Dear Daddy

I miss the times we used to share
When I was young, you were always there
I miss your smile, I miss your laugh
The jokes you'd play on my behalf

I miss you each and every day
I miss the way we used to play
I miss the hugs, I miss your love
The way you raised me high above

I miss the walks we used to take
The way you laughed at my mistakes
I miss the drives, you drove so wild
I miss the time I was a child

I miss your pancakes on Sunday mornings
The games you'd create when it was pouring
I miss the fights when it would snow
I hate it that you chose to go

I wish i could talk to you every day
I wish I knew what words to say
I wish I was still that little girl
The girl that seemed like your whole world

Yet I still keep you in my heart
No matter how long we are apart 
But I'm older now and I must learn
That love is something felt not heard

Graduation Song

12 long years over so fast 
Time long gone we can't go back 
School is done,  we're on our way 
The rest of our lives start today 

Doors are opening its our time now 
To choose our futures, to make the world bow 
We are the world, we are the future 
It's our time to shine, no one can stop us now 

Corous.     We're graduates (graduates)
                   our lives just beginning 
                    The future is now 
                    And it's ours for the taking 
                    We're graduates (graduates) 
                  The keys in our hand
                   Unlock any door 
                   On our own feet we stand 



Our paths undecided we work as a team 
Dodge any obstacle dream any dream
We fought the battle,  won the war
Now on stage together sounds our victory roar 


Friends and enemies gathered together 
To head towards new beginnings, the star of forever
We're brave, we're strong  were proud and true 
We can do anything we set our minds to 


Corous 



             We're graduates (graduates) memories we hold dear
Of the guidance of teachers the reason we're here
We're graduates (graduates) taking each stride as one
As we head toward a future that has only begun


We're graduates (graduates) 
The key in our hand
We're graduates  (graduates) 
United we stand

My Mom My Teacher My World

She tied my shoes
when I was young
she was there with me
before my life had even begun 

he smile was the first thing
that I ever saw
she was there for my first steps
her face filled with awe

she held me when I cried
and sometimes she'd cry too
she was the person that I went to
whenever I felt blue

now she'll watch me walk
across the stage to leave
with a smile so full of joy
you'd have to see it to believe

she'll smile as she hugs me 
fighting back some tears
as memories flood her mind
recalling all past years

then she'll let me go
all too soon for me
sending me to my future
to my destiny

Snow From God

snow falls lightly 
from the sky up above
soflty falling down
like the feather of a dove

each snow flake is different
like each one of us
falling to the ground
like snow often does

it's steals away breath
this brilliant thing
so pure and refreshing
like the songs angels sing

they sing for remembrance
of God and his sun
throwing down these white tokens
to say winter has begun

white is for birth
the birth of baby christ
white is for hope
that things are alright

each flake that falls 
from the sky up above
is a gift from God
telling us we are loved

Over the Bridge

It is here I am safe
It is here that I know
but over the bridge 
Is where I must go

The bridge that gives passage
over quick muddy water
though why I say that
I don't know why I bother

over the bridge 
is a tall oak tree
and standing beneath it
is someone waving at me

crossing the bridge 
I see a man standing there
with paint splatered pants
and a head of white hair

looking closer I see 
exactly who's there
I see it's my papa
and I can't help but stare

I run right toward him 
and give him a hug
I ask how he got here
his response is a shrug

it's then I remember 
the fact that he'd died
it's then I remember
the tears that i'd cried

I ask how it felt
when he had died
he then looks at me 
and he promptly replied

he calmed all my fears
about what lies boyond
then he looks up 
because the suns almost gone

he says I must go
before the sun sets
but I don't want to leave
I'm not quite ready yet

he gives me a hug 
before I go
then tells me I can't share
the things I now know

I give a quick nod 
looking up at the sky
I don't understand
but I don't have time to ask why

turning around 
I try not to cry
I just cross the bridge 
when the sun leaves the sky

I turn back to look
one last time at the tree
but my papa is gone
as was meant to be

Winter Sunrise

a winter sun rise
barren trees aglow with frost
a blanket of snow
alit like fire from the sun
cover all that once was green

The Reluctant Graduate

It's Insanity 

I'm not ready
how could they think I was
I'm not ready for the world
to leave it all behind just cause

I'm not ready to move on
to tell all I love good bye
I'm not ready to graduate
will someone tell me why?

why does it have to end
especially so soon
I'm to young to be on my own
please tell me what to do

18 is not that old at all
to grow up and be an adult
to have a job and pay my bills
I know nothing of that stuff

please somebody help me
there has to be a way
school is all I've ever known
I won't be ready on graduation day

Tortured Souls

Tortured souls breaking free

outward bound into the night
tortured souls set me free

when you find your destiny
everything will be alright
tortured souls breaking free

let us go now finally
take this chance to set things right
tortured souls set me free

calm your fears and stay with me
gathering the strength to fight
tortured souls breaking free

holding on to what you see
looking into dawns first light
tortured souls set me free

why can't you just let me be
stay out of my wavered sight
tortured souls breaking free
tortured souls set me free

Where Were You

A little baby girl

not even one year old

without her daddies arms

the nights felt very cold



daddy I cant breath

so to the hospital they go

mommy held me down

where was my daddy though?



16 years had gone

my dad was mostly there 

but that morning he left

I said I didn't care



for two years I barely saw him

just talked to him now and then

but still I believed in him

and I'll choose to believe again



My graduation came 

he promised me he'd come

but when I walked across the stage

I only saw my mom



Why weren't you there daddy?

I still believe in you

I love you daddy and always will

please just show you love me too

Don'T Let Me Go

When the moon is high
and the night is cold
hold me close
don't let me go

When the wind whispers 
through the autumn trees
and the meadows grass
holds mysteries

When the clouds come in
blocking out the light
and even the hand near your face
is out of your sight

Hold me close 
near the fires glow
hold me close
Don't let me go

The night will end
and the sun will show
but at least till then
Don't let me go
