As I drive my truck each day I wonder what it is I will see today?
Each day brings something new for my eyes and ears
From state to state, from coast to coast what new things will I see this day?
The sunrises from my front window to my back from day to day
...

I’m sitting on my front porch on this afternoon.
Reflecting on my life on this day.
There’s little in this lifetime that we can call free.
But sitting on my swing, this is what I see.
...

God I prayed to you 22 years ago.
God you answered my prayer in this way.
A man knocked on my door Lord.
Tells me he is a friend of my room mate.
...

Where is the gleam in your eyes that you once had?
The flame and sparkle are now only amber’s when I come into view.
The warmth and softness of your touch is no loner present.
...

I’ve practiced in the mirror each day.
I try to find the words I want to say.
As I watch you walk away.
...

Lord, where would you be, that I could not be with you?
Everywhere I go Lord, you were there before me.
Everywhere I go Father, you are there with me.
...

I was born in a womb with no soul, but God was there.
I had a mother who cared not, but God was there.
...

The sun starts it journey downward.
On rays of red and gold.
Moonbeam dance, to the rhythm of the twinkling stars.
As you and I make love by the flight of the firefly.
...

Through the laughter and the tears throughout the years.
If this old shattered house of ours had words to say.
Through the sadness of goodbye and the tears that I cry.
Through the love that once was that has sadly gone by.
...

My wife whispered in my ear there’s a storm on the horizon.
Dear would you like to make love in the rain?
Would you hold my close as the storm passes by?
Would you like to make love to me for every storm that comes our way?
...

When we met back in 1986, you could always make me soar
As I stand in the shadow of your smile.
You light up my day, as you look my way
I miss your lips when they are not kissing mine
...

Are you the drifter they say you are?
Will you stay or will you go I really need to know?
Before we go much further dear please just let me know.
They say my heart will be broken if I ask you to stay.
...

As I sit on my swing on this predawn morn and watch the skies.
Turn from one color to the next I get down on my knees.
And I find myself asking God please “will you come and play today”?
...

I can hear him singing soft and low.
His melody flows like a flooded river side.
He just can’t help himself, for a song is in his soul.
...

Lord it started so hot when we woke up that day, as I rolled over to see my mate.
I smiled and asked can I slip into your pocket?
I feel safe from the world when I’m inside and my cares are free.
As I snuggle just a little closer, to those loving arms that keep me safe from harm.
...

God, I thank you for this man we call Paul.
I thank you for the love that he shares.
For the time that he takes to care.
For his time he takes to share.
...

Have you ever wonder where miracles come from?
Have you ever seen a miracle for yourself?
Do they come within our soul or just generations ago?
