Dear Heart
If I could have another life
I hope I'd find you there
Perhaps the love would then be right
And you'll be my answered prayer.
If I could have another life
You know that I will do my best
To reach for you and set my sight
With you, I know my heart will rest.
But life comes only once and then
All that remains is emptiness
My love has died and never given
A chance for it to gain happiness.
What matters now in eternity
Without you all is darkened pain
There is no dawn of hope to see
Your love, my dear heart, once again.

At Least We Had Loved
To have loved someone
In the brevity of Time
And to be loved in return
Is true Happiness sublime.
In my life I was blessed
To have had you to love
And to know that you loved me
Is my gift from above.
For it is the better part
Of this finite existence
A real blessing for our hearts
Separated by distance.
And I'm thankful each day
In my life I found you
For some just die away
Without a love that is true.

Buried Treasure
You are not gone for I have you
In my heart's treasured memory
Where even Time cannot subdue
Love that was eternally free..
No changing seasons will fly past
No summer, fall, or cold winter
Will ever touch, my love will last
For its own spring remains forever.
I have you here and you are mine
The treasure sealed and sea-buried
There is no key, no cabled line
And the anchor there, all but rusted.
No hope for it to be uncovered
Unearthed, revealed, again displayed-
Yes, I have you to be remembered
And a heart of gold for you there laid.

Just When I needed You
Was it the twist of Fate
Or a wink of Destiny
Or the humor of fleeting Chance
That Love brought you to me?
It was a time of sadness
And this heart had so much pain
But you came and filled it with gladness
Yes, to love again was not in vain.
The second Love they say is best
Now I believe that is really true
And all my hurts were put to rest
For you came... just when I needed you!
I love you and thank you!

To Hope is life's necessity
To dream is Freedom sought,
Each day is Opportunity

To Love is truly caring
Affection pure and good
And Faith in God believing
His Grace is spirit food.
To try again is Courage
And to work is Dignity

A Love Letter
Hello, I hope that you are well
Since we said our last goodbye
I miss you so much, you can tell
I have not forgotten, though I try.
Things have not changed, that is true
And though you have moved on today
My love remains, nothing I can do
It always shows, no matter what I say.
So you have someone else - it's alright.
Letting you go is really for the best.
To hold on to you- yes, I have no right
To leave you is to give myself due rest.
So Dearest, take care and be happy
I have memories when you were mine,
I just wrote this short note to sincerely
Wish you the best...Happy Valentine!

For John and Wayne
We all had past regrets
But take a moment's pause
The pain we must forget
And the scars these may have caused.
With hope, we move on forward
Unhindered by those hurts,
For the future holds rewards
And ways to regain self-worth.
Each passing day is ours
A chance to win our battles-
Though with age, Time's quickening hours
May soon take us out of the hurdle.
As a friend and a fellow soldier
We hold friendship in the battle of life
With our God and with all our prayers
We'll find victory through all the strife!

His Treasured Possessions
Even in darkness
Light dawns for the upright
Though there be sadness
Hope is not far from sight.
The rivers may rage;
The waters may swallow,
'Be of good courage'
His Word told you so.
In your emptiness
Hear well and be still -
Trust in His Kindness
Believe in His good Will.
For the God Who called you
He can never lie,
We're His Treasured Possessions
And that is YOU and I.

A Kind of Love Not Needed
Flickering shadows
Memories of the past
Gray tomorrows
Promises do not last
Fading words you said
Leave sad empty feelings
The Love I gave not needed
Had led to our parting
Regrets may come too late
And reality is now here
The heart must face its fate
With goodbye... falls the tear.

Ink Bottle of Life
The pain and sorrows in life's hurdle
Are all contained in bottled record.
For our Experience is the ink bottle
Where the dipped pen draws many words.
The souce of writers' inspirations
From it the passion ink flows through
To weave the lines and compositions
Of life and loves that we once knew.
'He who pursues righteousness and love, finds life, prosperity, and honor.'
Proverbs 21: 21

Brokenness
Unless the grain of wheat
Falls to the ground and dies
Change won't be complete
Because from there, a new growth lies.
Unless a man be broken
And shed off from his old Self
Molding cannot be given
On the jar there on Life's shelf.
On the clay there must be a crushing
For the new jar to be molded
There must be renewed pounding
For the metal to be welded.
New life can never sprout
From the seed that remains whole
And fruit cannot come out
Without brokenness of Soul.
'My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.'

