I got an award today "Editor's Choice Award" for this poem. Happy The Face Paint War Some wars are started for political gain Some are started for power Now I tell of a war that face paint began Though I cannot tell you the hour A misunderstanding, a crossing of wires a Fall Festival plan undertaking Two volunteers to do the same job Both could have been sharing the making One had a happy spirit to play The other was trying to rule The angry one went on a tyrate you see Soon showing the world they were cruel Kicking and screaming the angry one left Making sure that everyone knew If they could not have it all to themselves A war would be waged through and through Charity Copyright ©2004

Legacy of Darwin:
Legacy Of Darwin Oh darwin the legacy you left behind Is no less than criminal, it blows my mind Your errors were great, your ego a plenty You lost your faith, your doubts were so many You claimed from a monkey all men have come Though it's never been proven, you can't be that dumb To think that the god up in heaven above Could be like a primate instead of like love Though faith has been lost in so many men It would seem that a new day's about to begin The word's getting out to prove you were wrong And your stay in hell is gonna be long

What Will It Matter
What Will It Matter What will it matter in a thousand years If you have shed a thousand tears Who will remember the pain that you felt when someone has hurt you made you heart melt Where will the memories of bad days gone by Be stored to look back on remembering why Why will you have any real hope at all Who will lift you when hence you do fall These are things everyone wonders but wait There is something to add and not hesitate It matters a lot to the One who cares most Our heavenly Father The Lord of Hosts your tears will be gone, your heart all aglow your sins will be cleansed just like the snow Restored is your hope and bad memories gone To sing forever that Heavenly song.

Stanley The Angel:
Stanley The Angel Stanley is an angel who is looking out for me Fighting off the demons and principalities He holds a mighty sword With a bright and shining light And all the evil demons tremble At his very sight Angels are surrounding us They're with us night and day Sent down here from heaven To protect us on our way Greed and hate and lonliness They cannot hold me tight When stanley sees them coming He fights with all his might The word of god is powerful And stanley's sword is strong But even though he runs them off They won't stay gone for long

Happy Birthday Mom
Happy Birthday Mom I can't help remembering what birthdays meant to you, You always made them special, with the little things you do Now today it's your turn, and your birthday's drawing near, But today you are with jesus, and we've missed you for a year. Though we know you're in a better place, And with your mom and dad, The loved ones that you left behind, they still are very sad. You meant so much to all of us, and filled our lives with joy A great wife to your husband, and sweet mother to your boy. Now that you are with the lord, and all your pain is past, You're free to walk and talk with him and sing your praise at last Those of us you left behind, we try hard not to cry, For we will reunite in heaven one day by and by.

When Once They Were Friends:
When Once They Were Friends
Two teenaged boys, they once were friends Together all the time You'd never see the one without, The other close behind. The movie parties, baseball games and pizza every week, An adam sandler dialog, Together they would speak. The silly grins, the crazy sounds, together they would joke But lately it would seem as though Their friendship's up in smoke. They just stopped making silly sounds And parties every week It seems these days it's hard pressed found To hear them even speak. But friendships that are truely real will last a whole life long Even if thier stubbornness says they were never wrong.

Talk To The Lord
Before you go to sleep tonight Just after turning off the light Before you close your eyes to sleep Talk to the lord Tell him how your day has gone Sing to him a thankful song Ask forgiveness of your sins and Talk to the lord I promise he will listen He hears you all the time He doesn't talk like you and i Because he is divine He lives inside your heart my friend And you must simply let him in Your life will truely then begin 'cause you, talked to the lord

This song I wrote a while back in 1995. I was a mentor in the Zell Miller mentor program for five years. I wrote this song and sang it at an end of the year dinner-awards night. Hope you like it.
Well he was just 10 years old And sometimes all alone He didn't have a friend that he could talk to. Well he lived inside a dreamworld a place he called his own, "Cause he thought nobody eles would understand
All the other kids around him would pretend he wasn't there they would pick at him and call him hurtful names. Well his spirit had been broken, and he didn't seem to care So sweet William tried to Never show his pain.
CHORUS
He'd say, "I wish someone would love me who would just show me the way-hey Please God send me an angel here today".
Well I think the Lord was listening "cause it wasn't very long that a man he didn't know came walking in He said, "I'd like to be your friend dear child to help you on your way Sometimes we just don't know where to begin
Don't you know you are a special child a blessing to us all and there's nothing in this world that you can't do You have a friend in me sweet William and I will not let you down I will try to always be there just for you
REPEAT CHORUS
He said, "I wish someone would love me who would just show me the way, hey Thank God you sent an angel here today Please God we need more angels here today.

