Kidnapping the Tooth Fairy

When I was six years old, I lost my first tooth
It fell out as  I was eating pizza while sitting in a booth
My sister told me something,and I thought  it was dumb
She said if I saved it,the tooth fairy would come
I didn't believe her,so I asked my dad
And he told me the same thing my sister had
He said if I put my tooth under my pillow,and I thought this next part was funny
That the tooth fairy would take it,and give me some money
He also said that she would only come at night
And that she would stay away if she saw any light
How absurd,I thought,this couldn't be true
Trading money for teeth was something nobody would do
So,after asking my mom,my brother,and a friend
My quest for the truth came to an end
I bolted to my room in a dash
And put my tooth under my pillow, I wanted some cash
But then,I got an idea,and it might sound kind of mean
I figured the tooth fairy had more money than a queen
So I came up with a plan that would be a little scary
I decided I was going to kidnap the tooth fairy
So,that night,I waited for the tooth fairy to come about
I just sat on my bed with all the lights out
I had something planned,and the tooth fairy didn't know it yet
But when she came into my room,she'd get trapped my a net
I knew it was wrong,but i wanted some money
So I could buy toys, and candy,and a bunny
I waited,and waited,but it seemed to be
The tooth fairy wasn't coming,I guess she didn't like me
So,I went to sleep,and the next morning when I awoke
I looked under my pillow,and began to choke
There was no money there,and neither was my tooth
And I knew why,too,I knew the truth
The tooth fairy hated me,this I could see
That's why she stole my tooth from me
I couldn't believe it,I didn't even get a dime
But that's okay,I thought,I'll get her next time

A Homeless Man's Christmas Wish

Christmas day is coming soon
I can hear the little drummer boys beat 
As I sleep under a stack of newspapers
At my home here on the street
I have no shade from the summer heat
No shelter from a spring storm
When autumn and winter roll around
I have no blanket to keep me warm
I have no one to talk to 
No doctor to keep me well
My life is like the seventh circle
Of an everlasting hell
I have no feast on Thanksgiving
On my birthday, I have no cake
Most nights as I sleep in my concrete bed
I pray and hope I won't wake
I think about the man I used to be
The one that died so long ago
Now all that's left is this scruffy, filthy creature
Who I don't even know
Now that Christmas is here again
I pray to the good Lord above
For a gift that most don't appreciate 
Filled with lots of happiness and love
I'm not talking about material things
I can get by without any of that
All I want is a house and a family
Complete with a dog and  a cat
I wish every single Christmas season
That my dear, sweet Lord would send me
A beautiful family with warm, smiling faces
Sipping hot chocolate around a Christmas tree
We would have a most amazing feast
A rack of lamb tied up with a bow
Then we would all get bundled up
And go caroling in the snow
Oh, how glorious that would be
To have a family and a few friends
To have people who love me
Even after this life ends
God please hear my prayers
And answer them if you can
Just grant one simple Christmas wish
To this old homeless man

A Letter From the Heart

I'm writing you this letter
But I don't know where to start
I want you to know a few things
And they're coming from the heart
First of all, I love you
It kills me when we're apart
Everytime you go away
You take a piece of my heart
My skies are never gray
Whenever you are near
There's no where else I'd rather be
Then with you, right here
You are my every waking thought
I want you there when I go to bed at night
When life is rough, and I need some strength
You give me the will to fight
I need you around for simple things
Like opening pickle jar lids
Perhaps one day, we'll get married
And have us a couple of kids
I've tried to tell you how I feel more times than I can count
Almost every single day
But when I finally get the nerve to 
I never know what to say
So, I guess I've finally done it
I don't think I could have said it better
I opened my heart, and the words poured out
I've finally finished the letter

If I Should Die,Before I Wake

If I should die
Before I wake
This soul of mine
May the good Lord take
May I soar to Heaven
On angel wings
Past the clouds on high
Beyond earth-bound things
May the angels guide me
Through the midnight sky
And hold on to my hand
As I learn to fly
May all of my worried
Be left behind
As my soul finally finds
Its own peace of mind
May my loved ones not weep
For I shalln't be alone
God's mighty army
Will lead me on home
If I should die
Before I wake
My immortal soul
May the sweet Lord take
                                         ...take me home.

