I Have The Keys

Lean on me not the bottle .

Drink it slow if you have to ,

Because you got it until 

You can see the bottom clearly .

There is always a reflection of you

No matter what you do or drink  .

Let me take you home 

Because you said your home 

Is like an old lost friend  ,

I do not want you to forsake

One good morning .

I have the keys 

I will be a best friend forever .

Let me take you by the hand .

Lets get out of here .

Circumstances Change

I just want to get away .

I go to the river not really

To get the big fish .

I just want to sit under my special tree

And there I do not feel afraid  

I will find light and guidance under my tree .

I feel secure and peaceful there .

The sun is shining  brightly

On me now and.the sweat is back in my hands

And I am going to go fish

And I will get the big ones !

Wait For Him

When you get old with age

Difficult trying times seem

To just happen .

You experience time

When you do not see God .

God is always watching you 

So therefore wait for him .

yes wait for him .

In a little while a cloudless day

Will dawn .

Every dark cloud has a silver lining .

A night may be long 

But every night is followed by daybreak

We all have hope whether you see it or not 

Believe in and wait for God .

My Heart

I will always carry you 

In my heart .

I will pierce your heart

With my heart .

My heart is in my mouth

Because I need to feel

And taste what I say

With my heart

And what I love to do

And who I love every day .

On a bad day somethings 

Do not count 

But they do matter in my heart .

Somethings will just never 

Makes sense to me 

But I will always keep

My heart in the right place .

When You're Young

Oh to look but not see

And to hear but not understand .

Music is a life raft for the young .

When being outside is your home

Away from home ,

When your outside ,

You have a little magic taste 

In your mouth .

You lose that special taste 

When you come 

Inside and especially 

When the years go by 

And your not young any more .

                           By Brock

Time With Him

He speeds up my clock 

Every time I am with him .

When I am with him ,

I can hear my heart beat

Coming from my ears .

I am as near to him

As the shade on my left hand .

When I spend a day with him ,

I ask myself where did the day go ?

I will always give him my time

And my time with him 

Will never be wasted ,

Because of my love for him always .

Your Heart

Put yourself in God's hands .

It is your heart that matters .

Always turn your heart toward God .

Except yourself for who you are .

There are much more right things 

About you than you think . 

God approves of you just where you are .

How you think about yourself

Truly counts who you are .

You will be approved by your family

Because we love you .

We do not keep a record of all

Your mistakes 

Because we love you .

Always reach for your highest potential

And keep your heart in the right place .

The Exit Door

We are all much closer

To the exit door than the entrance door .

When the exit door opens

Everything on this side

Is forever over .

What have I gotten 

Out of life ?

When I pause and look back

There is so much that makes me uneasy .

When I look back

I also see many uncompleted task

That worry me .

I will try and do as much good things

For me and my family and friends

Before the exit door closes behind me .

                                By Brock

Oh To Be Old

What seems to grow fairer

To me as life goes by 

Is the love and tenderness of it .

Oh the laughter of children

And oh yes the grandchildren's

Laughter yet so loud so joyfully .

The friendship of friends

And the easy talk outside

Under the stars 

And the sight of flowers

In the afternoon 

And the sound of music

All around .

What do you  see 

what do you hear

Oh first go outside

Before you get to old !

              By Brock

Him

When I am with him ,

I feel healed .

He makes a change in me .

I know he loves me .

Oh how he holds me like only 

He does .

I love to hold him face to face !

Oh when he touches me !

I feel every thing new again .

When I am with him ,

I need not to hurry 

But I do worry about him 

So I will pray for him always ,

When I am not with him .

When I am with him ,

Time is not on our mind .

Sep 11

I cried when I had no shoes .

Until I saw a man without any feet .

I cried when my one hand had some pain 

Until I saw the same man who had

No hands .

When we looked eye to eye ,

We cried our eyes out .

We cried as one .

We cried for joy 

For we have now and tomorrow

For we are lucky 

For there are people 

We will never see eye to eye again 

For they died on Sep 11 2001 .

The Excuse

No more excuse .

You don't want to stay

Where you are .

Get rid of the excuse .

An excuse will slow you down .

An excuse will hold you back .

An excuse will make you look back .

Step up to who you want to be .

Step up to a new level .

God will get you where

You are to be .

Turn fear to faith .

Turn silence to singing .

Turning limping along

To leaping with joy .

You have what you need today

No more excuse .

                      By Brock

Tomorrow

Every day makes a difference .

I will follow you wherever you lead me .

You are here now and for tomorrow .

Your eyes are already on a sparrow

Therefore I know you are watching me

And all my loved ones 

One by one 

And especially tomorrow .

You will never be surprised

By what you come upon 

Because you live 

I can face tomorrow .

You will never rest until all is home .

                             By Brock

Only Your Grandpa

Oh grandpa will try to understand 

His grandson's reality .

With grandpa's help today

His grandson will live in his light

And with his strength .

Grandpa will listen to you 

When its dark or light outside .

When you are young ,

You look smart ,

But yet you can be sad to .

Sad isn't bad it helps

A child to mourn .

When grandpa prays

For his grandchild 

He does not expect to understand

Everything the grandchild tells him ,

But grandpa will pray to God

For his grandchild

Because grandpa will get paid

For praying 

When grandpa does get to heaven ,

To grandpa this is part of grandpa's

Over all human equation .

As Grandpa See It

Give him tough love

For he is easy to love .

Some things are a blur 

And out of focus to him 

So sometimes he can not see

What is just in front of his face 

Give him a second touch or chance .

I don't want him to settle for less .

I like to push him to his destiny .

The best part of his life is in his future .

Always have him move forward .

This is the love habits

Of grandpa's heart  .

They.are the most powerful

Influence on his grandchild 

As his grandpa see it .
