CARTOON LAND


 Remember the Flintstones, they lived in Bedrock,

 The Jetsons were from the future, they were up high.

 Scooby-Doo looked for food, mumbled words, always 
 Scared,
 Popeye the sailor man sought strength from his Spinach.

 Felix the cat and his magic bag of tricks,

 Milton the monster blew smoke from his head.

  
                                                                                  Johnny Quest out there in space,

 They called him space ghost, a boy, a girl, 
 And a monkey.
 The fantastic four all had their special power,

 Captain America fought for all that was good,

 Gigantor the robot, speed racer in his magic car.

 The Amazing three and Superman of course,

 Magilla Gorilla, Bugs Bunny, or the Road runner.

 Yosemite Sam with guns in hand, Elmer Fudd after 
 the rabbit,
 They come from fantasy, imaginations of dreaming minds.

 All live together forever, many more of their kind,

 In cartoon land, it's there where you'll find.

              CANE IN HAND



 We start out young just as the early morning 
 Sunrise,


 Follow a path do we watching the sun make its 
 Way along.


 Journey do we through the days just as the light 
 Slowly lessens,


 Along the way we see many things, the sun passes 
 Over all there is.


 The sun will one day set, as of now it does slowly 
 move to the west,


 Darkness will one day fall just as we will all grow 
 From young to old.


 Cane in hand we are found, at sunset, the sun 
 Going down.

             WHAT DOES THE SKY SEE


 From up so high looking down upon,



 Does the sky see me as I look back.



 On the hills' the wind blows' through the 
 Trees, And swims does the ocean,


 Is this what the sky sees If only It had eyes.



 Can It see the birds' fly,



 Or the squirrels' climb the trees In the 
 Morning light.


 What does the sky see,



 Possibly only what your Imagination dreams'.

               THY HEALING BREATH


 With a heart so pure, filled with love, 
 He does heal,

 Pain and suffering taken away, a gift given, 
 A miracle.

 With energy so strong and a powerful feeling 
 For life,

 From within his being, coming out Is a healing 
 Touch.

 The hurt and agony Is felt by this man, In his 
 Heart and mind,

 This misery and fear, he'll take from you Into 
 His own body.

 With his breath he'll Inhale the sadness and 
 Death from you,

 The cancer and ugliness of the world, he'll 
 Exhale and blow out.

 Into the wind, away from the good that lies within.


 Thought to be bad but In reality a good man judged
 Badly,

 Who he Is, you could not understand, thy healing 
 Breath, lies in this man.

                    UNIVERSE


 Created within me Is the answer to the 
 Beginning of time,

 Is there a start or finish, an end or 
 Beginning to what's mine?

 In many a direction I must be,


 Everything travels' through my darkness, 
 Who knows What there is to see.

 Older than anything, how long have I really 
 Existed,

 Where do I come from, Is the answer a mystery 
 Never to be discovered.

 All things' that live within my space,


 Rotating forever, will they always be In
 This place?

 I am the universe, not knowing what I really 
 Am,

 With no air or much light, not a visitor 
 From your land.

 I'll stay here, who can say just how long,


 Perhaps till an end comes to my time.

                 TO CATCH THE WIND

 Out there free In the early morning light 
 From the sky,

 A shadowy figure stands motionless as the wind 
 Blows across the land.

 Feeling the fresh air swirling around this 
 Powerful spirit,

 It raises Its' head to the rising sun.


 Miles and miles to the North, South, East, 
 And west,

 This great beast can run under the wide open sky.


 This miracle of nature, a magnificent creation 
 From heaven,

 With speed and quickness, gallops to everywhere.


 Such a gentle friend which stands up tall,


 Fast, Oh! so fast he may run, and run to catch 
 the wind.

                Keith Garrett

                     TRAIN RIDE

 Awaiting Its' arrival as here It comes to 
 Take me away,

 Sounds like thunder rumbling down the track, 
 Whistling.

 Puffing black smoke up Into the air, Its'
 Headlight shining,

 This monster of steel Is here, time for me to 
 Climb aboard.

 Listen to the hissing from this steam engine, 
 Hear it!

 We take off heading through the hills' with much 
 To see.

 From out of the window stare do I as we pass 
 Through,

 Darkness from within a mountain carved out a 
 Passage.

 Tons of rock and dirt hanging above us as we 
 Travel,

 Moving through this tunnel Into the light, sun 
 Going down.

 I listen to the sound of the power of this
 Traveling train,

 Out of the window Is a clear sky as the light 
 From the full moon

 Shines down, guiding our way across the land.

                   TWO


 One and one create a two, In the afternoon 
 A time of two,
 In the dark of night, early morning strikes 
 The clock at two.
 In the park walk a man and woman, hand In hand 
 They are two,
 Feet In the sand, once a girl I knew, we were 
 One but we were two.
 I've loved only once as I've shared my life with 
 Few, only two, 
 Now It Is that this man walks alone, he has 
 Wandering feet of two.
 In a world seen In time, time lost, the passing  
 Of time, years of two,                    
 Time to understand why there Is no longer us, 
 The way we were two.
 Remember the love, a day when we were something, 
 Thoughts of two,                      
 I remember yesterday was today, I think of you  
 And the passing years of two.

                  TRIALS' OF A MAN


 Once a child, a small boy from many seasons' 
 Past,

 In this time and place destined to be a man.


 Through many battles I've had to persevere,


 Like heading Into a strong neverending wind.


 I'm learning to move away from the confrontation,


 Choosing a new direction, energy not wasted.


 Struggling to do everything right as I walk forward,


 Positive lessons' to take ahead, I've learned from 
 My past.

 At one time I put away my faith, put It high on 
 A shelf,

 Keep living, keep moving along, and try always.


 I've had losses and love lost but this won't end me,


 In this, things gained simultaneously.


 I still seek some of what's been lost, still within 
 Reach,

 Some gone forever, forever a memory.

               TREASURES OF THE LORD

 Into the darkness I stepped, wandering 
 Down a road,
 Left behind the trust and care for those 
 Whom hurt my soul.
 Alone I've stood on a hill so high, at the 
 Edge of the mountain,
 There was nothing for me to see, blinded by 
 What is humanity.
 Is this place I am in a creation of my own anger 
 And non-believing,
 Does darkness fade as the sun appears again 
 For a blind man?
 I've opened these eyes and learned to see 
 His masterpiece,
 The hills that are alive that rest beneath God's 
 Wide-open sky.
 The wind that sings as It blows through the 
 Ever so high trees,
 Rain that falls below Is a gift to us so that 
 We may watch life grow.
 From the sea to all that we need to be Is for 
 Us because he,
 Only he had a thought, the power to Imagine 
 That which we see.
 Treasures of the lord were placed down upon 
 From heaven,
 Only the greed of a man has stolen that which 
 To him belongs not.
 Every time I open my eyes the treasures of the 
 lord are seen,
 These are a gift, a reality that even the blind 
 May see.
