BASIC HUMAN KINDNESS

BASIC HUMAN KINDNESS

With open eyes the truth I see
The favorite word to us is “me”.
What happened to the human breed
The selfishness and excess greed

Oh, sure there are a certain bunch
Some caring people have a hunch
But turn the news on late today
And hear how greed can ruin the way

We care about our fellow man
And give of ourselves when we can
To see the mocking of what’s unknown
When your only focus is you alone

If lack of compassion has crippled you, see
Then what do you offer our history?
To share a part of us for the good
Yes, we can do it~ YES, we should!

When good times get tough
And the economy‘s been rough
Can‘t we see how we’re blessed
And put faith in the rest

We need to remember the basics of life
And conquer the greed that causes this strife
Can we turn back the clock to a simpler time?
And help out a neighbor~not wanting a dime?

I may be a dreamer~ not having a clue
Or maybe by dreaming, I have hope for you
To spare generations from total destruction
Reuse and recycle can be our new function.

DAYBREAK

In the stillness of the morning I think about my day Put my thoughts and words together And to Jesus I do pray Before I turn the lights on Put the coffee on to brew I ask the Lord to guide me, What he’d like to see me do To make this world a better place To help my fellow man He put me here to do these things I know this is His plan As the sun begins to rise I feel joy within my heart Having Jesus there to light my way He can show me where to start.

Can It Change??

Can It Change? I gotta ask you what’s going on And wonder why this split has upon Come to our world~unrest and war Did all this start a long time before? In1776 a contract wrote Would give us all the right to vote And stand a nation so delighted But, if that’s so, why are we not UNITED? Our leader some decisions make May sometimes be a sad mistake But as a nation, can we be UNITED in our LIBERTY? We lose our job, our house, we strife Can’t we be thankful we have LIFE? Is greed consuming heart and mind That people have become unkind? A Pollyanna I am not If you think I care about what I’ve got ‘Cause life is more than money or things We’re materialistic marionettes on strings My friends cannot come home from this war Because more battles they’re needed there for But we complain about our fancy cars While war has someone’s child behind bars Can we UNITE as this country planned? Can we do what’s right and take a stand? Can we share

Oh, Gentle Heart

Oh, Gentle Heart When I looked into your eyes That Monday back in May I saw the stars that light your soul That very special day. I saw each chance as special Each chance you took me to That place where I could be myself And feel so peaceful next to you. As days passed by my heart would flutter At the thought I’d see your face I longed to see those stars again To journey to that place. Your gentle nature touched my heart It left me wanting more To open up your soul to me Was something to adore. I consider myself so lucky That you’ve touched my heart so deep I will treasure you in the palm of my hand Even when I sleep! Vickie Skowronski ~Copyright 1998
