Echo In The Wind

We were once the youngest of toddlers
Playing recklessly without concern 
But how the tides have changed
What I had is now what I yearn
We were the best of friends
I loved her to no end
But as the days passed by 
It was getting harder and harder to pretend
The truth was I was in love
With the plaid girl next door
Our friendship was unique
But it grew to be much more
We dated for a few
It was the happiest years of my life
We gave everything to each other
And he even asked for me to be her husband
You see, it was everything I wanted
But she was meant for so much more 
I wanted her all to myself
But she had so much more to explore
She was a special Woman
She stood out from all the rest
She was so selfless at times
And that’s why she was truly the best
This woman had a destiny to fulfill
And I was only standing in her way
She said he would do anything for me
But I couldn’t possibly ask her to stay
The day came when she left my side
It was a cold and gloomy night
I still remember that day so clearly
I held onto her with all my might
It was the last I’ve ever saw of her
The last study of her face
But it doesn’t really matter because the
Memories is not something I can erase
My heart bruises easily
As I sit alone late at night
But I often reassure myself
Because I know that I’ll be alright 
Nothing has really changed
Nothing that I can see
Even though she’s not here right now
I still feel her presence next to me
The story of our love
Is an endless story never to be lost
I don’t know if I will ever see her again
But I always keep my fingers crossed
My heart is slowly adjusting
To continue life without that charmer
But I know that I will not be in this alone because
She will always be my knight in shining armor

Real life

Blood starts dripping’ from the soldier’s wound
Seeps like sewage ‘neath the politician’s room
Deep in the house, white fades to red
And the freedom we’re fighting for seems to be dead
‘Cause we can’t win like he once said
No we can’t triumph over the hate in our enemy’s head
But we’re deep in mud over the bullshit we’ve been fed
While more and more soldiers awake in Heaven’s bed
The wind is blowing like a hurricane
In the frightening desolated lands
Where the wolves are insane
And hawks feast on bloody hands
Bullets flying, children dying, mothers crying
While the beasts are lying and hiding
Behind black curtains that no one’s finding
But God knows the truth, and He’s forevermore sighing
Too many hands washed in widows’ tears
Too many echoed gun shots ringing in ears
Too many hearts frozen numb from fears
Of hope too distant, like skylight chandeliers
Wounded souls soaked in blotched black fate
Disillusioned by dark demons’ fate
Persistent nightmares of woebegone escape:
Screeching fervently under Liberty’s Gate
I grasp the rope fabric with delicate care, 
Neck tickling from its bristly hair
My chapped, dry lips whisper a final prayer
Before a tightening ravish pain permeates the air
A bright radiant flash scorches the cloudless horizon
And ashes drift upward, caressing my bare, dangling feet
Bleak, barren, biting malice below seems blazon
But the dead know not the sentiment of defeat.

Lonely ..

I was a lonely wanderer, searching for a place to belong, you came into my life and gave me love, a place to call home. home is where the heart is, it doesn’t always have four walls. sometimes it can be a park bench, a homeless shelter, no matter where we lay our heads we are together and love counts the most. we had our trials in life, even a few brief spats and separations but you had my heart as no one ever before, we always made up and got back together, loving each other ever the more. now you are gone and I can’t be with you for awhile, my aching heart is killing me, I cannot smile. you became sick and wasted away, why oh why did you have to leave me all alone? I wanted to go with you but I have to wait, wait till my name is called and I hope you come with Jesus to carry me away, this I wait for impatiently each and every day.

Woman Wish

Wish I was a butterfly
With colorful wings soaring up high
Gracefully singing into the air
With such silent notes, songs never heard
No one could guess where I will lead
No one could notice the heart that weeps
For such soundless voice only tears will show
Fading as I may... they will never ever know

Angle of Mercy

A small spark kindles in eager young hearts

With a smile, a song, and a destiny

Their souls a perfect match from the start

How sad she was blind to her eternity

She spent many years wasted in searching 

Looking for true love with other men

Always believing their love was abiding

Only to have her heart broken again

Angel of Mercy, comfort her tonight

Show her what's wrong and what's right

He adores her heart, he loves her soul

Angel of Mercy, wrap her in your love

Teach her how to let go

All these years the spark still survives

A small ember in ashes of the past

One look into his eyes and her truth arrives

Her true love she recognizes at last

Spark to flame, flame to inferno

All in one look, in one breath

How she missed it before, she will never know

But now she knows she is his to her death

Angel of Mercy, comfort her tonight

Show her what's wrong and what's right

He adores her heart, he loves her soul

Angel of Mercy, wrap her in your love

Teach her how to let go

She longs to tell him 'I love you'

And turns with her arms open wide

Where once he stood, so solid and true

Now only emptiness and darkness reside

She cries out his name in pure desperation

Her soul weeps 'Where has he gone?'

The universe answers with a sad intonation

'I'm so sorry. You simply waited too long.'

Angel of Mercy, comfort her tonight

Show her what's wrong and what's right

He broke her heart, she lost her soul

Angel of Mercy, wrap her in your love

Please teach her to let him go.

i'll always love you

There are times when will upset me and cause me unwanted anger, 

but no matter what " I will always love you".

There are cruel words you might say that will cause me hurt and bring me sadness,

but no matter what " I will always love you".

