Express Yourself
Let the world see
Who it is you truly be
Tony Anderson May 2019
Face to face
With the beast within
Face to face
With the darkness of your own soul
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
The trees sway as the wind blows
Leaves fall to the ground
Twigs snap as we walk the path
In the woods in the fall

The air is crisp
A chill is there
Jack frost has made his yearly visit once again
Tony Anderson May 2019
We are family
We are kin
Sure sometimes we fight
We always come back to each other
In the end

We are family
I know sometimes
That's hard to see
But we know the truth
There's nothing Like family

We are family
We work together
To build a stronger bond
We share each other's
Good times
We comfort each oth
When things go wrong

In the land of fairies, goblins. And kings
In the land of elves, dwarves, and other things
Where anything can happen
Where there are treasures untold
Adventure lurks for the fearless of soul
You never now what lurks ahead
One false move and you might be dead
In the land of dragons
In a constant time of war
You never know what is hiding
Just outside your front door
Tony Anderson Feb 2019

The imagination is a wonderful thing
The imagination is awesome

Imagination is as real
Or
As false as you make it

So join the quest
Have some fun
And let your imagination guide you

Hay swaying in the wind
Cows in the field
Donkey and goats in the barn lot
Farming is the way life goes

Up with the sun
Work all day
Fixing fence
Moving hay

Cutting wood
down by the creek
Wolves
Bears
Mountain Lions
I hope I don't meet
FFA
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
FFA
I consider My time in the FFA
(Future farmers of America)
The best part of my High school years
The friendships I made
The leadership skills I gained
The fun of the contests

Those blue and gold jackets
Were beautiful and comfortable to wear
Even if a tide warm at times

The trips were a blast
All of us laughing and joking
Riding on the bus

Yes my time in the FFA
Is among my favorite times
In my life
Tony Anderson May 2019
Life's true fight
Is within
One's own mind
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
Sometimes I say I'm fine
When in reality
I am fuing inside
I say I'm fine
Because I have no words
To express what is happen

Sometimes I say I'm fine
But
I am falling apart
Mentally
Emotionally
Physically

Sometimes I say I'm fine
I feel as if I am on
Death's doorstep
Waiting for that door to open
So I may go in
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
I won't apologize for the fire in my soul
That burning desire to rise above my circumstances
To better myself and those around me

I won't apologize for the fire in my soul
The world can try
But it can't put it out

No matter what the world throws at me
I will burn right through it and move on
That is how hot that fire burns
Once it's lit
Nothing can stand in my way
Nothing can stop me

Fireworks of love burst within my heart
Beautiful colors of
Passion light my dark soul

It’s my first date
What should I wear
It’s my first date
Should I wash my hair

I am so nervous a complete wreck
I haven’t even showered yet
I asked her out
She said yes
This first date there’s so much stress
Just be myself
That’s the key
What if she doesn’t like me
I will try my very best
Should I wear a vest

It’s my first date
Times ran out
It’s my first date
There she is now
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
On the lake shore
Rod in my hand
Ready to catch that big one

I know that monster is in here
I've almost caught him before
But he always got away

Not this time
I have a plan

It may be crafty
It may be sneaky
But this time
I will prove I am there fisherman

I know he is hiding
Taking his time
Before the final confrontation
But if I am patient
If I stand firm
I will have him in the end
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
Fishing at the lake
Calm and at ease with my life
Fishing at the lake
Quiet and calm is nature
Time to think and clear my head

A flower given as a friend
To a friend
A flower given in peace
In hope for a better tomorrow
A flower given in peace
In hope for a better way
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
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
Fly

Fly
Don't just stand there
Spread your wings and fly
Soar to the highest point
Never touch down

You can achieve your dreams
You just have to believe
Fly
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Fly
Fly
Fly free
Free as the wind blows
No holding back
No slowing down
Just go

Fly
Lift off
And never tough down
Higher and higher
Into the sky

Fly
To places unknown
The mystery
The awesomeness
The wonder
Fly
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
Fly
I want to fly with the birds in the sky
To soar high above the Earth
To dance upon the breaze
FLY
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
FLY
I believe I can fly
Nothing to hold me down
I spread my wings and go

I believe I can fly
Up into the highest heavens
Far above the clouds
With the Earth far below

I believe I can fly
Just untie me and let me go
Let me run
Let me be
Nothing to keep me grounded
Nothing to oppress me

I believe I can fly
Let my spirit soar
To go as it pleases
Chasing it’s fancy
Chasing it’s dreams
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Football is war
Two teams of nine players
Each play
An assult
To tear away the enemy line
Marching your troops
To the goal

And victory

Footprints in the sand
Showing me where I've been
All I have been through
To become the person I am

Tanks
Jeeps
Trucks
Waiting for the call
Soldiers on foot
Waiting for orders to come


Defending freedom
Fight against the foe
No matter the cost
We must go
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Freedom is for those
Who fight for it everyday
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
To fight
To sound freedom’s call
To show my strength
To give it my all

For freedom I have come to fight
If needed
For freedom I have come to die

To risk my life
Through pain and strife
So others may live
So others may sound freedom’s call
So others may give their all

I will not back down
I will stand tall
I will fight the fight
For freedom’s call

When the full moon rises
the beast within me comes out to play
My eyes grow wide
My nails long
My hair gets long to

