New Year??.......

As this year winds down and comes to an end

a new year is chomping at the bit to began.

We will remember times both bad and good

and all the stories of our neighborhood.

We will remember all those loved ones past

and remind ourselves that life moves way too fast

to not tell those people that we love and adore

that we will be there for them forevermore.

So as the year kicks in and begins anew

we'll remember fondly those we knew

and with cherished memories will bid adeiu

to this last year leaves us and one begans anew

Holidays are for......

The holidays are more to me

then Christmas lights

and festive presents under the tree

They're more than quality

time with the family

they're about the birth

of a man who gave his life for you and me

Everyone should remember

the greatest sacrifice

A father could ever make

to send his only son to give his life

and all the world's sin on his shoulder's take

Thank you lord for everyday

and allowing us this holiday

to string the lights that shine through the night

thank you for the presents under the tree

and quality time with friends and family

and the greatest sacrifice in history.

"F" is for......

The world is filled with words, that are daily given

but one that should be said more is "you're forgiven"

We've all made mistakes along our chosen paths

But never enough to incur other's unending wraths.

I for one know that I'm not perfect or sin free

does that give the world the right to disdain me

I am who I am and wear my skin comfortably

because I know in my soul my lord's forgiven me

So let other's pass judgement as they walk pass by

I just keep walking forward, may even smile and say "hi"

for they are the one's watched intently by God's eye

For they can't forgive themselves and it makes him cry.

We need to let go and move on from the past

how long do we need to make our own suffering last

let's all try to remember that intentions were good

and that forgiven is not necessarily a bad word.

PILLS By Terry Krueger

So as I do "care and maintenance" with true conviction

I ask myself if these pills are my new addiction
Isn't it wrong that I follow doctors orders with dedication
if I fear a dependency on their very medication.

I don't want to cure one to contract a new disease
especially one that brings me to bagging on my knees
for one more round of pain medication
to dull the common sense of my street education.

That screams at my soul that I've become addicted
to the pills that come from prescriptions
from the people who are only trying to help me through
if only, if only they knew the awful truth.


That my body may be hard wired to addictions
from all drugs and not just prescriptions
that the solutions may be the problems
and all the meds in the world won't solve them.

I pray to God each and everyday
that the doctors may find another drug free way
to keep the monster at bay and me disease free
without the need for chemical dependency
.

I know they know what they're doing and in them I trust
for I am a novice to disease control and I simply must
go with what they say with unimpeded dedication
and continue to take my daily medication.

Wrote this several months ago but as they add more and more medications
I feel my body needs a medicine free vacation.
hope this inspires those who need it most
and someday in the future we'll all be able to toast
to a drug free life and a brighter future
full of love life and nurture.

"E" is for.....

Emotion comes from many different sources

Depending how long or where the course is

Emotion can come from a great devotion

Feeling love for people who helped the healing

Well wishing those who didn't would go to hell

Love for unseen spirits living up above

Hate for the ones messing with your fate

Yes emotion is a tricky thing

One day you feel like nothing

the next you feel like a king

I am proud to say I'm an emotional man

because without them I wouldn't be who I am.
