A space ship landed over there
No one’s believed me yet
I walked on over after dark
And took my friend the vet
...

A whirling wind uplifts a leaf
Brings childish laughter midst my grief
And though my sorrow tears at me
There’s also room for Lana’s glee.
...

Yes, pain has a face
It's not that obscure
...

God knows who anonymous is
He knows why storms hit or miss
He governs all of nature's laws
For each effect, He is the cause

A preacher came up from Georgia-he was looking for some souls to win
He was in a bind; he was way behind-he was willing to buck the trend.
He first went up to Smyrna, a church out in Tennessee
And the preacher said to a church ‘bout dead, “Folks, listen to me.”

“Show him our finest, ” the shop owner said
“This customer’s richer by far
“Than anyone else that you’ve seen in our store
“Don’t stare; no don’t glance at his scar.”

The rancher rode his horse one night, the snow piled on the trail
He’d traveled far to get back home, but feared that he might fail
But when the stars shone brightly; he knew he wouldn’t stray
The wise men must have looked above and followed that same way.
...

If I were a bear, I would barely breathe
As the bees swarmed near—til my courage grew
When my memory of past stings grew dim
I would reach within; what could six bees do?
...

I can’t say forgive them ‘cause, Father, they know what they do.
I picture them floating around in hypocrite stew.
They won’t take a life raft though you’ve thrown ‘em out more than two.
I can’t say forgive them ‘cause, Father, they know what they do.

Well, you’ve heard of Jim Thorpe and the other greats,
But have you heard of a fellow who really rates
A notch ahead of that Indian back?
He was rough and tough—old Fullback Jack.

There’s A Little In All of Us

There’s a little bitty dog in all of us like the one that wags his tail
We sit up straight when we sense a treat or the mailman brings the mail
...

Her ponytail swiveled; she even looked mean-
Not yet five feet tall though nearly fourteen.
Coach motioned to her; she knew what that meant
She couldn’t hold back and started to sprint.
...

They’d like for us to believe that
Mere matter in various forms
Combined in coincident order
Like particles driven by storms.
...

Night just doesn’t go away –
She lingers well into the day,
And won't admit her time is up
At least until the second cup.
...

Have you ever just wondered what God has in store
When He’s saying, “Be patient—just one battle more? ”
Does He know all the burdens that you have to bear?
Does He know that you’re hurting; does He hear every prayer?
...

I listened Sunday morning
To all the singing birds;
I saw no choir director
And heard no human words.
...

He’s big enough to hang the stars in Heaven;
His power is such He calmed the raging sea.
He’s pure enough to be the Lamb Most Holy,
But He loved enough to die for you and me.
...

Why does a precious baby coo
And snuggle at you neck
When life has been so troublesome
And made your day a wreck?
...

This spot on earth was once a forest green
Acacia trees grew strong-so thick and tall
But axe or saw had never touched their bark
For lightning struck before these trees could fall.
