A Merry Christmas Obama Family
A Birth long ago brought us great cheer
Miracles followed to people everywhere
Emery could never smooth the rough edges He found
Rampant sins were occurring all around
Rights contorted into personal gain
Young awkwardness lost and social disdain
Change we made when in Him we believed
His words whispered a truth we ably received
Righteousness came and the people were healed
It took His reach out to thousands and truths revealed
Savior, Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords and King of Kings
Taught lots and healed many with His wondrous blessings
Multitudes of His followers were there wherever He would go
And the Word of our Deliverer spread to places high and low
So many believed on Him, on His word they hung their belief
On the faith in the Messiah they were freed from grief
Blessed by His powers and loved through His grace
A light that glowed Eternity in His promised embrace
My God and Savior came here and while He was here
A chosen few were taught to go spread His Word everywhere
Faith in the Father and the steadfast faith in His son
Are the doctrines that the Christians taught since they begun
Merriment to all men, peace and love, happiness too
In these trying times and economic strain we wish the best for you
Lots of His joy to you, may the Father’s Blessings be near
Yuletide wishes for a great Season and Prosperous New Year
Happy Thanksgiving Day
How magnificent is the Lord Almighty
And forgiving His glory
Padre Nuestros en Los Cieolos above
Praises we give you with our undying love
Your hand has guided us yet another year
Today with families we gather and share
Hours of joy over a specially prepared meal
And give thanks for all the things we feel
No worries will overcome us today
Kneeling together and to you, pray
Sorrows we forget as you descend
Give us your blessings and our problems mend
It’s great Lord to give you thanks for family
Very great for friends, our jobs, health and opportunity
I know Lord some will gave you thanks for their Governments
National Organizations, Churches and resolved arguments
God our thanks is as varied as you have made us all
Diverse as the snow flakes on the winter snowfall
And still one thing is possible, where ever we may stay
You God make it possible to have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Survivor
Served from Aug 14, 1917 in World War 1
US Army received him with others but all others are gone
Remember all who fought and remember him too
Value Frank Woodruff Buckles who served for me and you
Incredible that this 108 years old is the only to survive
Valor has any man who after a century on this earth is still alive
Our Wars and weather, riots and crime
Remember friends all our veterans and Frank Buckles at this time
Remembrance Day
Red poppies worn to show that we
Empathize with those of the military
Men and women who were in battle slain
Enemies took their lives and never again
Met with their families
Battled for us and our sovereignties
Remembering those too who where injured
And returned home and though honored
Never got solace when they slept at night
Couldn’t separate themselves from the fight
Even those that survived with no haunting pain
Don’t have the legacy of wartime gain
All those people who chose and went in battle for me
Yes, I’ll give my dollar and I’ll wear a red poppy.
The Nobel Peace Prize
This morning he awoke to Malia saying dad you won!
He didn’t start celebrating before more followed on
Eagerly she continued, dad it’s Bo’s birthday!
Nobel Peace Prize is great but other responsibilities he had to portray
Obama always said he was first a dad
Bo the family pet was the only dog they had
Letting this Birthday past would be a major wrong
Even though this award was great he must first get along
Pets are like family and must not be set aside
Every occasion with family Barack smiles wide
And though he is humbled that the world nations believe
Change can start from ideas small men conceive
Even though he is the first sitting President in 90 years
Presented with this honor for his approach to world affairs
Rights of world citizens are in his forefront but close at home
Is the responsibility of family and Nation where ever he may roam
Zilch is the significance of personal grandeur and so he
Emphasized the involvement of all people and it starts with family
Where Were You When
With all the chaos and fear
Horrific happenings in the air
Explosion that brought the North tower down
Real debris thrown all around
Explosion again and the second Twin Tower fell
Were you there at 9/11 in that moment’s hell
Each person below running for their life
Ran as fast as they can, a husband and wife
Even older folk panicked with this tragedy
You never seen anything like this in all history
Our nation was again the first but this time with pain
Under the best of protection, terrorists can reign
With years of deception and shrouded right here
Here in the bowels of our country in that dreaded year
Eight years ago they changed how we go
Now any airplane above causes turmoil below
The Time To Say Thank You
The dream shall never die
He clench my hand, I started to cry
Edward said I’m passing the torch to you
Then he smiled and I knew
It was soon going to be that time
My friend was saying good-bye, but I’m
Emotional with tears and could hardly say
The one thing that mattered most today
Over and over I rehearsed what I would do
Such words I would say, with appreciation too
And though we all knew this time would come
Yet, it’s here and my lips are dumb
The hours of preparation make no sense to me
Hours wasted rehearsing what should come naturally
And then in a prayer I asked for the Lord’s hand
Not just for guidance but that I’ll on His command
Keep my friend’s request and that the torch never goes out
You are ready, the Lord said, there mustn’t be a doubt
Occasions have come before with no time to say adieu
Use this time to say farewell friend and a special thank you
The Lion Of The Senate
This death, although we tried to prepare
Has grabbed tightly, people everywhere
Every political figure and every constituent
Lost this iconic figure and his needed involvement
I watched closely and read how he
Organized bipartisanship and caused both sides to agree
No other senator served in this way
