For You

I try to make the light

Of night a little brighter for you .

I have been there that is why

I am here for you .

I got your back .

I got your 6 do you know what I mean ?

Way out there is a beautiful place

It’s always for you .

Had a long night until early morning

But I am always here for you .

The Biggest Thing

The big thing I ever paid for was a car .

The biggest thing I ever got was a house .

The biggest thing I have is the ability to go far ,

In my dreams .

It dose not cost a dime .

The big thing I hope to get in  time

Is respect .

The biggest thing over all and the thing

I may need almost every day

That does not cost a dime or one penny 

Is a hug from you almost every day

And you don’t ask why big guy .

Winding Road

The old winding road

That takes me home .

The road has  curves

And straight a ways .

On the way home,

I ‘m always in a hurry .

If I drove on a sunny day ,

I may be lucky

To see a bald eagle sitting high

On  a big stack of hay .

That would make my day .

The wind always blows

And doubt always flies in the wind .

I should take my time driving ,

On the old winding road

And take advantage of what I may see .

I will get home eventually .

The Grand Scheme

 

God has the grand scheme  .

Parents hope their grand scheme

Will bring their children peace

And tranquility  .

We work at it every day

As parents and for those days

That seem harder than others

What should we do ?

Some parents go to their parents

For advise .

It seems the main thing to to is pray

To God .

Pray to God your own special way

And never give up on your grand scheme .

Remember God has his own scheme

And he has been praying

For all of us from the beginning

As God does and we should always do

And that is pray for peace and tranquility

Until we see him at the end of his grand scheme .

My Dad

He taught me right from wrong .

He always said I should be seen

Not heard .

I guess , he knew me before I knew me !

When I was at my lowest ,

He would talk to me

And carry me to a better place  .

He had big blue eyes

And strong hands .

If I ever did anything wrong ,

He could just look at me

And make me cry .

If I had any question

Of what I could do ,

He would take my hand

And would say

Yes you can .

He believed in  me .

He was mine for just a while .

He is and always will be

My hero .

My dad !

Cherish your heritage ,

Cherish the ticking of the clock

And the time we have ,

Cherish everyone’s kindness ,

Your surroundings ,

Your religion ,

Your feelings ,

Your friends ,

Your body ,

And life

Cherish all the people and things

Around you every day .

Cherish is the word cherish .

A Fairy Tale

To help get your kids

To read and dream

Read fairy tales to them .

They are more than stories .

There is always hope in them .

The imagination in a child’s mind is endless

It takes them any where .

A child needs to know

Anything is possible  .

There is magic all you have to do is believe .

It does not matter the age ,

There has to be a push

To reach their dreams

And to make them come true .

Read one fairy tale a day

To a child is what you should do .

Fishing At Dawn

At the crack of dawn

You will never know

What you will find or see .

When you are in a boat

At day break

On a beautiful lake ,

You will see the sun

Peaking through the trees

Along the bank

As the time goes by ,

If you look way up high

You will not believe what you see .

The heavenly colors of the clouds

How they changed with the help

Of the sun and  its light .

The water is as clear as glass .

We are fishing for the big one .

We are on a journey to have a great day

In early spring .

The fish are here let us have some fun

With what is all around us .

My Uncle’s Birthday

When I think of you ,

It is more than on your birthday.

I think of a man with ,

Well let me count the ways .

You are a man with honor , a special touch ,

Empathy and humbleness  .

A man that is strong yet cheerful .

When I think of you ,

I think of  family  ,

Faith , peace , a heart of gold

A man that has my respect  ,

A man of love , hope and soft hands ,

A man of simplicity , joy , calmness .

You have a special charm  .

You have the special artistry to be a man,

A father , husband , an uncle , and a God Father .

I wish , I could be more like you

But I don’t listen like you,

But I sure try to .

I have selective hearing just like you !!!!!!

My Love

You are my rainbow over my shoulder .

When we go out together ,

Everyone gathers around her,

But the lady comes home with me .

She gives the best of her love to me .

She always looks great .

She wears those sexy things  .

She improves every room

She walks into .

She likes to play with a smile on her face

But she always wants to win .

She understands me .

She always shows me the right step to take .

She always has her cell phone on

But she is on top of me list

Morning noon or night .

She is everything to me .

Do you know how many minutes

It takes me to tell her I love her ?

At night she will say I love you too .

Lets kiss and go to sleep and dream

About tomorrow and see what we can do together .

Grandma’s Rocking Chair

Grandma’s rocking chair is empty these days

But I have the memories .

She would pull it out into the middle of her living room ,

 

As the world turns .

I would sit in her special cradle

As she watched TV and put me to sleep .

As I got older

I would sit on her lap .

I knew I could tell her anything  .

 

When I was sad

She would bring me light .

She would teach me what matters most .

She lead me to be thankful for the gift of faith .

 

She would rock in her chair

Until she died

And her rosary  was in her hand always .

She would say the rosary more than once a day  .

 

I carry my rosary with me every day

Just like my father did

And just like my grandma did .

I say the rosary when I can .

Yes I can

Dad and Grandma and God know .

They know I have grandma’s rocking chair

To help me make it through any day .

We never have to ride two a breast ,

First Spring Rose

The first rose I see in the spring

It sticks out to me with her short neck

As a new beginning .

It comes through the hard frozen

Winter grown with snow all around

I can see the first spring rose coming

Up with her short neck  .

As time goes by in the spring ,

I will see my first spring rose grow

Way above the weeds

How many more roses 

Will I see ?

Spring Fever

         

The time of year when everything

Is new again ,

When old friends become brand new ,

When new friends become old friends  ,

It is when all friends in the spring

Become the flowers in the garden  .

We will watch together as everything grows  .

The time of year when spring training

Brings baseball to life with the swing of things ,

When its more than 1-2-3 strikes and your out .

No body is truly out in the spring  ,

Because we all have hope and spring fever again .

The time of year when we go fishing

And try to get the little short wall eye name Joe

That we let go last spring .

Maybe this spring we will get lucky getting big Joe

With spring fever who knows .
