merry christmas
to the good old days

to time that past
that time that didn't last
until today

open your presents
wrapped in paper
and bows

who knows
whats left behind
the presents
that didn't last
we didn't find

was it last year
or the year before
who know's what's in store

memories
histories
who wants to see's
the used to be's

cowboy hat's
where i'm at's
guess thats that's

christmas for me
ain't no used to be's
they didn't last

that's all in the past

but for me
is a christmas tree
one time a year
it's dear

so hear me say
hear me play
hear me stay

in cowboy hat's
and where i'm at's
i sit's
where i be
and i see
history

here or there
nowhere
i swear
do i see
GOD'S LOVE
ain't that a mystery

you be you
i be me
who is HE
that made us BE

history
is an amazing thing
it bring
the song we sing

so a ? for you

if GOD ain't GOD
then who is?
not i r u

so what do u & i du

do u think GOD cares
how we spells
or writes
or what we says


sorry,
no worry to me

GOD,
my GOD
stays
even in deep wells
or the lies i tells

my GOD dwells
in histories
in my own mysteries

my GOD lives in my ME's

there are no religions
only philosophies
my GOD dwells with me's

so for CHRIST'S sake
MOHAMMED
BUDDAH
or JEWED
PAGANS
SATANIST6

for any color
or creed
for those in need
or those with greed
i plead ...

for one day
for one day
say
pray
for LOVE
who ever your GOD BE

please, please
ease
life's pain
for 1 day what is the cost
for your GOD or mine
for 1 day what is the lost
please be kind

stop
for 1 day
12/25
say this day
no one will die

call it what you will
we will all fight still
we will still kill
but for 1 day
let GOD have HIS will
your's or mine
for 1 day
please don't kill

this year
say
love is better than war

for 1 day
remember who you are
a being
still try to seeing
from afar
love or war
find who YOU R!


be glad on 12/25
you are alive

merry & happy and to all
the above
LOVE

-Texas
