Hang On
In these times of sorrow and pain,
Where is the love and joy we gain?
The hurting is a way of life,
So each day brings sadness and strife.
What in the world is going on?
We should live each day with a song.
Why can't people just get along?
Having love and happiness wrong?
We were created to live true.
God does not want us to be blue.
We must talk to one another,
Not just father or mother.
More than a brother we should stick,
Communication we won't kick.
Today and tomorrow we dream,
Fulfilling a purpose, we beam.
Yes, tomorrow will come the joy.
We can skip and holler, 'O boy!'
So we can hang on for the time,
It won't even cost us a dime.
So many people find it difficult to just get through each day. There are so many problems that exit to try and cope with. But each of us have the hope that tomorrow will be better. That will happen only if we, as a human race, communicate with each other and show the love and caring that God intended for us and for all creation. Only by listening to his Word will we find the true happiness and purpose in life we seek.

And believe you me, nothing is worse
Than this big

How does life exist outside my window?

The danger of solitude?
I sit alone in this sometimes
I'm sitting on my porch steps with the urge to cry-
waiting for the phone to ring, ready to die.
The stomach tosses and turns
Where is this place called Dignity
Where is this place called dignity?
There was a time I thought I knew
with certainty,
