Here, new songs will be posted, with the expectation that there will be new entries on a weekly basis. The songs will usually tell a story, imbedded with life lessons.
Nourishing The Seed
I was there in the rough, oh, I nourished the Seed
That day I was tending to everyone’s need
Outside it was hot, well, that’s what he said
I was working to insure all were, well, fed
They came from so close, oh, they came from afar
Some came by hoof, oh, they followed a star
The sun shown so bright, do you think that it’s right
If that sun don’t go down before that moonlight
I was there in the rough, oh, I nourished the Seed
That day, I was tending to everyone’s need
Porque, you may say, well I say Olay
And, life, as it is, I’ll live it my way
Do you think that it’s cool, to judge a poor fool
Or, should you be thoughtful and ask him to stay
Do you think that it’s wrong to sing one last song
With those that are helpless, do you help them get along
Do you help plant that seed for those so in need
Will you leave them behind, why are you blind
Porque, you may say, well I say Olay
I nourish that seed, I tend to their need
I was there in the rough, oh, I nourished that Seed
That day I was tending to everyone’s need
Outside it was hot, well, that’s what he said
I was working to insure all were well fed
Porque you may say, well I say Olay
I nourish the seed, I tend to their need ,, yea …

Warm Hearted Dog
He’s my Warm Hearted Dog, hey, don’t you know
He’ll fetch his ball, right over there, just for show
And, when he’s on a Squirrel Chase, it’s like a Race Car Race
Like lightning in the sky, oh, watch him go
He likes to bark sometimes, in the night
He doesn’t always do those things that are so right
And when he’s barking at the moon, it’s such a glorious tune
He may have to go out, in the night
He’s a good friend to you and me, oh, he’s the best
He looks just like an angel, at his rest
Sometimes, he gets Loco and acts just like a pest
But, he’s my Warm Hearted Dog and he’s my best
Well, you know that it’s true, he’ll do many things for you
Like, give you one fine shirt, right off his back
And, that’s not all, you know, he’ll make that sunshine glow
Not an ounce of love, for you, he has, for you, he’ll lack
He’s my Warm Hearted Dog, hey, don’t you know
He’ll fetch his ball right over there, just for show
And, when he’s on a Squirrel Chase, it’s quite that rapid race
Like lightning, in the sky, oh, watch him go
So, this is my best friend, the love we have, won’t end
No matter if all those trees burn up in that Wood
He’s always, right there in my heart, we’re never far apart
And, I’d pet him soft again, only if I could ….
