The earliest art we know
Was painted on the walls of caves.
Man has a strange uniqueness
With art his image he saves.

Art was used to show greatness
Of pharaohs, kings and queens
Who held tight to their titles
By the use of any means.

Greeks and Macedonians
Carved statues of themselves
To stand by pools of water
Or to perch upon their shelves.

The art of the Dark Ages
Left something behind to tell
That heaven looked quite good
To those whose life was hell.

Enjoy the blessing of each day
And trust not for tomorrow.
We can't recall our yesterdays
Though their loss gives us sorrow.

Gather your pleasures while you may
While the days you have left last.
Try to become more than you are
Before you're part of the past.

God must love people in love
Or He wouldn't have made so many.
Those who claim it's a mental disease
Have never been loved by any.

Love is stronger than life itself
And jealousy more cruel then the grave.
Men and women have loved one another
Since they spent their nights in a cave.

When the hands of love touch the strings of souls
There’ll be babies on the way.
That's the basic rules of life
No matter what games we play.

Like the flowers in the fields we shed our shields
To be warmed by the sun.
We live our lives the best we can
Till death catches us on the run.

I’m God’s most humble poet
Whose poems have meter and rhyme.
Stories of love, faith, hate, honor and duty,
Obedience, war, heroes, history and crime.

I’ve performed my gift on TV. And radio
Before millions I’ve never met.
Preached my praise of God and country
With 1,750 poems on the net.

Satan’s soldiers, shepherds and bards
Spew forth their foulness and grief.
They attack the joy and goodness of man
Dishonoring life, family, country and belief.

Prospering through work, love and conviction
Enables us to remain whole and how we should be.
Fortifying our soul with fulfillment of faith
Let’s our worst tribulations be shouldered by Thee.

Moses, Samson, David, Solomon and Jonah
All failed God in their own human way.
He chose to forgive them and bless their powers
So they might dwell in hearts of man today.

Life has always had its tests
To expose whom to follow, fear or forgive.
The better we love and share with others
The better we sleep, dream and live.

MOTHERS GOD’S ANGELS of LOVE!!
There’s no greater power on Earth
Then the love we get from our mothers.
They feel our fears within themselves
Far more then sisters or brothers.
 
As seasons pass; in time we learn
We can’t always rely on others.
No matter what our mistakes may be
We know we can run to our mothers.
 
Mothers have great big aprons
To hide from the world our flaws.
They kiss and scold when we do wrong
Teaching compliance of laws.
 
From birth to death mothers’ lead
Our angels of kindness from above.
They give us more than anyone else
Preaching the importance of love.
 
Moms are certainly God’s gift to Earth
So, if you still have one, let it be known.
You can’t imagine your life without her
While the seeds of your future are sown.

TO BE BLESSED BY MOTHERS
Darkness submits to the brightness of day
For all rich, famous or peasant.
God gives us love as a tool of endurance
For what is glorious, painful or unpleasant.
 
He gives us friends that mean so much
Though His greatest gift is our mothers.
From them we learn the guidance we need
Or from fathers, sisters and brothers.
 
How rewarding it is to share our concerns
Of the burdens that trouble man’s soul.
With words of love, passion and faith
With happiness and purpose our goal.
 
To be blessed by mothers elevates life
Projecting a radiance of grace to our face.
Like the heavenly bodies that illuminate the night
As we voyage through the vastness of space.
 
GOD LOVES GOOD MOMS
Millions of dewdrops greet the dawn
As hungry bees buzz the clover.
Dazzling butterflies flutter about
As moms give love the world over.
 
Lessons learned at our mother’s knee
Last a lifetime till we grow older.
Popping up when troubles accrue
Like a whispering angel on our shoulder.
 
Gods gives us friends that mean so much
Children, fathers, sisters and brothers.
Though far, far above all the rest
No one loves us more than our mothers.
 
In and out of friendships, jobs and partners
Our mothers always remain our evening star.
Those who were born to a selfish mom
Make the rest us realize how lucky we are.
 
How great life is to have a good mom,
Who reads what we feel but can’t say.
Nothing means as much, as her tender touch
And for all who are without one, “we pray.”

DADS AT WAR ON MOTHERS DAY - 2026??
Where would I be without you dad
My hero of night and day
I'm so glad you love my mother
And think of us when you pray

The last time we went to church
You reached for me with your hand.
I looked at you, then made a wish
That I might be just half the man.

I love my father of Earth
And I love my father of heaven.
It's a lot for me to love, you know
For I'm only eleven.

Mom and I sure miss you
Since you left to defend our flag.
When others ask, where’s your dad
We can't help but cry not brag.

The prize jewels of any nation
Are the philosophers of the heart.
How they think is universal
For its God who makes them so smart.

Most poets tell the truth of life
Though they may wrap it in beauty.
It's their passion, not their purpose
To compose is but their duty.

Poets have no reason to lie
When the truth is always so clear.
All that others say and do
Is but food for the poet's ear.

One merit of a poet's work
Which most cannot deny.
They say more and in fewer words
To illuminate you and I.

God sent His poets down to Earth
With words of wisdom and of worth.
That they might touch the souls of men
And bring them back to Him again.

Poetry is the lighthouse of life
Guiding the lost from a stormy sea.
Without its presence darkness prevails
Keeping us from all we can be.

Poems are used to convey passion
By poets of both good and evil mood.
Some are hateful others loving
Sharing thoughts to be consumed as food.

Verse can lead us to glory or doom
As we partake with others within.
Depicting our past, present and future
With words of man’s grace or sin.

People write poetry because they have no choice
Answering to the call of their gift.
Where some tend to pull their readers down
Others compose to give them a lift.

Always remember the power of poetry
Is used by both Heaven and hell.
It’s up to us to choose our pleasure
As poetry remains alive and well.

The wise listen to increase their learning
Where the scorners of wisdom close their mind.
The hearts of the prudent gather knowledge
For a soul without grace becomes confined.

Our knowledge can help us fulfill our dreams
Though most of the time with wisdom comes grief.
For knowledge removes our veil of ignorance
Exposing within the liar or thief.

A wise mind is a fountain of life;
To teach others it's knowledge before death.
Wisdom is too hard for fools to retain
Who curse their fellows with spiteful breath.

Fill yourself with love and understanding,
For wisdom makes the human face shine.
Knowledge is stronger than weapons of war
While on ignorance, fools continue to dine.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet
More than the loud shouts of screaming fools.
Wisdom and knowledge cause stability
In the lives of those who use them as tools.

We should shun with wisdom that which is evil
And glorify with knowledge that which is good.
Better is the gift of learning then gold
For by virtue we become what we should.
