We who loved America
I enjoyed America and remember touring
a Sunday outside Houston (Texas), met in a café
a group of openly armed, elderly men
They were courteous people one could meet
I understood guns have cultural meaning
In America, we in Europe don't understand
I remember a saying, "A country where the populace
is armed, people are polite."
I stayed on the

God How I loved You
The taste of apples on your lips,
A sweetness lingering after rain,
It seemed the orchard leaned to us,
Breathing its fragrance through the dusk.
The scent of water in your hair,
Cool rivers winding out of night,
I bent my face against the flow,
And dreamed of stars dissolved in waves.
The sky and moon were one that hour,
A silver chalice held

In my dream, I have already loved you, with an endless passion
In my dream, I have already loved you, with an endless passion,
Like a star shining in the starry night, you are my unbroken light,
In every corner of my soul, I have felt you, like the sun's ray at dawn,
And in every beat of my heart, I have heard you, like the echo of an old

How we loved
When I think of you I break into a smile
for the many warm memories we’ve shared.
We’ve walked side by side mile after mile.
When I think of you I break into a smile,
your heart’s never once been tainted by guile.
We cared and loved as deeply as we dared.
When I think of you I break into a

To be loved
I want to be loved like they do on those romantic flicks
I know how cliche of me to want that right but i just want that once in a lifetime love
The love that can’t be forced and not easily destroyed
I’m sorry
I mean it’s never destroyed
I don’t want perfection
I want you to

Never Returned
I thought it was love, but I guess I was blind,
You just played pretend and toyed with my mind.
I gave you my heart, my soul, every year.
Returned was your silence, your distance, and your love never here.
I thought maybe one day you’d love me the same-how foolish to know
I was your puppet on a

BURPS
Miriam Millicent Mannerheim-Merps
Loved calling her two younger brothers, twerps
After she had her first child
Both were very sweet and mild
But when baby nursed, they crooned her with burps.

The Man She Loved
A queen banished from the land she loved
She is still treated with the respect due her
Yet all she can do is watch out a window
Hoping to someday be allowed home
To walk among the people she treasured
And, once again, be with the man she loves

Why we need to leave left behind letters to our loved ones
There are many Christians today, that are advocating always,
That we leave 'left behind letters,' to be read latter on, after
The harpazo of the church has both come and also gone.
Instructing our left behind loves ones they can still become
Saved during the earlier portions of the tribulation days.
And they won't be on their own, but

Have you ever loved someone so much you don’t want anyone to think bad of them?
Can you imagine that kind of love?
It sounds magical, like something that fell from the sky off the back of a dove.
Can you imagine that love wasted?
I’d tell you I didn’t know either, but I can still remember exactly how bad it tasted.

You loved me so much
You loved me so much
Also I am your son
That you had made me
In you own image
Many years ago
And placed me on earth
To live also with my brothers
We are already used
To live on earth
That is not a lie
Being sugar coated
We always tell you
The truth father
Be still
And wait for
The night to arrive
Because the day already ended
Very fast
