My Sorrow's Song

My Sorrow is too great
You were sick for so long
Why'd you make me wait
To sing my sorrow's song

When they said you wouldn't heal
My heart broke in two
Nothing could explain the way I feel
I am much worse than blue

I will miss you dearly
As I go from day to day
I hold you in my heart most sincerely
For your memory will never fade away


Author's note: This was written Dec. 29, 1993 in loving memory 
of Opal Wyatt my grandmother. I was 15 years old when it was written. 
She died of cancer of the spinal cord.

Death

As I shiver in the cold
No where to hide
No where to go
To me they lied

Everybody to me said
We all love you so much
I believed it in my heart and my head
They lied the whole bunch

Life a prison it has become
No rights no privileges I have none
That is the answer that is the sum
I stand alone the only one

I care no more
Life isn't worth it 
My heart has been tore 
I'm a bottomless pit

I couldn't care less
An unloved person in this land
The truth to you I confess
I am dying in this sinking sand

I can take no more
I'm at the end of my rope
I'm tired of my live being tore
I have lost all hope

I have no reason to go on
No reason to fight
They should be happy for they have won
I'm blind to it all for I have lost my sight

How I suddenly long for the taste of death
To brush my lips and to hug my heart
To take with it my health
And allow me from this world to depart

They've stolen my life
And turned my hert to stone
Putting me through strife
I will no longer condone

The ones who have gone on before me 
Are lucky they no longer suffer like this
How long to be like them set free
How I wished my life would take that twist

Death I beg you to
Over my body take control
My heart and body take control
For God has my soul

Oh but for death to
Wrap its arms round me
To silence the pain so true
To release the chains and set me free

I'm tired of this all
The pain is too great
Down to the ground I fall
For this is my fate

No longer will I fight
A struggle to put on
I long to exit this night
No longer accept the lies an cons

How I long to knock at deaths door
My blessed Savior and family to see
To walk upon Heavens floor
To be happy and free

People say they care
But unto you they lie
The pain no longer will I bear
For I give up to die

No way out
No other choice to make
This I have no doubt
I beg God my life to take

Happy is but a word now
For that I never am
For this to you I vow
Around my heart I place a high dam


author's note
This was written several years ago when I had lost 2 of the most important people in my life 
and was having bad problems with everyone else in my life

Metting In the Air

when you left me
I was so blue
from my feelings I tried to flee
I didn't know what to do

But in my heart there is hope
that one day I'd join you in the air
until that day I will cope
what a joyous reunion there

so wait for me there
preparemy place to dwell
then someday we'll meet in the air
there we'll rejoice and yell

Summer Fun

Out comes the sun
Straight to the beach
Lots of good fun 
To the Little kids teach

The water is cool
In the hot sun
A day spent in a cool pool
Is such good fun

The day finally ends 
Home we do run
As the sun does send
Tomorrows new fun