Stanley The Angel Written by : Charity 1-31-1995
Stanley is an angel, who is looking after me. Fighting off the demons and the principalities. He holds a mghty sword with a bright and shining light and all the evil demons tremble at his very sight
CHORUS
Angels are surrounding us They're with us night and day Sent down here from Heaven to protect us on our way
Greed and hate and lonliness, they cannot hold me tight. When Stanley sees them coming, he fights with all his might. The Word of God is powerful, and Stanley's sword is strong, but even though he runs them off they don't stay gone for long.
REPEAT CHORUS
The angels have a hard time fighting demons every day. Their power you see, it comes from us, but only when we pray. So give the angels all your help and don't let prayer subside. One day there will be no place for evil left to hide.
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE.
THE END

The Lord has taken my good friend home
HIgh up in Heaven He'll happily roam
Talking to Jesus and holding His hand
Hoping his loved ones will soon understand
That death's just a doorway we all enter in
So that eternal life can surely begin
God gives us this promise in The Good Book you know
And He cleanses us fresh as the pure driven snow
My friend was like a bright shining star
Shining so bright you could see from afar
He had such a beauty, inside and out
A sweet precious person, noone could doubt
The time that I knew him was precious you see
For him and his family are a blessing to me
He touched all our lives in a sweet gentle way
And you can be certain he's in Heaven today
He's watching his loved ones from Heaven above
And filling their spirits with so much love
He will be missed by all in this town
And by so many more who lived all around
He touched all our lives in a special way
And if he could be here, I know he would say
"I'm happy my friends, for I'm with The Lord
Please don't be sad, or cry anymore
We'll all be together, united one day
Until that time comes, let us all be strong
And pray that the Lord does not tarry long

I wrote this song several years ago. I play guitar and write songs a lot. Hope ya like it. . I can't play it for ya here on my guitar of course, but here are the lyrics.
My phone it rang this morning and
George Bush he said to me
Get your gear together, You're going overseas.
You're going to the desert where
the the sand is and hot
so get your redneck in there, and give it all you got.
CHORUS Well is Hussein insane well nobody knows his hair is kinda greasy and he wears such funny clothes he tries to act like Hitler and he thinks he's awefully cute well he's the first darned terrorist I'd really like to shoot.
Well these desert nights get lonely,
and to keep me company
I've got an M-1 missle
that sleeps right next to me.
I'm out of suntan lotion and
I'm using vaseline
"cause petroleum is richer
Than I have ever seen.
REPEAT CHORUS
The days are getting longer,
and I miss my mom and dad.
Used to be the meanest redneck,
that Georgia ever had.
If we don't resolve this soon you know,
I'm gonna lose my head
and Saddam Hussein is gonna wish
his poor old butt was dead.
REPEAT CHORUS

Let'S Take Back America
Well I've been stayin' up late at night watching all the news shows trying to get a handle on the way things are Different kinds of people talkin' different kinds of problems and I'm wonderin' how this country ever got this far.
Don't you know that America Was built on christianity God bless America, that's not just words Noone's gonna save us but The lord Jesus Christ And the way things are going we don't have much time.
Have we just gotten lazy And we don't have the energy To get up off our pews and to get on fire? We've got to tell the people bout the lord Jesus Christ 'cause the way things are going we don't have much time.
Don't you know that America Was built on christianity God bless America, that's not just words Noone's gonna save us but The lord Jesus Christ And the way things are going we don't have much time.
Satan's blowing up our cities And he's blowing up the Pentagon he's killing all our children in our freedom home It's time to turn to Jesus And to offer up our prayers We must turn back to the bible cause we're not alone.
