River of Tear's

My love for you flow's like a river. It's that cool winters breeze that makes my soul shiver. To see that smile upon your face. My heart can rest from giving chase. To feal your lips pressed against mine. Run my finger tips down your spine. The feal of your skin so silky smooth. I know I'll win there's tomuch to lose. I once saw your eye's shine with glea. My foolish lies that chased you from me. For all these years i've had you to hold. Now from all these tears my face grows cold.How can I tell you about all this? How can I show you these things I miss? Like an arrow my love is true. Maybe tomarrow I'll know what to do. As for now I'll sit here and shiver. Wondering how to stop this tear filled river.

Cps

Pictures of my children still fresh in my mind.
How I long to be near them spend a little of my time.
My youngest says he prays for me to come home soon.
He's ben counting the days and made a place for me in his room.
My oldest says he misses me and wants for me to play.
If he only knew the penalty its not worth it for me to stay.
My wife she seams so scared frietend beyound belief.
While the only thing I've feared is her asking me to leave.
When lifes innocense is stripped from your hands.
The consequences more than you understand.
You'll be traped in your own hell.
Caused by disbelief.
Then your eye's will start to swell.
With no tricks left up your sleeve.

Who's Got the Key

I once drank, from a crystal stream. 
Where on the bank, I did dream. 
Of emerald sky's, with diamond rain. 
N that i could fly, with angel's wing's. 
Cloud's of silver, blew over a turqoize sea. 
With a golden tower of tranquility. 
Then as the heaven's opened up to me. 
Hord's of deamon's, I did see. 
Across the mountain's, over the sea. 
Out from the shadow's, they staired at me. 
Then as I flee at an alarming rate. 
They called for the key. To get in the gate

True Love

Rain beats down upon my face.
Like tiny teardrops from a far off place.
As I gaze across a distant land.
While holding a rose in the palm of my hand.
For buried in my soul so deep.
Beyond the reach of mortal man.
Lyes a love I fear I cannot keep.
And teardrops made of sand.
A faithful love is all I've wanted.
Sum faith is all I need.
I've tried so hard to heal this heart.
My fears have caused to bleed.

Don'T Feed Your Monster

The torch is brightly burning, as you light the pipe and toke.

Watching life drift by you slowly, In a great big cloud of smoke.

That monkey now is growing, the torch is gone so soon.

Know your drawing up the water, to know squirt in your spoon.

That monkey now has mutated, to a gorrilla on your back.

The shot's are more and frequent, now you've shot the whole damn sack.

So know your feeding this monster, of whoms dimensions are unknown.

Your life's ben made dissasterous by this monsters mighty hold.

I know of what I'm speaking, that monster once held on to me.

Kept me always screaming, no more normal life to see.

Till I found a higher power who could beat that monster down.

He died upon the cross upon his head a thorny crown.

He beat down all those monster's from that life I lived in sin.

My life now has new meaning my heart has cChrist within.

When Tomarrow Starts Without Me

When tomarrow starts without me.
If I'm not there to see.
Weither the sun shall rise.
To find your eyes.
Filled with tears for me.

When tomarrow stars without me.
I hope you'll understand.
An Angel had called out to me.
And came to take me by the hand.

He said my place was ready.
In the heaven's far above.
I need only to leave behind.
All those I dearly love.

As I thoght of all our yesterdays.
The good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the times we shared.
And all the fun we hard.

When I thought of all the worldly things.
That I might miss tomarrow.
I thought of you and all our dreams.
As my heart filled with sarrow.
 
Walking through heavens gate.
 I never felt so much at home.
As God looked down and smiled at me.
From His great golden throne.

He said this is eternity.
And all I've promissed you.
For today on earth your life has passed.
But here it starts anew.

So when tomarrow starts without me.
Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me.
I'm right here in your heart.

Flea

Even from a distance I could tell you we're beautiful.
The way the sun shined on your enchantingly smooth skin.
Like a bouqet of butterfly wings.
As soft as silk.
that danced through my fingers.
Then flew away.
Not even a view of the stars could of made a greater day

Dare To Dream

As the day turns to night. 
The darkness chasses away the light.
With it comes evels means.
To destroy our faith.
/
To control our dreams.
So amazing is your grace.
For u my savior I've longed to embrace.
Yet still I'm chased.
Far beyond my own faith. 
Where lies the memories.
My heart has laid to waste.
When it rains.
They'll all be washed down stream.
As for my pains.
Next time ill watch what I dream.

Soul Mates

Our souls wer joined before our births.
Our body's they met here on this earth.
As they innertwined we became one.
With our hearts combined we concieved our son's.
Now many times since our son's birth's.
Our patience was tried and our tempers the worst.
Yet we knew our hearts would deciepher.
what life had to offer.
We needed only to provide.
And swell up with pride.
For the love we had for our son's.
