Purpose
By Samuel K Byrd Is it that our destiny can be determined by stars? Or is it just pure dumb luck that has got us this far Most of us search for some purpose in our lives Only to be characterized as a mother, father as husbands or wives But are we only defined by how we are perceived by another? Or is it something else that keeps us from going further What was lost can be gained again Sometimes we just need a comforting word from a close friend The job is gone; you're back to renting and you had to trade in the Jag We need to focus more on what we have instead of what we had Everything in this world is rented, borrowed, and will soon expire So, live for you and not others’ wants needs and desires |
Ditching the Dirt Roads â„¢ by S. Kristopher ByrdI've driven these same dirt roads back and forth, over and over again. The dust on my boots, the mud on my flaps is the dirt left by my past that I considered a win. Riding carefree with the windows down, sun in my face unaware of the world around me and what's taking place. Out here I'm free, free to be whoever I wanna be not having to conform to the whims of society. However, dirt roads still have have rules to follow and when enforced my pride I must now swallow. Like the truck in which I traveled these dirt roads so freely I've been towed, impounded, now faced with a harsh reality. I've asked myself, what does a captain and pilot both share? A destination and a navigator to safety get them there. Someone to plot the best path for the destined route |

Jesus 2018By Samuel K Byrd
What if Jesus was to come back in 2018? Much like the way he did back when The son of God sent to walk amongst mortal men
What country would he see? And this time what would his profession be A Plummer, a lawyer, a senator from Illinois, possibly
Would his message be well received? If he had disciples, how many would he need? Would his miraculous miracles be believed?
Would he be able to breathe life into a struggling economy? Take a land that thrives in tyranny and restore harmony Calm the concerns of seniors and make them feel healthy
Would he bring forth change in these trying times? Would we see a decline in violent crime? Should we be able to feel safe and have peace of mind?

When The Smile FadesWhen The Smile Fades By Samuel K Byrd
There, that’s right, yes, do it again That’s it yeah, no, don’t stop Don’t you ever stop, I want you to always Smile for me
As long as I can see that smile on your face I know that with you I’ve earned my place
A smile, just a simple smile Followed by a short laugh Just for that small request I would trade in all I have But what happens when the smile fades?
No, no, no You not smiling, is something I could not conceive Never, never, never Would I make you frown, something you can believe?
To look a pond the face of the one that helps me get through the day How could I allow anyone, even my self? To bring pain your way... |
Angel Returned to HeavenAngel Returned to Heaven (In Memory of My Sister) An angel returned to heaven today To bring order to disarray Armed with beauty, charm and compassion An angel returned to heaven today In our hearts she will forever stay |
No Turning BackNo Turning Back by S. Kristopher Byrd
Life and boxing are much the same Both take courage to play the game It's not the hits you give It’s the ones you take
To step in to this ring It’s heart you must bring Most won’t try to participate Some sit out and only speculate
But not I
I’m not giving up, no I’m not turning back I’ll stay the course even when my life is off track The path I’m on will be filled with potholes But I’m not giving up, no I’m not turning back
Knocked down 5, got up 6 Took 10 shots, only 4 I missed You say can’t, I say can Quit is what I can’t understand
Will walk through fire To prove you’r... |

Common SenseWith gas prices constantly going up It seems like the perfect time to buy The new Hummer truck The government is pushing to cut child care So you'll need to have at least 2 more kids to get a raise from welfare Fresh out of jail finished with your 2nd conviction Go right back to selling dope because now You know how to beat the system The car cost 3 grand the rims cost 6 TVs in the back of a the car Where no one sits 5 kids 3 baby mammas does that make any sense Child support, day care, new shoes 3 pack of condoms priceless 1 in 5 people don't know that they are infected with aids On Jeff Foxworthy's show no one can pass the fifth grade Hollywood doctors prescribing drugs Sending celebrities to an early grave No wonder we can't seem to find a 6 foot Arab On dialyses t... |
