To have an infatuation on your mind
Through this endless day
The need to make a lonely entity whole
When you love someone they cloud your heart
Bringing forth an illusion that has just begun
Impending love
Tis better to have loved, then never to have loved at all
Such opinionated words
Blissful ignorance to never know your touch
I wish I knew the feel of your kiss
Lessons that are burned, something to never unlearn
Human desires can be misguidance
Bewitched by my own wants
Every breath I laid was all for not
To become emotionally stunted and defenseless
A feeling of numbness
Exhausted from self-pity
To be delusional. I don’t feel anything
But you live and learn
Live and learn
Enrich and grow
Edify yourself
And go with the flow
Brighten your horizons
Fill your heart with happiness
Build your inner strength
Continue to be blessed
There comes a time in every man’s life
When he considers taking a wife.
Who’s to say, what’s right, what’s wrong
As long as both feel they belong.
I’m content now with the choice I made
And know our memories won’t fade.
So, listen now and hear my song
As our love continues to come on strong.

Education is very important
So do not be ignorant
Go to school
And do not be a fool
Life is not about making money
But live for the glory
Learning will help
you shape your destiny
Be useful to people
Show good example
For if you do not learn
you will not know
Why the should a man gain the world
And looses his soul
So live and learn
We are never to young to take the reigns...
We can never be to old to feel the pain...
We are never to young to have our say..
We can never be to old to walk away...
We are never to quiet to be heard..
We can never be to loud to sound absurd
We can learn from the young and abserve from
the old.. But without living and learning from
either are minds would be sold..
Only when I have stopped thinking
And the past equator closes up
When all my friends have all been divided
My faith in humanity may be restored
An inkling of raised voices
A carpet of shattered breath
The purpose of my being
Is yet to be addressed
That old famous fragrance
Distilled nectar to my throat
Pleased me relentless
And lubricated my hurt
I began to build a facade
Laced with blood and sweat
Deliberate incisions
Drawn deep into the flesh
All those feline apparitions
Sent my body into asthmatic gasp
Peeling back my emotions
And castrating my novice heart
She had become too dominant
Restricting all open doors
My conquests became relegated
Leaving me abandoned again once more
Without reason and substance
A body will cease to care
So I sank my teeth into distance
And held a lifetime in my hands
Rich pallid Soil welcomes me
To ambitions set in stone
A new but older version of me
Now begins to live and learn.
You need a teacher to guide,
Life's experiences are a tool,
Sometimes it is what you feel inside,
Every day is precious like a jewel,
Never forget where it is you come from,
Someday you may return,
You win some you lose some,
Watch what bridges you burn.
Parenthood is made of trials
Experiences we have shared,
Just as our parents had
To shows they cared.
Growing up now is the same
Just don't ask the kid's today,
They will only disagree completely
Doing the opposite of what you say.
Don't worry about setting rules
They will simply just ignore,
You mention they are grounded
They still head out the door.
You explaine you have more knowledge
For you was a child once to,
They sit and roll their eyes
Nothing you say is getting through.
Some are just way out of control
They lie,cheat in school and steal,
You try hard to change them
But, seriousness to them isn't real.
So, with only your continueous love
There's nothing left for you to do,
They must now live and learn on their own
For they are grown just like you.
