It 's A New Year

Let it go it's a new year .

When you look ahead ,

You see more than when ever

You look back at the past .

What is done is done  .

When things don't work out

Let it go and look what is placed

Beautifully right in front of you

Be focused on what is ahead

Not what was behind you .

You will truly receive

The beauty that is right

Ahead of you

Just keep your eyes open

To what is new .

At Grandma's House

You are as good as you can be

At grandma's house .

Every day stars some where

For lucky you its at grandma's house .

Oh the secrets that you and grandma

Will keep .

At grandma's house you are

In grandma's world

And grandma's world is bigger

And much better than your little world

Until you don't need grandma's

World

When you get much older  !

Grandma's world  is made

Just for you to help you grow .

Grandma's house is special .

I know that because I think about

My grandma's house even today .

You will never forget

To Understand

To understand , I have the pain

In my eyes  .

I feel the tears come down .

I truly feel what is going on .

I'm not blind to what I see .

I feel all I can do is pray

And ask for help from someone

Who is always beside me always

Because he surly understands

What is going on better than me

Oh to understand .

Grandma's Chair

I am in grandma's rocking chair

With no cane of hers at all .

I am fine for the shape I'm in

So that is fair .

When I rock what will I feel

And what will I see

And what will I think

When I rock in her chair  ?

She is always with me .

When I sit in her chair ,

I wonder what does grandma

Thinks of me and how I turned

out to be .

Oh I will pray

And I will sing

In her rocking chair  .

It will bring back memories

Of just grandma and me  .

In grandma's chair with her

It was and is much more

Than just a moment .

Hold My Hand

Jesus hold my hand  .

I know what it means to be alive .

You want to know why

I am so happy ?

I will never grow old

Because the roads I travel

Are pure gold

On a unclouded day  .

I don't hold a can in my hand

Because Jesus holds my hand

And keeps my hand held high

And I am not lonely because of him .

So Called Friends

Some times when I am with my

So called friends ,

I can not understand French  ,

They laugh I do not understand ,

They even laugh when I try

To open a can of beer for one of them

That could not be open by one hand  .

They laugh at me for who I am

Or is it because of what I am ,

Or is it a test  to be their friend  ?

They sure do not know what I have

Been going through in my life

It sure is not just to fit in with them these days .

Oh my so called friends .

I'm Silent Now

When I can not remember anything ,

It is more than a silent night .

Someone told me

Darkness will not over come light .

I am nothing without you ,

Just give me Jesus

And give me my family

Just let me hold you ,

One by one that is all I want  .

Do you know what to do ?

                                       By Brock

Where Do You Belong

This is not the sweetest story 

Ever told by my dad or I .

If you do not know where you belong  ,

Someone will come along

And pick you up off the street

And help you along the way .

What do you say  ,

But thank you for being there

And raising my spirits up

On this long day .

I know , I can depend on that family

Even If we do not eat

Oysters stew together any more .

I did clean up the spilled milk

And moved on

Because I know where I belong .

                                      By Brock

The Big Picture

I take pictures !

I like to put everyone in the right places

As I tell everyone to say horse manure

Just before I take the picture .

I want everyone to smile

So I can remember everyone that way .

I take pictures in color

Because of the beauty

That is always around everyone always .

God sees the big picture .

I want to see mine too .

                                           By Brock

I Love You

I love you because you 

Listen to me .

You never judge me .

Your heart is always open .

you tell me I can be

All I want to be

Not what I can not be .

I always feel better after spending

time with you .

You know I love you

But the best thing about you

Is that you love me to .

Your First Christmas

You will tear everything you can

Away from the Christmas tree .

Oh me oh my what will you get

What will you see on Christmas ?

You will not believe nor what to say .

Ho ho I don't know !!!!

You will like only to play

In the empty box just like me .

Your dogs will lick you

And then go see what they miss

Under the Christmas tree .

There is Christmas love in your little heart

That will always be there in you

Even when you get older .

I will never forget the first Christmas

That you gave me .

For me just don't grow up to fast .

You will always be smiley  to me

Everyday not just during Christmas .

Smiley lets go play in the biggest box

that will always be open to you and me .

Christmas

Christmas is love in action .

With Christmas all sorrow

And mourning will flee .

