Chapter One
The Lollipop There are many times
That a selection is required,
The selection made is
Sometimes inspired,
By the looks or
What the people say,
By emotions and
Sometimes even by survey
The lollipop for example
A piece of candy with little to no rejection,
At times when you can only take one
You try making a selection
From all the flavors
That are being displayed,
You wonder how
A single selection could ever be made
Life is even
Presented that way,
So many flavors
All in one day
Still you wonder
What to do,
Flavors of Life
The flavor you choose is up to you
So Fast So Young There are some people
Who want to look bigger than they are
So they cheat, lie, steal
However, they just don't get afar
And when it all has been said and done
Last song sang and sung
Final word along with condolences
Oh my oh my
They lived so fast and died so young
Confess We shall make it to
Where we planned
We shall make it
Hand in hand
We shall make it
And that's no lie
We shall make it
When we pray
We shall make it
One more day
And after that one more day
There's always one more
I don't know anybody else's story
Mine-that's worth praying for
Being here one more day is truly a blessing
I will gladly stand up and say
Thank you God, thank you Lord for one more day
That's when others will want to start confessing
There is a sweet relief
That comes from confessing but
Do not confess for the show
Confess because you want to let somebody know
Just how good He is to you
And confess only what is true
Where You Went To get to nowhere
Stay where you are
Nowhere is just that far
Don't move
Don't you know?
In order to get nowhere
Just don't go
Then you can
Honestly say
Nowhere when asked
Where you went today
Don't do the same thing the
Next day
Unless where you are now
Is where you have chosen to stay
Unless it is
Where you are content
Everyday same story
Nowhere is where you went
Springs Hope springs eternal
Eternal springs forever
No hope springs nothing as well as never
If you have nothing
But insist on giving
Me your all
Please keep it and try
Building it up
I don't want to have
Any parts of a
Further downfall
If you give me nothing
I may as well be content
Because nothing only goes
Where nothing went
Now that should do
Something for your thought process
I say no more
This is yes less
Witness Needed When I don't know
Where I don't know
Who I don't know
What I don't know
And I don't want to know
If it is not my business
Now, I want to know
Do I have at least
One witness
This is when I press
The business issue
When it comes to witnesses
Do I have at least two?
Who...
