Monkey Trouble (Jesus Freak)

There's a monkey, he lives in Denmark
As he swings through the trees he thinks of bananas
But he thinks too hard and begins to fall
"Where did the branch go... Oh no! I'm going down!"

This monkey's name is Job
And he just doesn't get it yet
His mother and his dad are really worried for him
They think he needs some aid but they don't know where to find it at
Eventually he will grow up,
Eventually he will fit in
And Job will swing like normal-- one day.

Ode to Mud

Oh, Mud
You are the sustenance of a green tomato
You provide water to the soil
Containing my juicy melons.
Oh mud, you provide such fun
For children of all ages
Gushy and wet,
Shploop!
You fall to the ground
In a satisfactory way
Never thinking twice.

Ode to Sunlight

Oh Sunlight
You light up my world
Bring life to my peers
Golden rays of goodness
Vitamin D delivered in a
glittering golden package
Tanner by the minute
To the point of burn
And UV, carcinogens.
Without you,
Oh sunlight,
The human race
Would come to a halt,
Wilted and gray;
Lifeless.
Oh sunlight,
Do not stop
Doing good deeds,
Giving precious life.

Dragon

The dragon is here
And all who see, fear

The beauty that comes
The monster's heart numbed

She deftly uncoils
Showing marks of her toils

Colors of cherry and wine
With details exquisitely fine

Dazzling flames
Wild, untamed

This beauty that comes
Her seekers succumb

The Storm

Swiftly,
Ebony clouds close in
Striking down its thunder
With grace and power
Playing with the winds
Swirling throughout
Quickly moving through,
Awe and wonder in its wake
And a promise of peace
For tomorrow

Summer

Careless puffs float by
Turtles, rabbits, pirate ships
Shining by the Sun

Travels

The dainty flowers
Colorado mountainsides
Purple, yellow, green

Aspen

Gentle waterfall
Shimmering green and yellow
The quaking aspen

Death by Deer

At once, the men fell to the ground
Because of the deafening sound.
The gent laughed in fear,
But was trampled by deer
And his noises no longer resound.

Shiny

There once sat a squirrel in a tree
Who spotted a shiny green key
He quickly sprang forth
For all he was worth
But missed and fell down from the tree

Beautiful One

Amazing love will never fail me
With mercy, power, grace and unity
You take away my fears and make me free
Unquestionably strong and almighty

The One who lets me soar on eagle's wings
My faith in You stays firm throughout the storm
I think of all you've done and my heart sings
The days I'll spend with you make me feel warm

Your eyes You will give me when I can't see
You give me strength to love and really live
You feel my deepest pain and hurt for me
You've taught me how to truthfully forgive

The seeds of Your undying love are sown
I raise my hands to You and You alone
