No One Goes

No one goes
Nor
Do they stay
In
An atmosphere of anger
Or
Decay. 

Everyone
Tries their best
Embracing
Joy
Happiness. 

I’m no different
I don’t want
To be
Floundering
In
Indifference
Squalor, insecurity. 

So
Let’s get together
Let’s join forces
We two – maybe three
Make
A difference. 

Create
Heaven
Here on earth 
Make it
A
Real majesty.

Wrath Of What Has Been

I’ve experienced the very wrath
Of what has come, has been
No remorse felt or regrets that last 
No happiness seen. 

Let me be away from this
Be and feel pure joy, pure bliss 
And that happiness 
That’s been evading me.

This I ask, beg and plead
Knowing it’s up to me to be
In that embrace, that love 
I want to feel and see.

Can’t See

Can’t see where I’m going 
nor
where I’ve been 
the road is rough 
too many bends 
for me.

Will I come
out to the open? 

See the path before me 
gently sloping
to a valley full of fun  
no sadness nor depression 
so deep. 

Hopefully 
this is what I’ll see
will be.

Holding Close, Holding Tight

Holding close, holding tight 
making it thru 
thru the dark, scary night

Tomorrow will be better
tomorrow I’ll see the light
leading to pleasure, happiness
and
all things of delight.

Time Gone Bye

I sit here and write 
Of a time gone bye 
Of a time when laughter 
Reached
Hit the sky. 

When smiles
Were all you needed 
To be 
To be happy and carefree. 

But that time has passed 
That time has gone 
The world is dark 
Sorrow 
Misery all around. 

Maybe tomorrow 
A time will come 
Full of laughter 
Happiness 
All good things to come. 

I will live there 
I will survive 
I will taste good times 
They’ll be mine once again 
Soon and in
The sweet bye and bye.

Sweet Sorrow in your passing Shirley
❤️ Rest in Peace dear Sister of Life ❤️

 

My Father Passed Away

My father passed away 
Passed away many years ago 
On this day. 

Memories are all I have 
Thoughts of yesterday 
Whether happiness, laughter 
Or crying in a most sadden way. 

My father was my saviour 
A man of strength 
I loved everyday. 

He had troubles
Complications like we all have 
As we travel thru our lives 
On our way. 

All this he overcame 
Becoming a beacon of light 
On my darkest days.

Heaven Drops

Heaven drops
from the sky
Raining
hope and happiness
Now
and into
the
bye and bye.

I Must

I must
reach for the best

I must
know that tenderness
will bring joy and happiness

I must
make my world turn
with kindness, not hate

I must
I must seek
search, participate.

You Have The Answer

You have the answer
You have the way
To bring joy and happiness
Into this world
Making a better place
Now and everyday.

No words of commitment
No promises uttered
In any way
Just moving forward
Taking each and every step
Accomplishing a better day.

I Am Feeling Down

I am feeling down and all alone
Feel my heart beat a lonesome tone
Crying, standing in the wake
Of not where I want to be.

Hoping the mists of sadness
Will disappear, leaving behind
A world bright and clear
Full of anticipation, happiness
Not this awful, nagging fear and sadness.
