SOURCES OF INSPIRATION, MY GRANDDAUGHTERS.

BOTH HAVE GIVEN ME MORE JOY THAN THEY

WILL EVER KNOW.

POEMS

I’ve written love poems for years

That has given me endless pleasure

I could feel the Lord, all about me

His sweet presence cannot be measured.

I would wake up in the middle of the night

Grab some paper and my favorite pen

While the wind was blowing up a gale

I would be visiting with the good Lord, again.

I would ask him for a certain word

To make some silly poem rhyme

I could close my eyes for a few seconds

He had let it come clear as crystal in my mind.

All of the poems binded in this book

Wasn’t written by only just me

The good Lord, was always around

In addition, kept me the sweetest company.

A BLANKET OF LONELINESS

Baby, your sweet love was truly something

It now brings tears to my eyes

I must have fallen a lot deeper

Than my lonely heart ever realized.

I wake up each morning, calling out your name

So loud that even my guardian angel could hear

I seem to be in a blanket of lonliness

Like in a trance, wishing you were here.

I have told myself a million times that it’s over

That love had made it’s visit and gone

But it’s a completely different story

When I’m cuddled up with your memory all alone.

Lord, on a rainy and stormy night it is pure misery

I toss and turn the whole night through

I sit up in bed and pray a lot

That the good Lord, will send me someone like you.

A CANYON

I woke up bright and early this morning

Only to find that you’re still on my mind

I have talked to the good Lord, about it

Praying this feeling for you would have declined.

I can’t go on from now until forever

Loving you with all my heart in vain

I believe the Lord, is always with me

As I fall asleep, whispering your name.

There’s something so very special about you

That keeps me hanging on tight

I can’t let go to save my life right now

By maybe someday if I pray enough I might.

When I first fell in love with you, baby

I was all but gleaming so deep inside

But a canyon couldn’t hold all the tears

That yearning for you has made me cry.

A DOZEN TIMES

I have called a dozen times

And I still can’t get through

I believe you have found someone else

That you have been talking to.

Are you telling him that you love him

In the same sweet way that you told me

Have you got him walking on a cloud

Just as restless as he can be.

Does he think that you are gorgeous

In the same way that I do

Would he give up everything

To spend forever with you.

Has he tasted your sweet kisses

That would put his heart in a spin

Would he keep on calling you

Like me, over and over again.

A HEAP

Now baby, don’t you be lonely

Don’t even attempt to be sad

But for some unknown reason

I lost all the love for you I had.

Every morning my pillow was damp

Where I had cried myself to sleep

The good Lord, plus all of my friends

Knew that I truly loved you a heap.

While I was staring out the window

The leaves seemed so parched and dry

I
