To all of our troops in battle,
to all of our troops who serve;

showering you with the protection you deserve.
To all of the men and women
who fight so we . . . more

Raindrops fall,
cooling the effects of the sun,
bringing growth.
Teardrops fall,
washing over faded smiles,
bringing growth.
Colors bloom more brightly
with both sun and . . . more

When you turned up the volume
and the music began to rage,
i knew it was my turn.
I would close my eyes
in fear and determination,
trying hard not to cry,
trying hard not to please you . . . more

In my dreams my feet doth find
familiar paths we traveled,
In my dreams my heart-felt sorrow
quietly comes unraveled;
Within my dreams I . . . more

I try to focus outwards
and find myself looking within
seeking to find some humor
but unable to muster a grin.
What's in there, I wonder
that's causing me to feel so sad,

I'm not angry or infuriated at all- not the slightest.
But I'm hurt and desolated- yet do you see my tears?
Those tears were age-old- due to fall long ago,
But I held them back- endured the . . . more

This is what happens when we fall in love too fast...
Young love, oh,
so eager to grow,
it went so fast,
it did not last,
and now I am lost,
out in the cold world's frost.

Any Day Now
Inspiration wanes, wrangling depression
and my aging , aching body complains.
Aspirations filter through the mundane;
I fear the night times of introspection.

Do friendships truly fade away?
Or are they just hiding, waiting to play another part?
Though we may tuck them away,
Friendships leave a mark, an imprint on our heart.
They never truly fade,
Even though . . . more

It's been too long,
since you've been and gone,
I don't know why I do,
but I still love you,
I wish I could rewind,
take back all the time,
do anything I could do,
'cause I still . . . more

She is beautiful to me,
Her smile as light as the sun's rays through a tree,
with her beautiful aqua eyes,
and her voice as soft as when the wind sighs.
Her laugh, cheerful as the bubbling brook,

I'm never lonely, 'cause you're easy to find,
always there, at the back of my mind,
I have naught but to close my eyes,
to remember the love, that in my heart lies.

I will never leave you,
for anybody new,
or be untrue,
for then I could never again look you in the eye,
& I would have to hear you cry,
& that alone would cause me to die,
because I love you so . . . more

and my feelings will stay forever,
And even though we did fight,
Lovin' you, I had the time of my life.
Even when your angry words I heard,

I can't ever sleep,
cause I dream of dancing in the street,
with my graceful angel.
And though I've examined every angle,
I'm still too blind to see,
why I can no longer say you and me,
