A calling I'm unable to deny Is heard within the clouds, which dart in front of me With only the hum of my twin engines, to keep me company I steer this craft, with breathless thoughts, across the endless sky I think back to younger days, in my dreams of yesteryear Wishing I could go back, and begin all over again Correcting mistakes made, in the years left to me To change what was lost in the harm, which I caused To the ones that I love so much If only this could be, before I'm laid to rest As I climb atop the snow covered mountains Heading west across the wilderness, which lie before my eyes I search for grace, to heal the pain that remains inside of me I hear the echoes of another voice Towards the peace, where my soul longs to be It calls me back, to where I belong A wayward son returning To the family he left behind And a home, where my heart will never leave As I carried along with the wind Written by: Roland R.

Every day this well remains uncapped brings death a little closer Time is slowly running out our Gulf Coast needs a closure   If by the grace of God we’re able to stop the flow of oil Years will be needed to clean our shores to again become unspoiled Not to mention the loss of life atop the shoreline beneath the ocean Even know the cessations of life stirs lively commotions   From those who live along the coast, making a honest living They will suffer untold damage from their lively way of giving Caused soulfully by man’s stupidity in drilling so terribly deep Now Mother Nature will decide when to stop the tears she weeps   Written by:  Roland R.
