You can't die happy
You're dead
That's it
The end

Midges

Summers here, hello Mr. Sun
T-shirts and shorts, time for some fun
Pump up the tyres, out on our bikes
Scratches on legs, bitten by mites
Steaks on the grill, fire up the barbie
Think that I'm cool, think I'm Tom Hardy
Beers now cold, well stocked in the fridge
All bitten to hell, must've been a midge!

Mountains

I seem to build a problem
If easy is one
Then throw me a ten
Not liking a normal life
Stumbling into chaos
It seems to be my bias
Even my daughter asks why I'm in a chair
One night not to be ordinary
Living, without a care
Audre est Facere
To do is to dare
To be reborn from a fresh new fountain
Instead of climbing these heights
These fights
These blights
These mountains

Little Miss Independence

She has her mothers genes
No problem shall block her way
Nothing will stop her achieve
Any task she may see
That focus that she always believes
When you say no
Her answer is yes
A cheeky answer back
Something we may need to address
But her determination is second to none
Puts on that serious face
And then up for fun
Decisions vary as they sit on her fence
Traits to outgrow
But she will always be our,
Little Miss Independence

The Older That I Get

The older that I get
The more I **** regret
Decisions I have made
The price that I have paid
Some words I may have said
Drunken nights waking in another bed
For these are the songs that we sing
And we can never change a thing
As this was the chosen bet
And there is nothing that I regret
The older that I get

Toxic

A girl without a name
It makes no odds
When they all act the same
Some cruel desire to manifest your life
Sweet on the surface and to the face
So **** hot but ready to twist
Stab, puncture, that unseen knife
A quick fix of ******* lust
Hell, you're only here once
To dip into this toxic life

Blessed

Those gorgeous blue eyes
That smile I could never tire of
Already bossing me in my place
Chatting like a madam
Her words have no bounds
Saying what you see with no consequence
As honesty just comes from the heart
No finish line,
just a babbling uncontrollable start
A girl who already knows how to dress
No trousers, jumpers or leggings
I will choose what I want daddy,
now go just away,

Blessed
