How Lucky We Are

Been so lonely a long, long time
Cannot do it wrong, wrong time
So dazed and confused
That I feel slightly used

From some abuse I sustained long ago…  
This could have made me go very slow…
Not on your life, I go very fast…
I want to get there, Don’t want to be last…

I was beat like a man by the time I was 5
It is a wonder that I came out alive
My grandmother died at the hands of this man
It is a cold case file so what’s the plan

I could never do what was done to me
Wanting my children to be wild and free
Live your life freely for you will know
To open your eyes and watch the show

I lived a life that was not for the meek
Scared for my life every day of the week
Once it was known what happened to me
My mom made it so we could be free

She was scared for her life as well you know
Now none of that matters we were able to go
Holding a knife to his greasy throat
She escorted him out to the dirty road

How lucky we are to be free
I sure am happy to be me
My children have children that make me smile
Think I will go run the miracle mile

Your Beautiful Spirit

I open my mind for you to look
And see that I am like a book
Very easy to read in every way
Sitting here waiting for you to say

Things that you like to go and do
I want to know if I can go too
Just hanging about in your company
And that is where really I want to be

We can go places or just hang around
Even talk freely or not make a sound
I dream that you love me as I love you
To love you forever as I want to do

You are so pretty that I can say
That you make it so easy for me stay
I love you eternally and even more
Your love makes it easy for me to soar

If you ever stopped loving me tell me so
It would not be easy but I’d let you go
Could be so angry I know you would hear it
But I could not darken your beautiful spirit

I hope you are happy with the love of this man
He knows that he loves you it is in his plan
To be with you always as your spouse
And to live together and build your own house

This Friend

This friend
Will not bend
Love I will send
Right until the end
It’s not a passing trend
If I broke it I would mend
What you needed I would lend
On this nothing would rely or depend
Just to let you know that I will always be your friend

Stronger Than I Was

I wish to be a better man
Stronger than I was
I think this is a better plan
Than doing as I does

I use every euphemism
That its possible to muse
As affects within a prizm
The refraction is in use

Happy brought to light
As the darkness fades away
The world can be so bright
As I hang with you this day

Feel as though I love
A feeling that so light
Fitting like a glove
Why does it feel so right

I smile at your thought
And the smirk upon your face
With all the joy you've brought
I want you in my space

If I could hold you in my arms
I would never let you go
We could be our lucky charms
If we let our feelings show

Just because I feel this way
You may not feel the same
There is never much to say
As no-one is to blame

But if a heart is pumping
Expression is the key
Have to keep it thumping
With love to you from me

Never Give Up

Never give up
What you want is not always what you need
Always keep your chin up
Even though we can get cut and will bleed

I try never to feel down
And try only to feed on what I need
My chin is always up
Not all wounds I have received would bleed

Keep yourself on the level
And you will succeed
When you’re not on the level
You only succeed with your greed

I try always to be on the level
But don’t always succeed
When I was not on the level
I did succeed with my greed

I will never give up
May not get what I want but get what I need
Hope you will keep your chins up
May you all survive times of very great greed

Be Mine Forever and I Will Be Yours

In my mind I see you smile
Have seen you do it all the while
It is a sight I would not miss
And just love it when you kiss

Our minds make love in sweet elation
I would have you as my relation
My love for you it runs so deep
And though I lust for you it is not cheap

I will always be there for you to know
That with all of my love I am going to show
For me no other can make me feel right
Your love is the light that gives me insight

Be mine forever and I will be yours
You know I will help with all of the chores
If we do things together we may not agree
But the joy of our love is we get it for free

I would lay down my life to keep you from harm
Even cover you in blankets to keep you quite warm
If you tell me you love me and hold me so close
I will shine even brighter than any rainbows

Never Grow Up

I have bent and I’ve swayed
And swung back and forth too
Then I went and I played
Did it all with my crew
Take time to have fun
So you won’t miss the glee
Just go for it and run
Even climb up a tree
If you go out and play
Just what would you do
It is for you to say
Or it is even with who
Not missing a beat
On my way out the door
I grab something sweet
And yell I want more
I always feel young
Cause I do like to play
I am very high strung
Wouldn’t you say
Play well and be healthy
To feel like a child
You will always be wealthy
Even if you are wild
I will never grow up
I will always feel new
Will you show up
To say that it’s true
I’ll be young til I’m gone
I can never be old
My life it has shone
As shiny as gold

Don'T Do Crack!!!!!

Crack this nut
Crack that nut
Do it and…
I’ll kick your butt

Ya don’t do crack
Ya wipe it
Yer just a hack
If Ya like it

Ya don’t get off
Ya get away
Yer just a goof 
If Ya like it

I Am a Winner

I get up every morning

When a smile is on the way

life is never boring

if you just head out to play

 

Had a toast at breakfast

to make me feel real warm

had to make my drink last

for me this is the norm

 

My midday always rocks

I'm halfway through the day

pulling up my socks

to go back out and play

 

I stop for lunch at noon

so I can fill my empty tank

if i sing a different tune

It is something I just drank

 

When my workday ends

I am never done quite yet

my love it never bends

take all that you can get

 

I sit me down for dinner

to have a healthy meal

Oh yes I am a winner

I'll cash it in for real

 

My evenings are always happy

they are filled with love and joy

with my evenings never crappy

I am like a little boy

.

Show True Love From the Heart

Showing that you love someone
Has many ways to show
Only with the love for one
Will these feelings grow

True love has no set boundary
Remain yourself the same
Unusual that love is free
Essential is more the name

Look into the eyes
Of the one you truly love
Vanquish evil lies
Evil needs a shove

For love can grow eternally
Reap so shall you sow
Open up for them to see
More than you can know

To all I wish true love
Hope you find it all
Everyone and all

Happiness is love
Eating at your soul
And happy as a love
Ready set and goal
Take my advice GET SOME
