Eating A Chocolate Cookie

Eating A Chocolate Cookie

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Are you sure you wanted to do what you did

I can imagine that she is a little angel

But you had a combination which would lead to trouble

Did you even look at the cookie before you gave it to her

A pretty little girl and a handful of semi-liquid chocolate

Did you think that anything else was going to happen

Maybe though you never gave the cookie to her

More than likely she found the cookie jar and opened it

And suddenly three or four chocolate cookies disappeared

Now, if that was truly what happened don’t you dare get mad at her

Just grab the one cookie left in the jar

Sit down with her and enjoy sharing her treasures

But Mom or Dad make sure you make a mess eating it

After all, that little girl knew the right way to eat cookies

And maybe you could learn a little something about manners from her

Xmas At Grandma’s

Xmas At Grandma’s

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I think everyone has the same memories

Their family is going to Grandma’s house for the holidays

Grandma always gave us the same Christmas gifts

Books of Life-Saver candies and a ten-dollar bill

But that never mattered to any of us

We had a BIG meal and got to see Grandma 

And that was all we ever wanted

Country Road At Night

Country Road At Night

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Traveling on a country road is best at night

You are all alone with your soul

There is very little of the world around you

Most of everything is hidden in the darkness

There are no sounds to be heard

And very little, if any, life to be seen

You really have no idea how far you have traveled

Nor do you have the foggiest idea where you are

You end up with an unknown amount of time spent

After all there is nothing to steal away your thoughts

True, you may not like it

But if you relax and enjoy the experience

It may be your best memory ever

I Will Always Love You

I Will Always Love You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I cannot help it

I was born this way

Blame my parents

They made me who I am

Now you know what is going to happen

You are for sure going to love me

I will be your cuddly little furball

I just hope that your love will last

I will be here for ten years or more

But please remember one thing

No matter how old I get

I will always love you

And you will always be my family

Snowflake

Snowflake

by Lord R.e. Taylor

A child’s life is special

Rushing outside on a winter day

Waiting with their tongue out

Hoping for that one, special snowflake

With the perfect shape and the perfect taste

That will make the child’s day perfect

An Angel’s Tears

An Angel’s Tears

by Lord R.e. Taylor

God’s kingdom on Earth

No longer the paradise He wanted

It has fallen too far out of His control

Hate kills for no reason

And people celebrate it

Man-made diseases killed millions

And only a few cared anything about it

Maybe God does care in His own way

He would have sent His angels

Asking them to take the pain His people suffered

But they may only have so many tears

So, Humans have to suffer for things they have done

And they will continue to do so

Robin Redbreast

Robin Redbreast

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Sadly, winter is here

With the cold and snow

But you know it isn’t going to last

The time is coming and not too far off

There are so many robins just waiting

And they know you are getting desperate

Soon they will all come to you

Winter will disappear and spring will come

All because a robin stops by to say hi