There are going to be unwise decisions that you will make that will disappoint me,

but no matter what " I will always love you".

There are actions you might act upon that will cause me to worry about you,

but no matter what " I will always love you". 

There will be moments where you will make me cry and bring me to tears,

but no matter what " I will always love you".

There will be unforgivable mistakes that you bring upon me, 

but no matter what " I will always love you".

There will be lies told to me in which you test my trust in you, 

but no matter what " I will always love you".

In life there are struggles, arguments and challenges we will have to endure but no matter what happens, I want you to know that " I will always love you", now and forever!

Good Night My Love!

As I am saying good night at the end of the day,

And you are not here, but many miles away,

My heart is so empty and so lonely inside,

As I wipe away a tear I am trying to hide.

I close my eyes and try to go to sleep,

But with the sadness inside I begin to weep.

Suddenly I remember what you once said to me,

Just meet me in the stars, waiting for you I will be.

When distance tends to keep us apart,

Remember I still hold you near in my heart.

When the night together, can't be ours,

Just close your eyes and meet me in the stars.

Remembering those words, I begin to smile,

And gently close my eyes, lessening the miles.

I can see the stars, oh how beautifully arranged,

But you are not there, no hug to exchange.

I sit alone waiting, with hope in my heart,

No longer wanting to be kept apart.

Suddenly in the distance, a shadow appears,

A tear rolls down my face and the image is clear.

Sad apart

I treasured you in my heart,
I wished we'd never be apart,
Coz you're the best thing I've ever had,
I never thought I could be this sad.
You told me you're better off alone,
Somehow I believed you and I tried to be strong.
Deep inside me I know something is wrong,
But because I loved you I continued to hold on.
And then one day I woke up with tears in my eyes,
I told myself "that's enough" and so I realized,
That I've given everything I've ever had,
But despite all of these, you chose to break my heart.
It's true I've never been perfect,
But I thought you told me that every one has it's own defects,
I know I hurt you, I know I made you cry,
But I've always been true to you, my love was never a lie.
So go on, live your life the way it should be,
I'm finally letting go, so now you're free,
I'm moving on, but I will always remember,
The friend I had in you that I hope I'll have forever.

Words From Heart

When I fell in love my heart was on fire 
To be with you was my one desire
And if you love me I’ll give you everything you need 
A lifetime of promises and a world full of dreams 
For only my heart knows what it means 
And I promise you it won’t be wrong 
One love, two hearts we will make it strong,
But now my love is lost in your sweet kiss 
Honey when I’m alone you’re the one I miss
And your sweet, tender love it hard to resist
Darling it's true my heart has fallen in love with you 
Looking upon the stars tonight wishing with all my might
Hoping someday you will realize this passion I hold inside
Honey it doesn’t cost a dime. 
And if you give in your love could be mine
I feel truly blessed for this feeling the Lord has given me
Accompany by faith and much understanding
And I know this gift will guide me for all eternity
As my heart fly by with angel wings 
And the clouds form into wedding rings
A woman in love the angels sing 
On and on a soft melody
That’s how it feels to be in love like me.
For thoughts from the heart are never ending

Our Kids

What a glorious day 
When our souls intertwined and our hearts danced together.
When you flowed in me and a flower blossomed inside.
When a heart began to beat
Life awoke from sleep all because of us.
Our blood joined and formed a third party
Like a supernatural show of illusion.
Slowly a human was formed 
Inside of another, implanted by yet another.
We amaze me, she amazes me!
You helped me achieve what none can do alone.
I gave you a piece of you and you a piece of me.
The amazing transformation 
from inside to the world was just overwhelming.
I wish you were there.
Just the fact that our babies 
a living, breathing creature of God 
We created life together.
A bond was built forever in that instant
That you touched so deep and implanted yourself.
Every time I look at our kids I see you 
I see me 
I see yesterday 
I see today 
I see tomorrow 
I see eternity.
I feel joy 
I feel love 
I feel loss 
I feel pride 
I feel wisdom 
I feel strength 
I feel stability 
I feel real.
I love us so much, for together, we created our two kids.

The Secrets Of A Good Marriage

Growing up I've learnt about love,
I've been surrounded by it everyday.
I'm so glad you've both found it,
And it's why we're here today.
They say there's secrets to a good marriage,
That there are rules to obey,
But the most important rules of love,
Are what you two do everyday.
It's the ''hey babes'' in the morning,
It's how she makes his tea,
It's the way he smiles at her,
Such a sweet thing to see.
It's never being to old to hold hands,
Or to watch movies on the couch,
It's accepting all the flaws,
Even when the other's a grouch.
It's telling him he's not going grey,
It's the ''You look fine in those jeans''
It's ignoring the mid-life crisis,
and all her little ''scenes''.It's facing the world as one,
And it's more than love at first sight,
It's together being a family,
Each and every day and night.
It's the way he looks into her eyes,
It's the way that she looks too,
It's why they stand before us,
and it's why they said ''I do''.And now I stand here today,
On this important moment in life,
With two people very in love,
Now husband and wife.
Growing up, I've learnt about love,
and seeing it today proves it true,
You've both taught me so much,
And I'd be lucky to be half as happy as you.
