A street of dreams broken in two

For in your faults

I still love you

Living without you I can not see

Fore I love you more than words could say

More than an orchid that lives in beauty

Loving you is all I see

Love under the moonlight

For I was reaching for the moon

Because I love you to the moon

Stars encircling our love

As I live in you

All set within the heart

I live

Love

And laugh

Within your beauty

Once more

Brushing your feet at the door

Your are the night sky

Sunshine without rain

Together we reach for the stars

Seeing the passions in your eyes

I got you and you got me

Together forever

We shall always be

Trolly travels a life in journey

You in me and me in you

I got you and you got me

I got me and you’ve got you

Together we run in paradise

The eversense of life

The innocence of love

No one can measure up to your limits

For all my love forever grows in you

River running free

Bringing out the nature in me

Butterflies shimmer in the sun

Dragons in the dawn flying overhead

Sun coming up brightening the lands

Breeze bringing out the whispers in the winds

This is a new world I see

It’s a new life coming over me

Sleeping in the peace now within me

It’s a new life ahead

Scent of the dawn on the flowers

Caught in the breeze

As the dew begins to cover all the earth

This is a new life for me

Peaceful dreams filling the path

That lead back to you in time

A song of freedom

In this I see

This the peaceful freedoms in me

It’s supernatural in delight

I hear music when I think of you

I melt in my steps

Slipping in the sunlight

Sun is sweet music is true

Watching you in dance I become charmed

The words speak truth

Songs of love

Stars fill the sky

Bright in the night

I was a fool before

But that life wasn’t me

I find a life where I am free

Prayers released

No more burdens I carry

My faith is strong

This is a new life for me

Tiny Trixy
Taught theology
To Thomas Todder
Through the tunnels
The traveled
Through the Night
Stars shining bright
True stories of the king
Centuries passed
Becoming history to this day
With five hundred million Bibles sold
Five billion printed
Worlds greatest words
History being born
Salvation be given and made
Tiny Trixy
Teaches Thomas Todder
Trivially throughout time

I lift my voice God

For you alone are my strength

I can’t cry

Only a tear drops from my eyes

In such trialing times

I should be more intimate

I can’t cry

Only a tear drops from my eye

Intense sorrow overwhelms

Bliss wiped away and gone

Blessed be your name in all the earth

Holy is your voice

On a road marked with suffering

For a price I can never repay

A ransom you paid

I can’t cry

Only a tear drops from my eyes

Still I say blessed be your glorious name

In the moments
Heat rising
Sweat boiling down his neck
He feels the rush
And the movements
Though he still moves at full force
Sweat pouring over his face
For he knows this could be intended for more
A soldier lays helpless on the floor
His hand grasped around his chest
Weapon still in hand
He knows at any moment the could awake and it’d be his own last breath
Putting his own life at stake
he reaches for the gun
His only chance of escape
Intertwining fingers lifting and prying away as his breathing becomes rapid and racing away
This is his last chance for becoming a real man
He grabs the gun and radio too
For he knows he must do all he can do for saving this soldier who lays lifeless on the floor
So he turns the radio to channel twelve
Sending out signal for help
Knowing that he had to run before he’d be found
For enemies or not he’d fall in blame
When in the distance he hears a sound as he turns to face away there stands a child in tears and alone
He knows he has to run towards the sound but what will come of the child with no family or home
He whispers shhh and picks the child up
Who’s crying and alone
And takes that child also towards the sound
He shoots a flare gun high in the sky
Knowing that this could save their lives
A helpful chopper of his own kind is seen on the horizon and heard nearby
In this moment it was time to pray
For this was his moments of life and death for he and the little child he picked up along the way
The moments of fear only one going through can describe
Sweat now soaking even his clothes as fear wonders if they will be saved
For even the chopper ahead still has a fight for life to clear way and get to him
And what to come of the child
Moments of fear rush in again
The chopper makes it overhead
And drops a net for him to safely climb aboard
He lifts the child above his head as he climbs and safely makes it inside
safely in the chopper he thanks God and is glad to be going home again safe and with friends
In the moments unseen and freedom found

When we find ourselves in dangerous but desperate situations we tend to take to drastic measures and our thoughts race and hearts beat and we begin to face our fears sometimes in our very own life and death situations fears are never easy to surpass but easier to release in the end when all moments clearly seen and despair has been cleared emotions scrambling and bringing out to show your own true colors of your soul sometimes measures to save all being helpful is not always easy and sometimes can be very scary to face but helping someone always shows honor and brings comfort in the end

