Spend Your Time

When you go fishing with a friend
You will have had fun when the day
Comes to an end .
Do not over look life's small joys
While searching for the big ones .
When hunting for pheasants ,
Always keep your head up
And always be grateful for what is up above .
When you go for a run in the morning
Under the new rising sun ,
Think how free you feel today .
Spend your time and energy creating beautiful memories
Not criticizing things and people each day .

A Boost Up

I heard a song or two
That helps me think of you
I wish you were here just for me
But I know that it no longer can be
Sometimes my hopes let me down
I need a boost up to ride on your knee
Just one more time
Oh I wish I could hear you sing
Ave Maria if just for me
Oh Lord , I need a boost up please Lord
Help me today and every day lets sing together

Past And Future

You say you are nothing ,
But you are everything to me .
You always think of the past .
Did you know when you think of the past
You have to think of the future
And how lucky you are .
After all these years , you know
Things change with just a blink of an eye .
How many times have you blinked
Your beautiful eyes today ?

You have beautiful eyes you know .
You are special to me and the Lord every day .
Always look forward to the future
And never be afraid to open
The next door .

Little Girl To Mom

One night a little girl came into her mother's room .
The little girl was crying up a storm .
Her daddy had died a few days ago
And this was the first time that the little girl
Wanted to talk .


She asked mommy where is daddy now ?
The mother wiped away the tears away from the little girl's
Eyes and wiped her tears as well .
The mother held the little girl trying to think of something right to say.
She told the child that the greatest daddy of them all had gone to heaven .
The little child said with hope in her eyes ,
Where is heaven and can I go to ?

The mother with a frog in her throat said heaven is above the stars outside .
She said the stars are the bottom of heaven and each star
Is a window for daddies to always keep an eye on their children .
The little girl through for a time and said it must be great in heaven
If the bottom of heaven looks like this at night .
She said will I ever get to heaven ?
The mother said with love in her voice oh yes we will all
Be there with daddy someday.
Let us go to sleep tonight so daddy can sleep easy tonight.

Baby Emily

I will tell you a little lullaby .
I never want to see my baby girl cry .
When you wake from a bad dream ,
I will be there to hold that baby of mine .
I vow to love you through thick and thin .
I will give you laughter , when you are down ,
But I will also teach you right from wrong .

Baby since you are so young , I will kiss
The protuberance of your check bones
And keep away your tears .
I will worry about the protuberance of your breast
And hips when you get much older for you see
You will always be daddy's little girl , you see .
You have such wide spread eyes today .
I only hope you don't grow up to fast or realize
To fast how narrow minded and near-sighted the whole
World can be .

You are so young .
You are so devastatingly beautiful of a baby .
I will always be here to protect you no matter
How old you become .
You will always be my little girl .
I will try to keep you in the Winnie-the-pooh world ,
As long as I can for I love you so .
I will always pray that you will grow up and be happy
In this world I touched and nurtured for you .

I will always help you .
I hope we continue to be friends .
I hope we continue to be buddies .
I vow to always keep you happy , protected and loved
To the very end my little baby Emily .

Stronger

Nothing is stronger than tenderness
Nothing is stronger than hope
Nothing is stronger than the wings
Above you
Nothing is stronger than ones dreams
Nothing is stronger than friends
Nothing is stronger than to have heart
Nothing is stronger than laughter
Nothing is stronger than love
Nothing is stronger than a hug
Nothing is stronger than believing in the Lord

True Friends

When you call a friend at any hour
And they come right over ,
They do not first ask what is the problem ,
That is a true friend .
A true friend will tie your shoe ,
When you can not even bend over .
They will cut your meat
To help you eat .
You may be lucky to be related to them too .
They will take you places
You could not get to by yourself .
they will protect you at all cost ,
They help make your dreams come true .
I have true friends do you ?
To my true friends may God Bless
And thank you from the bottom of my heart .

