Can’t Buy My Love
image source: google.com/images
My love you can not buy
as means of fear to quell
‘Cause the tears I cry
a wealth of pain do tell
There’s nothing you can try
to dam a bursting well
When it’s all been a lie
in the world you dwell
If inch by inch to die
in a life of living hell
Would my own soul deny
for the evil it’d spell
This I will not do
in any shape or way
No matter what bribe you
offer as means of pay
For what was never true
is no longer shaded gray
When threats did once ensue
your sins to never betray
There’s no excuse to use
for the nasty things you’d say
Payment for which comes due
upon your soul one day!

Staring Out The Window
(Image Source: google.com)
I’m staring out the window
on this day in December
and I find myself wishing
that it was still September
Outside it is so cold
although the sun is shining
and it’s for the warmth
that I find myself pining
Wind through the fir trees
out there is still blowing
and I am quite sure
have windmills behind me going
As I watch the trucks
go up and down the road
the sight of coming weather
crosses the ground freshly hoed
And makes me want the crops
put back in the field
as ’twas a few months ago
before giving up their yield
But as I well know
it is the time of season
for which my melancholy state
has no rhyme or reason
As I float on its winds
like those there blowing outside
I try to find a place
in my mind to hide
If only I could hibernate
until the coming of spring
I’d think it the greatest blessing
that God could to me bring
But that’s not how we’re made
so I’d better suck it up
and stop my sitting here staring
down at an empty coffee cup!

I just found this poem that I had written last month and forgot to post 
Daddy, Why?

Daddy, why is it that you
the truth can not ever see
When the reality of it is
that a father you’ll never be?
Oh daddy, why do you always
blame things you’ve done on me?
And come to think about it
you did the same to mommy.
Oh daddy, I really do hope
that there will come a day
When you will open your eyes
and see it in another way
For it’s what you have done
and the things that you say
Which have pushed me so far
that I just had to get away
And now you’ve turned your back
on your daughters one, two, three
As you cry out to the world
“How could they do this to me?! “
Oh daddy, I really do pray
you wake up to the reality
That this was never how
I wanted for it to be
But you can’t keep treating others
like they’re dirt under your feet
Daddy, I wish you could see
that it’s only yourself you defeat
When the time comes for you
the end of life to meet
Remember with God you’re alone
standing before His judgement seat!

For my three abandoned girls
I love you all, one, two, three!
The Child

One day a huge ogre came
putting our all knights to shame
who laid on each other the blame
but in truth were all the same
Then there walked straight into
the middle of this hullabaloo
a tiny babe age of two
who tapped his toe, asking “Shoe?”
The ogre looked down at her
as his wrath about to incur
but standing so petite and demure
with an innocent face ever pure
His heart melted in an instant
as to scare her he was hesitant
and now with his anger absent
a grin on his face was present
So ogre reached down instead
as away all the knights sped
he patted the darling girl’s head
“Let’s be friends!” he then said
So the moral of the story
is not all that you see
which may appear to be gory
is what it truly must be
For if with love you act
and you use a little tact
I have found it’s proven fact
will change how others react!

Limerick-Off Week 2 – A Bill
image source: google.com/images
A gal was upset by a bill
so she went and took a pill
would have given a sigh
but instead she got high
at the local corn liquor still.

A gal/guy was upset by a bill was the line we were given to start with this week
