Thank You, Sam Cooke

His voice makes me feel better
When I'm not feeling right
It helps soothe me
When I feel plight

Thank you God
For his birth
And the music he left
When he left the Earth

He was here before my time
But that's alright with me
He helps me in the here and now
Although his spirit is now free

Whether with the Soul Stirrers
Or singing by himself
You should check him out
Don't leave him on the shelf

I know what you're thinking
"She loves so and so"
But if you actually really knew me
You'd know I'm deeper than what shows

Thank you,Sam Cooke
I send that to where you dwell in peace
Thank you for lifting my spirits
May your eternal blessings never cease

You're The Reason

You're the reason
I'm hanging on
Because of you
I try to be strong

You're the only one
Who's my true friend
I know your love
Will never end

You're the most
Wonderful man
I know we'll be together
When God says we can

I want you so badly
But you're over there
We talk every day
I'm blessed that you care

We'll continue to bond
Night and day
And until our time
I'll pine my life away

Hey, Mr Sam Cooke

Hey, Mr Sam Cooke
Where ever you are, take a look

This is a thank you poem
I think you know 'em

The one's where I say you touched my heart
How your lyrics to me are truly art

Though you left before my arrival
You've been a little part of my survival

No negative attachments to your songs
I've listened to you my whole life long

I listen to you when I'm down
Then the blues don't wanna stick around

Your music puts a smile on my face
My heart for you holds a special place

Mr. Sam Cooke, where ever you are
Forever to me, you'll be a star

Day By Day

A house is not a home
Without you there
Without you in my world
I belong nowhere

Just hanging in there
Fulfilling my mission
Wondering how long
I'll stay in this position

Just doing God's will
As long as He wants
I gotta be truthful
The loneliness  haunts

All I know to do
Is to keep my eyes on the prize
You're the ultimate reward
At least in my eyes

The Car And The Engine

The car was finely assembled
Later the engine was too
Both were made
To do what they do

The car was a beauty on it's own
The engine made it enhance
Without the engine, the car was still admired
The engine was made for it and not by chance

Then one day the car was totaled
By years of wear and tear
The engine was removed
It was more than it could bear

The engine was left in the salvage
To rust away as it said goodbye
Waiting one day to be reunited with car
In the big repair shop in the sky
