A Short Verse

stillborn
reborn
wife dying
child crying

faith is all this world has left
so let us put it to the test

escape from the flaming hell
mother and child are doing well.

Friend

coming home
never alone

going there
with a heart to share

tasting life
found my wife

giving in
that's a sin

learn to share
i don't care

this is the end
found a friend

Loves Strength

the balancing of love is hard to achieve.
when you have doubts you're trying to relieve.

hold each others face
and look in each others eyes
and your love will begin to rise.

love will always gain in strength
when it is heaven sent.

Just For You

staring into space
thinking of the human race

economy bad
people sad

houses lost
no remorse

savings shattered
it does'nt matter

bills to pay
what can i say

my anger will burn
they must wait their turn

no longer do i feel
time will heal

Set Me Free

i saw you and i gasped for air
you turned your back, you did not care.

it did not matter that i was like a fish
out of the water,
gasping to be back where it belonged
for i was weak, and you was strong.

is this the way love is meant to be?
then if it is, set me free.

My Short Verse #2

on the job
my position they rob

bring them flowers
they cut my hours

claim they're a friend
screw you to the end

in despair
they don't care

must go to the unemployment line
to them that's fine

getting govt. help
to them that's swell

company closed down
i'm laughing like a clown

Love Is Born

my heart makes up my body parts
and my body parts make up my heart.

for when love strikes you
it touches every part of your being
and this is what i'm seeing.

you get a cold chill, and your hairs
stand up on end.
this is a sign.
this is a trend.

it is felt in so many different forms
that's how love is born.

Thread sofetly

thread softly my love.
thread softly my sweet
for you have made my life complete.

in you i can see all the love that is meant to be.
you have captured my heart and soul.
you have captured everything that i hold.

in you i finally see-that our love is meant to be.
so thread softly my sweet
for my heart is beneath your feet.

Happiness

happiness is what i seek
happiness makes me weak.
plant the seed so it can grow
and in time it will show
the fruits of your labor
it is something that you can savor.

happiness can be found-if you turn and look around
happiness can be seen in your face.!
and it could spread throughout the land.
all it needs is'a helpng hand'.

Whatever I Am

Whatever I am, whatever I can be
Without you by my side, I’m as empty as can be.
You opened up my mind to so many possibilities
That now my heart is like a star, shooting across eternity.
Whatever I am, I owe it all to you
For you showed me how to love
And to let my emotions rise
But as long as I have you next to me
I know I can survive.
