Hate One Mystery Of Life Is The Mysteries Of Hate Which May Be Brought On Honesty Or By Fate Hate, An Over Used Tool By The World Today Many Times Camouflaged in “Play” Hate, For Sure Is The Opposite Of Love A Never Ending Gift From Below, Not Above -Clarence Motley

Happiness In the garden, in the moonlight, in the early morning mistI see joy and peace unending, I find love as yet unkissed. Countless days, countless moments, wonder when our task is doneTo know the wonder, of all beauty just a taste of battle won? Friendship, now yes, understanding, for our children, for our friendsKnow that this will never fade, no, not until we reach the end. Peace and love always a friend,

Clarence /?. Motley and friends

-Hank Homeless Living my whole life away day after day Having nothing to live for, but still I pray. Jobs only given to the qualified, people like me aren’t considered only denied. Six grade education with no skill trade. But still I pray that he lets me live day after day. I may not have turned out to be one of Gods greatest creation. But I’m one of his best children, and I praise that relation.

“I Was With Him” Before the mountains were settled, the hills were rolled,

“I WAS

i SPRING Life emerges new and fresh Gentle buttercups and violets Reach for the morning sun SUMMER The season of growing Child-like dreams of youth Innocence and endless fun Carefree We speak of love with no regrets

W-TH HIM” When he prepared the heavens, gave the seas their decree, “ I WAS WITH HIM” When he strengthened the fountains of the deep, established the clouds, “ I WAS WITH HIM” When there was no depths I was brought forth, I was set up for everlasting, “ I WAS WITH HIM” The Lord Possessed me in the beginning of His ways, before His works of old, “I AM WISDOM” -C.E.D. Seasons of Life

AUTUMN The season of reason signals Changing Times With maturity and harvest Leaves turn brown Hair silvers with age Memories sparkle then fade There is a chill in the evening air As the sun sets On Far Horizons WINTER The season of endings Silver hair yellows Life’s flame flickers On the haunting winds We grow tired and weary Reliving past lives We’ll live no more Waiting for the eternal sleep The long night Begins.. . . -James R. Depp Sr.