Remnants
Agonizing memories
Afflict the crushed, saddened soul
Fleeting thoughts of intimacies,
Shades of love no longer whole.
Those sweet fragances and scents -
With soft music, their own song,
Witness now that love is absent,
Tell her where she once belonged.
Letters left are now tear-stained
Photographs like ghosts of past,
Remains of a heart deeply pained
Remnants of a love that was.

Faithfulness
When someone whom you love
Does the same rash things you do
And so you feel a similar pain
In life, that is equality... and true.
For words and actions done or said
Mean nothing substantially concrete,
Unless one swears upon all dead
With faithfulness, seals Love complete.
Cherish the love you have that's rare
Love is a gold coin you spend only once
Foolish games and times you're unfair
May later forfeit your one last chance.

A Writer's Prayer
In my nothingness, be glorified
For everything I have all come from You,
Remove the dross and foolish pride
With grace, bless everything I do.
Guide my writing with Your Light
Your Words of Truth inspire me,
May all that comes from pen be right
That all men come to see.
Bless the words with Your great Power
A wondrous working from above,
For You, oh God, made me a writer
Declare the hope of Your Mercy and Love!
'The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
turning a man from the snares of death.'
Proverbs 14: 27
'I have come that they may have Life, and have it to the full.'

For My Brother Robert
MY BROTHER ROBERT
February 25,2009
God blessed your life, we know He did.
Your hopes and dreams were all fulfilled.
You did your best and gave your all,
And with honest work, you stood tall.
You loved with all your heart and life,
Your children and your faithful wife.
The best, a husband you had been,
And an even best father, we all have seen.
Now that you're fighting your last battle,
I pray God hold you in this hurdle.
Each day your strength has ebbed away,
But may He comfort you today.
May God in His great loving kindness,
Ease your pain, with mercy bless-
Your life and soul held here and after,
Embraced eternal by God our Father.
I love my dear brother.

Just One Wish
I have but one wish and it is this:
That a ship of dreams will one day take me
To where you are and there to kiss
Each other in love, so affectionately.
To finally gaze in your loving eyes
To hold you in a sweet tender embrace
And to feel my heartbeat suddenly rise
As I see the love shown there in your face.
I have this one wish and I hope it's granted
That together we will be and remain that way,
There's nothing in this world I have ever wanted
Than to be with you Dearest, for all my days!

A Heart After God
A heart that looks at God above
Is always filled within
By the purest color of His love
And not by the shallowness of skin.
A heart that dwells with God all day
Has room there for His Word to keep
It always beats in Love to pray
And give to Him all due worship.
A heart that rests in God will be
In comfort filled with inner Peace
Its songs of Joy eternally
Flow from the Presence that is His.
A heart that hopes in God endures
Times of loss, or tears, or strife.
It knows His promises are sure
Here in this world and after life.
'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future.' (Jeremiah 29: 11)

Life's Golden Nuggets
A friendly word that sparks a little hope
A hand to hold when on the downward slope
Care and love expressed in warm embrace
Makes light the obstacles in life one has to face
Someone there to listen and to share
When times are dark and all seems so unfair
To stand together in sun and sometimes rain
A shoulder there to cry on when there is pain
Yes, Life's golden little nuggets do not come
In bars of gold, but in small things their worth become.

High School
High school days used to be fun
With friends and crushes and all
But now the teacher fires a gun
And shoots at will without a call.
High school now is never the same
Gangs and drugs proliferate
Life and future are just some game
Kids play and lose at a growing rate.

Jesus Our Victory
Search no more in human wisdom
Nor live in wasted emptiness
For when to Jesus you would come
In Him alone, is Happiness.
His Love and Mercy you'll receive
The gift He paid for on the Cross
Just call to Him, in faith believe
He heals your pain, your hurts, your loss.
Yes, He alone rose from the dead
In Power showed His Victory
On death, He is the Living Bread
The One Who reigns through eternity!
He comes to all who would receive Him
His Gift of Life, Salvation free
Light of the world in darkness dim
Prince of Peace, our Jubilee!
'Then Jesus declared, 'I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never be thirsty.'
(John 6: 35)
'I am the Light of the World.' (John 9: 5b)
'Jesus said to her, 'I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies...' (John 11: 25)

The Answer
When life seems lost and oh, so empty
And all that's left is hopelessness
When even Love turns cold and dreary
And ever elusive is Happiness
There is a way, in faith believe
That He will always hear your prayer
The peace for sure you will receive
Christ Jesus is the only Answer.
He is the Way, the Truth, the Life
You will be made a new creation
He is our victory in strife
In Him alone is there Salvation!
