My Mom

I know that you watch over us
And lend a giving hand
And every choice you choose for one 
Has reason in the end
So if I may apologize
If I offend you in anyway
But the truth be told; that woman's soul 
I wasn't prepared to give away
I know I may sound selfish
And you took her with open arms
But I wasn't ready to give her up
Because she is my mom
She's the woman that's always been there 
The one who's held me tight
The one who's wiped my tears from my face
Even after our little fights
She's the one I loved to laughed with
You can call her my best friend
She's a better listener then anyone
She kept my secrets till the end
She knows my heart along with my soul
And she thinks I'm truly brave
But this for truth, scares me to death
The thought of her forever away
I know each life has it's ending
And with every ending a story is told
My Mother's will be Deep Devotion
One she carried, no matter the cause
My mom's every bit of truly amazing
With affection, warmth, and love
Her patients she held down with kindness
Forgiveness, she's found that in all
So any person who has ever known her
Has been blessed with sweet memories
Of a petite redheaded women
Filled with Love and Generosity
So for me she could never be forgotten
No matter our time apart
For our bond remains forever
Stored deep within my heart
And I'm guided by the memories
Those I think of every day
And I pray she's truly happy
In Gods place she stays today
And my Love for her that's within my heart
Is where she always stays
Until that glorious day arrives
Where we shall meet again.....

One More

If we could have one more conversation 
I know exactly what I’d say 
I’d start by saying I’m sorry 
For taking you for granted in anyway 
I’d tell you I love your stories 
I’d hear them a million times 
And that you never were an inconvenience 
Even if I seemed so busy in my life 
I’d tell you I’m sorry for any fights we had 
And for ever getting upset with you 
I know you were just being a parent 
And doing exactly what you were supposed to 
I’d tell you that I may have acted, as if I didn’t hear what you said 
But I promise that every word that you spoke 
Is part of who I am today 
I’d tell you how much I love you
And how much I need you in my life
And how I feel lost without you
How, everyday is a struggle just to get by
I’d tell you how upset I get
And how everything seems so unfair
And that I pray to the Lord’ above 
As if somehow you’re going to appear
I’d tell you how important you are
And how much you mean to me in my life
And not to worry on how your raised us girls 
Cause I promise Mama, you did everything right

The Darkness

A feeling of being held down from inside
Trying to escape, but the grip is to tight
I climb and I claw
As I beg with a fight
But this darkness it knows
That I cant see the light
It torments and thrives
Of my lingering pain 
And laughs in my face
As it calls me insane
Each day it winds up
Just to unravel again
Giving me hope
Like I'm winning the game
Then as I think I'm almost there
Dreaming of breathing in all the fresh air
I have this feeling that comes over me
And the torcher starts over
Like a repeated scene

Remember

I know that you are lonely
And this world it seems unfair
The things that you have witnessed
Anybody it would scare
And it's hard to set yourself aside
From falling into the groove
Of the evilness that lives within
Anybody it could consume
Just try to think about the things
That you did from way back when
When you were just a child with heart
And yourself you'd yet to sin
And take those things that you loved best
And keep them in your mind
For the evil may take your body
But your soul it will never find

What Happens

What happens to ourselves
That make us always change
From the innocence of youth
To having hatred in our veins

Is it the way that we are living
Or the friends we are around
Or is it just our human race
And our hatred we are bound

We walk around and say nice things
But do we really care
Or is it all a cover-up
To act like we're sincere

We go around and smile at all
As if we're all best friend
But the truth behind it all untold 
Is each only has few they would defend

So still the question that remains
What happens in our life's
That changes the very soul of all
Our innocence we leave behind