Old Man

You are getting old , when you get up in the morning
And you feel like a rooster , that could not crow .
When you spend the day at the kitchen table ,
Looking out the window
And you hope a fly lands on the table
So that you can kill it with a fly swatter
Or if you are real energetic
You can try and kill the fly with your old rusty hammer ,
Boy ! you are old .

You are old , when you get on the phone just to talk to
The operator so you would have someone to talk to .
When your nights are spent watching TV , with the volume
At full blast , you are old .

When your vocabulary is made of negative words
And vulgar words and you use only a few good chosen statements
Like :
"What did you say "
"What did you say "
"Oh what the hell"

When you go to sleep at night , you put your teeth in a glass
Of water on top of your night stand .
The only thing that keeps you warm at night is a electric blanket .
How old are you ?
What did you say ?

After 40 years

Miller High School Hall Of Fame
Added Butch Cassidy and his hole in the wall
Gang of 72 in to their hall of fame .
After 40 years , they did not run at all.
There was no big bang from the big big Green Machine
The players all are let me say 1/2 inch shorter if not more .
The gang is still running and gunning
In a still special way their memories .
After 40 years the smoke has cleared .
They will go down in history as
One of the best basketball teams
Of South Dakota ever .
They were a family before the basketball game
It was just a game they played.
They played games of all kinds
They are a family even today
Coach Brock knows !!!!
After 40 years , they all tried to make free throws
But because of father time only one player made
The basket this night after 40 years .

In my memory , I still remember
The guy who shot a 44 just inside ,
A guy who shot a 22 from the wings ,
A guy who shot a 34 from were ever even from up on top ,
A guy who shot a 32 cal. gun from the boon docks
Who never missed
And a gut who shot a 40 cal. gun
Who liked to out jump them all .

Now after 40 years all the guns are rusty .
We will always have happy memories
Of the 72 basketball team
That was a special family
In every way.

With all that speed
And all those guns
And all that power
After 40 years
And all this time
Let us all take time to rest
So our memories can race
In our heads .

I Found My Home

I am all alone and I need you now .
Nobody can do your job
The way you know how .
God knows who I am always .
Something's make you swallow twice .
It is ok for the sun to catch you crying
Morning , noon or the moon at night .
You do not count how many times
You hit the floor ,
But how many times you get up
Off the floor .
My home has one main floor .
It has more doors than just one main door .
I like to say my father has
The door open for me .
My father is always with me .
The home I found is the church .

Pray

You never forget how to pray
You can pray in the morning
In the afternoon and at night
You can pray at anytime
You know he hears you
And he will come again
Don't worry about what you tell him
He hears you
He understands you
He watches over you
So be ready for thee
So pray for peace and love and happiness
In the world and for you and me

Enough Time

Enough Time

We never have enough time
Time keeps slipping away
Time can run fast and long
Sometimes it can craw along
There is no extra time at all
Because it will be a different time
With time you can make things better
The sun is in the west
It is time to rest
A moment in time
We never have enough time you see

Trouser Trout

These trout come in all sizes and shapes ,
Some as so small that you feel like you
Can squeeze them to smithereens .
There are some that are so large that
You can't get them inside a boat
For you are afraid the boat will sink !
When the right size of trout comes along ,
It is fun just to watch them dive in and out
Of the cold blue water ,
When you see the beautiful ones in and out
Of the water , their whole body is always
In a beautiful state of vibration
From their protuberance of their breast
To their hips to their toes !!

Sometimes when fishing fore these fish ,
You get hooked before you know it .
All you want to do is lay out
Under the sun and just have some fun .
The sun is about to go under
And you wonder , who has the reel ,
Because you have just swallowed the hook line and sinker .
The girl in the red trousers has you for life .
She will always have her teeth in you .
She will give you just so much line .
So if you want to go fishing tomorrow ,
Don't go for the trouser trout go for
The rainbow trout for you will have the reel and all the line
For these are the blue ribbon trout ,
When you go fishing tomorrow , don't get hooked
On a bucket for you never know what is in it !!!

