"A MOMENT IN TIME"


 A speck of dust, a trickle of water,


 Soon would blow with the wind and dry 
 Into nothing.

  Our time Is now fore we are a whisper wanting 
  To be heard,

  A short period for laughter, remembered for
  What we leave.

  For so long has time existed, the world, the 
  Universe so large,

  We are but a fragment, a particle of all that 
  Was created.

  A moment In time was this gift we were given 
  From God above,

  A moment to see and love all there Is to 
   Understand From this.

  Where we go from here we shall not know, but 
  Hold no fear,

  Like many fallen leaves from a tree we are one, 
  We disappear.

                                     A NEW TODAY



  Time to let go of certain things, days past,



  People I thought were my friends, ends.



  Life does change, unexpected adventures,



  A new day comes my way, a road of surprises.



  Relief is at this moment a friend indeed to me,



  Scary is change, where do I go from here I say,



 A new day, today, what is gone is no more, I am 
 On my way.

            A DRIFTING MAN


  On a road of travel without any end,


  Rests his weary body wherever he can.


  Sleeps in the night hidden from sight,


  Days' of length, the next stop is any place.


  From town to town he wanders with hope,


  Worry fills his head about that next meal.


  Find a job and stay in one place a short while,


  Friends and smiles disappear with the miles.


  A drifting man sees much of the land,


  Meets many faces, lonely where he stands.


  A price he pays to live in such a way,


 There's a gift in seeing the world,


  What's taken away is the peace of settling in 
  One place.

  He chooses a path, he's a wandering man,


  Today he's here, gone again.

                                    TELL ME A STORY!


  Pretty lady talk to me, tell me a story about things' 
  To be,



  Let me lay my head In your lap, close these eyes, 
  Listen to you.



  Say those things' that only I can hear, let me dream 
  of your words,



  Let the magic of the tale come to life as this fantasy 
  Continues.



  Tell me a story as only you can bring It to reality, 
  It breathes,



  You are thoughts' living In my head, you are my story.




  It Is you who are my fantasy, you are my dream,




  You make me breathe, you are that pretty lady.




                                    Tell me a story,


                                       Keith Garrett 

                                             ADAM


   From his death were heard cries of pain,



  A man no more, a girl, a memory, all has changed.



  No more of this Earth, onward, a souls journey to 
  Another life,


  Somewhere In heaven, he dwells by the Lord's side.



  With those who loved him, he had a place,



  In their hearts, forever In their thoughts.



  Remembering always that this was a mother's child,



  A sister's brother, a child's father, or a girl who 
  Loved him

 Even though he was not perfect and sometimes a 
 Bit wild,


  He was once a small child who played In the dirt,



  Played In the water, and sometimes got hurt.



  This was his time to go, no more pain or sorrow 
  Will he know,


  Up In the sky, fly away, fly.

                                  A WORLD OF SICKNESS

  As the world grows older we see that with it 
   The world Grows crowded,

  So many people cover the lands stretching far 
  And wide, The world does not grow.

  This is a beautiful place that has been given to us 
   All but Together we are losing,

  Survival may be harder than it was hundreds of 
   Years ago As We can not sleep wherever.

 We can't just wake from sleep and shoot our breakfast,  
  The Creek is not always there,

  To camp beneath any given tree is now frowned  
   Upon as Our society changes towards the rich.

 Desperation and anger are greater than ever before, 
  This we Hear each day from words spoken,

  Protests over many issues that do not change, only 
  The Mistrust for those high above grow.

  Deceived daily are we, sometimes by the people 
  We may Know But scarrier are those whom control,

  Lies, broken promises, pay-offs from hand to hand, 
  Between Powerful people, and government man.

  The fight to own, but in the end they'll take from you 
   Your Home,  we are violated as they spy, fear grows,

  A world of sickness lives as we struggle to keep our 
   Health  And sanity, Neverending traffic brings hell,

    A world of sickness forever grows because the more 

                             LOST IN THE WILD

  To step outside the world I've known,
  Leave It all behind and those who know me.



  Off on a great journey to see It all,
  Into the wilderness as If nothing else matters' 
  Anymore.


  To try things never tried before,
   Experience life through a new open door.



  Perhaps a fear of what lies ahead,
  I trek across the land, survive If I can.



  See many new things from my eyes,
  Into the night I hear nature cry.



  Not expecting never to go home again,
  Lost In the wild Is where my life ends.


                            Keith Garrett 

                                     TEARS FROM THE SKY



  Watching the smog as it fills up high,


  Polluted water, senseless acts day and night.


  Wars of destruction, the greed in a man,


  Acts of violence that destroy nature and human 
  Beings.

  Trash fills the streets, anger and hate consume,


  What are we doing in our world of doom
  Evil thoughts, random killings go on,


  The family structure dissolves, crumbles and falls.


 Tears from the sky, god watches as our time goes by,


 Stand back and watch, you just might cry.

                                Keith Garrett

                          IMPOSSIBLE?


  Impossible things, are they to be Imagined,


  To walk on the moon, travel to mars.


  See and touch the oceans' floor,


  Climb a mountain and reach for more.


  It can be done, walking from coast to coast,


  Break the sound barrier, faster than the speed 
  Of sound.

  Travel in a balloon, across the world you go,


   Fly in the sky, jump from the highest height.


  Impossible things,Impossible you say,


  To rid the world of disease and cancer,


  Can this be a possibility one day.


  To love one another, hold hands across this
  World,

  Terror put to an end, war only a bad dream,


  To all Impossible things, to the next one who 


  Can make it a reality.


                                   Keith Garrett

                                I'M GETTING OLDER


  I first opened my eyes, once tiny and bright to this
  World,

  A memory I do hold but remember not as I was a baby.


  Pictures of my life are few compared to the window of
  My mind,

  Once only a child, things I knew were also few, children 
  Who played.,

  With this child are lost with time, always in my mind.


 The world seems smaller as my life has spread further 
  With the passing days,

  I'm getting older, once I was a young teenager moving 
  Ever so fast,

  Birthday to birthday comes a new number pinned to my 
  Aging soul.

  Grateful am i with a much appreciated thank you and 
  Love of God,

 That he has given me life this long, I hope and pray that 
  One day I'll

  Be forever remembered and once in a while thought of 
  By you.

  I'm getting older, maybe a touch wiser, possibly a 
  Better me,

  I'm getting older, remember who I am, my name is
  Keith.

  I am a mortal man living in this gift layed in my hand.
