I remember so clearly a day
                   when Mommy made it go away
When every hurt and every pain
       with just her tender...

I've been around a lotta years!
I've traveled the road of life!
I've had many, many, ups and downs,
times of joy, and grief, and strife!

I've tried my best, to keep looking ahead,
but on occassion, I'd pause to reflect!
I call upon, hard lessons learned,
to attain the results, that...

"Make It Count"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

A
Man may
Come to play
But if you say
Oh no baby, not today
Do you think he would stay
Or would he go so far away
In search of another lover he could lay
Doing everything...

Oh what a delight
If I had it my way, enjoy something I like
Drop everything and just take flight 
No stress no worries like a kid, just me and my bike

Lesson at hand don't grow up too fast
Childhood days are just a short span
Before you know...

we visited-
brandenburg gate and   charlottenburg palace
   oh so lovely
we prayed on our knees at the berlin cathedral
saw all the museums there are to see
I wept at the berlin wall
but darling, lets go back, lets hurry
To das stue hotel and close the...

Birth: the first step to journey’s end.
We cannot travel and pretend
That our paths will be all straight
And leave the helm to luck, not faith.
There will be chasms full of gloom
Where evil spirits hide and loom
The eerie feelings forecast doom
And wide-eyed flowers do not bloom;
There will...

"Make it quick" they barked. "We all have to pee."
The cock legged one woofed right back, "Don't rush me!"
Female dogs may have fleas
But they don't wee on trees
Trans surgery gets rid of that weenie!

Extreme pain and agony consumes me,
this state I'm in will soon ruin me;
though I want to live a long healthy life, 
I may not make it through the night.

The pressure constantly builds inside,
upon my face lies dried tears from my silent cries;
though I pray for...

I know times are hard and the storm seems unbearable
Your heart is broken and everything seems irreparable
But you're stronger than you know, so take one step and say
I'm going to make it through the day

Hold your head high even in times of distress
Your good days...

Buried alive by your goodbyes
Airborne dead by your senseless lies
Overcoming feelings of hurt,
Seeking first His comfort

Drenched in silence 
While the waters rinses away
The dread from my head
The squalid grief left me
Breathless for only a moment,
Then it disappears instead

So sick of the sorrow
So, I’m high up...

Can I kill the pain today?
Just make it all go away?
Can I breathe again today?
Just make it all seem so far away?
Yesterday is over
The past is dead
Why is it so hard to get that through my head?
All the sleepless nights spent thinking about you,
and how...

Life
    is a window
an opportunity
    a picture 
of beauty,
flung open
for all to see
profound
complex,yes
with twists
and turns,
never flawless
but speckled,
grainy
a gossamer..
here today
where?
       ...tomorrow...
