Country Roads

He drove country roads
with a big wide smile -
in a pick up truck
for mile after mile...

with his loving wife
right by his side -
they always enjoyed
a nice country drive...

He lived his life
as a Godly man -
as a loving husband
and a football fan...

He always had a joke
and a silly grin -
he was a happy dad
and a faithful friend...

He strummed guitar
to John Denver songs -
while those around
would laugh and sing along...

He wore a cowboy hat
with jeans and boots -
he knew how to survive
he knew how to shoot...

He loved his mom
and the Lord above -
he was an example
of strength and love..

Though it is hard
and broke hearts into -
there was nothing left
anyone could do...

wanting to go home
was his dying wish -
so we bid farewell
to his heavenly bliss.

Until we meet again...
Uncle Doug 1955-2021

Son Day

Oh dear Lord
another day -
has come along
and I must say...

I thank you Lord
as you give -
hope and strength
in this life we live...

Until that day
I'm at your feet -
and in your glory
I will weep...

As for now
I will push through -
my dear Lord
I believe in you!

Floating

It's quiet -
my thoughts are
loud...

Sometimes -
I am alone in a 
crowd...

Living life -
is usually lived
best...

When you are -
no longer concerned
with the rest...

Because really -
think it all
through...

Who in the hell -
is concerned with
you.

Shine

I'm happy
doing what I want -
I don't need to be
the thirsty debutant...

I'm free
doing what I love
I have risen
so far above...

The wannabee's
it's not where it's at -
I can be thankful
I didn't buy into that...

All those behind
are dust in my wake -
I have no time for diamonds
that are fake.

Plastic Lies

I thought it all
was everything -
turns out in the end
it was nothing...

A lot of mirrors 
and lots of lights -
to everyone's 
sought after delight...

It was a fake
a phony spill -
if walls could talk
if looks could kill...

Never believe
anything is good -
they just make you 
think you should. 

Blocked

Why am I always
too nice...

Apple spice -

While paying
the high price...

of dealing with
quite insane...

Same mundane -

I won't even
say their name...

Jealous fools -

with stupid rules
past uncool...

See ya!
