Sweet Love

Sweet Love
Oh sweet love
As through life we go,
And endure,
Searching for love, being so pure,
Knowing it is a cure,
For the ages,
And all of life’s stages,
It frees us from the cages,
It is all over the good Book’s pages,
Oh, sweet love.
Oh, sweet love,
You never come and go,
As life comes and goes,
You will always be standing
Forever gently commanding,
Our respect,
Whether we see it in retrospect,
Or we judge by our own intellect,
We know one thing,
Oh, sweet love,
You complete life.

Laughter Instead of Tears

Laughter Instead of Tears
Life,
Pain,
Here and after,
I replace tears with laughter,
The storybook of love’s
Never ending chapter,
A novel of hardships
For those that God is calling,
Those slips and falls,
Life’s realness has its grip
On the vanity of insanity,
It is how well we handle triumph and tragedy,
whether foe or friend,
Who knows who will be there in the end,
The voices and choices,
Lessons and blessings,
And nature’s essence
Plus God’s presence,
The educational variety
Of life embracing reality,
Dreams are made to be reached,
And morals learned to be practiced
And preached.
