A boy only knows when to speak, while a man knows when to be silent.

And she was a bird.
                    A sight to be admired,
But a vulture if you stood too close.
        Free to come and go as she pleased.

Christopher sails his ship
Across the water
Never looking back
And never waving goodbye

He said its not the same
America that he remembers
Floating away from shore
He leaves everything behind

Sail on through
And wave your flag high
As the eye can see
Sail on through
And never drop your anchor
But the only thing you forgot on shore
Was me

Christopher sailed his ship
For the third time today
Checking his map
But everything looks the same

There are no stars
Tonight to help guide his way
His compass isn't working
But his heart is the only thing that breaks

Sail on through
And wave your flag high
As the eye can see
Sail on through
And never drop your anchor
But the only thing
You forgot on shore was me

Love is sand in an hourglass
                           That cannot stand.

And somewhere within the field of weeds and shrub,  she smiled until there was nothing left but Roses.

You wouldn't throw stones at your own home if other people were, so why are you throwing them at yourself?

She was a bird
That fed on knowledge
And poured it into our mouths
Waiting patiently for us to fly.
She is a warrior
Who wears her scars as medals
For she is on the winning side.
She is a bear, ferocious and strong.
And God help the man
Who pose as threat to her cubs.
She is a mother, brave and beautiful,
Who sacrifices so much for her children.
She was a magic doctor,
Who's kisses made
The wounds heal instantly.
She is a friend when there are none
To be found.
She is my mother.