On a ship out to sea

A sailors life for me

Pirates set sail

To an island far away

A sailor I shall be

A sailors life for me

Set sail in day break ahead

Starboard side meets the winds

Pirates find land

Playing a pokers hand

Lies being formed and hidden of spite

Sailors honors to sail the wild seas

Starboard east to the rising sun

I’d rather be a sailor

A sailors life for me

Moto the Tiger

He was only three

And he was learning to ride a bike

A tiger on a bike you say

Well this tiger wasn’t just any tiger

He was a curious circus tiger

He was learning to ride a bike

When suddenly a beam broke

It fell from the tent

Headed right for the monkey and ring master

For they were unaware

So Moto jumped of the bike and ran to save the monkey and ring master

He shiver them out of the way with a hard push and then jumped forwards also

The monkey in fear not knowing what was going on jumped off thee ring masters shoulder and ran to hide

When the ring master saw the beam

He thanked Moto and gave him the star stage performances for the night

The ring master had much thanks for Moto saving his life

He wanted to pay him back in someway

This was what he could do

The ring master also presented Moto with the biggest, thickest, and juiciest peace of meat giving him thanksgiving for his rescue

Moto felt like a king for a day

He went to bed happy that night

You see when we do good we get good and thanksgiving in return

What are you thankful for?

Be sure to give others thanksgiving for the kind things they do as well

One day a boy was playing in the park

He was engaged in a sliding board making every trip down

His mom kept calling to him in all fun

His name was Shawn

Each day after school Shawn’s mother would take him to the park to play

This one day Shawn met Riley

Riley was new to town and he was very shy

He asked Riley to swing with him

But Riley had no reply

So Shawn just went to swing by himself

Shawn was disappointed

He wanted to have someone play with him

Later he asked Riley to climb the climber with him

But yet again Riley denied

Eventually it was time for Shawn to return home for supper so Shawn ran over to Riley and said I come everyday to play so maybe next time it was nice meeting you even if you didn’t play I need to leave now goodbye

As Shawn began to leave Riley yelled goodbye

Shawn turned and smiled knowing that even though he hadn’t gotten to play he brightened someone’s day

After returning home Shawn’s mom prepared dinner as Shawn talked about his day

So Shawn told his mom all about Riley and that he was new but he was shy

Afterwards the family ate supper and sent Shawn to do his homework

While Shawn was engaging in his homework he began to think about Riley and the park

As he finished his work he said a prayer for Riley

“Lord, you know Riley best please if I see him again help me know what to say to him to help him open up thank you lord”

Then he went to bed

His parents came in to tuck Shawn in and say goodnight

When they did Shawn asked his dad how he could get Riley to play with him

Riley’s father said in time if he plays it will be when the time is right he is new to the area son then he kissed his son goodnight

And Shawn went to sleep

Early the next morning Shawn jumped out of bed and threw on his clothes

He then ran downstairs to eat breakfast so that he could get to school

All he could think about was Riley

He finished his breakfast and ran out the door before his mom could even leave the kitchen

Surprised his mom met him at the car and asked Shawn what has you so ecstatic this morning

Shawn replied I want to go to school so that’s I can get to the playground and try again to see Riley and get him to play momma

With a smile on her face they both climbed into their seats in the car

After belting themselves into their seats Shawn’s mom turned on the radio and they traveled to school

When Shawn got to school he jumped out of the car and began to run ahead in when his mom grabbed him and stopped him in his tracks

Hey, not so fast youngster she said as she reached for a hug

Shawn reached out gave her his hug and kiss and ran off yelling bye momma I love you

The school day began

Shawn kept looking at the clock ticking away every hour awaiting his playground time to look for Riley

Time seemed to be moving so slow today

Hours by hours went by

But it just moved turtle speed

After lunch his excitement returned because he only had three classes after lunch being that he is only four

Time passed by fast this time as his excitement returned

Finally it was time for his mom to come

He ran back n forth peering through the window expecting his mother and sure enough there she was so the aid walked him out but he ran ahead

He jumped in the car and buckled quickly into his seatbelt

When he got to the playground Riley was there playing on the climber

Shawn ran over to the climber and began to climb yelling hi Riley

Riley turned to see Shawn and just looked away Shawn knew he had to find out what Riley likes so when they finished climbing Shawn asked Riley if he wanted to slide with him

Riley turned and for the first time responded sheepishly okay

So together they went to the slide

One by one the children all slid down

Then they met this boy Todd

Todd was not kind

Todd was being a bully and picky with the boys he would insult and mock all that the boys would do until one time he couldn’t find his mother so he gently turned to the boys frantic and panicking and said I don’t see my mom

Shawn knew that he had been mean to them but instead he knew he had to keep him calm so he offered to stay with him till he saw his mom so he said let’s go tell my mom maybe she can help so the three boys ran across the playground to Shawn’s mom to save Todd’s panicking

They explained to Shawn’s mom what was going on

Shawn’s mom reassured the boys that Todd’s mom I’m sure was present just at the moment not found

They waited with Shawn’s mother and all talked to calm Todd down some

As they were sitting there talking Todd kept searching for his mother

He was becoming very anxious

He again said Shawn’s mother, I cannot find her

With that his mother came out of the bathroom looking for him

He saw her and ran to her giving her a great big hug

Todd told his mother he was scared because he couldn’t find her but that Shawn’s mother kept telling him it would be okay

