CLIMBING JACOB'S LADDER
When your young you don't think of death as part of life.
You know death's there down a windy road far out of sight.
You're to busy, things to do and important people to know.
Living the good life is tough, but you must keep up the show.
When your young, you're so unsure, you don't know what to do.
But life is complicated and stressful and all that stress is on you.
You start to think, life's not working, there's got to be a better way.
So you make adjustments and you start to have better days.
And then I started thinking about something my father read.
An ancient fable of Jacob's Ladder and here's what my father said.
Jesus told Jacob about a ladder to heaven on angel wings.
The ladder was lit by the brilliance of GOD's love while angel's sing.
As I thought further, Jacob's Ladder starts at the beginning of life.
The bottom of the ladder is dark and you climb into the light.
The light is really knowledge and it gets brighter as you age.
Jacob's Ladder and the light turns brilliant as life turns a page.
So we continue to live our lives and do the best that we can do.
To try and always do the right thing in life and to believe in you.
Some people that read this poem might say it doesn't matter.
In truth it matters, all through life you're Climbing Jacob's Ladder.

Our Life In Mankind
OUR LIFE IN MANKIND
Man's success is working in numbers
Through achievements and blunders
Man tries to achieve
What he truly believes
And puts doubters asunder
Man can be selfish
Wanting to keep
Some sow and others don't reap
###
Man strives for his constant perfection
Guards against rebel insurrection
To temper his greed
And continue to lead
With strait forward direction
Constant believer in dreams
With conviction through screams
With freedom his biggest spiritual connection
###
Man continues his dominance on earth
Adapts through changes in re-birth
As man changes nature
Through his errant behavior
Trouble is it's worth
Keep this in your mind
Lately changes have been adverse
Damnation is just a matter of time

The Birds Of Joy And Sorrow
THE BIRDS OF JOY AND SORROW
The feelings of joy and sorrow
Resonates through my soul
The taste of love together
That are gone from me forever
So I sing with the birds of joy and sorrow
Sing of hope for my tomorrows
To hopefully find again what I once knew
To fill my body through and through
This is my quest my sole ambition
Again to find love is my mission
Until I find love I continue to borrow
The songs from The Birds Of Joy and Sorrow

A Man and A Woman
“ A MAN AND A WOMAN “
A man and a woman have different wants and needs.
Of deep primal feelings and ones society breeds.
It is unreasonable to think that a life long friendship
could be derived. With out sex or marriage between them,
as a part of their lives. But such a friendship exist and
has for years. A friendship of admiration, secret
dreams and tears. The friendship that will last a lifetime
to out live their peers. So lives the friendship of Tim and Lynn
that all shall revere.

Ghost Of The Abyss
“ GHOST OF THE ABYSS “
Deep in the dark and blue
Stealthy shadows slither through
Monsters most never see
What you don’t see won’t hurt you
To a child a parent’s labored virtue
Is now known to be false
Because down in the deep of deeps
A ghostly creature floats and seeks
To leave prey without a pulse
The behemoth in question
To my recollection
Only once has ever been seen
The ghostly giant squid
Savagely puts in its bid
Architeuthis greatest legend of the sea
So the journey continues in the abyss
With more questions than answers to list
Ghost of the dark and blue

The Ability To Have Gratitude
ABILITY TO HAVE GRATITUDE
Wake up to life; turn your life into enough and more.
Take your chaotic mind, give it order, leave it free to explore.
Confusion becomes clarity, denial leaves, now truths your own.
A stranger becomes a best friend, where you live becomes a home.
It turns a simple meal into feast.
Suddenly your pass makes sense, it gives you peace.
It gives peace to your soul for today.
Gives you vision for tomorrow, so you will see the way.
Your appreciative soul takes advantage of every moment.
Makes opportunities to right wrongs for atonement.
It spreads kindness in other people’s thoughts.
Over looks mistakes of others, the way God has taught.
Gratitude inspires confidence and shows you too can be admired.
It instills self-awareness and others notice your desire.
Gratitude compliments people, that’s essential.
So that everyone has a chance to reach their potential.

What Are You Thinking In There
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING IN THERE
(The Dog Is Man's Best Friend)
There you sit with that stoic stare
What are you thinking in there
Is it simply, how can I please
Or are you thinking, know more of me
Every day you're at my beck and call
Ready to give your all
Is what you want a simple plea
To change both our thoughts to we
###
Together we will have more fun
Running and playing in the sun
And in a world that's complicated
Two different species feel liberated
Living life not worrying about knowing their place
Or show social expectancy to save face
Because we are quick to discover
We in truth love each other
