My little man I understand
you can build a mighty track
and put to work those little trains
with names and faces
they'll go places
under bridges and over hills
hang on tight , don't slip those wheels
choo-choo you shout
your oh so thrilled
you've made a world all your own
setting up ever track and every stone
And now we go chugging along
and singing many trainy songs
How I love this simple time
watching you find yourself
in a world that you designed

You my angel of only two
no longer do you simply coo
For now you  have the love of song
and you love to sing it all day long
and you sing it so softly sweet
with your own timing and beat
twinkle, twinkle
your eyes beam bright
you reach for those stars
and their  twinkling light


How you love to sing
about those diamonds in the sky
and  if I could ,up we would fly
and pluck a star down
just to keep
to light your pillow as
you sleep

Sharing a song is such a good way
to tuck in the heart
and end a long day

You head for the sun
head for the light
I linger behind
in the shadows of night

Your fearless and brave
I'm a lost , lonely slave

You say life is everything  you strive to make it
I say if life throws you a life line ,than you better take it

You are my life line, my saving grace
I know me saying that puts a smile on your face
For you admitting your not always strong
is as simple as singing along with a song
For me admitting I am wrong, and stubborn too
makes me feel lonely, bitter, and blue

So I walk with you now into the light
following the sun , beaming so bright
Leaving behind the cover of night
Holding your hand , and holding it tight

I stand in front of the mirror
and glare at my reflection

I do not look as I see myself
and it eats at me like an infection

I can not explain this reaction
a lack of personal satisfaction

I wish I could release this tormented soul
be happy with what it is and accept that I am getting old.....

Hello old friend
it's been awhile
Good to hear your laugh
love to see that smile

Come and sit with me a spell
tell me everything or nothing
for it's all just as well

I have dreamed that you came to me
answering my wishes true
and in nightmares I ran away
so you could not see me blue

I have missed you
old dear friend
as if I lost myself
and now I have you once again
I hope this dream will never end

Take a stroll down any street
and this is what you'll find

The lonely , the lost , the misunderstood
It's a shame what the mind can ignore

Rarely eyes fall upon these lost souls
Sometimes they are people
who have lost thier way

Sometimes forgotten playgrounds
where the child once played

Sometimes old buildings
that hauntly echo
a once vibrant time

It is a shame that we can just leave
them all to rot
as we go on our merry way
making more memories
while these forgotten people,places, and things
just simply exist

I feel an empty darkness
a hole within my heart
A missing piece
that has been torn right out
Why can't I heal myself
why can I move on
Before the heart I have left
blows up or falls apart

I hear the echos of past
they taunt my thoughts
with the pain they cast
Haunted by an unlasting love
my heart the house
My soul the home
so lost and all alone
The ghost in my heart
the unwelcomed guest
The love I have lost
an unconcored quest
