There Always Is A First Time
There must always be a “First Time”
For everything we do
The First step
The First day of school
The First love
The First time to hear
I love you
And always, there is the fear
Of the unknown, when its our
First Time For whatever we do.
We seldom think ahead far enough
To realize, that,
For every “First Time"
There will also be a “Last Time"
For these simple things we do
The Last Step we take.
The Last day we spend in the
“School of Life.
The Last time we say
I’m sorry, or
The Last Time we say
I love you
When we open a door
For “The First Time"
We don’t think about the time
When we will close it
For the Last Time
Would we have stepped a little
More carefully if we’d known it was our
Last time?
Would we have put more meaning in
I Love You
If we’d known it was
The Last time?
Would we have closed the door
Gently, if we’d known it was
The Last Time?
So take time to stop
And smell the rose,
Just in case it may be
The Last time
Take time to say
I love you
Just in case its for The Last Time
Listen closer to the music
Just in case its for The Last Time
Enjoy the gentle breeze
As it caresses your face
Just in case Its for the Last Time
Look closer at the velvet sky
The stars suspended like diamonds
Just in case its for the Last Time
And most of all,
Give Thanks to God Above
In everything you do
And don’t forget to thank him that
You were blessed to have
A First Time and a Last Time
to share this life and love.

Cleansing Tears
As the earth turns and constantly changes
So too, does life: moving forward according to
Decisions and choices that we make.
And as the seasons of earth bring sunshine
and rain,
so too, does life bring joy and pain.
The joy of sunshine as it warms our smiling face
And we think everything in our world
is in it's proper place.
Then comes clouds of doubt
we know something's not right
The thunder of discontent
Lightning of pain.
Then cleansing tears fall
like a heavy spring rain.
As rain nourishes the earth
and makes flowers grow
So too, do tears cleanse the soul.
they help us heal so we can grow
become stronger, wiser, and able to cope.
Each joy I share with those I love
was granted by my God
in his Heaven above.
So when, to grow, I must shed some tears
I know its that "season" in my year.
And I know when my growth is done
there's no more to learn
or races to run.
When my body is tired
my eyes have grown dim
I'll say, "I've done my very best",
Reach out my hand, And Join HIM,
And Please don't grieve when you see me no more
I've just passed through another door.
I've known the sunshine
I've known the rain
Known the love
And shared the pain
And its been good
Down through the years
for I grew and the pain
was healed
With cleansing tears.

It is easy to fly into a passion
anybody can do that
but to be angry with the right person
to the right extent
and at the right time
and with the right object
and in the right way
that is not easy,
and it is not everyone
who can do it.
