Truth
Take a look and you will see,
A certain lack of honesty,
When people try to pass the buck,
Ignore the truth and pray for luck,
But, truth is never changing,
It won’t stand rearranging,
The test of truth is time and fidelity.
So go your way and I’ll go mine,
Think not of me I’m doing fine,
You’re the one who’s lost control,
You’ve given up your very soul.
Cause truth is never changing,
It won’t stand rearranging,
The test of truth is time and fidelity.
I hope before you pass away,
You’ll see the light that shines my way,
Truth is love and peace,
Truth is love and peace.
Cause, truth is never changing,
It won’t stand rearranging,
The test of truth is time and fidelity.
Yes, Truth is never changing,
It won’t stand rearranging,
The test of truth is time and fidelity.

The Window
We look out the window,
Wondering if & when,
We will see you,
Walking up again.
I don’t know what happened,
I don’t know why,
I do know the pain,
but am unable to cry.
The pain is deep,
it belongs to you,
Only you can fix it,
What you gonna do?
You have our prayers,
You have our love,
We hope & pray for a miracle,
from God above!

Our prayers were answered and the Miracle came in the spring of 2025. Praise God!
The Children are the Future
A generation strong, they rely upon,
The world and believe their teachers,
But, when honesty dies because of the lies,
Love is a dangerous creature.
When they come of age, in a violent rage,
It’s easy to say, “what a loser”,
But the truth will remain, facts never change, the children are the future.
Right or wrong, they travel along,
Desperate to find their own way,
And when they fall, It’s hard to recall,
Thing’s we didn’t do or say.
If we blind our eyes, when a child cries,
Who is really the loser?
Truth will remain, facts stay the same,
The children are the future.
Take a while, don’t lose the child,
They only take what you can give,
And if you’re aware, the love you share,
Can teach them how to live.
Don’t blind your eyes, never to realize,
Who is really the loser?
Cause the truth still remains, facts never change, the children are the future,
The children are always the future.

Daddy’s Girl
I remember
Butterfly’s and bugs
Kisses and hugs
Lizards and snakes and
Whatever it takes
To make a little girl smile
For just a little while
She was Daddy’s girl.
She is still Daddy’s girl!

Dreams
Believe in dreams,
Cause don’t you know,
If you don’t believe,
They’ll never be so,
They only fade when we lose hope,
This is something only we can choose,
And when we let our dreams fade off,
What a pity, we all lose.
Hold your dreamsand cherish them,
For they belong only to you,
Having them is better,
Than giving up and saying you’re through,
That’s why I’ll hang on,
And hope you do too,
This is a promise, I’ll never stray,
Don’t lose sight of your dreams,
And they’ll come true…Someday.
A dreamer is the ultimate realist.

Beyond Tears
I live beyond tears, faced with my fears,
That tomorrow could somehow be worse.
What did I do? What didn’t I do?
Or could it be I am cursed?
This hopeless feeling, is so revealing,
And felt to the depth of my soul.
Going out of my mind, can’t fix it this time, and feeling so out of control.
I am trying my best, my mind is at unrest,
Feeling hopeless, not sure what to do,
So hard to hear her say, day after day,
“All this pain, is caused, by you”.
She refuses to see,
It was her choices, not me,
That set all the wheels
To destructive deception,
She got angry and tired and
Her brain mis-fired,
She chose the wrong path and
The wrong direction.
I hope and I pray,
She will find her way,
To forgive herself and
Make better choices,
To save her soul and
Regain control,
And not listen to the
Evil demon voices!
