Hey dad how's the place out there
Did you ever get the time
To fix mama's favorite chair?

Works been slow
So I don't know
If I'll ever afford the health care

Other than that
Its been going alright
The pain still hurts
And keeps me up sometimes at night

I had a little time
So I wanted to write this letter
To your heart from mine

I remember when
I was your little boy
And you were my best friend
Nothings really changed
I'm laughing now about how
I used to call you old
And you laughed and said I'd probably go
Before you ever do
How right you were i didn't have a clue

Hey dad the doctor just came in
He said its about the same
So I guess that's a win

They wanna see me back
Again next week
I'm just so tired of feeling so weak

Other than that
I guess I've been fine
I just feel bad to see my wife crying
All the time


I remember when
I was your little boy
And you were my best friend
Nothings really changed
I'm laughing now about how
I used to call you old
And you laughed and said I'd probably go
Before you ever do
How right you were i didn't have a clue

Even the greatest books have a blank page between chapters.

In dreams she spoke to me
Tho In life she never glanced
Her velvet touch what draws to me
Yet awake I've not a chance

So now I sleep again
For in dreaming shall I find
A way to take her hand
Long before the sun shall rise

Hold me near
Through the passing of the night
Call to me with your voice so sweet
Until the waking light

And in life are we strangers
In dreams there is no danger there
For love is in our nature
And no more fear shall we bear!

In dreams I've felt her gentle hand
I've often heard her voice
And it would be, always be!
If I only had the choice

She bids me go
With the coming of the rays
She'll pass me by without "Hello!"
Until the passing of the day

Woman Sweet woman
The gentle temptress of my dreams
Won't you dream a dream of me
And you'll find nothing is as it seems

Some of the most extraordinary things in life have never happened for the sake of over thinking.

I will tell you a story
That I know nothing about.
Regarding a deaf man
Who was sure he heard a sound.
Now you could go
And ask the blind man
Because he saw it happen.
It even woke the dead woman
While she was busy napping.
What a sound, such a sight!
Under the sun on that starry night.
For those of you reading,
I'm sure your curiosity grows
But I can't tell you anything about it  
That I don't already know.

Try as you may, some people may never like you. Why? Because your spirit aggravates their demons.

My beloved human,
Do not weep for me
Or become stuck in yesterday
While I was still here.

Do not remember me
For who I was
But for who I am now
With the promise that
God loves even animals.

Do not look to the ground
With pity or regret
I know the many tears you have shed.
Look up to the sky and smile
For I am always with you.

Just on the other side
Of the rainbow bridge,
There is a wondrous place
Where you play ball every day,

And a place where there are
Dozens of mailman
That are there to be chased away.
Cats are there and hamsters, too
Somewhere far beyond
The sky so blue.

A place where there is no pound
To be locked away.
A place of bright blue skies
And never gray.
We will make endless walks
Beside the crystal sea
Oh my human what a place to be.

Oh my beloved human,
Don't shed a tear,
For I am always near.
My beloved human,
Create a smile for me,
And think of the beautiful place
That I am meant to be.

Hold on to the memories
Of you and me
Tucked inside your heart so tight
That will keep you warm
On cold dark nights.

Somewhere far beyond
This world, you'll see,
There is a beautiful place
Meant for you and me.
My beloved human,
Just on the other side,
You'll find me.
