What turns a house into a home
It’s the love that’s shared within
What happens when the heart is gone
How do you begin again

Last night I had this crazy dream
It seemed so real and true
But I awoke with tear filled eyes
because I’m living without you

As I’m watching college football
I’m still wishing you were here
Deep down in my heart of hearts
It feels like you are near

Has it been two years already
Since the day you left
I’m not sad for the time that was taken
For the time we shared, I’m blessed

You’re no longer hurting,
no longer in pain,
I’ll take the sunshine
With the rain

Together we are better
There’s no arguing with this
I want you to be happy
Even more than I want your kiss

Life is hard and things do change
But to you I promise though
You’ll ALWAYS have my heart my love
More than you’ll ever know

Ups and downs we’ve had a plenty
Of storms we’ve had our share
But when the dust has settled down
I want you to still be there

Standing by my side for life
Is where you are meant to be
Forever til the end of time
And for all eternity

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
There would be no me
If there was no you

You are my partner, my love,
And my best friend
You’re the ONLY woman I want
to be with until the very end

Your kisses are sweet like candy
Your lips are as delicate as wildflowers
There are thousands of stories about love
but none are as strong as ours

The man I once was
I can no longer be,
some things had to change
deep inside of me.

The love that you speak of
exists still inside,
but for the time being
has just gone to hide.

The language I use
I need to improve,
this I admit and
vow I will do.

Close once again
to Christ I must get,
there are no excuses
this I do admit.

I’ve made poor decisions
in the past this is true,
I need to get better
at showing love to you.

Step by step and day by day
Right now I'm lost but I'll find my way
Six days ago you went home above
I still feel your presence, still feel your love

You're no longer hurting,
no longer in pain
For now I am jealous
Wish I were the same

I know I've not shamed you
Instead you are proud
There are times that I wish
To scream your name out loud

Let go of the past
Let go of the pain
If only I could
Get rid of this rain

For far too long
You I did not know
For now your rejection
It hurts my heart so

Blood of my blood
And flesh of my flesh
Even though we don't talk
I wish you the best

No matter the distance
Nor the length of time
I'll never give up
For by blood we are bind

Whatever I did, I'm sorry
I'm sorry if I've let you down
I'm sorry that I'm not what you expected

All I've ever wanted has been your acceptance and love. You are my father and I am your son, even though our relationship doesn't reflect that. I have been waiting all my life for you to come around. Now when I try to talk to you son to father, we are as strangers in the night. You are my father and I love and respect you as such. Even now, time is drawing near to the end. I have become the man I am, no thanks to you. The past I have forgiven, yet I still hope and pray to have a father son relationship with you. You are slowly dying due to Cancer but you choose not to tell me anything. I feel as though, all I am is a reminder of your past. You are my father and I will love you and the rest of my family no matter what.
