Amazing Love
I never knew there could be such love.
It really blew my mind.
Now, I know I’ll always need your love.
You’ve been my greatest find.
I was down on myself the most.
You brought me into the light.
I was behaving like I was a ghost.
You showed me wrong from right.
I want to tell you just how I feel.
I want you right by my side.
I want to show you that my love is real.
I’m not just along for the ride.
A time may come when I slip away.
I never trusted myself.
But, I’ll come running back to stay.
I can’t give up my wealth.
You make me feel like a millionaire.
Although, I don’t have a dime.
I think , in time, I’ll be a zillionaire.
Because you are so fine.————————R. W. Johnson—–(2006)
Ages Of Life
Age is like a flower growing.
Pushing upward & outward with a mighty will.
Age is like a river flowing.
Going faster, then slower till it’s still.
Age is like a tractor pulling.
It goes on & on with endless power.
Age is like a Mack truck rolling.
Hour after hour.
Age is like a faithful old dog
who, despite his age, when called, will come.
Age is like a white wispy fog
that fades away in the brightness of the morning sun.
