Elizabeth Smith Friedman

 

Elizabeth Smith Friedman


With a pencil and paper

An eye for seeing 

Random connections

Joining thoughts

To create code breaking entities

Leading to greater desire

To break stronger codes

You rose to the top

Seeing clearer than anyone else

Denied again and again

Heartbreak followed you

Wherever you did go

Not given rank

Not given station

Not given credit

For the work you did

Having your work stolen

By a man

After you were classified

Sworn to secrecy

And never acknowledged

You held your dignity aloft


You lived a life of sacrifice

To make this world

A better place

Despite the indignities 

Forced upon you

Random Ology

 

Random Ology

This was developed using words ending in ology. A sentence was written on each ology word's meaning. It is totally random and done without pre planning or thought other than what comes straight to my mind. One or two sentences were moved around to create a better flow, otherwise it is in the order the ology words were first put on paper.


Grouped together in ancient ways

Doesn’t matter what anyone says

Telling lies til they become truth

Praying to a higher source for some proof

Really believing it’s got nothing to do with you 

Refusing to apologize because it's not what you do


 Looking for guidance in a higher place

Putting on a pretty face

Destroying the world with each embrace  

Mind games played without a trace

It’s not what you were born to believe

Looking for thoughts to conceive

Breaking stones with which we live

Wanting to receive more than give

Staying hydrated on a sereing day 

Flirting with death every way

It’s getting on your nerves

A cancerous growth hurts your verve

Living life can be a dangerous dirge

Earth shattering if you will

Water retention has had its fill


Do things in the order they occur,  

Keeping secrets to preserve what we were

An open mind helps in life

Staying up to date would be nice

Being perfect is not a sure thing

Following the money is where disaster will spring

Heredity always wins

No chance to live life again

Sweet Jesus

 

Sweet Jesus


Oh sweet jesus

Won’t you walk along with me

Oh sweet jesus

Won’t you walk along with me

I need your company to keep me

From feeling misery


Oh sweet jesus

Won’t you take hold of my hand

Oh sweet jesus

Won’t you take hold of my hand 

Give me some much needed comfort

While I walk this land


Oh sweet jesus

I would lay down my life for you

Oh sweet jesus

I would lay down my life for you

Everything that I want

Is what I see in you

My Sweet Blues

 

My Sweet Blues


All the mountains covered in snow

All the mountains covered in snow

My baby tells you what she knows


All the sunshine sure feels right

All the sunshine sure feels right 

My baby smiles both day and night


All the trees covered in leaves

All the trees covered in leaves

My baby always does as she please


All the water just flowing by

All the water just flowing by

My baby all she has to do is sigh


The wind always whispers and moans

The wind always whispers and moans

Just like my baby whenever I am home

Rock Me Mama

 

Rock Me Mama


Rock me mama

Rock me all day long

Won’t you rock me mama

Rock me all day long

You rock me so good

I had to write this song


Rock me mama

Rock me into the night

Won’t you rock me mama

Rock me into the night

Won’t be singing no blues

 Living in sweet delight 


Rock me mama

Rock me all day long

Rock me mama

Rock me all night long

Keep on rockin me

As long as time goes on

In My Life

 

In My Life


Here is what I really  know

Here is what I really see

I want you

In 

My  

Life 


Won’t you spend your life with me


I want you everyday

I want you every night

I want you

In 

My  

Life 


Won’t you spend your life with me


Every day

Every night

I want to feel the warmth

I want to feel the closeness

I want to feel the love that feels so right


Won’t you spend your life with me

Take A Walk

 

Take A Walk


Intellectual

Sensual

Just like a photograph

Reasonable

Seasonable

Just take the time to laugh


Take a walk down any street

Take a look with more than your feet

What do you notice?

What comes to mind?

Are you seeing problems?

Or are you seeing things just fine?


Compassion

Attraction

More than there ever was

Satisfaction

Distraction

What draws you to your life?

There Is You

 

There Is You


There is a fire that’s raising

My temperature tonight

Breathing becomes restricted

I’m dancing in the light

There you are 

Glorious and amazing

Life has come full circle

My world has been set ablaze


There is you

And there is me

Living the life we need

There is you

There is me

Spectacular indeed


Our life has special magic

When you enter a room

It flushes all my senses 

Loving thoughts begin to bloom

You say a word

My heart beats much faster

It is so much

More than I can master


I’m living on

Sensory overload

Does it get better than this


Love in the making

Love living on forever

Loving you simply gets

Better and better

Have The Time Of Your Life

 

Have The Time Of Your Life


Open the door

And let them in

Hang up the coats 

Let the fun begin

Snacks on the table

Beer’s in the fridge

Turn up the music

Let’s cross that bridge


Spin the bottle

To your best tunes

Create a dance floor

Begin to croon

Let the music

Last all night

Laugh, sing and dance

Create delight 


You’re in for the time of your life
