I have been writing for about one year. I have a son, Aaron. I enjoy writing every day. My parents are Mason and Kathleen Maness. My past occupation was as a machinist and an instructor at a Technical College. Twenty-one years combined US Army Veteran., medical technician and duty at the Pentagon. It is my hope that my poetry will be songs that express my love for God and what Jesus Christ has meant to me. Letters are welcomed in care of The International Poetry Hall of Fame, 1 Poetry Plaza, Owings Mills, MD 21117. |
I Follow HimThe Lord is good to meHe provides for all my needs The Lord watches me Like a light that shines on me And provides for all my needs I will ever trust Him Put no one above Him The Lord guides my life He watches all my life And any where he leads The path is sweet indeed And as a ship follows stars, even so I follow him I will ever trust him, put no one above Him and as a ship follows stars, even so I follow Him I will always follow Him I will always follow Him |
The GiftI've already written your pardon in redSo go live again I died for you instead And all of those things That brought you such pain I'll remember no more Now that you wear my name I've already written your name in my hand So go live again I'll help you to mend You new life began When you trusted me as a friend I've already written your name in my heart So go live again I'll help you to start And all the years you wasted They seem so in vain Now you're walking by faith And you can still try again I've already written your name in my book And it's only to me that you have to look For guidance and love Former things passed away Now you're walking by faith And it's a brand new day I've already written your name in my hand So go live again I'll help you to stand And all of those years You couldn't hear me at all I heard every heartbeat And I saw it all I've already written your pardon in red So go live again I died for you instead And all of those fears That brought all those tears I'll wipe them away with joy everyday I'll wipe them away with joy everyday |
