Inside My Heart

Inside my heart on some bright sunny days
I feel like a canary in a coal mine
And I don't know where I am going .
I feel like I am going no where,
But when I drink green tea ,
It takes away the pain .
Inside my heart
I can speak a little louder .
The changes in the outside pressure
May hurt my heart .
Sometimes things go so fast
That I can not stop
And its like slow motion .
Inside my heart some days
I can see light
And some nights in my heart
We party the night away for it is my heart .
How far is the journey from my heart
To your heart  ?

I Go

I go do things
To get away from things .
I go pick up things
Monday - Friday and every day
I end up at my favorite bar
And have 2 cups of green tea
That makes my week days .
If I go fishing by myself
Or with a friend ,
I feel great
Because I get a way from things
For a while.
If I get a fish its a plus .
When I go hunting on my own
Or with family and friends
And I don't get a bird
That's ok with me
Because I am with family and friends
For this little while .
When I run morning or night ,
I know everything will be all right .
When I write poetry  ,
I can block things out for a short time,
But I got to go now
Because it's time to go back .

Grandma Rocks

Grandma never went off her rocker .

She always had my back .

I could always have her hand

And most of all her ear .

She always knew how to put

Things together

With her thread and with her heart.

She would say to ask for a miracle

Would take time .

She always called me at the right time .

She would say above all ,

Guard your heart

For it is the well spring of life .

My Bike

When I ride my bike ,
I ride my dream cycle .
I can truly see what is ahead of me .
I start out early in the morning
Sometimes in the dark
But the stars and the bright moon
Will keep me company .
After work ,
I ride my bike with the sun
And the wind at my back .
I keep my eyes wide open
And my ears to the ground .
It does not cost that much
To ride my bike .
I think and dream better on my bike
For there is no radio on .
I am most happy
Whenever I ride my bike
No matter what people say
About me on my dream cycle
For I can dream small or big
When I am on my bike .

8 WOW 8

I went for a run this morning
Around 7:15 .
I was running talking to the Lord
And my family up stairs
When just south of the local race track
Just south of the trees
8 cocks got up and flew away .
I told everyone to look down
And look what I just saw.
I have my eyes and memories
To see the 8 cocks fly high as a family .
I did not have one shell or even a gun .
I will be jacked up the rest of the day .
I thanked the Lord for this day
And that I am alive .

Tomorrow

Always take one day at a time
For tomorrow will take care of its self .
Reach out your hands
In comfort and joy and cheer .
Don't feel your loneliness .
Don't shed wild tears .
To pray is the easy part .
Remember God touches you
Yesterday , today and tomorrow .

Time

Time gives you time .
Life is about timing
And timing is about life  .
A day is just time counted
In a 24 hour unit .
Time seems to tick away .
Time is fragile .
They say time is forever .
Time can make you cry ,
Smile and sad some times .
We can find time
To have some fun .
Sometimes we have to wait
For what we truly want .
I have time to think
About what did happen
What could have happened
And what might happen .
Do you know what time it is in your life ?

My South Dakota Home

When I call home ,
It seems not so far away .
When I take the time ,
To truly look at old family photos ,
Time just goes by .
I feel like I am back home .
When I sit out side at night
And the stars are just right
And they are lined up just
Like if I was home .
I am home .
When I get up in the morning
I go outside and try to find
The beautiful sunrise
That I left back home .
Oh I wish
I was back home this morning  .
I think , I will call home once again .

Who Am I

When things don’t go my way

I don’t quit ,

Because there is always

Hope on the horizon .

I need to stand my ground .

I need room to sleep

And dream and be happy  .

There is always someone in my ear .

I sometimes feel the heat  .

There is and always will be

An eye ball test .

I will never take an eye ball test

Until I am called to come home .

If  you take the eye ball test today ,

You may miss something

That will count in the long run .

Oh , I may run by you  some day

And say hi .

That is who I am .

Our Naptime

You have jumped and ran .

You and I had some fun .

Now is the time for you and I

To have a naptime .

I will sing my grandma’s song .

The song she sang to me .

Together you and I ,

Will lie down and sleep .

At this time of day

As the world turns ,

You will be all mine .

Oh those big eyes of yours

Oh how do they shine .

It is time to sleep .

It is time for us to rest .

It is naptime for us ,

In this quit giant nest .

Being Free

Being free means I love you forever .

When you could not sleep ,

I gave you strength .

Remember life is a stage

So always perform your best .

I will always keep you

In the palm of my hand .

I will sit here until you need me .

I will hold you in my heart forever .

Being free means you know

I am here .
