Living At 18

While driving down the road at 65 or so
In a zone of 40 or, (you'll) crash you know
I missed the turn
And took to learn
My hand was broken
My breast was seat belt stricken
Two ribs was crackened
My right foot was almost smashened
My nose with a hair line split
Not needless to say my tongue partly bit
Waken to headaches and pains with many wonder
My dad looked frightened as he drove like thunder
Rushing me to the code blue of slumber,
X-rays to X-rays my dear did I do
My mother-sisters-and friends looked too
As in fright of my blurry eyesight
Bloody was I, not gloom to foresight
Thanks also to a neighbor to think so quick
To help pull my weak body from that terrible ditch.
A lesson was learned, God was in my worst unturn.

Three Daughters

You are so beautiful and so neat
You have my blood pressure at its peak
Shining hair with eyes so true
Makes me feel never to blue
Companions of mornings early light
A fisherman partner's best sight
Playing and laughter among us a float
Dad's going to tell you, his best little joke
My dear daughters, please, Lend me your ear
For I will give you now;
Advice for future years.

An Affair

What - oh What is an affair?
I've ask myself, oh what could it be
To make man or women turn from "Thee"
Much to knowledge, Interact be within
Satan has no trouble in introducing your sins
Wondering, does our minds
Seeking, Our body's desires
Not worrying of tomorrows problems within
Lack of communication with couples have now began
Unlikely to survive, the other partners new way
Our God's Holy Children will suffer astray
So seeking body treasures so naughty today
Will put you in loneliness tomorrow's - (Today)
Responsibilities for each of us on a cloudy day
Will keep sunshine in our hearts another day
Wondering, does our minds, so let it be -
Seeking our Body's desires - Not! Let it Flee!
Forgetting the pleasures extensive there of,
God will assure you, His divine Love
