The Crusader

A tear runs down my face

As I watch the world go by.

Hatred, fear, and depression are on everyone’s faces as the world goes by.

Trees are cut down and animals are killed

A tear runs down my face.

People are hungry and sick

While others run to the bank

People are cold and homeless

While others complain that their home is not big enough

A mother watches as their child cries they have no shoes

While another complains that their shoes are dirty

A tear runs down my face.

A lone crusader faces the problem of man.

He fights for the hungry, scared and weak.

He fights but the enemy overpowers him.

The crusader is gone.

A tear runs down my face.

The Dream

The sky is blue and the grass is green.

I walk barefoot to feel the soft, green grass.

The air has a sweet smell.

The sun is warm on my face.

This is MY dream.

Cool stream filled with fish.

Children playing at a tree

The sounds of birds singing and playing

This is MY dream.

Picnic laid out on the ground

A blanket of red and white checkers

Cold ice tea touches my lips.

This is MY dream.

I am sad that this perfect world is my dream.

Since it is a dream…please don’t wake me up.

The Letter

Dearest Deb thank you for coming into my life

Thank you for consenting to be my wife

Dearest Deb your eyes sparkle like the morning sun

Your heart is pure and filled with love and fun

Dearest Deb my heart sings for joy at the mention of your name

Two hearts come together to form one and the same

Dearest Deb I love you more than life

I will always protect you from fear and strife

Dearest Deb I love your laugh

Your laugh brings me joy and happiness

Dearest Deb I will love you now and forever.

From Darkeness Comes Light

Darkness comes in the day

My eyes close like heavy weights

My spirit is broken, and it is dark all around.

Pain, suffering and feelings of dread

Pain is swelling all through my head.

The world is cold, angry and sad.

People swear, kick and treat you bad.

As they walk around complaining and pointing fingers at others.

Light comes though the darkness

In the form of two stars shinning bright

I reach out and grab the stars and tenderly

Hold them close to my heart.

The stars are from heaven and warm my heart.

The stars give me strength and we will never part.

The Beast

She walked into his life like and angel.

This man who stands there is a beast

A beast who is unrefined, disgusting, and ugly.

She is like a light shining bright through the clouds.

Gown flowing through the air white and pure

Her body could be seen through the gown.

Soft, smooth and pure…she is a goddess

A ray of sunshine comes into the life of the beast.

From the darkness comes light

She sees the good in his heart when all others can’t.

People are scared of the beast.

The angel gets close to the beast to touch his skin.

His cold heart melts with one touch of her hand.

The beast trembles with fear, he does not know love.

Into the future they walk hand in hand.

The future is unknown, they will write their own story.

Future

I walk this land alone.

Cold earth touch my feet below

No support to my left or to my right.

I look in front of me for a fight.

I am afraid of what is in front of me.

As I am blind of the future I can’t see.

No plan, no money, no guide

I am so scared, I don’t feel alive.

I want to grow, love, and explore.

But how? I don’t know.

I am looking for hope in my heart.

Love is there, now that may be a start.

Max, Delilah, and Deb that makes three

As hope grows like a mighty tree.

Growing stronger everyday

The triad that I call my family is

LOVE

New beginning
