You And I

I am excepted as I am 

When I am with you .

We can sit outside on an early morning 

And watch the clouds move along slowly .

You and I can go fishing 

And we do not care if we get any .

We can sit by the water 

And enjoy our company  .

The water moves along 

And it is a cleansing water ,

If you know what I mean  ?

When we get home ,

You and I can sit outside 

And watch the moon slowly move over us

And we can sit side by side 

And not say a word and have a great time 

Just the same .

Because we except each other as we are .

I do not need a beer or a needle 

To find happiness 

Because we have had happiness all along

Because we except each other as we are now

That's what counts .

Friends And Brothers

You can widen your life by yourself 

But to deepen it you need a friend .

Each person that becomes a friend 

Turns into a lifeline  .

You can never have to many friends  .

With a friend you can make plans .

With a friend you have the luxury

Of walking through a dark night

Without stumbling .

When you are with a friend ,

Your never alone .

It is always a privilege and a joy

When you brush shoulders

With your friend and brothers .

                     By Brock

A Friend

I want to be your friend .

I am strong when it comes to heart .

I am strong when it comes to caring .

I will help remove your fears and anxieties .

I will listen and not judge .

I will not know every thing .

I will never sale you short .

I will never give you any amazing answer

Because that is not me .

A good day is when we are both happy .

Bitterness, Forgiveness And Trust

Bitterness only hurts you so use forgiveness .

Forgiveness is a choice not a feeling  .

Don't hold on to what is hurting .

Trust takes time not forgiveness .

Remember forgiveness is a choice 

Were trust takes time to build 

So please take time to build back true trust 

If you can ?

It is never to late to make a fresh 

Start with forgiveness than work up to trust  .

No Limit

You have not reached your limit .

You are a body of possibilities  .

You are the exception .

Don't believe what people say

About you .

Believe in yourself 

And all that you can do .

Don't think what could have been

But what will happen .

Always reach out for more 

And something better

Will come your way

Starting today .

                          By Brock

Watch Listen And Adapt

Watch listen and adapt ,

I need your love to empower me 

To take the step in front of me .

I need to tune in to watch and listen

And to adapt to everything I see .

I need to learn to get quiet to listen .

I need to adapt to let the light

Dispel any darkness in me .

Let the light in my heart carry

The truth .

When I watch , listen and adapt

To everything  ,I can everyday .

I will learn something good in it .

I will be like a sponge .

I will try to pick up everything

Good and keep it in me .

                     By Brock

Live Today

May I receive your love

Today and live in it .

I will not focus

On the disappointment 

Of yesterday 

Or the uncertainties of tomorrow  .

I will embrace today as a gift .

Today may I listen to your warnings 

And may you show

Me if my priorities are skewed 

And where I need

To make changes today .

I will live today 

And treasure it to .

You will see .

A Master Dad

He came 

He did everything for everyone  

And then he was gone .

He gave every part of himself 

To everyone .

He was never a weekend love .

He could convenience you

That you were special .

He always looked at you eye to eye  .

He always listened .

He loved to play .

He loved the word smiley .

He softened my heart

When I would ask why me .

He would bring unity among everyone .

He truly knew the meaning of love .

As long as there is a moon at night

And during the day a sun

He will always be with me .

                     By Brock

My Love

Beneath all of my longings 

Is my deep desire for you .

You are the one my soul needs .

You are the one my heart 

Cries out for .

Only you can bring meaning

And fulfillment to my life .

Please give me the grace to press

On in loving you 

And surrendering more of myself 

To you my love .

                             By Brock

My Friends

When I am with my friends ,

It is like a family

We have faith in God

We have fairness

And yes , we do have fun .

My friends are friends forever .

My friends will never say never .

A night with my friends 

Is never long ,

When I am with my friends 

And I need them ,

They will take my hand 

And together we stand as one .

The 7 Wonders

The 7 true wonders of the world .

To see

To hear

To Touch

To taste

To feel 

To laugh

To love 

Everyone has them

But you need to use them .

Do you wonder if you use 

All 7 of these wonders everyday ,

If you do you will always have hope 

In your heart .

                            By Brock

Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be a new day.

Give me the wisdom and courage

And faith to reach

Out to people around me 

Who need to know the healing touch .

No secret can protect anyone .

Tomorrow is not a given 

It is a blessing .

Tomorrow is waiting 

For all of us and a new beginning .

                        By Brock

Give It Up

Every day give joy 

Give hope

Give an open heart

Give a smile 

Give your time 

Give your best 

Give some sunshine

The greatest thing 

A person can give every day 

Is kindness

                By Brock

Each Day

I want to protect you ..

I want to share the good news  .

I want my heart to be in tune 

With you .

I want to teach you the joy 

Of investing in happiness .