I howl at the moon
I howl for joy
I howl for freedom

I run
a hunting savage I am
chasing my prey through the night
I run
feeling the wind rush by as I go

All through the night
Running
Chasing
Freedom at it's finest

In the morning
The sun rises
I return to myself once more
The nights adventure as ended
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
Frog
Fully relying on God
Frog
Fully relying on God

He created Heaven and Earth
He created man from the dust and the dirt
He knows what's best in our lives
He has the best advice
Go to him kneel in prayer
Headed will handle your every care

Frog
Fully relying on God
Frog
Fully relying on God

He sent his son to settle us free
With his sacrifice upon that trees
A cross made of wood
He rose again and it's understood
Eternal life we may gain
If we just call upon his name

Frog
Fully relying on God
Frog
Fully relying on God

Get up move your feet
Feel the rhythm feel the best
From the top of your head to the souls of your feet
Don't just sit there like a lump on a log
Stuck and sinking in the world's big
Get up out of your sear
Move your feet

Get
Get
Get up and dance

Get up
Get up
Get up and dance

Life's a journey , life's a path
Dance, dance all the way
Whirl and twirl, sway back and forth
Have fun each and everyday
Don't let life *** you down
No need to drag upon the ground
Let the music energize you, let it fill you

Get
Get
Get up and dance

Get up
Get up
Get up and dance

Life was meant for action

Go
Let’s go
Pedal to the metal
Rubber to the road


Heading down the highway
As the world passes by


Sights to see
Places to go
Adventure bound
Tony Anderson May 2019
Going on an adventure
Going on a quest
Seeing new places
Putting myself to the test
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
the phone rings
The police on the other line
A two car accident
They said your body was found in one of the cars


My life ends
I  can’t catch my breath


My love
My life
Dead they tell me


My love
My life
The mother of my children
The rock upon which my life stands


Taken from me
Ripped from the life we had together
Torn away
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
We grow up together, side by side
Playing on swings, or going down slides
Brothers we were arm in arm
Building forts, walking the trail long

You dad got a better job in another state
You had to move, that sealed our fate
Friends no more we would be
Except by mail between you and me

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday

I never stopped calling you my friend
Even though our lives went separate ways
In my heart you're a friend till the end
Until my dying day

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Good morning
Rise and shine
Coffee in the ***
Bacon and eggs on the stove

Good morning
A brand new start
New day
New hopes
New dreams

Goodnight Sweet dreams
May you fly On fairy wings
Goodnight Sweet dreams
Walk in the clouds Journey the mind’s stream
Goodnight Sweet dreams
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Goodnight
Sweet dreams
May nightmares pass you by

Cuddle up
Close your eyes
Drift away in slumber

Dream of good thing
Flow upon the river off the mind

Goodnight
Sweet dreams
Dear child of mine
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Where did we go wrong
I thought we would last foever

We started out as childhood friends
That is how our love began
Growing stronger as the years went by

Then one day we said "I do"
Thus starting our wedded bliss.
Two kids
House
Great jobs
All seamed perfect
All seemed right

Until the day you said goodbye
You took the kids
Leaving me alone.

Now I drown myself in tears
Wishing you were still here
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Lord I'm in a pit of dispare
But I know you are near
Though it is hard to  sence you mow

My life is a wreck
I need a mental check
And my emotions are and acid pool of slime

Bring back your light
Shine it through my blight
Guide me back to you

I am so lost
I am being tossed
Upon emotional waves of doom

I feel no one cares
Yet I know your love is the
Please help to see me Through

Bring back your light
Shine it through my blight
Guide me back to you
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Renee it's your birthday

You gave me the gift of a little sister
And I love you more each day

Happy birthday Renee

I wish for you much peace
I wish you so much joy
I wish for you your heart's desire
And all that you enjoy

Renee it's your birthday

Happy New year
To one and all
One year ends
Another begins

New hopes
New dreams
New adventures

May it be the vest year
For everyone
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I love you
Though you despise me
You throw your hatred
I don't care
I will show kindness
I will show compassion

I love you
Though you call me names
Though you
Hit me
Kick me
Shove me in the mud
I will take it all in stride
I will not hide my true self

You hate
I love
He
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
He
He walks in the shadows
Hides from the world
A disfigured man
Alone and afraid

He did not ask to be this way
The events in his life just happened
Disfigured from an accidennt
Scared all over

Most look upon him as a freak
Most just pass by
The few friends he has
His only support

He is an outcast
Living on the street
Staying where others can’t see him
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Heart beat
Time after time
Every time I see you
Wishing you were mine
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Heart beat
A pounding rhythm
A sign of life
And
A sign of love


One heart beat
Two heart beats
Pounding in time with each other
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
There is a place within the heart
Where darkness lurks an awful lot
It grows and steams under a heavy load
Until the whole thing explodes
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Lord guide me
Step by step
Upon the road before me

When I stumble
When I fall
Give me the strength
To get back up
To move on

When my heart feels heavy
And the load I can't bear
Let me know you are with me
I don't have to carry it alone
You will share the weight

When I am tired
And my footsteps sway
Guide me back
Give me rest
Energize me for the rest of the way
