WOW What a Blitz
Fell like a ton of bricks
One day it’s I would
The next it’s the blues
Like I haven’t felt
That many times
Now I remember why
That many times
Now I remember why
I’ve remember why
Drinking wine
Distorted I was
For quite a long while
Gosh Damn It was hard to smile
As the weather warms up
I contemplate
Do I move forward
Or stay here [...]

What do I do

What do you do
When you’re supposed to hate someone
But can’t
Once you got to know them
You were eating out of their hand
The way she smiled
Kinda like a child
And her breath I’ll never forget
I don’t understand
When a woman and a man
Have so much in common
That it makes them both mad
They both made a stand
One person left loving
The [...]

Have you seen my buddy at first

Have you seen my buddy at first?
The one with the dirt all over his shirt
The one that tries so hard
Even if he’s only in the backyard
Have you seen him?
He was on our team last year
I remember his plays like a photo reel
He’s such a special kid
Red head and a friend I did call him
His new [...]

Two Sides

Two sides
Come together
To make
One heart
A bad moment came
And tore that apart
I close my eyes

The way they felt

I miss them so much,
The way they felt
And Their touch
The smallest so funny
And cute like a bunny,
A boy so fantastic
His spirit and heart ever-lastin’
And a mother,
That Makes it all happen
I’m here at home
Of course I am alone
Trying to determine which memory
I Miss the most,
H-Dog at the plate
The cute girl in the [...]

My First Home Run

My first home run, It was so much fun
Watching it fly over the fence
My dad was there, In that mid-June air
At home plate we celebrated.
My friends were waiting, To give me five
And my coach said,with a smile
Way to go young man.
A little boy, filled with joy
Brought that ball back to me
I held it tight, with [...]

Words

Words Are Meant To Explain,
But They Can Be Powerful,
Like Arteries Or Veins,
They Come In Shapes, Sizes and Tones,
They Can Come From Many,
Or When You’re Alone,
Words Can Bring Fortune,
They Will Bring Thought,
It’s For One To Decipher,
Which Words Are Meant,
And Which Ones Are Not.

Light Today?

Today Today
It felt okay
The morning reminded
But it soon went away
Thought about for a bit
But Quit
Felt good to laugh
Not in the pits
Don’t think you’re stupid
At First, Not letting go
Your heart was vested
It wanted to grow
But for today not feeling blue
I’m going to go put on my new shoes
Just Get it out
Let it all fly
Okay to cry, [...]

Save The Forest

S-hed me oh trees with your leaves as I rest
A-rc your branch with the birds on its nest
V-anish the light that scourge my face
E-vergreen is all over the place
T-hink of me always as I grow old
H-ear my grandchildren as they reserve you as a gold
E-vermore, your beauty will never be a foretold
F-orestall thy thief that [...]

Global Warming

G-one the days of laughter and gay
L-et us face the truth that may come our way
O-n our wreckful acts that we need to pay
B-ringing us to hunger and thirst
A-ll of us will suffer to death
L-eaving no mark of humankind
W-ake up my fellow man!
A-ir can no longer breath
R-ivers are starting to run dry
M-any animals are becoming [...]