An Angel Saved My Life

One cold,winter's night,so long ago
A man lay frozen,against a church door
His break was shallow and his pulse was weak
The alcohol had sunk to his core
The man lay limp and motionless
His eyes began to roll into his head
It was almost certain that by morning
This lost soul would've been dead
As this man lingered between despair and death
With snow blowing through his unkept beard
A star fell down from Heaven
And a marvelous creature appeared
An angel stood majestically
Dressed in solid white
She knealt down to the man before her
And told him not to fright
She placed her hand on his frozen head
As the snow painted the ground white
The angel spoke in a soft voice saying,
"You shall not die here tonight"
With such a simple phrase,the angel went on her way
To the Heavens from which she came
The man lay in a peaceful slumber
As warm as an eternal flame
The morning came with a warm sunrise
The new fallen snow glittered so bright
The man awoke to the golden sun beams
Happy to see the new light
Suddenly,the church door opened
A preacher stood there,staring at the man
Before either spoke,the preacher extended his arm
And offered a helping hand
The preacher helped the man to his feet,and asked,
"Is there someone I could call...a friend...a wife?"
With tears in his eyes,the man could only say one thing,
"An angel saved my life."

The Magical Dragonfly

Up above the clouds
Is a magical dragonfly
With crystal eyes and silver wings
That soars through the evening sky
It swirls through the stars so gracefully
And drifts slowly through the moon beams
It flies from house to house
Giving us wonderful dreams
And if you're quietly sleeping 
All snuggled and warm in your bed
The dragonfly will float into your bedroom
And gently kiss your head
Then you'll have such wonderful dreams
Until the break of day 
Because the dragonfly blessed you 
And chased all the nightmares away
So remember this forever and always
At night, as you soundly sleep
The magical dragonfly visits you 
Then leaves without making a peep

A Wish For Snow

I only have one Christmas Wish this year
As Old Man Winter's winds blow
I don't want any toys or games
My wish this year, is for snow
I know I've already sent my list, Santa
But I'd really like to change it
I just want snow  to fall to the earth
I'd be happy with just a tiny bit
I would love to wake up on Christmas morning
And put on layers of warm clothes
Then go outside and play for a while
And go back inside with frozen toes
Oh, how glorious it would be
To run to the window with excitement in my eyes
And see lots of little snowflakes 
Falling from the milky white skies
So,Santa,if you are reading this
On Christmas day, all I wish to see
Is a marvelous winter wonderland
Pouring down just for me

All

All I'll ever be
All I'll ever do
All of the moments I'll remember
Is all because of you 
All of the strength I will gain
All of the things that I will see
Is all because you 
Were always there for me
All of the times that I was on top of the world
All of the times I wanted to hide
All of the days when life threw a curve ball my way
You were always by my side
All of the moments that I didn't want to go on
All of the times that I felt so low
You were always there, motivating me
And pushing me to go
You were with me all of the times I lost
And by my side whenever I would win
You were always there when a chapter in my life was ending
And there when a new one would begin
You were my wings when I needed to soar
You were my cushion when started to fall
And of the things I've been through, if I didn't have you
I wouldn't have anything at all

A Stitch In Time

A stitch in time
My life passed
I saw eternity
And I was with you at last
You passed away long ago
I thought that was the end
Like a marvelous dream,I saw your face
And I remembered the taste of your skin
You put your hands upon me
I remembered how it was
When we would make love until dawn
When you'd send flowers"just because"
I recalled the moment that I trembled
At the touch of your soft fingertips
I heard those long lost whispers
That rolled off of your remarkable lips
But as quickly as it came,my time with you ended
It vanished with the tide
Tears of joy rushed down my skin
For a moment,you were again by my side
A stitch in time gave me an unexpected hope
I now know that when this life is through
This rocky journey will finally come to an end
And I will come home to you

The Light That Leads Me Home

A storm is a brewin' out on the sea
The raging waters slam like fists against my ship
I've been on this journey for many years
But finally, I'm heading home
The sea is my prison, yet also, my oasis
It is the core of my entire being
The lonely waters consume my every waking thought
And still, I long to hug the land
I'm a tired, old sailor, just searching
Searching for reasons of existence
Forever, it seems, I've been roaming the sea alone
And no answers have I received
Now my search for the meaning of life is coming to an end
Instead, I am searching for something new
Something more important than my quest for the truth
I am now searching for a bright, white light
A light sent from the Heavens
That stretches beyond the sea
I can hear it calling my name
It's waiting for me to discover it
Oh, how I long to find my glorious light
The light shining just for me
The light that has been blessed by the angels
It is the light that will lead me home
