Sunrise

Upon the dawning of every new day

I set my eyes up heaven’s way

I humbly bow at heaven’s door

And ask to speak to God once more

My heavenly Father I do say

I thank you for this glorious day

He looks down on me and smiles

And say, I give it lovingly my child

Now take each day as it comes

From early morn to setting sun

Be thou productive and sow many seeds

To all be kind and do good deeds

And when the sun starts to descend

Be assured that tomorrow - It will rise again

My Way

I wish I could sing a beautiful song

I really wish I had

A voice like that of an angel

That could make sad hearts glad

I would sing of life – love and beauty

Of the happiness in my soul

Sing of the wonders God blessed me to behold

But alas; I can not sing the words

That ears would want to lend

But words beautiful words I’ll write

Me and my trusty pen

Legacy

Shaka – oh Shaka mighty Shaka Zulu

You spoke to me Shaka and now I speak for you

I heard not of you in my years growing up

I’ve always known you mighty
