A Rainbow of Feelings
My Thoughts on People from Inside of Me

Book Cover & Preview Text
Looking at the golden age
Wrinkles, sagging skin.
Gray and white hair
What does that really mean?
Is it the age of the person
That makes us call them the Golden age?
If I look at the outside of a person
That I call the golden age
It would be a place in time
That I would never want to be
But If I looked at the golden age
From a different point of view
Then maybe I would say it could be me
I would look at the inner spirit of the person
I call the golden age
And see what peace they have
And the long life they have
How the ladies watch themselves
Turn from a blossoming flower into a gray and dim person
On the outside
The Men watch themselves turn from a stud into an unmuscled frail man
But the inside tells a different story
They are happy in there
Dreams just like you and me
They play and they dance and sing songs
And they write and some of them even ride bikes
They didn’t forget how to write sing and play,
They didn’t forget how to be happy
The golden age lets me know
That this is what it is
The golden age is gold
Like God said
Gold is so refine
So the golden age means the best you can be
After all you were
You are golden now
So that is what it means to me
To be the golden age
I would never see the golden age
As something or someone I
Would never want to be
Or someone I would feel sorry for
But I wish to live one day
To be called the golden age
Now I see it, it could be me
Now I see it, it could be me

Use What God Gave You
Do you see the trees?
They are as happy as they can be
Look up in the sky
They were made for you and me
Take advantage of nature
For one day you will be deceased
Take advantage of nature
It makes you feel so free
You have the ability to swim
You have the ability to climb
You have the ability
To use your hands,
It’s a gift to all mankind.
Incline your ears
To this poem
It’s been a long time coming
It has been for you
And me to see
That the Earth belongs to us
That the sky and the waters
Have been given to us
Enjoy your time here,
Don’t cry and sigh here
Not all day long
Not all day long
This is for you and me
Not to make you blue,
But to make you see
Use what God gave you
What God gave you
Enjoy what He has given you
With His hands
So live your life
And understand
It is God’s plan
It is God’s plan
Use it before you expire,
Before it’s too late
Relate to my poems now
It has been a long time
Coming to you
Know that it is here
They are a reminder
For you to see
God’s work at play
Every day of your life
God made it for you and me
I know you can see it
Clearly now!