Only he made crossing sides seem okay
Forty seven year he worked hard to enact legislation
The Cancer, Disabilities, Civil Rights Acts. Nationality and Immigration
Health Insurance, Children’s Health program, Mental Health Parity
Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, most recently
Senator Kennedy worked with President Bush, the two parties combined
Enacted in 2002 an educational Act, No Children Left Behind
Numerous other bills, over 300, in his political odyssey
Are now part of the Lion’s great legacy
Ted passed the torch to Barack before he passed away
Expecting Americans will enjoy Universal Health Care soon, one day
Senator Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy
Shook their hands and reached across the isle
Edward “Ted” Kennedy was versatile
November 7 in 1962
Assigned to the Senate and from there this icon grew
Tragedy came to his brothers very early
Oswald shot and killed JFK then Sirhan shot and killed Bobby
Remorse clouded Ted’s good judgment they say, over these 5 years
Emotions overcame Ted and little could dry his tears
Driving from a party in ‘69 his car broke a bridge
When it overturned in the water, he escaped and fled to a ridge
Abandoning the accident where his passenger had drown
Reported his guilt of fleeing and accepted the mandate of the crown
Darkness plagued Ted and he needed great light
Mounded himself into work and there shone bright
Over the next four decades his records would show
One man who became an icon that both sides will know
Reached out first as a friend to all in the House
Encouraged all other Senators to dispel political grouse
Then get to the root of the problems before they decide
Even chose to stand in the way before them, if tempers will collide
Decades of work, he wrote over 300 bills
Kept busy, they called him “The Lion Of The Senate,” for his skills
Enormous contributions he made to affect all Americans’ lives
No other Senator has done more, I hope his legacy survives
Not through his name alone but the differences he laid
Equality, Civil Rights, universal health care and immigration aid
Dogs were his passion, sailing, fishing and saying “You tried!”
Yesterday, before midnight, Senator Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy, died
Motivated By Money
My illness exposed me to doctor who
Only seemed interested in the money they accrue
Tonight in regular profHannity the TV host suggest
If doctors are not paid top notch money expect mediocre test
Viewers were asked to believe that the young doctors who pursue
Ambitious salaries will take better care of you
This can’t be so from what I have seen
Every doctor motivated by money seem to act mean
Doctors who quickly operate because you can pay
But never concerned that diet can take your trouble away
You can’t expect such doctors to forgo good surgical money
Making decisions to treat patients more inexpensively
On TV we met most doctors that chose to work without pay
Nursing patients to live beyond another day
Efficiency comes best from caregivers who aren’t economical scholars
You get better care from doctors not seeking the almighty dollars
Protesters With Guns
People who sense change sometimes act
Riotous against anything rather fiction or fact
Obstructing progress to improve they own lives
Taking up guns and replacing their knives
Economy is hard and health care strained
So Government proposes a cure, so why did they complained
They were conned by haters into believing it would
Euthanize granny with Death Panels, clearly the Bill is misunderstood
Regardless to the efforts of the President and his team
Such bitterness pour into our streets with actions extreme
Watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants
I would not believe this was Thomas Jefferson’s aspirants
That men would wield guns before their President
Have a misguided fortitude that it makes them independent
Governor once and President would be Palin planted a seed
Under her mischief the bitterness would feed
Nibbling away all good intensions and leaving an evil shell
She has managed to make innocent people blindly rebel
The Right To Bare Arms
The people are not bitter Obama, with guns on their hips
Holstered during their rallying trips
Everyone can within the law demonstrate
Rights to carry these weapons as they participate
Imagine such civil unrest that these
Go church with side arms strapped above the knees
How worrying to see students on our corridors
Turning out like Billie the Kid to resurrect more horrors
The parks where we go to meditate
Or walk our dogs, gun fanatics now populate
Brothers now scaring brothers if when they open the door
Are people packing semi-autos and some packing more
Rubbish, this must be rubbish to hear
Every one by the law can choose to wear
A gun while present in a politically volatile crowd
Restricting guns at other grouping will soon be disallowed
Me, I’m still having difficulty why churches have alarms
Sleeveless tops banned, ladies don’t have The Right To Bare Arms
GrASSley
Government tried bilateral talks for many days
Republican Chuck Grassley now rebukes what Obama says
And publicly told his constituents it dost appear
Senior citizens have a legitimate right to fear
Sarah Palin started this with her Death Panel lies
Lawful committees to pull the plug and ensure grandma dies
Egged on supporters into rioters, some wielding guns
Yes, Senator Grassley is suggesting the Bill will kill USA’s sons
At His Beck And Call
A stunning remark on Fox which deserved a fist
They say that President Barack Obama is a racist
Had no reservation and got no rebuke
It was as if Beck’s action didn’t seem to spook
Smiles emerged with approval on each face
Beck’s attempts to substantiate his remarks on race
Evoked nothing from the threesome sitting there
Couldn’t see any repugnance, they didn’t care
Kept listening but wanted so much to turn them off
And it only got worse when I saw no one scoffed
No one seeing any wrong in this
Didn’t understand how anyone can think Barack’s a racist
Come a few days later I heard Barack was like Hitler
A man who opted for genocide to make the Whites purer
Looks like they are bent on painting our President as evil
Like they are controlled by a dark and more sinister will
Happy Birthday Mr. President
How can I say, Happy Birthday?
