Bright
Eyes and a Smile to Win Hearts
(For Baby
Miles, my great grandson)
Bright
eyes and a smile to win hearts
Baby
whose giggles and joy can be caught
What a
way for my day to start
Makes it
hard to leave and stay apart
As I
watch you bang upon a pot
Bright
eyes and a smile to win hearts
It’s an
enjoyable time when I take part
The
strings of love have created a knot
What a
way for my day to start
Your
wonder with the world shows you’re smart
I can see
you’re such an inquisitive tot
Bright
eyes and a smile to win hearts
Committed
to teach with wisdom to impart
I’m
blessed to see you here a lot
What a
way for my day to start
Little
guy is one of God’s greatest arts
I love to
catch your growth in snapshots
Bright eyes
and a smile to win hearts
What a
way for my day to start
A Dark Valley Points to a Way Unclear
A dark
valley points to a way unclear
as I
start on a dusty dirt pathway
I take deep breaths while battle rising fear
Brown
sand whirls around and creates a sphere
generating
sudden darkness, I wish would blow away
A dark
valley points to a way unclear
Memories
of failures arise and like barnacles adhere
causing
the past to forever remain on replay
I take deep breaths while battle rising fear
I step into
chaos despite what I hear
to travel
the road to a new day
A dark
valley points to a way unclear
Lies distract
as they murmur in my ear
Strength
arises as I move forward and pray
I take
deep breaths and battle rising fear
Soft whisper
says my journey’s end is near
and to
hold the course and not stray
A dark
valley points to a way unclear
I take
deep breaths and battle rising fear
