It wasn’t even twenty years before our dream-world died,
But life ain’t easy in this World, it’s full of grief and sighs.
The moment that we said: “I do”, our lives entwined as one,
We kissed away our past life’s loss to celebrate this one.
We both were married once before, we knew the rules of love.
We promised each, that we would last, ‘til death would cause the part.
We wed in California, on a bright and sunny day,
We traveled East to Cape Cod Mass., and settled there to stay,
‘Twas there we made our brand new life, a life of great rewards,
Rewards for each, my Judith and I, times every day by nine.
I’ll not forget her gracious smile, her funny-devilish eyes;
And how she put up with my deeds, my antics and my guile.
We laughed a lot and had more fun than what the law allowed,
We danced and played and even made a snowman in the drive.
But love has dips and curves and stuff, that sometimes makes a mess,
But if we started arguing, we both would get undressed!
And just to make it binding, we both promised this one thing,
To look back on our memories, say “I do” and try again.
And in the spring we set the flowers to grow as we would grow,
The Apple tree, the Lilacs and I can’t forget the Rose.
The rains and sunshine did their best, to nurture them to thrive,
But Nature has her way with us, to say what lives or dies.
The years passed slowly by at first, but then they seemed to speed,
At first we were an age of youth, the youth then turned to gray.
Throughout those years we found a lot of comfort, peace and soul,
“Til one sad day in April, when my loved one passed away.
I placed her in the Vineyard Sound, so I could watch each day,
To see her bridge a swollen tide, or tread the mourning waves.
In retrospect, it was our fate, that we would leave this world,
But why on Earth was it not me instead of lovely her.

God shows us tht our life we live is
borrowed
To live ur life cuz ur not gauranteed
tomorrow
he recently made a mistake tht
forever changed our life
He took away my cousin after only
12 yrs of life
well never get chance to to see wht
he could b
y take away good people tht this
world really needs
So many people choose to live the
wrong way
They take life they were givin for
granted every day
I dont kno if I can ever move on and
forgive
that cuz his mistake my cousins life
wa short lived
I been thru so much tht my heart
has gone numb
my aunt has to suffer thru life w out
her son
Id give anything for the chance 2 hv
another day
2 tell him how much hes truly
missed day after day
To kno tht hes touched our hearts in
a special way
its not fair tht his life was dealt w
unlucky fate
He will never b forgotten hes
changed our lives forever
Im thankful for the time we got to
spend together
well always remember his
unforgetable legacy
tht he truly is an angel tht we were
blessed to get to meet
Losin him makes me realize tht life
is to short
To c the good in me I never saw
before
Tht I should b happy w the life god
gave me
To finally show.people tht person I
can b
to remember life isnt gauranteed
tomorrow
To do sumthin good w the time he
let u borrow
I want to let him know tht he didnt
die in vain
Tht his life here made the world a
good place well never forget the
day god took him to c
that special place tht only angels like
him get to b
In your hands I placed him on the day that he was born
I knew that you’de take care of him, on this I would have sworn
Just like I had planned it, his birth brought joy unto your face
And an unconditional love that his mistakes could not erase
You hugged him and caressed him, to my great delight
And when the day was finished you tucked him in at night
When he had the sniffles you wiped his little nose
As he quickly grew you made sure that he had clothes
I want to say, “ thank you “ for caring for my son
I hope the days you had with him were filled with lots of fun
It has been my joy to bring this gift into your life
A gift you’ve always cherished even in times of strife
The memories that were made with him will be treasures within your mind
You tried to take good care of him, have patience and be kind
I knew that you would try to do your very best
Now that your job is complete, I do have one request
Place your eyes on the future that in this world you will not see
Know that there will come a day that you to will be here with me
A place there is no sorrow, no sadness or disgrace
You will hold my hand in yours and look upon his face
For I will never leave or forsake you, though I know that you feel alone
It was time for my son to come with me for this is not his home
Oh, I know that you will miss him more than words can say
But I will be here to comfort you all you have to do is pray

REQUISITE RECOLLECTIONS
I recollect it was sometime between childhood and the alter
You weren’t allowed in our club for only boys because you wore a halter
The clubhouse amidst the leaves on that old oak tree from which we hung,,,,
when we were young
I recollect us changing,
not year by year but day by day
Each day we talked about disparate dreams
Delightful differences to which we so tightly clung
When we were young……………….
It was somewhere between one day and the next
You went to sleep angry, I went to sleep remembering the melodies
All the voices singing in harmony that we were treated to
Lo, I fell asleep remembering all the hope filled songs the both of us once sung………………….
When we were young
I recollect a vow once made midst pews and stained glass windows
While staring into the eyes of the future and what was to come and what was to go
There was a time I would have let you in that club for only boys
Except I left you at the alter because vehemence was victorious over vows
I recollect it was somewhere between a thousand smiles but one long frown
That frown began when you swore your every idea brilliant and mine far too far flung ………………
I suppose that’s what happens when one is no longer young

