LABEL MAKERS, MAN TO STAMP MAN
[LABELMAKER]

I COLOR IN BETTER, WHEN LOVE IS USES
IT DOES NOT SMEAR, LIKE CRAYON I NOW
IT MAY BE BLUE, YET IT IS STILL LOVE TO ME.
IT HAS ALL THE COLORS, I CAN SEE
THE ONES GOD GAVE TO YOU AND ME.

LABEL MAKERS

There are
Labels for Man

He Sticks it on Life
Calls it Right

He Names it all
To Identify Himself

What is Man
A Label in Hand

Ready To Mark
His Fellow Man

I'll Label You Black

I'll Label You White

I'll Label You Red

I'll Label You Right

I'll Color it all

To Match Your Life..

TODAY'S OUTLOOK

If
you can keep
your smile,

Today
won't hurt
so much

If
you can keep
your outlook,

Today
won't be so blue

If
you can keep
your chin up,

Today
won't see
the ground

If
you can keep
your best side
showing,

Today
won't let
you down

If
you can keep
it all together,

Tomorrow
will have
a better view

If
you can keep
the worst
from winning,

Today
will be
your lucky day..

A THOUGHT!

One see's dark
when
they are
in the shadows

One see's clear
when
they see both
black and white

One see's better
when
God is there
to view.

Dedicated To Cristal

Love A Poeatreeman

One day I hope,
One day I wished

One day I prayed,
Will I get my wish?

One answer for it all

Take what is given,
make it the best for all.

THE KEYS
[GOODNIGHT]

THE KEY TO LIFE IS TO FIND YOUR TREASURES
THE WEALTH IS NOT THE GOLD
TO GIVE TO ALL, THAT YOU MAY HAVE
ONE TEAR WILL FILL YOUR TREASURE
ONE SHARED WILL BE AS GOLD
ONE TEAR TO TOUCH A SOUL
ONE SMILE WILL TURN TO GOLD
ONE LOVE IS WEALTH UNTOLD.
ONE HEART WILL BE YOUR GOAL
ONE WORLD TO HOLD FOREVER.
ONE PRAYER, WE ARE ALL TOGETHER.
ONE PEACE, NOT TO WARS EVER.
ONE CAN ONLY HOPE,
I WISH IT WAS BETTER.

THE KEYS

Let me Teach you Life
Then you will have the Keys

Let me show you how to Unlock
Then you can open up your Heart

Let me give you Wisdom
Then you will be Wise
in what you See

Let me give you Hardship
For the Key is what you do

Let me give you Weakness
For Strength will hold the Key

Let me give you Patience
For the Key will turn to Gold

Let me give you Faith
For it will Open up the Gate

Let me give you one Time
To find the Keys to Life

For if you Know where it is
It will
Open the Door to Everlasting Life.

A THOUGHT!

No Key will open the Heart like Love
Care is always Opened to Love

The only Key that is trying to lock Love out
Is the Hate we put in our Hearts

Only God has all the Keys
Knock at His door He is always there

For when you Open yours He will be there.
With The KEYS.

AN EARLY MORNING SOLITUDE

Has
the Beauty
of the Day

To
Find Yourself

Where
the Sun is Cutting

Through
the Trees

Watching

The
Painting
of the Morning

By
the Sun's
Golden Rays

To
Reach down
and Touch You

Feeling
the Warmth
of Day

To
Think about
What
is Coming

In
this
Very
Special Day

Meditating
upon
the Light

Shining
Through
the Trees

Reflecting
like
a Prism

When
it Touched
upon
the Leaves

To
See
All
of God's
Beauty

When
the Morning
Breaks
the Day.

God Wakes me

God wakes me
Each day I am here.

I rise with the morning
To hear His songs play
The wind that is whistling
Through the trees.

The birds

Singing in the right keys.

The harmony of nature.

When it follows God's plans.

The hope that Mankind
will find His way through




The songs that will be sung
Is all up to you.

Nature will follow
Her own way through
Mankind can help
When He keeps in Tune.

A THOUGHT!

One Key to Knowledge
don't Lock the Door
One Key to Wisdom
be willing to Learn

Dedicated to All

For God Wakes Us
Each Day We are Here

A CHOICE TO MAKE

If
I hear a Song
I do not like

Be
happy
that
I can hear it twice

If
I do not like
what I am playing

Change
the record now

See
who wrote
the lines to it

Know
there are
two sides to it

One
label
which side now?

Right
or Wrong
its your play now.

I live in God's House

For one day
I hope to be with Him.

Until I do
I must make the best
For this is where,
I must learn the rules.

To take not
but share in all
To give love,
when they're
holding up a gun.

To hate not
even
the wrongness done.

To let God
handle all that I can't.

To give me the wisdom
of what I must do
To pray for the World,
that we may be one.

To not lose reason
of why I am here
To live this life,
the best I can.

To stay
in God's House
until He calls
To keep my faith,
when all seems wrong.

As it was Before.

What Broken Vessels

Or just
