Longing for God
As the deer pants for flowing streams,
So does my soul pants for the Lord;
For all of my wrongs He redeems,
My confessions are not ignored.
My soul thirsts for the living God,
When shall He come as to appear;
At that time to honor and laud,
To pay homage as I revere.
My tears have been food day and night,
While they say “Where is your God?”
I’m guided by faith not by sight,
That’s keeping me from getting flawed.
When I remember of these things,
And am pouring out my soul;
For I went with the throng that brings,
That is taking me to my goal.
A goal to lead in procession,
To the house of God with glad shouts;
No longer having oppression,
With songs of praise that cancel doubts.
O my soul why are you downcast?
Why are you in tumult in me?
Hope in God shall forever last,
For my salvation I will see.

"To Serve Bravely"
"May we be saluted as we stand brave and tall.
For we do not smile into the face of danger
though we brace ready for the brawl"
In honor we heard the bugle call
and answered cliched fist in hand
man to man back to back
"May heaven help us All"

Destined
The zeal of thy strength shall eat thee alive
Thy weak mind will not provide an escape to be
The chains of thy own mind
refuse to set thee free
because the light stirring thee in the eyes
thou refuse to see

Nonexistence
I'm a prisoner of time
A prisoner of space
Only able to exist in
This non existent place.
On a safari through time
Back to the Dinosaur days
To observe and to study
Many Dinosaurs ways
Enclosed in a force field to
Avoid Contamination there
I stupidly stepped outside
To smell and sample the air.
I stood on a plant so
It couldn't feed a bee
And the ripple down effect
Removed existence from me.
Not really still alive
Yet not really dead
Non existent in the future
Just stuck here instead.
Unmoving in time and
Unmoving in space
I've become the shade
That haunts this place.
Just a prisoner of time
Just a prisoner of space
Only able to exist in
This non existent place.

A ZEPTOSECOND
A ZEPTOSECOND
Just one zeptosecond spent with you
Is truly just like a dream come true,
It has a lifetime of happiness built in
And it just puts my head in a spin.
Altho` this is a very short length of time
Each second we`re together is sublime,
We cram as much in as we possibly can
As time is short in relation to its span.
We make use of what time we have got
At least we always give it our best shot,
No time to waste is what I always say
Precious are the seconds of each new day.
The zeptosecond is the shortest unit
Of time ever measured´.
A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth
Of a second, or a decimal point followed
By 20 zeroes and a 1.

Dear Momma
If this were my last chance to say
that you mean the world to me
I'd start out with I love you
and will throughout eternity.
Next I would say that I'm sorry
for the many times I've let you down
when I couldn't get it right
and you picked me back up off the ground
Momma, next I'd like to thank you
for every time you believed in me
by showing me unconditional love
you said I could be what I wanted to be
There's so many things I would tell you
that I've always taken for granted you knew
things like you're the reason behind
every single good thing that I do
You're also that little voice in my head
when I'm debating between wrong and right
then you're the calm voice of reason
when all of my soul is ready to fight
You are so appreciated and loved
I know that I haven't told you enough
but Mom you are the light in my life
the shine in my eyes and all the good stuff
You're my back bone when I'm standing my ground
the compassion that comes from my softer side
the push to go on when I want to give up
the saying "I can, cuz Mr. Can't died
These are the things I'm most grateful for
so I had to tell you with all of my heart
Mom, I'll always love and need you
You are the glue that wont let me fall apart
Love always, Tammie

Cheap Skate Date
Cheap Skate Date
I took a girl on our first date,
where our small talk became a debate.
She wouldn't agree to sneak in for free,
so we each returned home to our mate!
