Gone Fishing

 

Fishermen cast out their nets 

We all in turn go fishing 

Some will use a rod and line 

While others fish by wishing

Some wish for so many things

 Like numbers in a line 

If the line is lacking some 

Next time they say that’s fine

Others fish for gossip 

So they can tell to others 

No escape for anyone 

Not even someone’s brothers

Fishing for a missing sock 

The washer won’t release 

Hiding out behind the drum 

With fluff and bits of fleece

You see we all go fishing 

Not always using bait 

Just cast a line for what you want

 Then settle down and wait

I Know why the caged bird sings

I know why the caged bird sings.
For the sign of hope that tomorrow brings.

I know why the caged bird won't fly.
Because he rests on the soul of life
and if he flies away he will surely die.

But tell me please, oh someone please,
please tell me because I just don't understand
why that one little caged bird cries.
Is he sad, is he lonely, is he discombobulated?

That poor little caged bird is lost on the road.

Would someone please show him which way to go.
I know why the caged bird sings.
For a sign of faith that tomorrow brings.

Wonder Why We Ever Go Home

Years grow shorter, not longer
The more you’ve been on your own
Feelin’s for movin’ grow stronger S
o you wonder why you ever go home
Wonder why you ever go home

People are movin’ so quickly
Humor’s in need of repair
Same occupations and same obligations
They’ve really go nothing to share
Like drivin’ around with no spare

River gets deeper not shallow
The further you move down the stream
 Wonderin’ if I can keep her
As I race to catch up with my dreams
How they shine and glitter and gleam

Years grow shorter, not longer
The more you’ve been on your own
Feelin’s for movin’ grow stronger
So you wonder why you ever go home
Wonder why you ever go home
You wonder why you ever go home

Colors of Life

Life is like crayons,
That gives attractions,
It is filled with colors and meanings,
And so interesting...

Life is like a rainbow,
That others doesn't know,
It is full of excitement and glow,
Which will be remembered all day long...

From beginning till ending,
From sadness to happiness,
From failure to success.
GOD is always with us...here...there...and everywhere.

'The colors of life will bring a shining light dreams...'

My First Train Experience

 

Life’s Railway

Life is a lot like a railway
As we travel along through time
Clickety clacking along our way
A good life we seek to find

We pass through many places
Meet folks both good and bad
Have experiences along the way
Many happy but some are sad

Some of the places we travel
We never plan to return
But others stay in our memory
Good lessons we have learned

We never know what we will see
All we can do is take it day by day
Doing the very best we can
As we travel life’s exciting railway!

I’m Selling Dreams

Ladies and gentlemen from the city!

I have a special proposal for you.

You mustn’t miss the opportunity -

Today I am selling dreams that come true!

Prick up your ears and line up here.

You really won’t pay dearly for them.

Nothing is at a high price – don’t fear!

You can afford them – It’s a real gem!

I can choose diverse dreams for each of you

And find something special for broken hearts,

For the disappointed – today it’s new –

This sort is limited in several parts!

Watch out! Don’t push your way and mind your turn!

I can’t manage to pull them off a shelf.

I am tired but happy – my cheeks burn...

Stop! I have to keep a dream for myself...

True Spirituality

The master was asked,"What is spirituality?"

He said, "Spirituality is that which succeeds in bringing one to inner transformation."

"But if I apply the traditional methods handed down by the masters, is that not spirituality?"

"It is not spirituality if it does not perform its function for you. a blanket is no longer a blanket if it does not keep you warm."

"So spirituality does change?"

"People change and needs change. So what was spirituality once is spirituality no more. What generally goes under the name of spirituality is merely the record of the past methods."

Don't cut the person to fit the coat.
