You had me at the dance
I didn’t have a clue
Arise to love perchance
How wonderful it’s you

Full Price
When alone and tied in knots
In the mirror confront my failings
And trouble God with all my thoughts
And wonder if he hears my wailings
Look at me, redeem my weakness
Hear me, and commute my greed
Then I find that His completeness
He paid in full, full price indeed

Taboo
For years we’ve said “I love you”
-as casual parting goodbyes.
And now we confront how taboo
-it’s become and all that it implies.
Must we kill this love and let it die
-to keep our friendship true?
As for me how much more will I
-shirk our mores to shout “I love you!”

A Fathers Day from Tig
From my 14-year-old sweet daughter!
“I have made prints of my little feet,
So you can remember when I was so small and sweet,
I will grow as the years go past,
But my love for you… will always last.”
If your Rooster is Lonely
We have a rooster named Rhett
He’s never been much of a pet
Used to have a bunch of hens
Gathered around in the pen
All day long he’d strut’n crow
Really put on a good show
All the hens were impressed
They felt safe in their nest
Then the critter came a prancing
The hungry Fox kept advancing
Swiftly pursuing his females
And did Rhett try to prevail?
Now the rooster named Rhett
Has a different mindset
He’s missing his girlfriends
Gone like so many whirlwinds
‘Cause when it comes to tending
And then to defending
He’s just a lonely screwball
A scared chicken after all

Emergency Room
Racing to the E.R. really bites!
‘Cause she took a header on the ice,
landed on her back to be precise,
and her wrist now pays the price.
So when it’s cold and slippery,
carefree walking leads to misery,
and if you move too briskly,
you end up special delivery….

Easter
He came to us in hour of need,
and on the cross, He died indeed,
all our sins laid bare,
once for all redeemed us there.
And now today He rose anew,
death and tomb, He passed through.
Hitherto lost were we,
He paid the price; now we’re free.
