Digital verdantstalks of bamboo rise out ofrich dark earthen soil
Amid the dark night watches And oer the lonely city A sentinel keeps the vigil Never forsaking duty His gaze will never waver Through the long dark night Searching with all diligence We should not suffer fright Our sleep is slept untroubled Our children play in safety We give no thought to danger We live our lives in beauty This is all accomplished By men of strength and honor The sentinels of our nation The guardians of our future
In humble thanks I welcome thee Oh sprite who haunts The depths of me When time warrants Questions cunning Feel free to ask They’ll be forth coming
I stood beside the deep blue sea and heard the errant sea gull cry It was then my heart did sigh and yearn for foreign lands afar I watched as clouds hung over head Crowding close to darkening sky It was then I did ascry the ship that sailed round rocky cliff I cried aloud from sandy shore and waived my hands to bring it nigh It was then that I did vie for berth upon that roaming ship I sailed that ship around the world through many journey and lands gone by It was the life I lived high…
See the rising sun today peaking oer yon horizon I ran towards it eagerly to say hello and greet him All around me myst did lie Above the trees did hover Hiding many treasured things Beneath the soft gray cover Then the sun did greet the myst Bright in his crimson fashion And the myst did run away Before his glorious shining Farewell said I to the myst I’ll see thee on the morrow For I greet the morning sun Who takes away my sorrow
Say hello to this weeks end A time to rest and breathe When all the world heaves a sigh And puts it self at ease The night lights up in color Bright in social flair People go and celebrate Out in the open air Tis weeks end and time To rest in comely solace That best enables thee To face tomorrows morass
Outside my glistening window While the evening darkens I seek a peaceful slumber And my glad soul hearkens To the sounds of an evening lark
Kiss the moon gnight for me And tell the stars farewell I go to nether faerie lands Beneath a gossamer veil Kiss the moon gnight for me And let the lilies linger Lightly on the waters edge Touched by a silver sliver Kiss the moon gnight for me And feel the winds embrace Sun has set oer yonder lee And God gives you his grace Kiss the moon gnight for me And tell the morning fair That all the world is beautiful And life’s without a care
Above the skies In heavens land Doth pixie dust alight? The silver mist Beneath thy wings To match thy sparkling eyes? If it twer so Then I would fain To stand upon this ground And must needs find An eagle swift To bring thy golden crown
Forget not the fallen ones Whose precious lives were lost When liberties were threatened And great would be the cost That we would pay for freedom On that sad September day It gave us pause to wonder How great would be the price That we would pay in sorrow For loved ones and lost life Thus we know with surety That terror will not reign Tyranny will always fail And fail to ever gain For in noble hearts live on The spirit of the fallen
Two melodies drifting on quiet airs Gentle meanderings of kindred sound At once quick and soft with dulcet beauty The wanderings of things lost and things found I sit quietly beneath the dancing notes And wonder of many strange things above How came I to this place of holiness Surrounded by reminders of His love
Tis difficult to refrain From jubilant laughter While in her joyous presence Giggles follow after In an unending parade
The heavens show forthEndless creative beautyOf Almighty God
On an Autumns eveMy heart cries out with longingFor a God of love
The heart is fickleIt betrays at every turnI need Thy sure hand
I died, yet I liveThrough Christ who lives within meBy death I gain life
I shall die to self?Let rebirth through Christ renewAnd gain life by death
It starts with a single decision or two So small, just a little, only a few You’ve tried so hard and think you have earned it So you’ll indulge, thinking no one will notice But such is the case when little things slip Bigger things follow as quick as a lick Soon you’ll discover that all is undone Your life is a ruin because of your fun So listen my children, hear and be wise Consider the little decisions and lies Be honest and upright in all that you do Thus Joy and Great Blessing will follow you through
Among the green grassA summer night sings sweetlyWith sounds of crickets
