Adrift upon this emotional tide
When will I hit land

Tender kisses
A heart warming gift

Stop doubting yourself
Start believing in yourself
Stop holding yourself back
Start letting yourself fly

For there is no telling
To what great heights you can achieve
If you never try

Steak on the grill
Corn on the cob beside it
BBQ sauce to be spread on
Potato salad in the fridge

Beer
Friends
Lots of fun

Family
Neighbors
Folks from down the street

BBQ time
Is fun time

Don't follow me
I'm already lost

Expose yourself to me
Share with me  your hopes
Share with me your dreams
Your joys
Your thoughts

Expose yourself to me
Let me know the real you
No holding back
No hiding

Expose yourself to me
Share with me your love
Your heartbeat
My heartbeat
Beating as one
In tune with all creation

Flowers grow upon
The graves of the fallen
Those who gave their all
To shine a light
Into the darkness of this world

Flowers grow
Their blood stains the Earth
They fought
They died
For a higher cause

Now they lay
Sleep the eternal sleep
Now they lay
The flowers marking their spot
Now they lay
Gone but never forgotten
