You Are My Waking Dream
You're My Waking Dream
by Michael Doyle
Many say that love is a journey.
It's felt that way in my memory.
When we met, I knew my destiny
Was the love between you and me.
Whispers build their own monument,
But I know that you are heaven-sent.
From the very first, you said hello
I've waited for all that would follow.
You are my beautiful everything,
The true cause behind why I sing.
I know that you're my waking dream,
To me, the most beautiful human being.
Your sweet eyes shed truth to clarify,
And this feeling between you and I
That tells me that your heart is all I need,
Deeper than any book that I'll ever read.
There is so much to love in your laugh to hear.
The way you smile makes me want you near
I can hear it in every word you give to me.
As we play with words so tender and lovingly.
You are my beautiful everything,
The true cause behind why I sing.
I know that you're my waking dream,
To me, the most beautiful human being.
Only children usually know this feeling.
It's sent my head spiraling and reeling.
In the way that we so naturally flow.
It doesn't take a wise man to realize and know.
I could never find anyone who so completes me,
Than the you I have found in our possibility.
You teach me moment by moment about my emotions,
As I find in your heart the cause of my devotion.
You are my beautiful everything,
The true cause behind why I sing.
I know that you're my waking dream,
To me, the most beautiful human being.

First Principles: Once A Government Is Committed To the Principles of Silencing the Voice of Opposition, It Has Only One Way To Go, and That Is Down the Path of Increasingly Repressive Measures
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” – Harry S. Truman
(Precisely what was attempted by the DNC, Bari Obama, HRC, and the Biden Administration. We must be eternally vigilant to stop these attempts to take our republic from us, We the People. Hiding these repressive measures under lawfare does not make it any less repressive.)

I Want To Write A Praise Song
I Want To Write A Praise Song
by Michael Doyle
I know that the past is always present.
It's nothing to me that I will resent.
The scars are a reminder of where
I fell down, and God was always there.
I was struggling, unable to catch my breath.
The hurt ran deep enough to meet my death.
But His hand was there to help me to my feet,
In His salvation, I found victory over defeat.
There are times I am weak and timid.
Lost within myself and feeling my limits.
But at this moment, Lord, I am strong,
And so I offer up my praises in this song.
In a hallelujah moment, I finally understood
That God above us is the only one who is good.
Forever, I will sing this truth I understand.
That I am still standing is from His healing hand.
Of His kingdom and His glory, I witness majesty.
The truth is before us, and there is no mystery.
Lord Jesus gave Himself, crucified on that cross.
That we can be redeemed and not know our loss.
There are times I am weak and timid.
Lost within myself and feeling my limits.
But at this moment, Lord, I am strong,
And so I offer up my praises in this song.
I have witnessed His love in all I've seen and done.
The trinity's three lock box: Father, Spirit and Son.
Each of these has come to save this sinner's soul.
To each of these, I give all that I cannot control.
Greater is His faithfulness than any we employ,
It is from His sacrifice that we know great joy.
And I know his mercy flows like a river is wide.
He brings me to humility and protects me from my pride.
There are times I am weak and timid.
Lost within myself and feeling my limits.
But at this moment, Lord, I am strong,
And so I offer up my praises in this song.

Strange Days In Need of Integrity
Strange Days In Need of Integrity
by Michael Doyle
Looking at the strange days of indignity,
It seems we need to find our integrity.
In the toss of deception and sin,
We wonder if we'll find a way out again.
Something is awry in the cultural script,
And somehow, truth for a lie has flipped.
True character requires that we make reference
To the best of ourselves in astute preference.
The moral sense of mankind requires nurture,
However much it is part and parcel of our nature.
We are to live with astute honor and excellence
This gives our society its sense of benevolence.
Courage will create a path for our children's destiny,
Making them wise enough to bravely embrace history.
There is a power in our heroes and their grand story.
It is a power that allows us to live for our glory.
We must not sell our souls in full capitulation
But must strive to do right in every situation.
We must never collaborate with the knowingly wrong,
But instead, we must live to be free and remain strong.
The moral sense of mankind requires nurture,
However much it is part and parcel of our nature.
We are to live with astute honor and excellence
This gives our society its sense of benevolence.
Good character is built on a base of integrity.
It's the wholeness that completes our identity.
Synthesized our virtues become our needed whole,
And from this, we gain nourishment for our souls.
Reason, desire, and spirit are more than allegory.
Habituation and practice become each category.
And through these, we reach our highest human good.
At least, that's what the philosophers understood.
The moral sense of mankind requires nurture,
However much it is part and parcel of our nature.
We are to live with astute honor and excellence
This gives our society its sense of benevolence.
In the turning world, we find ourselves by chance
Forming the points of the world in its long dance.
Rectitude has always been a grace well-respected
And is the one measure of character to be affected
No matter what else there is to come our way
If we are to know we've lived well, our best day.
Private character becomes public with dignity,
It is always best to live life with integrity.
The moral sense of mankind requires nurture,
However much it is part and parcel of our nature.
We are to live with astute honor and excellence
This gives our society its sense of benevolence.
