What would I like to accomplish in life
Not being sure, something with much less strife
Looking back, I have accomplished a fair amount
Looking ahead, there is much to take into account
The next question in front of me
What accomplishments will set me free
Physical ones make me proud to be who I am
Spiritual ones seem to bring me closer to the Great I Am
My thirst is quenched with cool water
My soul is satisfied with a touch from my Father
Both are important to sustain life
One is physical; one is spiritual
That continues beyond earthly life
The most satisfying accomplishment I have achieved
Is finding God's Son Jesus, in whom I have believed

Roger
I knew a guy named Roger
He was something to behold
He knew everyone he met
He had strength untold
He loved his family most of all
He would give them his all
His friends he kept close
The ones he loved most
As times goes on without him
We long to hear his voice
Only to realize He’s still with us
Helping us to make every choice

I have s friend named Todd
His greeting is always a friendly nod
His profession he is eager to explain
Serving as a policeman is not in vain
A better friend there could never be
As strong and sturdy as a Ponderosa tree
He is always willing to help his friends with every need
Even standing with you when your heart bleeds
The Book of Truth says a good friend is worth more than gold
For they can continue with you after this life, I know
That being true, and that being the case
Todd and I will see each other after this earthly race
Till that time comes hoping many miles down the road
We will continue laughing and caring, sharing each other's load

I dance almost every day
To make my troubled cares go away
One day I realized nothing earthly can remove my cares
Only turning to God my Maker loosens these fears
This does mean I shouldn't dance
I shouldn't leave the removal of my troubles to happenstance

Stick your nose in the Bible, not your neighbor's business
For this practice does not bring righteousness
Cast the first stone if you have done nothing wrong
For this will not make the spirit of any man strong
The Book of Truth says to Love your neighbor as yourself
That being True, I would not want someone talking about myself

Joh 21:22 Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me."
Dear Lord, please take what I pray and say
Mix it with your Love and return it to me today
That I may take your Love and pass it on
To the multitude that has not heard your song
My life is only made complete by singing your love song