Fantasy

The mental image of a fantasy is so colorful and so imaginable ,
That all you have to do is shut your eyes for a second and you
Can be were ever you want to be for hours .
The fantasy is always in your head .
It is never as true or real as when you wake up from your dream .
You can not hold a fantasy like holding a cold can of Michelob
Beer at two in the morning .
A fantasy can not be touched like a sensitive good night kiss .
In a fantasy nothing ever smells anything like a yellow daffodil .
Nothing is as true or real as when you wake up from your dream ,
But a fantasy always makes you feel good for you can keep
A fantasy in your heart for ever .

Lover's Fuel # 2

Don't ever forget your in-laws .
If you are going to have to sing in the shower
Make sure you sing " The Never Ending Song Of Love "
To your wife !
You two will have to put up with a lot of things .
Now lady remember after a rainy day your husband plus friend
Will have a rainbow over his shoulder .
Your husband should always remember after a bad day at the office
That you have a rainbow over your head and that you are a saint .
If you or your husband are sad you are sad , if you are happy
Your husband is happy .
There has to be some dreams and laughter along with sadness
In marriage .
Marriage is like a life time commitment .
You will have to put 100% into your marriage .
Marriage is a big elevator of emotion , what you put into it
You can get out of it .

Some night your wife will only let you ear a white straight jacket
And some night she will let you be Tarzan.
Never one of you should ever be afraid to be your self .

Never complain about the type of jeans you or your wife
Is wearing in the family .
Never complain about the ring in the tub in the bathroom
For it is to big for just one of you to wear .
Say boy , never forget to keep the lid down in the bathroom .
Say husband , always squeeze your charmin once a night after supper.
When doing the wash on Sat . your wife and you will have to ride
The Tide even if you don't like to do it .
Sometimes you will have to wash your hair with two pairs of hands
Johnson and Johnson just to get things out of your hair

Lover's Fuel

Lover's Fuel

When you get married and surely every day ,
After the blessed event you two will have to feed
Each other some lover's fuel .
You must remember once you are married you two
Are one not a duel .
There is a lot of things that makes lover's
Fuel burn continually .
You will have to take one day at a time for
Marriage is not always a colorful ride on a carrousel .
You two will have to believe in luck and something
Called magic .
When things go right , take the time to thank God .
When you want to do something and your partner plus
Friends comes back with give me a rain check ,
Don't get mad just say OK .

Start every morning with a kiss .
Never go to bed with fight in your eyes .
Never complain about the stockings hanging in the bathroom
For when they are are dry they go on the best legs
In town .
Each of you will have to set a side sometimes to spread
Each other's wings , for when you and your partner comes
Back home there will be more communication .
You two will also have to set sometimes to be alone together
Just to have some fun , like dancing and never worry about
Your mate just make sure you come home together .
Never be to busy to tell your wife how lovely she looks
And how much you love her .
For pete sake , never call her your old lady who - who .
Say , boy just remember your wife has to be a saint to put
Up with you .
Think things out before you do something stupid .

Bad Girl

A good girl goes to heaven .
A bad girl goes every where ,
If she is real bad , she might
Have her own brothel .
In her house it is salted with her friends .
The salt is never used on food !
When a john comes in more than coffee
Will percolate .
A john's appetite is always wetted by
Just looking at her .
She will always give you temporary satisfaction .
She will never use the word love .
She will whip away an 18 year olds childhood .
She'll take an old man and give him
His childhood back temporarily .
A bad girl's back never sees the light of day .
She runs a risky business .
She has so much to reveal .
All to have a good life on earth
For God will keep an eye on her forever
And the bad girl to but the good girl
Will for sure go to heaven .

By Brock

365

In the bible it is written
The words do not be afraid
It is spoken 365 times
If you tell someone
You love them 365 times a year
That is only once a day
When you read something
Or say something 365 times
It truly means something
So do not be afraid
And I love you always

The Runner

He who runs free as a spotted butterfly .
He who always has a kick at the end of his run
Like the sting of a bee .
He who never looks back like an owl in the night
For someone just might be running up his back .
He who runs like smooth stream running water
Yet has the strength of a lighting volt .

