Tears roll down my face as I open my eyes.
Feeling deep pain not knowing why.
I wipe the tears as I kneel down to pray.
Only God can help me get through the day.
Stand up and fight the Black Dog is all I can do.
Think of happy things not to feel blue.
No one can see this deep pain I carry inside.
This Black Dog whispers in my ear only telling lies.
Sometimes he attacks I can’t even stand.
Feeling so beat up and battered no one to take my hand.
I hope one day I find a leash.
To put on this Black Dog and tigh him to a tree.

My Mornings  

Alarm goes off break of dawn.  
Thoughts of her are still fresh in my head.
Not wanting to leave her so I stay in bed.
Still half asleep I feel my heart beat faster.
To show her my love is my daily desire.
Sip of coffee sweetened my lip.
Wishing it was hers that started my day.
I carry her in my heart everywhere I go.
Thinking of things to give her I search high and low.
To see her smile words cannot describe.
Melting the strongholds of my heart and everything inside.
Counting the minutes to see her again.
To be by her side to let my dreams begin.
If the day doesn’t bring us together I’ll see you in my dreams.  Maybe tomorrow will be better lets wait and see.
