I thank God cause by His miracle, He gave her life Waited 33 years then made her my wife. Now she's my all, my precious and sweet I'd happily walk thru hell with no shoes a upon my feet Climb the highest summit then swim a body of water- To prove that I love her..... I'd give my life without even a bother For this there is no question, or need to ask twice My love is without limits, & nothing I wouldn't sacrifice With no place that far, or ever too low To try live without her' Lord I'd be ready to go Cuz nuttin could tear me away, or make me want to quit I know they'll be battles, but even the worst won't change **** All I seek is her love, & the moments we'll share Knowin' that I got it all just as long as she's standin' there We're natural born soulmates, & are forever meant to be 'til the role is called up yonder, & we walk into eternity So we're in this thing together in whatever we decide Always pushing it to the limit..... Say hello: to Bonnie & Clyde !!!!

Bonnie & Clyde
I heard the ole man talkin- so like usual - I stopped to listen He was all worked up 'bout simple things like family, a home, even huntin' & fishin' Sick & tired of livin' this " New Age" feelin' like things just move too fast That cane poles & ol dirt roads were quickly becomin' a thing of the past After a moment he said " I sure miss the ol' days back when I was just a boy... " When neighbors -they knew each other & the people - they felt genuine joy. Joy passed through the generations of pure - good ole country livin; Where Christmas was more 'bout one another than gifts you'd been given At supper - families would all sit- & daddy she'd be the one to pray Asking " Lord forgive us of our sins & bless this ole dirt where we stay" Then daybreak , people were up - n - at - em ready to take on their tasks Never shying from a chore - you see - they were cut from a cloth that would last But you're talkin' 'bout a time when - respect - that was a must And men only said things once - never stand there & fuss See - those men - America was built off their shoulders Always providin' for family- for country- they were honorable soldiers! Then a smile touched his eyes & he said " I sure could use some ol front porch sittin' with just my woman- the kids - & the dog" **** wouldn't that be fittin'? Cuz the way this life is headin' I just don't think I fit anymore Like maybe - my time has come & gone just like the ****** ol' Dinosaur

Dinosaur
Was living just fine doing the most. Got caught at my crime, now I'm doing jost. I'm back to the cell , & alone in my thoughts. No way to make bail, no matter the cost. Cuz prole got a hold, I'm here to stay. Lord knows I've been told, still I'm living this way. Can't tell me nuttin, I'm living to fast. Every corner I'm cuttin', with my foot on the gas. Need to find new road, then change my life. Learn to do as I'm told. Maybe become Barney Fife. When I get to that point, everything will be sweet. I can pull on my joint, with no shoes on my feet. Still holding my hand, is miss Kyrie Nicole. It's me she can't stand, or so I've been told. It's just the way things are, Cuz I make her sick. Like when you play a guitar, you must use a pick. Still she's my girl, & always will be. I'd gladly give her the world, because I'm her Dad-dy.

Just Me
How can we ever fully count the cost When your life-long goals seems t'have been lost Can really be the person we know that we should Or change our coarse & get back to good They say Jr. you just have to make up your mind But how? When it looks my chances have been left behind In so, where do you find a smile to put on your face? When the truth is on the inside it feels I've fallen from Grace Lord will I ever be able to find my way back home Or stay stuck in this place where hope is dead and gone Wouldn't it be easier to just turn back the hands of time Or maybe cause a train to stop on a dime Should I just quit & throw up my hands Or cry out to Jesus & finally take a stand Learning that if I fall to get back up again And that if I pray without cease the devil can never win Reach out to God knowing He'll take me by the hand Then show me how to live & finally be a man!

Back to Good
It's much different this time but definitely I feel this Winds of Change Breakin' apart my life again Allowing me to see through slow movin' frames Bringin' everything into focus somehow like it was always meant to be A chance to leave behind my pain & sufferin' I feel this time I may just be set free Love has lifted my spirits & conquered the unwanted sadness Givin' me a new found hope with a never before found gladness This one is overwhelming worthy of me to sing praises for Overcomin' the destruction that once knocked at my door here is a road with no pleasure or comfort in fatherin such foolish games This time I can feel joy Blowin' through the Wings of Change Helpin' carry me to victory where for once I can stand & shout Knowin' I've finally defeated my demons where before its was a never ending bout Livin' in field of dreams through redemption with a whole new beginin' Where Heaven's in the palm of my hand & nothin' can keep me from winnin' Not haunted by the past or lookin' to the future with fear in my eye Instead learnin' to be grateful with- " I love u Lord" part of my daily reply Havin' been released from my shackles Able to walk free of my chains Believin' upon God's miracles and acceptin' these Wings of Change

