Poetic Puzzle

Just a quick intro...this is my fusion of a riddle in a poem and the answer is 
something everyone is familiar with. I always love for people to guess at it, 
so read it carefully and give it a shot....Who Or What Am I???

Poetic Puzzle # 1 

I Can Take You To The Highest Point 
Or I Can Take You Down 
Fill You With Such Great Desire 
I Can Make You Smile Or Frown 

I Am Heavy Like The Ore Of Metal 
Yet Lighter Than A Feather 
I Can Stop Within A Moments Time 
Or Go On And On Forever 

I Can Give Your Life Sweet Harmony 
Or Fill It With Despair 
I Can Fill Your Heart 
Your Mind 
Your Soul 
Or Just The Space Of Air 

You Cannot See Me Come Or Go 
But You'll Know When I'm Around 
If You Listen Very Close For Me 
You Can Hear My Every Sound 

Now Some Of You Have Figured Out 
My Every Rhyme And Reason 
For I Will Always Be Around 
Through Each And Every Season 

Who Or What Am I???

The Rose

THE ROSE

In A Field Of Green
Under Sky Of Blue
A SIngle Rose 
That Grows So True
Held With Care
Not Pricked By Thorn
With Tenderness
So Loves Not Torn

A Poise That Is
Forever Time
Holds A Heart
Within It's Mind
For Not One Flower
Can Contend
Compare It's Love
A Rose Can Send

It's Blossomed By
Sweet Nourishment
Yearns For More
Tis' Not Content
In Passed Time
The Petals Fall
That Shielded Core
Beneath It's Walls

It Withers
As The Days Flow By
Behold The Beauty
In Ones Eyes
A Tattered Shell
Shed's In The Wind
To Return...
To It's Begin

Sweet Little Angel

SWEET LITTLE ANGEL

Sometimes When Your All Alone
In The Stillness Of The Night
When Everything Comes Tumbling Down
And Nothings Going Right
Close Your Eye's
Spread Your Wings
And You Will Surely Fly
For To Me
You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til' I Die

You Want To Wish It All Away
You Wish With All Your Might
All Your Dreams Have Disappeared
You've Lost Your Will To Fight
Close Your Eye's
Spread Your Wings
And You Will Surely Fly
For To Me
You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til' I Die

When Your Falling
Falling
Fallen
And You Feel The Test Of Time
Think Of Me And I'll Be There
In Your Heart And In Your Mind
Close Your Eye's
Spread Your Wings
And You Will Surely Fly
For To Me
You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til' I Die

When Your World Turns Subtle Gray
And Your Feeling Deep Despair
Spread Your Wings And Fly Away
And I'll Be Waiting There
Just Close Your Eye's
And Spread Your Wings
For You Will Surely Fly
For To Me
You'll Always Be
My Sweet Angel
Til' The Day I Die

The Eulogy

THE EULOGY

When I'm As Dead...
As Dead... 
As Dead Can Be
When I Breathe No More
And My Eye's Won't See

When My Heart No Longer
Has A Beat
When My Life Has Lost 
To Deaths Defeat

When My Blood Has Drained
And Is No More
When I Am A Shell
Forevermore

When I'm Laid To Rest
In That Wooden Crate
One Day You Too
Will Find This Fate

When I Appear 
In Slumbered Sleep
Please Wear A Smile
And Do Not Weep

Then Walk Me Down
That Lonesome Mile
And Bury Me
With Grace And Style

Before You Leave
Please Think Of Me
And Keep Me In 
Your Memories

For The Day Will Come
We'll Meet Again
I'll Be The One To Greet
All My Friends

So Carry On
And Live Your Life
But Keep Your Hands
Off Of My Wife
