What’s out there when you stand wondering in the dark,

So far and wide it reaches, where does it go, do we know.?

Take a good look up into the quiet sky, see beyond your sight,

In front of you, like a picture of beauty rests the moon up high.

The sun is no longer seen as to bed it goes until the morning hour,

Stars created are in the millions, they appear still in the night sky.

Venus and Mars are seen just as darkness appears in the early evening,

Colors of the sky turn to dark but a new sight is seen before you are to dream.

Beyond your sight are many mysterious wonders of the universe waiting,

Other worlds, planets, what might be out there we can not know, the night sky.

Keith Garrett

I look to the sky, can you see me through the clouds,

I’m standing here lord, what shall i do to make it today.?

From my eyes there are many tears that flow to no end,

In this body it is my heart that cries for your help to ease my sorrow.

Stand by me when my loneliness is much more than i can bare,

Take away this pain and anger that lives in my soul as i move forward.

Take from me these nightmares that visit when i sleep, Oh! please,

Let me rest as my body feels so very tired from this plight.

From heaven can you hear me, do you know who i am,

Will you listen as i ask for your guiding hand.?

Keith Garrett

Take a moment and imagine this, love so real,

A most special love, only to a woman who can’t be.

Think of a world where pain and sorrow are only a myth,

Where laughter and smiles wake you to each sunrise.

What if hunger and sickness were but a childs nightmare,

Selfishness and hate were a demon caged in a place of no more.

Could love be forever as the moon shows its face in the sky,

Ask this beyond the sky to where heaven lies, is all possible.?

Imagine this, is a kiss just a kiss, to the blind hearted only this,

To eyes that meet anothers, a connection may forever exist.

Imagine this, if dreams and wishes came true, i dream for you,

Your special wish would come true, imagine this.

Keith Garrett

To each day he rises a bit sleepy eyed but he rises,

Clouded may the sky be of darkness or sunshine.

He walks the land taking in the air blessed upon,

What is seen by this man is love and life, it’s seen.

He knows the magical art of making one laugh,

Now the laughter lost by he has been re discovered.

treasures of happiness are all around, easily noticed,

No more blindness of an eclipse to the sight, lucky man.

Nothing needed, everything’s at his feet, the grasp of his hand,

How he did not see does not matter, lucky man, what a lucky man.

Keith Garrett

I await you as the sun goes down, a breeze blowing cool,

There will be a full moon rising in the sky tonight.

Jasmine is a fragrance noticed in the nights of spring,

Sweet is its smell as darkness awakes and the daylight sleeps.

The cold bite of Winter becomes a memory for now,

Summers heat has not yet been born, this feeling of spring.

Walk with me hand, in hand under a full moon so bright,

A clear, Spring night is alright, with a woman of beauty i walk.

A dreaming man tells a story of a walk with a beautiful woman,

Under a full moon on a clear, Spring night, he waits.

Keith Garrett

What will it be like when i get there, will you be the same,

Will you have the face and smile that i remember before.?

All of you that were once part of this place, my world,

Descendants that i never had the chance to meet or know.

My father, again i will have the pleasure of your love and caring,

As if time never went by, we are always together as you were away.

When i see you in heaven will you recognize my face,

I was a child when you went on your voyage that long ago day.

I think of you with angel wings, a long white gown and happy,

It’s been a lifetime for me, beyond is eternity, do you remember me.?

When i see you in heaven i pray we will be as once we were as father and son.

Keith Garrett

He use to be, he walked as a man,

Growing up as a child, harder than one could have imagined.

With strength and courage he stood for the fight,

So many against him as he marched for what’s right.

At times so scary to speak what you believe,

Most just complain, Oh! not he.

It took a demon, the devil in disguise,

To take from him what he told from inside.

He was once a boy but grew to become a man,

To tell of his cause as he walked with the people hand, in hand.

His name was Martin Luther King,

He was not forgotten because of an ignorant mans bullets ring.

He had a dream,

He was a man,

His dream is alive. Keith Garrett

There’s no way to see it, search and search,

I watch for tomorrow as today live, only live.

If this next should be a blessing given to me,

Will i see all the beauty that’s put before these eyes.?

Blinded by the past, painful memories still a vision,

Walk forward i do into perhaps tomorrow, seeking.

Dream upon dream and hope everlasting,

Energy and strength will guide me from this day.

Seeking tomorrow is a heart felt thought to be,

Seeking tomorrow, when it comes watching i’ll be.

Keith Garrett

With a rumble it rolls across the clouded sky,

This force of nature sounds angry as it goes by.

With a crack and a boom it cries out from above,

Like the pounding of drums echoing down upon all.

Noise from the sky, thunder by its name,

A miracle of nature or the release of the universes pain.

Keith Garrett

I woke this morning to a brand new day,

A chill outside, cloudy was the theme.

The sun did shine for just a moment or two,

A cup of coffee and some things to do.

Working on my writing, a story about my dad,

A walk through the park, on my way for an eye exam.

A cool breeze in the air as i make my way back home,

A sight of hopelessness on the faces from the forgotten ones.

My life is not so bad as i walk through door,

Another cup of coffee and some food sitting on my couch.

Nothing is perfect, nothing so bad,

A little sadness, sometimes happy and glad.

Words of the day, today something to say.

Keith Garrett