Wings of Change
If my days on Earth were at an end & For me there were no tomorrow Would you be able to pick up the pieces & move on or would you lay down & die from the sorrow Really give it some thought & when you speak try & truly open your heart Imagine that such a day is here then tell me - where would you start Would you spend your days in tears- Cryin' with your head in your hands or would our love die with me allowin' you to start on a new sets of plans Buildin' a new life - with a family eventually even find a new friend Until my seat winds up taken & I'm no longer -m " The best there's ever bee Instead I'll fade into the distance As someone once part of your past Never did I fancy myself as your first Just really believed that I'd die as your last Now what we have that would live through eternity rding Even after it was buried and gone And that you would never crossed that line Always considering that as doin' me wrong Happy riding out your days Livin' off the love that we shared With each passing year becoming the testimony Givin' an account of how much that you cared or that prove selfish- accomplishing nothin'- except for to stand in your way If so - I'm unable to say I'm sorry cuz in your heart-always-you promised I'd stay See-you once showed me it was just you and I & past that-I can't see any farther I'd have to ask the Lord to close the windows of Heaven If ever-I had to See-you with another So I swear to love you fully- with each day I'm allowed to beg,steal,or borrow knowin' that time is of the essence & that no one is promised tomorrow

Without her-there's no tellin' where I'd be I'd be tossed by waves & forever lost at sea Self-destructive & barely clinging to life My spirits turned ugly full of envy & strife Not knowing direction or the purpose of my course The highway to hell- my throttle full force That light within me-gone- with my heart turned black From all the betrayal & scars across my back I'd still be looking for love- slowly loosing hope From the drugs to depression there's no one to help me cope No reason to care, my life had become a blur Then God showed Amazing Grace with a gift such as her Now she's tied to my soul & runs thicker than any blood Washing me clean, like the Lord did with the flood Healing all wounds of my past enabling me to rise above We strengthen each other & soar like the wings of a dove Proving that is cover, covering a multitude of sin So where I thought I was broken. I was really able to bend No doubt you saved me- Kyrie this I know for sure Bringing beauty back to life & feeling God's Grace- for me- once more

A Gift Such as Her
You don't have to wonder   or think that its strange Fore time will continue to move   so the seasons must change First the of the nights   then the change of the leaves 'Till we're caught in the life   from the webs that we weave Not being a man who will fuss   we tend to let things roll Until we get stuck in a spiral   & things are out of control It's really indescribable   how it all happened so fast Watching all of my dreams   become a thing of the past It began by attacking my joy   slowly dimming my light 'Till it had stolen my resolve   & the will left to fight Having lost so completely   thinking I must be to blame I was ready to cash in my chips & check out of the game Then you crossed my path   & took hold of my heart Putting an end to the misery So " true lovin" could start Now where this road leads   there's no way to tell But, I know you are my salvation   that saved me from hell And the amazing way you love me   that's just conformation That I finally get my shot   toward the dream I've been chasin

Salvation
I sometimes wonder, am I the only one to see That there's a monster who lives on the inside of me? One who tends to only grow stronger with the passing of years steadily setting a course straight towards my fears He wants for nothing but destruction & pain Constantly tearing apart everything that I gain So such is my fate to end up alone Trapped in a mind that's too far gone It's slowly deteriorating like infected with cancer How do I **** him? Do you know the answer? Please don't think it's funny like I'm telling a joke Cause I'm caught in a war and loosing all hope. Lord; these thoughts that I harbor-cant be on my own and no way to turn back For the chances I've blown Here I am,again I'm caught in a rut and the losses I've took Are a shot to the gut so maybe its time To face the man in the mirror put this monster to sleep and see things more clearly Forget pointing fingers,and the one who's to blame pick myself from the rut and wash off the shame stop looking to others I must stand on my feet and repent of this battle I dare not repeat! I'll never learn nuttin' if unable to grow cause we fill our own plate with the seed that we sow so if you truly desire a family & home Then let go of this Monster and stand on your own

Monster
My thoughts began to churn rapidly, looks like it will be one hell of a night. I got my baby heavy on my brain, so I pick up my pen and I start to write. Unaware of a final destination, my thoughts they start to flow. But these thoughts ~ all have pictures, so as I write ~ I enjoy the show. Taken this ride through my thoughts, cuz it's only here that I'm able~ to pull her deep into my arms, and then gently kiss the lips of an angel. So lost & in love with my thoughts, I wouldn't sleep if i could, Because with us this close together my world becomes all that is should running through thoughts that live free where nothing could ever go wrong, And even as my thoughts change gears, still ~ I enjoy the ride that I'm on. I stumble through thoughts that are so subtle & faint, yet clearly I'm recallin' ~ just the two of us standin' alone ~ wishin' on a lucky star that had fallen. Rapture through thoughts ~ I realize ~ I wasn't just loved ~ I was spoiled rotten. Until humbled from the weight of such gifts, & all the other blessings I've gotten. Finally my thoughts happen to slow, I tire ~ thinkin' of her eyes & how they shine so bright, Thinkin' " God I love my sweet precious" then through my thoughts I whisper good night.
