The Greatest Gift

I remember on Christmas day 
Holiday cheer on my face
As I got up and looked under the Christmas tree
A box of wrappings and ribbons just for me 

What's inside?
I can’t wait to see
My curiosity is taking over me 
I really wonder
What could really be 
Inside my box
Under the Christmas tree

Maybe it could be 
Toys, planes
Lego's for me
Blocks, games
Maybe paintings
A coat, a hat
A nice pair of jeans’
Oh the wonderful things it could be 

So tear by tear 
Rip by rip
I open up my gift
From dear Saint Nick 

When I looked inside 
It bewildered me
It wasn’t what I 
Thought it would be
It was a photo of
 My family
I asked my mom 
What does this photo mean
She turned 
And said to me 
The greatest gift 
Doesn’t come from 
A box under a tree
The greatest gift comes 
From time with loved ones and 
 family 
And to me 
That was the best gift
I have ever received
And to me 
 that Is what Christmas
Truly really means

Beacon

My beacon of light
so so bright
Among the dark
You shine in the night

Without you 
I would be lost
Lost in the dark
Moving blindly without 
My spark

Trapped in the dark
Now so free
How lost I would be 
Without your beautiful 
Light to guide me

Im Sorry Brother

I´m sorry brother
I see you fighting
I see your battles
I see you trying
Even through your pain 
you are smiling

As time went on
His condition got worse
His body began to quake
His hand began to shake
His voice began to break

The news was hard for me to hear
Reality hit me hard
The end was so near

The thought of it was hard for me to grapple
I´m sorry to say brother
you have lost your battle

Close your eyes
You did your best
But it is time for you to rest
We are all happy that you tried 
But I´m sorry brother
Its time to say goodbye

Mask

A stranger
No one sees 
A mask that came to be
A different person 
Who Isn’t me 

Because of this mask 
I don’t feel free 
Trapped
Fearing no one 
Will like the real me

I feel like a stranger
So out of place
A fake smile upon my face

Outside I look fine
Even though 
I’m hurting inside

I smile when i’m sad
I laugh when I want to cry 
Because of this mask 
That I hide behind

Beast

Caged like a animal
Locked away
A hideous beast
Who cuts up
And rips out their prey

A monstrous beast 
Trapped in a cage
With nothing but its
Hate, pain,
And subliminal rage

This beast could be in you 
This beast could be in me
All I know is that it is 
Locked in its cage
Where no one can see

That horrible and vicious beast
Who shall never be free
That wretched beast that 
Lives inside of you and me

Left Behind

I never knew the worst feeling until now
This worse feeling 
Stuck in my mind 
The worse feeling 
Is knowing you are now somewhere else
and I am left behind

Life Moves Fast

Life moves fast 
So make the 
Memories last 
Move forward 
and stop living in your past

Take risks
Shoot your shot 
Become something great 
Dream big 
Find love
Happiness awaits
Adore the day
Enjoy the night
Explore new places
Admire new sights
Set bigger goals 
reach new heights
So go out their 
And live your life

Because life moves fast
It flashes before your eyes
You only have one chance at this
So go out their and live your life

My Christmas Wish

My Christmas wish 
On Christmas day 
Is that I wish
You weren't 
So far away 

My Christmas wish 
As I wish upon
The Christmas tree
Is that I wish you were her
Right next to me 

My Christmas wish
I ask it every year
Why do you have to go?
Why can't you just stay here?

My Christmas wish
Is that maybe 
You will stay
With me here on 
Christmas day
