Wisdom

 

I talked to a woman a while ago,
A hundred and three; “So what do you know?”
“What is your ‘key’?  We’d all love to hear?”
“Most want to live long, so what do your fear?”

 

“I lived on a farm with Mother and Dad,”
“I was the fifth child in nine that they had,”
“We all had our jobs; we all pulled our weight,”
“At night we would gather for dinner at eight.”

 

“Some pulled the weeds, and some milked the cows,”
“Some helped my mother as Dad worked the plows,”
“We all helped each other to get through the day”
“Another day living was our only pay.”

 

“But, one thing I’ll tell you as I’ve lived my life,”
“I loved every moment of being a wife”,
“The key to long life I learned on the farm”,
“Just pray for a thing, and that is our charm!”

When I See Your Face

 

When I see your face,
All the world is right with me,
All within the sight of me,
Has spun to outer space.

 

When I see your smile,
Every moment so carefree,
Every moment; ecstasy,
Please, lay with me awhile.

 

When I see your eyes,
You see mine, and time will cease,
You see; I see love increase,
A lover’s paradise!

Scandals

A scandal, a scandal, a scandalous time,
Is it just a scandal or is it a crime?
“We know that it’s not,” say the people in power,
But, those that are not say “This is a sad hour.”

The Recrats and Depubs all scramble around,
With their nose to the ground like a likeable hound,
And, they diss, and they squabble all over the news,
With memory loss, or “I will recuse”.

Yet, Christ still is here to change all our hearts,
No leader or law or party imparts,
He shook up the system we started one day,
But, we love our power; we want it our way!

Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain

 

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,
So much to drive a man insane,
And, now my nerves begin to fizzl’,
With finest mists, and bits of drizzl’.

 

The farmers now would like to sow,
And, see Your lustrous big rainbow,
Today sun shines; the skies not dark,
We may not have to build an ark!
