As I stand

As I stand

As I stand here on this mountain
top looking across all of God's creations in awe all around me,
I am saddened that I am even
human any more since hate,
violence, and racism is all I ever now see with children dying before they are born and homless men, children, and woman living out on the streets.

As I stand here and think about life and so many different things
in the valley down below, I
started thinking to myself have
we not learned anything from our past? World War I, World
War ll, Vietnam, Korea, the Gulf
War and many more is there not anything else besides war that
we all know? When will we all
finally give peace a chance that
is what I want to know? But
greed and power are the
catalyst to all of their made up
wars.

As I navigate sailing around in
this big beautiful deep blue sea,
I started thinking thoughts
about who and what we are,
then it suddenly occurred to me
that maybe all this time that we
spend here on this earth is just
practice for what is yet to come
as we pass then are judged as
our souls ascend to become
Angels are we not higher up on
his rung?

As I lay here in this field covered
with beautiful white roses on a
blanket looking up at all of the
stars, I wonder how long that
it would take if I counted them
all, would there be as many as
all of the innocent souls that we
have lost in all of our religious
an made up wars?

Floating down this long and
curvy river looking up at the big
bright sun, I wonder why we
have so many homeless and
starving people in this world
when we really should have
none you see I believe that God
put us all here on this earth
together to help one another
out, but look at us and what have we done, I am sure that we
are failing this world that is without a doubt.

As I sit here on my front porch here in North Texas early on a
cold rainy winter morning, I look
around at all that I have albeit
so very small because I know
there are so many who have
none which makes me know
just how lucky I am as I try and teach that to all four of my sons,
then l begin to think why are we
here on earth for just so little
amount of time as my heart
begins to sink then break just
knowing that we live a life so
sublime. I hope this world can
find peace and equality soon for
all so that all my children can
grow up with no fear of wars,
free to choose what religion
they are and it is their right
and theirs alone. That things as
poverty.hunger, and disease will
only be taught in history class and that the only colors that are
taught are from all of the
beautiful rainbows around the
world and crayons in their box.

I believe that peace on this earth
and goodwill towards all of man
is a very easy task, but first we
must find peace within
ourselves in hopes that it will
last, for peace at heart is where
to start then your family and all
of your friends, so just look
inside of yourself then let all your hate and anger go while
you smile at everyone that you
meet and you will that soon the
world will smile too from sea
to shinning seas.

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all a...

It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book.

  "A story of one man's epic love for his son who is not of his blood." One day I was woken up by a dream I think it was really a nightmare I was alone or so I thought, I was seeing shadows and I kept hearing voices whispering in my ear so I started listening and writing it down, I still do that today. That was ten years ago and with those words, I wrote my first book., The Battle Lost: Ryder's Birth, It was a whopping fifty-two pages each a separate piece of poetry with extremely bad grammar, misspelled words, and no punctuation I had a good friend go through it when I got it back there were so many red marks I flashed back to high school. It has been on Amazon's top ten Epic Poetry (Free) in the Kindle Store for ten years. Ryder is now eleven years old and doing awesome it really was an epic battle physically, mentally, and emotionally fought in Parker County, Texas. DNA does not matter if you love that child enough and I Proved that. Actually, Attorney Bethel T...

Happily ever after amen.

Happily ever after amen.  Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear  your blood flowing through  your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you w...
