The Power of Oatmeal

THE POWER OF OATMEAL

Let’s take a walk down memory lane, past the darkness past the pain.

It was a cold and rainy day, and I was late getting home from school.

But as I looked up and there she stood, 6 foot 4 but in reality 4 foot 9.

It was that little old lady I call Grandma.

These are the words I would hear her say, how about some oatmeal on this cold rainy day.

These are the words I can still hear her say, how about some oatmeal on this cold rainy day.

Because yesterday grandma passed away.

So how about some oatmeal on this cold rainy day.

The Remnants of Your Scent

THE REMNANTS OF YOUR SCENT

Yesterday you were just a flower growing from the Earth.

It’s not all about your beauty, but the remnants of your scent.

It’s that sweet intoxicating aroma you left to linger in the air.

As the rain and winds surround us, your fragrance still lingers there.

It’s not about the beauty of the flower that I want to see,

It’s all about your sweet aroma that intoxicates me.

Happy Veterans Day

Still Free

As we stand in the Vet’s cemetery on this Veterans Day,

and watch the flag dance in the breeze

as if to watch over all the men and women who have given their lives in such an honorable way,

So that we may all be free.

In a world with so much turmoil,

But yet,

We are still free.

Today is the day that we give thanks to all the veterans who have paved the way and thank them

Each and every morning because

Today we are free.

Still Free

11th Hour – 11th Day – 11th month

Hard but Fair

Hard but Fair

Sometimes the lessons we learn are hard but fair.

Sometimes the lessons are too hard to bear.

Sometimes a lesson is to show you that someone cares.

Sometimes a lesson can go too far, and in life leave you with all kinds of scars.

So stay in line, and learn your lesson, and no matter what the situation or the lesson.

It still can be hard but fair.

Every Tear

 

Every tear has a story, that’s why we gather here today.

To talk about this one and that one and how that one got away.

In the midst of heartbreak, pain, and sympathy.

Every tear has a story, that’s why we’re here today.

Take off those sunglasses and they’ll be no rain today.

Stand in solitude and let those tears run down your face.

Because every tear has a story, that’s why we’re here today.
