Caged
People began bidding for a confined bird on a ledge
A poor bird in a iron cage.
No one knows this birds age.
It was the pleasing color of sage.
The sea was in a constant rage.
Everyone was afraid of standing near the outside stage.
The bird went to the highest bidder for a high price.
The auctionor asked him what he was going to do with the bird?
The owner of the bird set it free.
So it could fly from tree to tree.

I wonder
I stood there waiting for his silent complaisance.
The blue birds sing in a small voice.
My moon hangs in the sky like burning ice.
In my embarrassment I have to look at the wood floor twice.
The lights all around us in the dark feel nice.
The wind blows the sea to the surface.
His gray suit has a most rugid appearance.
My long blue dress flows with his slow pace.
I find his words taking me to a different place.
Passion fills his beastlike face.

Failure
Peoples failures always ends. A dream never ends. No matter how hard it is leave it in Gods hands. Remember people have forgetful minds. Never give up my friends. Sorrow time always mends. Your dreams keep souring on the air before. Keep on going on a dare. Its people like you who get up even though others say failure. Forget about it because someday others wont care. You shall be the one strong enough to stay there. Your courage is so rare. God is there even when other people stare. You may feel lonely but you have a friend to which no one can compare. Whe it all turns out you are not a failure. You kept on going on my dare.

Every Turkey
Every Turkey wants to be a cow.
If they had it their way right now.
Every Turkey should immediately hide.
They should not ask a stranger for a ride.
Every Turkey should not give up a fight.
When the farmer trys to hold them tight.
Every Turkey should run real fast.
All of them are competing to be the very last.
Every Turkey should make a lot of noise.
So The farmers joy can't be immense.
Every turkey wishes you were a vegetarian.
Us turkey lovers are just not that mean.
Every Turkey is not able to say Happy Thanksgiving.
They are all to busy giving.

Less traveled
Ruth followed Naomi into poverty. She stayed even though her sisters in law left. On the road less traveled. David became a young king. He almost got killed by king Saul. Who was jealous. David was Gods chosen one. On the road less traveled. Jesus was rejected by all even his own. Yet he died on a tree to save sinners and rose again so any one who repents can be immortal. On the road less traveled. Job had a lot of horrible things happen to him all around the same time. Yet he did not curse God and die. On the road less traveled. God helped Esther save all of her people. She is the living proof that God has a time for everything. On the road less traveled.

Fitting in
Have you ever felt like the last piece of the puzzle?
A piece that did not fit in because it was too different or little.
No matter what you can't fit in because something sets you apart.
What if everyone abandoned you.
Maybe you aren't pretty, handsome or smart.
You might not like going along with the crowd.
If so you have a reason to be proud.
Whats more important fitting in or giving in?
God has a place where you can fit in.
God can give you more joy than you can hold.

Walk
You and I are out for a walk with the dog.
The night is as silent as a log.
The trees blow eerily in the wind.
The moon is as bright as ice.
Right now I feel the urge to take your hand.
Yuck my dog just ate a slug.
This gives me an excuse to ask you for a hug.
We walk by the houses that are so bright.
Its hard to think that they are a part of the night.
I try to stay close to you as we turn right.

Sequoia Trees
Trees so long that it makes a city look small.
Yet they make the Empire state building look tall.
People can climb this massive trees in the winter or the fall.
I saw pictures of people climbing one Sequoia like a mountain.
One of these days I want to climb a Sequoia tree.
I think these trees will last until the end of time.
No one should ever cut them down in their prime.
The Sequoias bark is so thick that it protects itself against fire.
They can last long winters in the Sierra.
Thick bark serves both causes which makes it unwilling to expire.

Alone isn't forever
Once upon a time.
There was girl all alone.
She ordered everything by phone.
All of her potted rose bushes stood in a perfect line.
In the middle of her living room grew a big fury pine.
She trembled everytime she opened the door.
She was not scared to be poor.
She was a writer afraid to explore.
Her books and keyboard were an escape.
Even so the stars still reminded her of hope.

Your Angel
You said I was your angel.
It had to do with the wonderful way I made you feel.
I do not think I am an angel.
If I am an angel its only because Gods work is real.
I can't wake up from a dream that's real.
God took this bitter heart and made it heal.
God is the only one who can make me care about people.
