She told me we would be friends forever.
We were so close then I probably believed it.
But we split apart and were left alone like a broken toy.
Now we have families and what we had didn't matter.
We thought about where life would take us and our children, but nothing more.
Neither of us giving the other one a single thought.
And eventually we fade away slowly.
Some faster than others which is why forever can never be.

Combined

If we were all combined as one
Would we be kind?
Would we all be understanding and compassionate?
Would we try to hurt others?
The answer to these questions is no,
Because if we were combined and hurt someone, we would hurt ourselves
Think about what you do, because if you make the wrong choices,
In the long run, you are only hurting yourself
As if we were combined.

The One

You are the one
The one who has been there for me when others have not
The one who has pushed me through hard times
The one who asked me out first
The one who gave me my first kiss
The one who bowed down and asked me to marry you
The one who gave me my last kiss as I faded
The one who stayed with me through everything, even death
You are the one

Veterans Day

The best things in life are not truly free
That is why freedom comes at such a high cost

The men and women who give up their lives,
They are the ones who truly give us hope

They leave their families
Not knowing if they will ever see them again

They stand strong and fight
Just to protect the red, white, and blue of our great flag.

They are our United States veterans
Those who have died and those who have lived through the war

They are the ones who give you a place to call home

Basketball

The whistle is blown
The ball is thrown
Up into the air
For anyone it's fair

Grab it up quick
Get ready for the pick
Here it comes, there you go
and now it's two to zero

A few seconds on the clock
The other team is in shock
I can still move faster
And blow right past 'em

Scoring right before the bell
We say farewell
To the worry we had
Of losing too bad

Fear

Fear is a giant hole
Following at every turn
A mass of terrible darkness
Coming to swallow those who have no courage

Frail

They look so frail
So old and sad
Their wrinkles make them look pathetic

Have you thought about what they have gone through
Wars, depressions, deaths.
If you went through that would you look tired too?

They're tragedies, and pains have made them strong
Stronger then you and I will ever be
We must not look at them as old but more as strong and powerful.