With those who seek

they will find the true

Meaning of Christmas .

Christmas puts a light

into everyone's open heart .

No one stands alone on Christmas .

At Christmas all children

Have wishful thinking .

At Christmas everyone is a child

Just look and count all the smiles

You see on Christmas day .

Look at all the simple  things

You can give on Christmas and

Every day and night of the year .

Until next Christmas !

Remember to open

Up everything with love .

I Live

When you live you feel more fit .

Squeeze everything out of every day

For you own every minute  .

Of every day .

Always live and love your life .

Everything depends on putting out 100% effort .

When you truly live ,

You can not wait until morning

To get up and get as much done

As you can under the sun  .

When you live

There is always a reason

To believe in yourself .

I live and I believe in me .

My Grandma's House

When you give love you get more .

She said , things change only with words .

She was the magnet

that kept us all together .

You didn't need to hide your feelings

At grandma's  for she always understood .

When you are at grandma's you are protected .

At grandma's house  there is never

Any confusion between right and wrong .

There is always rewards at grandma's

Like a cookie or 2 or 3

Or Even a donut  !

At grandma's all things are possible

At grandma's ,

For there is always time to play and to dream

But also time to pray at grandma's  .

                                             By Brock

No Worries

God's ways are better than our ways .

Be at peace .

Have a smile on your face

No  matter what  .

There is always  a trust test .

The best thing to do sometimes

Is release control of your worries ,

But never your dreams .

Worries ties the hands of God

Not yours .

God has you in the palm of his hands

God can bring the sunshine

And make anything grow .

the only thing you can control

Is your attitude

Life happens to all of us .

Let the worries go

And have some fun

With no worry .

Let God have them .

In South Dakota

In South Dakota you will see

More than you can tell .

In South Dakota you can leave

The blanket on the ground .

In South Dakota you never

Waste any time .

In South Dakota people

Will pick you up

On your way down .

In South Dakota you can see

The brightest moonlight

Almost every night ,

In the mornings the sunrise

Will hit you square in the eyes ,

The sunsets in South Dakota

Are never in doubt 

And  never a duplicate will be seen .

In South Dakota  you dream bigger  .

In South Dakota you see little things

That become big in your memory .

You will see big things that become

Giant things that will stay with you forever  ,

There is always something special

About  being in South Dakota  ,

I am lucky living in South Dakota .

Everyone is welcomed in South Dakota

The Poet

He can write about anything .

He can wear a yellow jacket

While he writes nobody cares .

He can make anything possible  .

He can write about an Easter bunny

or a jack rabbit of South Dakota .

He can write about Santa or his grandma ,

Because they make him happy .

He can make a coyote wear red and white .

He can write about being a coach

And always being right .

He can be a master fisherman

And the greatest hunter of all times .

He can always be with family and friends

Or by himself when he goes for a run

Early in the morning .

He can make all things and all dreams

Possible .

He can make people smile , laugh and think ,

Because he only puts things on paper you see .

Welcome To My World

Welcome to my world .

My true friends and family

Don't ask what is wrong with me .

They just say try it again .

I may not know much about anything .

There is always a key

To do the right thing ,

So first I need to find the right key .

They tell me not to think to much

Or worry .

I got to rise each morning

So that I can shine .

In my world ,

I want to shine and smile

Every day and night

With my true friends and family .

What's Fair

I was told I was not this nor that ,

I am always questioned

What I can do .

There are so many lanes

In my brain

And more in everyone else s .

In time everyone loses more

Lanes of brain power .

I just keep finding short cuts

To help me make it through each day .

I tell everyone I am fine for the shape

I am in .

I got to keep my eyes open

And my ears open at all times .

People say life is fair .

What is fair ?

Fair is where they judge pigs .

The Big Guy

I want to hold you with love

And put you to sleep as often

As I can .

I will treasure you always

You know and I love you so .

I know you will grow up

To be a big guy to soon .

You will grow up and go

Far away from here many times

In your life .

I will love and worry about you

No matter where you go

Until the end of time .

Every day that you are away

From me ,

I will feel like you are in your room

And it will always be ready for your return

And I already miss you big guy

Even today ,

Because I am your grandpa that's all ,

We are all running out of time you and I

So go to sleep

So i can pray .
