Did you live ?

I speak of Nazareth, inconspicuous sleepy town 
people roaming about quietly without frown
I speak of Nazareth, quietest sleepy hollow
each person wandering around on the borrow
a sparkle one night sky at Bethlehem 
I speak of Bethlehem a gift to them

I speak of a boy for Mary a joy
a son in gods favour, born as the saviour
speak of a boy, a ruthless child
calming the lost, alone and wild
Jesus saves if you choose to be
free from the pain and strong as a tree


Down on the Farm

Down on the farm they spin a yarn
There is twine from the sheep, a blanket for sleep
Where the little children lay at peace 
Mother working, has carpets to sweep
The dust lay around from the struggle she keeps
Farmer comes home late after toiling the ground
Creeping in silently not making a sound
Crawls in bed, it is half past nine 
Clothes are still hanging on the washing line
Up at four o’clock the next day is new
Precious times now may be short or few
A love of strength, a hope in heart
The weather is grim yet rain doth start
Poppies bring hope, from an angels harp.

The Wild, Wild, West

The Oregon trail in west Texas, west. 
the host is the land, growing trees abreast
It bears the name wild.. the wild Wild West
always; will be known, as a state of no rest

They are passers by claiming the right 
then; will not give up without a fight 
grasping at soil, the bramble and hope
until comes an age, where they cannot cope

They will see, it’s wild with men
who seem fixated of where and when
cut each one down, in power and strength 
they will not stop til’, it’s ran it’s length 

Scourge of the land, the given host
kill all the creatures, though not the ghosts 
a new world will reclaim, what once was free
new peace, new beasts, oh!; those blossoming trees.







A Working Man’s Legacy

I remember sixteen as if it were yesterday  five different jobs not a single day away wanting success, keen to be blessed yet secretly, deep...
