“Little Brother”

Little brother sitting across from me,

Off in his own little world,

Staring at nothing.

Little brother standing next to me,

Tightly squeezes my hand,

As he goes off into the world.

Little brother on the phone with me,

Telling me of how he’s in love,

Of how he’s ready to commit.

Little brother standing before me,

Giving me a hug,

Thanking me for everything.

Little brother sitting across from me,

Off in his own little world,

Staring at nothing.

LIFE IS LIKE A PUZZLE

 Life is like a puzzle,

Color makes all the difference.

A one-color puzzle wouldn’t be very interesting.

Thank goodness, God gave us color.

Life is like a puzzle.

But some people like a one-color puzzle.

Others like only a two-color puzzle.

But I prefer a multi-color puzzle.

Life is like a puzzle. 

Imagine a world with just blues or greens.

Perhaps reds or yellows or purples.

Browns or blacks or oranges.

 Life is like a puzzle.

Just one color is awfully plain.

Try some red with your blue.

Or how about purple with your orange.

Life is like a puzzle.

Color makes all the difference.

Maybe now you’ll add some more colors to your life.

Thank goodness, God gave us color.

HE AND SHE

All I ever hear from their room is yelling.

Nothing is quiet when He gets home.

She yells right back at him.

Why won’t they stop fighting?

My friend, who lives on the top most floor,

Can hear them yelling on second floor.

My friend says He beats her,

And She hits him back.

The doorman says,

They have been fighting ever since they moved in.

I’m surprised they haven’t broken up.

They should have a long time ago.

Tony, the bellboy, says,

I ain’t going up there if He’s home.

He just yells at me for no reason.

She just lets him do it.

Tina, her friend, tells me,

They were never meant to be together.

He was having an affair,

With her sister.

Tara, his sister, agrees with Tina.

Only Tara says it was Tina He was

Having the affair with.

Which gets Tina and Tara yelling.

Then Tyler, her brother, says

It was my sister having an affair with

The best man,

His best friend.

But Tara says,

There is no way my boyfriend,

Would have an affair with His fiancée.

There just is no way.

 Why won’t they stop fighting?

From everything I heard,

Perhaps they both had an affair.

Why don’t they just get a divorce?

Christmas

The children dance with anticipation,

As the Christmas story is read.

For the little kids,

Can't wait to open the presents.

 One little girl opened her present,

And was surprised to find the doll she had wanted.

Her eyes started to fill with tears.

The little boy next her opened his present,

He looked in the box to see the train he had wished for.

He smiled through his tears.

The mother looked at them,

Known the presents weren't much.

She had hoped they'd be enough,

To make the children happy this Christmas day.

The father smiled at his children,

As he remembered the Christmas' of his past.

He knew that they would cherish their presents,

As it was rare to get something as nice as those.

That Christmas the children realized,

That even though they didn't get a lot of presents,

Their parents loved them and would do what they could,

To get the children what the wanted for Christmas.

A SIMPLE RING

A simple ring,

just a band of silver,

with a red stone.

A simple ring,

made by a tradesman,

for a queen.

A simple ring,

thought to be lost,

forever on this earth.

A simple ring,

found by a merchant,

and made ready to sell.

A simple ring,

caught the eye of a man,

that bought the ring.

A simple ring,

bought by a man,

for his loved one.

A simple ring,

the man gave,

to his wife to be.

A simple ring,

the woman wears,

as a wedding band.

A simple ring,

just a band of silver,

with a red stone.
