A GUY LIKE YOU OR ME


 “A man was lost, and knew not What-ta-Do, and trouble dogged his steps day-After-day. If only he could find a helpful clue, but he was much too proud, and dumb, ta pray. When things would get real bad, 'twas then he'd cop, and straighten up awhile, and have success. Habitual doubt, he knew he had ta drop, and Always trust the Lord ta guide and bless. And so the man began ta practice peace, and often wait and pray before he'd act. He knew that his rebelliousness must cease, for him ta find the wisdom that he lacked. So, Lord, please, Help out every soul like that! Help Everyone ta walk the Rainbow Way! Ta Love like You 's Exactly Where it's At – please, Help us Love! In Jesus' name, we pray! Amen!”

LET THE BUYER BEWARE!


Beware O Buyer, stores can rob you blind! Not everybody loves you, that's a fact. No, folks can be unscrupulous, unkind; unwary innocents can those attract! Be careful, pay attention, pray ahead – yes, be prepared for liars, cheats, and thieves. Why get ripped off? Get smart instead! The one who errs will be the one who grieves!”

WE NEED YOUR LOVE


 “How often we get harmed by things we've done, as though it were ourselves that we'd destroy. So recklessly toward trouble, people run – I started, back when I was but a boy. Lord, grant your mercy, guide us every day, we human beings need your wisdom so. You really are the Truth, the Life, the Way; your Love, dear Lord, is what we need ta know.”

TRUTH AND LIES


(Truth is accurate information about the here-and-now in the here-and-now. And everybody knows where it's at all the time.)

“When human minds get compromised by lies, their hearts begin ta function not as well; the love within them somewhat fades and dies, and that we call a certain form of hell. But Heaven's now available ta all, because we know that truth will ring its bell. And we don't have to into error Fall, if words are true, we certainly can tell!”

WHY DON'T YA THINK IT OVER?


 “If You been doin' wrong, why not repent? Or do ya think ya got too much ta lose? If you would be a happy gal, or gent, your common Sense is what ya need ta use. So what is gonna be the end result? It's better not ta shuck yourself, one bit. And, Are ya gonna be a true Adult? That habit might be somethin' You could quit! Why don't ya think it over, do it now? 'Cause surely Heaven wants to help you out, the Holy Spirit sure kin show ya How, and You Can Do It, pal, I have no doubt!”

 “We're made of various and sundry parts; our pride insists that we Exalt our Junk. Though life may offer tests, and some we'll flunk, it's plain these junk-piles sometimes have pure hearts. The Spirit part forever will endure, its truth and beauty's always gonna last. And though ya might have Blown it in the Past, your love shall Live, of this ya Can be Sure!”

WHY BE A FOOL?

(note for myself)

“Intelligent, but thinking like a fool – there’s many folks around the World like that. We monkeys tend ta think we’re Wise, and Cool, but Doing so is Nuts, not Where it’s At! Yes, vanity is foolish, through and through; when You be Proud, you’re apt ta blow it bad! So don’t be vain, if you would have a clue, but humbly pray, dear self, and You’ll be Glad!” “Why be a fool, when Life’s a School?!”
