I Want To Be Left Alone

I cherish my time by my self .

I need time to get my thoughts together .

I need time to dream .

I want my wishes to come true .

I want quiet time .

I need private time to talk

To you know who

The man up stairs.

I did not say

I wanted to be alone

But left alone.

I Pray

I can pray in the day time .

I can pray in the night .

I can pray when I am sad .

I can pray when I am happy .

I can pray indoors .

I can pray outdoors .

I can pray in a storm .

I can pray on a sunny day .

I can pray at work .

I can pray when I play .

I can pray while hunting or fishing .

I can pray when I run .

I can pray when I am worried .

I can pray any time .

For God is always with me .

What A Night

I sit outside tonight

I look up at the stars .

Why is it that the stars

In the sky are floating

In the sky tonight ?

There is a buzzing inside my head.

When in the world is it going to end ?

I’m trying to keep an eye on the storm .

I may be waking up to a stormy morning .

I wish things went back to simple and easy again ,

But were they back then ?

I don’t think so ,

But I can dream .

I need some green tea .

It is good for my inners .

I don’t need noise

Not even TV.

I need sleep , maybe it will be

Better when I get up .

Well I can dream ,

But first I need to just get more sleep .

I Hitched A Ride With Dad

First, dad would hold me in his arms .

He would dance with me as he sang to me .

He was always using the right key to get me to sleep .

As I got older ,

I hitched a ride on dad’s knee .

We would ride into the sunset .

Together we would laugh so hard

That mom would say

From time to time no more.

Dad would say ok

Until tomorrow night .

As I got older ,

Dad and I would go for a ride

In his pickup called Old Faithful

Because dad could always get Old Faithful going  .

I would get to sit on his lap

And drive Old Faithful out into the country .

And  go see Tiley dad’s horse .

We would go for a ride together.

Dad riding Tiley  sitting on the big horn saddle .

I got to sit around the big horn !!

I would try to keep my 2 hands on the horn

But dad his one big arm around me

So I would be safe  .

We would ride as one .

We would sing Black Bird .

Oh I still have these early memories

Of hitching rides with daddy.

Living Today

We are living today ,

What we worried about yesterday .

Don’t let your heart be troubled .

Worry and  anxiety can consume  our lives

Preventing us from seeing love

Which surrounds us .

When we are together ,

We are stronger .

We all can build on hope .

Do we have to ask to care ?

We have the courage to care and to pray

And the strength to help and love

Every living day .

Going With My Uncle

There is never a time I did not

Want to go with my uncle .

He was more than my mediator .

He was my teacher .

We would go fishing once in a while

But not enough for me .

One last thing we talked about was going fishing ,

But he went with out me that hurts me a little even these days

When I think about it .

I lost more than the fish that I may have gotten a way from me .

He will not tell me how to reel them in any time soon .

 

When we traveled together ,

He always had to drive  .

He would always talk about what he did

And how he did it years ago and he always knew

How many miles it was from here to there !

He knew the price of land  as we drove down the road  !

He would always point special things out to me .

He was never lost .

 

I had an older uncle  , who knew it all

All you had to do is ask him !

He would tell his little brother

he was wrong from time to time !

 

I learned a lot from my uncles

Just ask any of them  !

Tiny and I had fun fishing

And hunting for pheasants

And cleaning them birds !

It was a true fun way of learning

From the master of everything .

We would eat chicken on the way home .

I wish , I was going with uncle Tiny today .

Well I will have my everlasting memories

Of my uncle Tiny .

He was more than tiny in my eyes .

For A Child

When you have a child ,

You try to do things for them .

For a child sometimes  ,

Just being there is all you can do .

For a child just to listen to what they say .

I try to share my experiences

But they never ask do they ?

Oh God I pray .

From time to time you end up

Giving what you can

Then come up for air and pray again .

Sometimes you want  to substitute for a child ,

Because you know what is going to happen

In the long run .

For a child I can pray

Morning noon and night

Because of love for a child .