I want you to use

Your time in opportunities

In serving others  .

With a smile on your face .

I want to protect you

From your bad impulses 

And to teach you to do

The right things to others .

                    By Brock

I Want To Be Like Dad

Dad always had a twinkle in his eye .

He gave my heart ease .

He never got a BS degree 

But was the smartest man 

I ever knew .

He told me when someone

Hurts you 

You need to be better 

Than the person who hurt you .

He told me I had to listen

More than I talk  .

He could protect me

Even When I could not see him .

He never put anyone down 

Not even the old .

He called special kids smiley .

He loved everyone 

And he loved to have fun .

With everyone no matter their age .

He and I would on Sundays 

Go out and give his horse a beer .

He was able to respect everyone 

Even those who hurt his loved ones in time .

He said I need to laugh 

When I am hurting inside .

He was a treasure in my eyes .

I want to be more like my dad .

                     By Brock

Just Me

I know the water .

I know the green tea 

That goes through my body .

I know the hills 

And I know the gullies of my body .

I know all the curves and turns of me .

It is quit today .

Only time moving toward a possible rejection

Tomorrow will break the stillness in me .

I'm going to have my special green tea 

Before the break of stillness in the morning .

                                              By Brock

The Heart

It is the heart that matters .

Turn your heart to God .

And He will except you ,

Your flaws and weaknesses

And your not perfect .

Enjoy the life you have ..

You can not change over night .

It is who you are 

Not what you do .

Don't beat yourself up .

When God made you ,

He did not have a bad day .

Your heart matters so smile

Every day

And you are a winner in my eyes .

                             By Brock

Years And Years

When you are old and the years

Go by so quickly ,

And something happens to you 

Out of the blue 

And you get hurt once again

And you truly got burned 

In the same place several years ago .

You did scratch some old scare tissue 

That is true 

But sometimes it takes old scare tissue 

To be taken off until you look back

And then you understand 

How and why some thing happened to you .

Now you know what to do .

It takes years for scare tissue 

To get hard all over again 

Even a kick in the shin .

Now leave it alone .

                             By Brock

Old Memories

Some memories are lucky and successful .

In memories there are no shadows .

Memories are built on yesterdays .

Memories are brighter with age .

You can color your own memories .

Your memories are as you see them 

As time goes by faster every day ,

Your memories go back further 

Than that each day .

                                 By Brock

Grandma Taught Me

Grandma taught me 

To take one day at a time 

To put all truths into practice

In my life every day .

You taught me to rejoice 

Even in  my struggles

Because I should rejoice 

In who I am 

Because of you I have hope .

In the face of life's awful circumstances ,

You would say talk to God 

For God will carry you in his arms .

When you are over whelmed .

Thanks to you and your wisdom 

For leading me along 

The right path of my life .

                          By Brock

Just Me

I know the water .

I know the green tea 

That goes through my body .

I know the hills 

And I know the gullies of my body .

I know all the curves and turns of me .

It is quit today .

Only time moving toward a possible rejection

Tomorrow will break the stillness in me .

I'm going to have my special green tea 

Before the break of stillness in the morning .

The Image

I try to fit in and always smile .

People will stare and judge me 

And even make fun of me in their own way ,

Like asking me to open a can of beer

When they knew I did not drink 

And then they rejected a gift 

I gave them as a gage gift 

And then put the gage gift in my mail box

They thought and drove away .

I have many different scares representing 

The most horrible events that people have done to me

And by saying we are friends .

I may be unconventional

But I still say why me and I still smile .

At my age 

I still take one day at a time 

And spend more time

Walking and running with God 

And growing more and more spiritually fit .

                                       By Brock

Our Rainbow

Hold on to me . 

As I make this our rainbow ,

We will have a rainbow connection .

Rainbows have nothing to hide 

Nor do we .

I like to watch you smile 

As you look up into the sky .

With our rainbow everything is believable .

As you watch our rainbow ,

I promise and pledge to heal you ,

As we dream as we watch our rainbow glow .

                                           By Brock

I Will Be There

I will be there for you ,

That is my promise to you .

Hold my hand in the dark

Or in the night .

I will always be there

So don't be afraid .

It is OK to cry anytime .

Remember the angels 

In the sky will be by and by 

And they say it will be a greater day .

Each new day makes a difference ,

So hold my hand and together

We will make it a better day

And we will not be empty of joy 

                        By Brock

The Past

Forget what was behind  

And press for what is ahead .

Always look forward .

Don't look back .

Live in the now .

Don't be taken back 

By your past .

Always shut the door 

Behind you and don't be afraid

To open another 

And smell the outdoors .

Always look forward to see those

You love .

Don't be afraid to call out to God .

Think about what is growing 

Or coming up soon .

Look what you can see today

Because you can not see yesterday .