I came into your life this one day.
I waited for you to save me;
Waited forever and a day for you.
Would have waited forever and two,
But I could not bare it anymore.
Seeing her with you.
Everything was alright when,
I knew that you were there.
Even though I knew it was wrong.
I still did it again and again.
I’ve told you over and over,
It’s me or her not both.
You didn’t want to loose me,
But you couldn’t be the ******* to her.
I told you just the other day,
I felt like one of these days,
You were going to walk away,
And I was going to have to say,
“You were one day too late,
Now I’m stuck in Hell.”
You told me I would never see the day,
That you walked out on me.
We were doing nothing wrong,
Feeling for each other what was felt.
To you it’s not considered,
Unfaithful to want another.
It’s only considered unfaithful,
When you place your lips upon another.
To me if you were really in love,
You wouldn’t be saying to me,
How much you would love to date me,
If you were just set free.
Well, I see the future,
I’ve waited forever and a day,
But now my darling lover,
You’re one day too late,
It’s not the day you walk out on me,
It’s the night I walk out on the world.
I guess I’ll see you in Hell.

The day had dawned with promises of times good
When the little child was begging for food
Hadn’t seen a morsel in days, still didn’t have it in sight
Would the Gods in heaven pity my plight?
The day had dawned and the nation saw rays of hope
Although Oh! Father, they found you hanging at the end of a rope
Unable to bear the grief of seeing his children die
Lying around, like birds that couldn’t fly
The day had dawned and the flag was hoisted
Pomp and show followed, banners were posted
But I didn’t get a grain of rice, even though I tried
And I watched, as of starvation, my brothers died
The day had dawned, and we’re independent they said
Free from the clutches of an anarchist figure head
But why am not free from this destitution
What did I get from freedom, or a new constitution?
Should I believe the hollow words of the proponents of this theory?
For their words are like icing on an undemocratic pastry
Or should I look around and trust what I see
Not a drop of water, not a standing tree
Look at the sky, God! Has the day dawned?
Look around you, and wave your magic wand
Rid the world of sorrow, set things right
Because for the little child, it isn’t dawn, it is still night
i know we were only together for a year
but i held you in my heart so dear
the love we shared was more then strong
i can't believe it lasted so long
nothing ever broke us apart
you told me i was forever in your heart
i did not see it coming the day i turned eighteen
it was almost as if it were a dream
you got on your knee and proposed to me
i did not know what to say you see
i thought for a minute and then said yes
you smiled at me and said your the best
i knew i wanted to spend my life with you
all of my dreams were starting to come true
the next day we went to size the ring
listening to the song we sing
in the car i was talking about the letters we need to send
i did not know this was going to be the end
someone ran a red light and hit our car
i had hit my head really hard
i woke up in the hospital and the nurse had said
I'm sorry but your fiancee is dead
i could not believe that it was true
i did not know what i was going to do
i cried so hard because it hurt so bad
i will never be happy i will just be sad
i sit here right now with the ring in my hand
i will never forget you my one and only man.
We Said Goodbye a Thousand Times
Don’t be sad about my parting
Don’t feel like you never said goodbye
For you and I both know deep in our hearts
That We Said Goodbye a Thousand Times
And shared so much love and joy every day
Be happy that I am now at peace
Be joyful that I have lived a wonderful life
Be happy that we have shared so much together
And remember I am always with you in a thought and a sigh
Every day when you see the beauty in nature think of me
Every day when you see the colorful flowers think of me
Every day when you see a frisky animal prancing around think of me
Every day when you look into the eyes of someone you love think of me
And know beyond a doubt that I am with you in everything you do
And know beyond a doubt that I am with you in everything you say
And know beyond a doubt that I am with you in every quiet moment of your life
Don’t be sad about my parting
Don’t feel like you never said goodbye
For you and I both know deep in our hearts
That We Said Goodbye a Thousand Times
And shared so much love and joy every day

Do not drink alcohol and drive......
A beautiful day brighten by a blue clouds
The smile of the sun lighten by its rays
Happily walking on the pavement of the road
Watching different vehicles that over crowd the roads
My eyes are catching a little boy try to cross the road
and knocked by a vehicle and thrown down to the street
Rushing to him and holding him in my hands
He was crying for his mother with stricken fear
My heart was broken in to pieces with sad and sorrow
Waited for ambulance that took long way to come
Looking at the sky and asking God to save this innocent child
Then I saw his mouth tremble followed by blood oozing
He died in my arms without seeing his loving mother
I could not hold my emotion any more, my tears rolled down
The driver of the vehicle was in drunken state and watching
Will he allow his own son to die like this way on the road
Will he remember this day and think everyone as his sons
Is there any difference between criminals and him?

Thump thump thump goes her heart
Patter patter patter goes the rain against the cool cement
Stomp stomp stomp goes her bare feet
Huff huff huff goes her fast breathing
She looks back not knowing where he is
But then she remembers what she did
She remembers the first day they met
But the fantasy never stays
She remembered the last day she saw him
Remembering the white dress on the ground
The bruises on her legs
And the blood on the sheets
After one night
There came another
And another
And another
She got tired of the smell
Tired of the pain
Tired of the bruises
Tired of the yelling
So she ran
Leaving the white dress on the ground
It was covered in his blood
As he lay there stiff
She kissed his forehead
Leaving a lipstick stain
Put on a satin black dress
And left him there to die
She got tired of the smell
Tired of the pain
Tired of the bruises
Tired of the yelling
So she made it go away…