And how can I in a day, his troubles allay?
Paupers like me never get to see
People like he, with such pedigree
Yes we can was his cry, but how can I
Bring happiness to a President, how ever hard I try
I’ve seen the joy one man can bring
Realized that if you believe, you can do anything
The audacity of hope is within my reach
He taught me to believe and then each
Dream can be made into a reality
And so I’ll believe and with audacity
Yes I can give the President what I desire
May this day be as my dream, and as I require
Real happiness amidst his busy schedule
Peace from the haters, backstabbers, and all things cruel
Resolve of the problems of immediacy
Enemies no longer a threat to our country
Soft answers to carry away people’s rage
Integrity to know the time to turn a new page
Devoted colleagues that will always have your back
Economy, Health Care and Immigration put back on track
Nothing can stop my dreams and my earnest pray
To wish President Barack Obama a Happy Birthday!
The Police Acted Stupidly
The President dared to say what he can
He described actions and not the character of the policeman
Even with his measured and careful word
People attacked what they think they heard
On that night when the arrest was made
Lawman, who trains other acted stupidly, I’m afraid
Invading ones own home, how could this be?
Could a man jimmying his own lock be described as guilty?
Even when he says to the police he’s the lawful owner
Are there no checks that would verify this, is there no procedure?
Can I expect that had this man been a White
That he would’ve been meted out that same treatment, that night?
Ever considered the mood you would have been in
Disgusted from your circumstance now the police, outside, beckoning?
Sir! Get out the house! And you asked, Why? Cause I’m Black?
This is no reason for the police to get out of whack
Using a cane, standing 5’5”, with proof of ID
Police surely could’ve walked away, even without an apology
I agree with the President and think our trained policemen
Diffuse many more volatile incidents, so why not then
Locked emotions, Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley
Years of racial mending being broken because the police acted stupidly.
Did You Cry To See That Fly Die
Dastardly act PETA say
Immoral show of humane decay
Destroying any life, how could he
You saw it, they showed it on TV
Outrageous and shameful
Uncaring and disgraceful
Catching the fly could’ve been done humanely
Rush! He could have shouted to his security
You didn’t have to see the cruelness
They could’ve stopped to get rid of the pest
Oops! Did I say pest when I should have said fly
Some didn’t think this harmless insect should die
Even though he tried to chase it away
Even though we all could hear him say
Things like, get of here! before he raise his hand
Hit it with precision like he was always in command
And with respect he took a tissue to remove the bug
Took it up before it dirtied the rug
Flying Little Insect Exterminated Swiftly
Like this President does all things accurately
Yet PETA finds something to say, why
I wonder what if it were a tick, mosquito, a louse or a flea
Even these are animals too, so would PETA have screamed cruelty?
Remembering Tim
Remorsefulness I could feel no more
Everything is different than before
My thoughts now are the wonderful memories
Episodes when he interviewed celebrities
Meet the Press was a great addition to my Sundays
Dialogs well research and presented in fresh ways
Ever political leader invited for a chat
Respectfully grilled to discern fiction from fact
I think I learnt more from these interviews
No twisted focus and distortions as in the news
Got the fact straight once and for all listening
Tim’s Christian nature brought an unusual christening
I felt renewed interpretation when I listened to him
Meet the Press continues and in a way so does Tim
In Loving Memory of Tim Russert
Died June 13, 2008
Violence Is A Dead End
Very many listened from many countries too
I watched as again he sculpted history in his Cairo debut
Obama is never surprising but my admiration grows
Learning each time the wisdom of what he knows
Experience is a great teacher but faith is best
No doctrine has every superseded its test
Countries in their pursuit of freedom and rights
Exterminate other countries in brutal fights
Islam and Christianity have similar belief
So why do these religions sustain so much grief
As a young boy in Indonesia where people were predominately Muslim
Didn’t prohibit the Christian few from their worship, didn’t stop him
Even though he was but a boy he fully understood
A people shouldn’t be stopped when their values are good
Do on to others as you would have that they do onto you
Explains the paths of these religions and there are others too
No future lies ahead when religions are identified by cruel trend
Defined by bloodshed, not when Violence Is A Dead End!