In hearing this Todd’s mother took Todd’s hand and went to meet and thank Shawn and Shawn’s mother

The two mothers spoke and Todd’s mother thanked them and continued talking Shawn smiled and said I know how easily it is being scared I didn’t want him scared

Again she thanked him and all made friends

Shawn,Todd and Riley went home that night all happy and returned the next day again to play

You see sometimes we bully people but then may need them when we most need them and sometimes they will refuse to help because they’ve been bullied in this case Shawn even though he was bullied by Todd he decided to take matters on himself and show his bully love and compassion instead and they and their mothers all quickly became friends

It was a day in the rain

Patriot was at his post

When a rainbow lit the skyline

To him it meant the world

For you see soldiers see everything

They go through it all

It was a hard day for patriot

So there at his post he stopped

There he stood in his glory

For to see a rainbow it calmed his soul

He was hard at work

During a long bitter day

You see he was a soldier by day

A nurse by night

He was on post by the field

Where they were training

When the rainbow appeared

He knew all would be alright that day

There had been no attacks

The barracks we quiet

Though the field was full of work

The day came to an end

As this soldier now had to go be a nurse in the medical unit

He went to his barracks to drop off his equipment and gear

Then he went to the mess hall

For after an already long day

He needed a good meal

While he ate his SOS he got

Also known as creamed beef

He noticed to cadets talking

But they weren’t just talking

They were whispers

He wondered what they were conversing

So as he finished his meal

He threw out his trash

Where he was close enough to introduce himself

So he walked over to the two cadets

There he stood as the cadets got defensive

What do you want soldier

The one cadet asked in a stern gruff voice

Patriot responded

Sir I only wanted to introduce myself

I know many on this unit

He explained

Many except you two

Pulling away the two began to turn to leave

Patriot said soldiers

Why do you shun me?

The two turned to him and said

Our names are Patrick and Starling

As they left patriot felt something

He knew something was not right

But unable to piece together anything yet he went on to work where he was a nurse

Just another regular busy day

The medical bay was busy as usual

So many illnesses, injuries and then there was a woman in labor

She was to be one of his patients

He walked over to her to check on her

When he got there he noticed that she was very distraught

He stood there for a minute

Then he said I am patriot

I will be your nurse for this shift

He said so all you need just ask

She looked at him and said

I’m Elizabeth

He said it’s an honor to meet you

He then went on to say

I couldn’t help but noticed that you seem to be distressed and not from the pregnancy

She sheepishly began to turn away

She then said I’m fine

He said ma’am you don’t seem fine

She again said I’m fine

So again he spoke

He said well if you need anything just ask

As he turned tor goto the papers he had to go through on his other patients

He started to walk away

But Elizabeth called him back

She said wait

He again turned towards her

And stuttered uh yes

As he walked towards her

She said I am distressed

I don’t tend to open up very well

Knowing she lied as he had thought

He asked why did you lie

Why did you not just tell me something was wrong but that you felt uncomfortable opening up

She said I was scared

He said lying will get you nowhere

He said have you ever heard the story

The Lying King

Elizabeth said yes

That’s the story about the lions

Patriot said not the lion king

This is The Lying King

She said bashfully

Stuttering u uh no

But I guess I’m going to learn about it

He continued

Yes I believe you are

We may disagree

But I want to be best for you and help you

So there was king who lied about everything

He said so many lies to his kingdom

So many lies that one day….

The kingdom turned against him

The people of the kingdom banished the king sending him far away

Far away for him to live all alone

You see lying doesn’t only hurt others

It can also hurt you

Lying is not a good thing to do

When you lie

You cause people to wonder if you ever tell the truth

You disappoint other people

You also cause people to stop trusting you

Something you tell others falsely or on purpose to hurt them are lies

Things that are lies are deceiving and dishonest

After being disappointed

People will think you always lie

This is not good

For one day you really may need true help and may ask for help and they won’t believe you when you most need it

You’ll be saying the truth but they won’t believe you when you need them to hear you and believe you

These tall tales

Lies

Start off small

But very quickly become very tall

So the moral of this story

Is that the king thought he was everything

He thought he ruled the kingdom so he could bully and deceive everyone and no none would know

Little did he know they’d find out he was lying about everything

And in turn he lost his crown

Hurting only himself

So think about that next time you want to lie Elizabeth said the nurse

And always apologize when you lye

It will hurt you most likely either way

Embarrassed Elizabeth said I see you’re correct

I’m sorry for lying

I won’t lie again

I’m just glad you didn’t lie about having any contractions for if you had I may not have believed you when you were in real active labor

I will be back to check on you

But now I have some papers I need to attend to

Elizabeth said Patriot, thank you

So you see when you lie it causes you more pain and hardships than you thought would come to you

Think before you speak next time

For it may be the last time someone listens to you
