The angry ones
will change their tones
when the sun sets this day
For the moon will shine
blue light devine
to sooth the savage rage

In twlights hands
the hearts of man
and of beast alike
will come to dance
and with this chance
we will all unite

Laughter will echo
across the land
Spreading the joy
of this earthly band

We will owe it all to the night
To the dreams that take to flight
To the hopes that keep us young
To the love that makes us one....

So eager you were
for your first day to come
but, watching  you board the bus
I felt myself come undone
But, I held it in on that cloudy day
When my little boy first went away
I won't lie and say I didn't cry
For once I waved you off
with a smile upon my face
blowing you kisses
as the bus took it's pace
I cried all the way to your new school
Yes, sweetheart momma's a senitmental fool
Then off with the tears to greet my little man
Daddy so proud as he took your hand

The teacher lined you all up like tin soldiers in a row
You step out just once..a hug and a kiss and off you did go
Into the school you marched in a line
a little afraid but, you did just fine

My little blue bird had taken his first flight
And all in all he did alright
taking each challenge with an eager embrace
Never losing that smile on his face

And I  take a deep breath
for he's not ready to fly away ....
I save that fear for another day
For each day he returns to us
with something bright and new
Telling us eagerly
of the new things he can do..

Hard as nails
A man of steel
But ,under that outside shell
dwelled a heart as strong as well

He did not take any slack
He expected your best and that's a fact
But , he would always have your back
He helped the family become stronger
because of that

He would joke around the campfire's light
That notorious Mooga Mooga bird would take it's flight
We would all laugh , for he was a true delight
He was his softest on those campfire nights

My Uncle Denny , He was a good man
Never afraid to take a stand
Protecting us all each and everyday,
from people who would put us in harms way

My Uncle Denny, he sure could cook
One taste of his chili and you were hooked
His beef barley soup was truely devine
And his Barb-Q creations were one of a kind

He was a good man I say it again it's true
One of the best I ever knew
He will be missed more than I can say
We must celebrate life each and everyday
For I know in my heart he would want it that way.....

Today is a new day
A chance to start again
A dream can become a wish
A wish to become A vision
A vision to become reality

We must take the step
off the cliff of mistakes
to find out if we can fly
to heavenly happiness
or plummit into the hell
of our own existance...

Today I will dream,wish,and invision happiness...
1,2,3 deep breathe and.....step!

How do you fight an enemy
that knows you inside out?
How do you crush that skull
and pull the bad parts out?
How do you stop its breathe
when it steals it from you?
How can you find happiness
when it only knows gloom?

How can you fight an enemy
when that enemy is you????

The world is full of people
who search for eternal youth
Buying into lies
to avoid the ultimate truth
But, I have my own little secret
and it's kept within my heart
a picture book of memories
more precious , and with dignity
than any expensive vanity
You see it is simplicity

For when I speak to you
it takes me back in time
to the me I once knew
A little girl with dreams
and precious schemes
Someone who could
do anything
be anyone
lived her life just for fun
A life that had yet begun

When I give you a gentle embrace
All over again I see that little face
And remember all the good times
I even remember my very first rythm
I can't believe how fast time flies
and now I have my own little ones
with those big dreams in their eyes
And I share with them the fairytales
That you passed on to me

Thank you for the memories
and life lessons learned
Thank you for keeping me young
For saving the little girl
carefully in your heart
For walking with me down life's trail
For always loving me
through trimph or fail...

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!

I plunge my fist into my chest
into the heart that lays at rest
Pulling out the darkness that has consumed it
It's tar like subtance reeking of hell's pit

Leaving a big empty hole that needs to be filled
With love so true until it is healed

Now if only to cleanse the soul
but it's so hard to catch
Floating around within me
like a ghost
For to my soul I am the intrigued host
