The Scottish Rainbow

The Scottish Rainbow

By R.e. Taylor

In seven days God made the Earth

With water and sky

Animals and finally man

Then He looked at what He created

And He found one land

A land where the people were brave

Defending their land with all they had

Loyalty to not only their country

But even more so to their families

They were also the most inventive of all

Creating a drink which took over the world

So, He decided to show His love for those people

On one visit He waved His hands and the clouds parted

In their place a shining silver rainbow

A rare gift to Scotland and the Scottish people

And a sign of His admiration for His special creation

Tear In The Sky

Tear In The Sky

 

There's a tear in the sky

Allowing my hopes to fly away

So many memories have died

Lost to the infinite space

My past is no longer with me

I can't remember our love

Our kisses or our touches

So, if you can see the same tear

Know that my tears are flowing

And know that somewhere out there

My love for you is out there waiting

Waiting for you to say that you care

And that you cried for me too

That would help to close the tear

So maybe I can find you again

The Perfect Christmas

The Perfect Christmas

By R.e. Taylor

Let’s escape reality

Christmas is coming

We don’t need green grass

We need another place

A place with snow on the roof

Smoke coming from the chimney

And a welcoming light out front

We need to make Christmas complete

There is only one way to do that

We need to go to Grandma’s house

That’s the best Christmas anyone can have

And we will be the ones to do it

The Old Lady’s Truth

The Old Lady’s Truth

She was a woman of love

Helping to raise her family

All the children, grandkids and great grandkids

She helped the neighbors

And more than a few strangers

Everyone knew her and everyone loved her

But her time came and went

One day God came down and called her home

She left everyone and everything behind

Unfortunately, her friends and family

They forgot all about her

And they never come to visit her old home

Maybe if they had they would see the old woman

Still sitting in the wheelchair, she used for so long

Looking at the door and silently crying

She asks God why she has been left all alone

He doesn’t answer her right away

Instead He places His hand on her shoulder

And He tells her that, as long as she is under His care

She will never truly be alone, and she will always be loved

She looks at Him and she smiles knowing that it all true

Life Can Be Hard

Life Can Be Hard

Sometimes life can be hard

Maybe it was designed like that

Often you may want to give up

When a bottle of booze helps

Or maybe you are thinking of pills

After all, they can end the suffering

But life doesn’t really want you to surrender

It made you to fight everything that comes

So, don’t ever back down

No matter what life throws at you

Just turn and walk away

Tell life that it will not win today

And it won’t win tomorrow or ever

After all, things always get better

And it would suck not to see it

The Moon And My Heart

The Moon And My Heart

I wonder

Do you see what I see

You can’t imagine how I feel

Looking at the full moon as it rises

I know in my heart that you are with me

Looking at the same moon as it sets

It is at that rarest of moments

When our hearts are joined

So please, when you see the moon and its cool silvery light

Know that it is carrying the only gift I have to send to you

The heart of a man who loves you beyond all time

You Will Never Be Alone

You Will Never Be Alone

I knew you when you were young

Planted in a green field

Nicely mown grass

Bright sun always shining

And a beautiful moon to light your night

But you have spent your life alone

It was not by your choice

Everyone who sees you knows that

But as long as birds nest in your branches

As long as lovers kiss in your shade

And as long as dogs pee on your trunk

You will never truly be alone
