About Me

Why Marbles My 1st blog attempt Was an answer to a promise I made to my eldest son when I handed him a jar full of marbles. The marbles were from a collection saved by my mother over the years of my childhood, and I must admit that if left to me I would have already lost all of my marbles. My son asked if I could jot down some of the ways these marbles were used I told him I would write down as much as I could remember and send it to him later. I am the supreme procrastinator of all time which resulted in him sending me a reminder at which time he promised not to lose my marbles and I reassured him that I would get busy and tell him and his children how the beautiful round bits of glass and minerals were used for amusement and competition. My Response2 blog arose out of frustration with the attitudes and lack of respect for our country, our traditional ethics, and educational system. Rons Lyrics and Poetry started just because my scribbles needed a place to rest.

FORGIVE ME LORD

FORGIVE ME LORD              ©Ron Burres

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK
IF YOU KNOCK THE DOOR WILL OPEN
ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE

AS A PRODIGAL RETURNS I PRAY
FORGIVE ME LORD

FATHER I KNOW YOU WEPT
AS MY LIFE WENT ASTRAY
AS MY STEPS AND WEAKNESS
TOOK ME FURTHER AWAY

I KNOW NOW THE LASHES
THAT TORE THE SKIN FROM HIS BACK

THORNS DRAWING BLOOD
UNTIL IT COVERED HIS HEAD

THE WEIGHT OF THE CROSS
AS HE STUMBLED AND FELL

FORGIVE ME LORD
FOR THE PAIN I ADDED THAT DAY

FATHER I KNOW YOU MUST HAVE WEPT
AS YOU KNEW THE PRICE HE WOULD PAY
FOR THE GRACE OF FORGIVENESS
THAT I PRAY FOR TODAY

I KNOW YOU WEEP WITH TEARS OF JOY
EACH TIME WE PRODIGALS TURN
AND HEAD TOWARD HOME
AS WE PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS
THAT WE COULD NOT EARN. 

HE SAID
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK
IF YOU KNOCK THE DOOR WILL OPEN

ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE
