Holding my dear child,
Close to my chest,
We’re holding strong to her hand,
As she takes her first steps.
Her first day of Kindergarten,
Such a day for her.
Though papa cried,
He’ll be all right.
My baby’s growing up,
Daddy’s watching HER.
Oh baby girl!
Its 2:30 in the morning,
She just got home,
Her hair is pink,
Don’t know where she’ll roam!
Teaching her to drive,
Trying to stay calm.
My baby’s growing up,
Daddy’s watching HER.
Oh baby girl!
She just graduated,
Threw up her hat.
She’s moving on,
To find a home to own.
Our hearts are aching, as she kisses us good-bye,
Our bird just left the nest and is learning to fly.
My baby’s growing up,
Daddy’s watching HER.
Oh baby girl!
Walking down the aisle holding hand in hand,
Her dress gleaming walks to her man.
Two boys and a baby girl,
Her house getting full.
Taking in a new job,
Her husbands leaving town.
My baby’s growing up,
Daddy’s watching HER.
Oh baby girl!
Hoped to hold her once more,
Before I shut my eyes.
Life is a highway don’t know where it ends,
The golden arches are opening again.
Its time for me to go, to rest away,
It’s okay!
My baby’s growing up,
Daddy’s still watching HER.
Oh baby girl!
Keep your head up high,
Bloom up with your eyes open.
Live your life happily,
Before it fades away!
Take new roads,
Live up to all your dreams,
My baby’s growing up,
Daddy’s still watching HER.
Oh baby girl!

The Wind
I was inside the bushes,
I was inside the trees.
I blew beside the houses,
I swayed in the alleys.
My body was following,
Though no one seems to see!
I am everywhere you strive to be,
I come in cool and go out hot,
I am each breath and cool breeze,
Inside the body or a pot.
Night and Day you live with me,
But never seem to see.
Tree leaves twisting,
Prairies curling.
Hot steam,
Tornadoes whirling.
I shake and move what you can see,
But only look at them not me!
Don’t waste my breaths,
Don’t waste the air.
I am inside you,
I am everywhere!
So take the time to see my actions,
Prove to me you really care!
I was inside the trees.
I blew beside the houses,

My body was following,

Inside the body or a pot.
Night and Day you live with me,
But never seem to see.
Tree leaves twisting,
Prairies curling.
Hot steam,
Tornadoes whirling.
I shake and move what you can see,
But only look at them not me!
Don’t waste my breaths,
Don’t waste the air.
I am inside you,
I am everywhere!
So take the time to see my actions,
Prove to me you really care!

Mother Nature
Lightning strikes throughout her hair,
She decorated the Earth that we share.
Her emotions flood all over town,
Disasters occur if she doesn’t calm down.
When her tears fall, we feel the rain.
Our souls are taken through all of her pain.
Tornadoes, lightning, mud slides and hail,
Powerful storms formed by each powerful wail.
When she’s happy and calm,
The sun brightly shines from her left palm.
Rainbows and stars line her chest,
Then birds sing their songs as they fly from the nest!
When she is calm and at rest,
Her nature land is at its best.
We feel settle and happy too,

Cat's got Your tongue!
Cats Got Your Tongue
“Oh Beatrice, I need to talk to you!”
“What’s wrong dear Sylvia?
“Why are you so sad?”
“ Margaret has died, the poor thing.”
“Oh how did this happen?”
“ She died from suffocation, her lung was clogged!”
“ Oh, the poor dear, how old was she?”
“She was 75 years old.”
“ My, I am so sorry.”
“ Yah, yesterday, Frank buried her in the front lawn!”
“ I know you are in rough times, but don’t you think you should have a burial like cremation or coffin wise?”
“ Well Frank said, he would have just thrown her in the trash, and that I should be proud he even dug her a hole!”
“ My what nerve he has to treat her like that.”
“ Everyone can see how much she meant to you.”
“ Well thank you for the tea Beatrice, I am off to the pet store to go get a cat!”
“ Oh how come?”
“ I just said Margaret died, I would like another cat to have as a companion!”
“ Ah yes, your cat Margaret!”
“ What a pity, now the poor dear won’t come poop in my yard everyday”
“ I am truly going to miss her!”
“ Ah well, thank you for your sympathy!”
“ But, I just wanted to tell you that Frank had buried our cat in your yard!”
“Oh why?”
“Well you were the only one who had pretty flowers to put over her grave!”
“ I see, so you picked the flowers and put them over her grave?”
“ No, Frank just wrapped them around her legs,
see there sticking out of that pile of dirt in your front window!”
“ Oh my!”
“ Well have a fine day, good-bye Beatrice!”
“Bye”
Next day:
“Beatrice, what are you doing with that trash can?”
“ Oh, just pulling some weeds my dear!”
“But, Margaret’s grave it’s gone”
“ Oh, my I thought that was a big weed, the poor fellow! Why when I picked her up she was just a pile of sticks!”
“Ohhhh…”
“ Well don’t worry, she has left to a better place!”
“ Yes, heaven, god has taken good care of her!”
“Well I meant she can now chomp down on all sorts of mice at the landfill, but that works too! Well good-bye!”
“Bye….

