.(MISTER GIMBLES THIMBLE)
I saw a man named Gimble
He fumbled with a thimble
He wasn't very nimble
Mr. Gimble dropped the thimble
To the floor it did tumble
Into the thimble crawled a Bee
That was a bumble
Mr. Gimble stomped the thimble
that held the Bee
That was a bumble
The Bee flew away
And to his dismay
Mr. Gimble's thimble was squashed to the floor
And so..
Mr. Gimble's thimble was no more. :):)
In passion born the deepest love
Round and round the cherry tree
Seeking.... Knowing.....
What be... must be..
The passion born of stress, and pain
Oblivious of the obvious
Sorrows deepest gain
Sight unseen you venture on
With a heart of oak
A bravado valor
You dare not shrink back
you take heart
You confront and out face
The present the past,
and the furture to come
Uncowed by the firey darts of hell
With careful steps
You march onward
Knightly unfearing
Marching in peace
Being sure of what you hope for
Certain of what you do not see
And.... with a childlike faith
You know that you know
That the promised
unteared forevermores
Shall be....
Yea!!! They Shall be.

People are people
They learn to love
People are people
They live and they die
People are people
They laugh and they cry
People are people
They give and they take
People are people
They all make mistakes
People are people are people are people
Black, yellow, red or white
People are people are people.

Time prattles on in space
Fittle Fattle, Foe
A glimpse of Heaven
Has shifted the scene of the place
Ho!Ho!Ho!Ho!Ho!
Each an army succumbed by self
A measure none the less given
A place in space
Not just a single trace
But of vast and huge
Not frightening
Busy busy humble man
Bippity Bop Bop Bop
Where are the mighty men of faith
to guide us gentle warriors
And help keep us from the snake
Sizzle Sizzle
Pop!Pop!Pop!
Where are the true the kind and just
Where are the peaceful men of dust?
Rapity tap-tap tap tap
Bippity Bop
Ho!Ho!Ho!
Fittle fattle foe

What happened to the times when....
Judgement didn't enter in
What happened to the days when....
The only disbutes were
Bickerings now and then
Were they though as it seems?
I'm sure of only, I do not know
A tidal wave of innocent bliss
battered yet not beaten
For Love has the Power
as the warmth of the sun
and Only God
The I AM That I AM
knows the heart of the man

Among the climate
Hot or Cold
Theatrics bound by lust
Sin infested souls
Bring hate to surface bold
A parliment unto itself
Drying out it's gut
For whom does redemption hold
Sinking ships with treasures to be sold
Ramblings of the terror stricken walking dead
Waiting for the pot of gold to meager out it's penance
Hideous laughter that scorches
To the soul
Controlled by a gutless master
As awakeing unfolds
Tyrants gathering in the dust
No heart in hand to mold
For the wicked heart is stone
crushed to powder
Yet the soul forever roams
In the inferno of eternal torment told
Love will purge the rotting hate
And bring you safely
To the place
Where streets are laid with gold

The secrets told in hidden chambers
The glory of it all!!
Yah!! Hoo!! Yah!! Hoo!
The man does rejoice, and dance
The excitement of an answered prayer
Knowing he was not the only one
Hidden in the chambers there.. :)

The Mighty awesome eagle
Submerged the sea of air
Plunging swiftly down
upon the sight he'd seen
Capturing his prisoner
By harvest moonlit rays
Sailing.... skyward bound
On the vast gulf of wind
The mouse of prey
Shrieked and hailed
The awesome one to listen
"I beg of thee to hear my plea
of riches I have plenty
If only thou wise and stunning one
Would place me on the ground
For gold and silver I have much
Enough for thine
Majestic wings to cover"
The mighty wise eagle replied,
" Ahhhh! my little willowy fellow
What need have I of these
For all you see both far and wide
Are mine to soar at ease
And don't you know of all the trees
It's the willow that doth weep"

To damn a soul
Friend or foe
Oh the pain to hear it so
Human souls, flesh, and blood
Alive,and living
There will come a time
Be it morning or darkest night
No matter the season
Although mercy shall endure
When all mankind shall see it's plight
And, Rejoice or moan
Destiny is your own
Which shall it be for you?
Will you trade the path of Golden streets
For the path of gnashing teeth?
Nay!! For Wisdom is given
To all who seek
Rejoice or moan
Which shall it be
The choice is yours to make.

The Prince of peace will come He Will
The Prince of peace Will come
The whole of the fold restored by Him
The whole of the fold restored
There shall be the Trinity
There at the head of the family tree
At the Banquet fit for Royalty
Such Merriment there will be, will be
Such merriment will there be
The Prince of peace Will come for me
Come to embrace His family
The Prince of peace will come
He Will
The Prince of peace Will come.
