The Eternal Smile
By Edward Brown
(aka Dirt Brown)
You are the captive of my portrait frame
Frozen eternally on your face is the expression that gave you fame
Looking at your picture lit my inspriational candle afire,
Your sweet smile that always stays there - never did it tire.
Each day I see your picture and my mind is flooded with memories
Recollections of the great moments in my life, the loveliest stories.
You want to hear the reasons why I like you like I do?
Well, sit back and you shall hear and I'll be watching you.
When things went bad and it seemed like nobody was around,
You'd come and say "I'm here for you" and I'd feel safe and sound.
You have always managed to right every wrong,
I've never been happier since you came along.
I saw myself as a hero once, when I held you in my arms
It was my way of thinking I'd protect you from all the harms
The things we said to each other, always hung in the air
And I promised you that whenever you needed me, I'd always be there.
There's only one thing left to be said,
It comes from my heart, rather than inside my head
Promise me you'll keep smiling big and wide
And warming me, as well as all your friends deep down inside.
A Love Story
By John Bratcher
(a.k.a. Sir John)
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so they all prepared their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed.
Love wanted to stay until it started sinking. When Love was almost sinking, he decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a beautiful boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't.. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by, "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you Love. You are all wet and can probably damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh...Love, I am so sad that I prefer to go alone!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not listen when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you."
It was an elder.
Love became so happy that he even forgot to ask the elder her name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went on her own way.
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, the name of the elder who had helped him.
"It was Time," answered Knowledge.
"Time? But why did Time help me?" asked Love.
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is," answered Knowledge.
Life's Beauty
By John Bratcher
(a.k.a. Sir John)
The love of a soft rose opening its beauty for all to see ... the song of a dove sitting in a tree ...
A childs smiling face
Womens beauty and grace
The visions of beauty in the world are Gods gift to the human race
Should one take a moment of precious time but to turn and face
The beauties we have been given to share
And the rare precious ones we are priviledged to embrace
What Is A Woman
By John Bratcher
(a.k.a. Sir John)
A Woman was the Mother of Jesus
Therefore was not a Woman the Mother of the Father of Jesus
A Woman is a Mother to all children
They look not at color or petty things simply that it is a Child in Need
A Woman shows love and compassion from her soul
Not From greed untold
A Woman will lift a fallen Sparrow and mend its' wing
Tending to it daily until once again it is able to sing
A Woman will face the horrors of a storm, or a raging fire
To protect those she loves with all her desire
A Woman weeps for her loved ones
A Woman weeps with her loved ones when their souls ache
A Woman is the most precious gift that Man has been given on this Planet
For without Woman there would be many Voids
We would have NO
* GRANDMOTHERS
* MOTHERS
* SISTERS
* GIRLFRIENDS
* WIVES
* ANGELS OF MERCY
* INFLUENCES TO SHOW COMPASSION
* OR THE SHARING OF A MUTUAL HEART BEAT FOR ALL OUR LIVES
* WORST OF ALL THERE WOULD BE NO CHILDERN FOR US TO LOVE
A Woman is the Alpha and the Omega ... the beginning, the sum, and the end of
all things precious and Lovely ...