Truck Driver

Truck drivers always see the handy work of God by just looking
Out the wind shield .
They see the yellow sunrise over the Atlantic to the orange sunset
Over the pacific
They see the maple trees of Maine
To the grain fields of the Dakotas
To the potatoes of Idaho
To the apples of Washington
To the oak trees of California
To the beautiful birds that fly above the cape
To all the animals that loaf along side the truck
To the dry lands of Arizona
To the stars that brighten the plains of Kansas at night
To the majestic snow caped Rocky MTs of Colorado
To down and over the Mississippi river
And pass the rainbow trout streams
And over the pictorial Appalachian MTs of Virginia
And back to his home where people are kind
And were he is loved by his family and loved by God
For the truck driver always keeps an eye on God's handy work

Years Ago

Years ago we had morals
We had standards .
Today we have pencils
We have erasers .

By Brock

Time

We may have an ocean between us .
There may be mountains to climb .
There could be fences to cross ,
We could be on opposite sides of the rainbow .
We may have many obstacles between us .
But time is the longest thing between two places
And most of all between friends .

By Brock

Help

You tell me you need me .
Well, I need me,
You tell me you can help me to be happy ,
When I find me , I'll be truly happy .
You and I will then "both " be happy ,
Where it really counts .
We will truly have a splendid time
Under the apple tree just you and me .

By Brock

Go Darling Go

Tell me darling why are you shaking
Like a little beautiful apple tree in a tornado ?
Tell me why are you crying like there is no tomorrow ?
Do you have something to tell me that will hurt me ?
Your teeth are rattling like you have been lying
To me between your teeth .
Darling are you trying to be straight with me
now ?
I will listen and understand the best I can .
I will not promise you an ice cream cone .
I will not promise that you'll have a home .
I will only listen .
Do you want to tell me anything ?
Do you want to go any where for you have another show ?
If you have to go go now ?

Lost Love

When I think of a lost love , all I have to to is look
At a sunset .
When I see a brightly lit sunset hanging over a quiet
Still lake , I think of her smile .
When I am in a few row of trees hunting for some pheasants
And I look to the west , I feel as if you are playing
Hide and go seek with me .
When I look to the west some days , I see a bright red
Sunset and it looks so wicked that it reminds me of the fire
In her eyes when she was not happy .
The sunset is so far away and each day it changes its colors .
Maybe that is why I lost her out west , because she was
Not ready to settle down ?
I will always look to the west and to the sunset
And wonder if she will ever settle down as nicely
As the sun does some days !
I will not be able to hold a sunset , but I get to see
A new one every night and it will always be out west .

Be there with daddy someday.

An Angel

An angel does not always wear a white garment .
They have many beautiful complexions .
Angel never have any restrictions .
When you talk about angels , you never talk about
Age or sex or height or weight .
All an angel has to have is a pure beautiful soul .
You ask what is an angel's occupation ?
All angels do is pray for and love everyone ,
It seems angels can fly for they take themselves
Lightly , but don't let that fool you .

A Special Girl

She had chocolate colored eyes that could melt
Her dad's eyes .
She was the true queen of hearts .
When she smiled , her teeth were so white
That I knew her soul was pure .
When the sun sparkled in and out of her hair ,
Dad could always see her halo .
She always carried a rainbow and a passion flower with her .
Her spirit was always high as the farthest star .
She didn't have a chance to grow up for God came and got her .
Before it was her time , but oh was she a special little girl .

Hide One's Feelings

You can hide your feelings in your heart .
There are times you are vamping with your feet
And there is no music to be heard .
Late in thee afternoon some people will walk
Up and see you looking out the window pane .
They say you have made your home ,
But you always smile .

To me you are a young pussycat .
When ever I come over to see you , your always glad .
You never talk about your inner pain .
As a friend , I can see your trying to conceal
Your hurt feeling from me to , but all I
Have to do is look into your eyes .
I know you have troubles and worries ,
But I will always be here for you you see,
Because to me you are special .
You can not hide your feelings from a true friend .