As God is My Witness....
Alfred bishop was a 27yr. old man with Attention Deficit Disorder. Unlike most people, Alfred loves to watch old movies and can remember every line. Alfred lives in the Peace and Love shelter in Wyatt Oklahoma.
Jacqueline Morris is a 23 yr. old college graduate, who just was given a job at the shelter. Her job is to take patients on drives and adapt them to new things.
Today was Jacqueline’s first day on the job, she was driving down the dirt rode in her 1972 Buick GS 350 Convertible. She was now singing to I’m Bringing Sexy Back, while she pulled in the shelter’s driveway. A sudden smack hit the car, Jacqueline ran out of the vehicle screaming, “Oh My God”. The man got up and started lecturing her on watching the road, Jacqueline was furious. She marched the man into the Patrol office of the Shelter. Jacqueline was just about ready to scream when her boss Margie walked out the door. Margie looked suddenly and said, “Oh, good you met Alfred, I want you to take him out for the day, but make sure he is back by 8pm.” Jacqueline huffed as she marched Alfred back out the door.
Alfred got into the convertible, Jacqueline said, “Gees, I never thought I would be driving a guy somewhere, who just got hit by my car. That is besides the hospital!” Alfred just yelled, ““My momma always said life was like a box of chocolates…you never know what you're gonna get.” “Forest Gump played by Tom Hanks!” Jacqueline uncertain of what he meant continued down the road.
Alfred sat and hummed, whistled, snapped, and all other things that would annoy a driver. Jacqueline tried to ignore him, but just as they passed some road kill, Alfred frantically asked, “ Is your clock broke?” Jacqueline tried to figure out what he meant, but just shyly said, “No, Its 2:15” Alfred mumbled and then answered, “Either he's dead, or my watch has stopped. A day at the races” Jacqueline tried to figure out the meaning of these peculiar phrases when he started crying like a two yr. old. “ He’s Dead isn’t he, I could have died, but that critter did die, didn’t he!” Jacqueline could barely understand him beside his moaning cry.
“Okay Alfred,” Jacqueline said calmly. “ Do you want me to call and tell them I am bringing you back?” Alfred looked up, “ Um yah, yah, um yah, E. T phone home, yah, E.T phone home!” “ Okay,” Jacqueline pulled over to a nearby phone station and called the shelter.
Jacqueline came back outside to the car where she left Alfred and he was gone. Jacqueline ran down the street and found Alfred looking at the street lights that said ‘DO NOT WALK.’ “ Alfred,” Jacqueline grabbed him just as he yelled, “May the force be with you.” “ Okay Alfred its raining now and we need to get into the car to go home so come on.” Jacqueline said as she pushed him in the right direction. By the time they reached the car both of them were wet. Alfred jumped in and said, “Let's get out of these wet clothes and into a dry Martini.”” Said in Every Day's a Holiday, spoken by Mae West.” “ I Love that movie,” Jacqueline exclaimed. “ Do you watch it often?” Alfred proudly looked into her eyes and said, “ Yah, Saturday Night Fever!” Jacqueline just laughed and drove back down the way to the shelter.
“Fasten your seat-belts, it's going to be a bumpy night. All About Eve.” Alfred laughed. “Would you like me to give you a towel or dry shirt?” Jacqueline asked. “Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." “Clarke gable in Gone with The wind.” That was my mothers all time Favorite movie, how many movies do you know” Jacqueline resumed in a fair conversation.” Oh, I love movies um a whole lot of them, yah.” Alfred said in immediate attention.
After a long trip of laughs and memories, Jacqueline pulled into the shelter and said, “I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Alfred smiled and walked in the door hand in hand with her. “There's no place like home!"
Margie walked up to them and said, “Well now tomorrow, Alfred you will get another chance to go with Jacqueline, so hurry up to your room and get a good rest.” Alfred walked up to her and then looked back and said, “After all, tomorrow is another day!"
From that point forward, Jacqueline drove Alfred wherever he wanted to go everyday for 26yrs straight. At the age of 53, Alfred passed away and on his grave are the words, “ Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings” upon the marker is a little bell that chimes in the wind! Just as he said many times, ‘ may the forces be with you!’

I Only Like That!
I only like what I like,
Anything else, give to mike.
I like donuts and ice cream
Give me broccoli and I will scream.
Chicken nuggets or Mac and cheese,
I like these foods pass them here please.
I do want a brussel sprout,
Place it on my plate and I will pout!
Mangoes and oranges may be sweet,
But they are not my kind of treat.
Milk or water do not please,
But crystal punch will set me at ease.
Wait…
This is ALL I get to eat,
If I eat it, I get a TREAT!
Ok, chomp, yum, mmm..
