Twist and Turn

That spark deep down inside that keeps one going seems to fade
when lifes events drag us down, It's nice when there is someone there to pick up the
pieces when the only thing you can do yourself is fall apart. Yet you still give it your all at every 
twist and turn that comes up in this rugged path you follow. Some of us never see any reason
to just give up in life. But what we all must understand.is that some people have hit more then 
just a bump in the road. There twist was twisted way to far and there turn was just to sharp
to make it through to the straight an narrows of life again. They lost that spark because they 
were drug down with noone there to pick up all the pieces as they fell apart. So they have lost 
the path and feel like they could never return from there impossible Twist and Turn....

Always

Look deep into my eyes and tell me what you see.
You will love me to much to dis-respect me.
Like I will always do for you with all this love I'm feeling.
Let's try to be ourselves just like everybody else.
Noones pushing buttons that haven't been pushed before.
leave with no secrets locked behind the door in your closed mind.
You have valid love and truth in your heart and soul.
For 3 years you have kept me whole.
I'll leave these words here for you to read.
Because I know your kisses later will hit my cheeks.
theres never been a daul day with you babe.
You are always full of suprises.
Keep them coming. I love you always.

For You

Your love so true to the heart, to weaken or break down in strength
I for sure have chosen the right person to spend the rest of my life with
Your always there when I need you,and I'm there for you. when I am sick
your there to take care of me, I'll always be there to take care of you in sickness 
and in health. I mean I sit here and wonder thinking to myself, how in the world did I get so lucky to marry you. your everything to me and always will be baby, I love you so much,
nothing will ever change that.

Hero's

Hero's

It's wonderful all the people that are willing to come together,
No matter how big or small the disaster, Man made or mother nature,
They're always a lending hand to rebuild lives, We all need to keep our hero's 
of the world in mind, They never had to be this kind, They're present in your life for 
your relief,
Thank you search and rescue teams, Thank you anyone who is just a volunteer 
willing to help, 
I can't imagine How all those families felt,All the people lost there homes, Loved 
ones lost too, 
I feel for these people in knowing what they've been through, All in shock , Not 
knowing where to
go, After getting stuck in the path of an EF5 tornado, 

Inspired by a true story in Joplin Missouri. I was born in Joplin then moved away. 
Once I graduated high school. I  returned. I lived In Joplin for 6 years after 
returning. Then moved out of state. The day 
I was coming to visit my family in Joplin is the day that the storm came through 
producing this mass 
destruction. That day Was the 22 of may 2011..

Alone

Alone

Cut straight to the bone,

In the middle of this combat zone,

Sounds so full blown,

To me it's just another stepping stone,

If I only had a clone, 

noone should have to be alone,

My heart beats slow,

For it's covered in stone,

 Inside feels like home, 

 I was ripped from my throne,

Here just to pospone,

Added to be the unknown,

My voice has no real tone,

Jailed

Jailed

Tears fall like rain due to all the stupid little things left in your mind,
All those things are to remind you of your bad decision to do this crime,
So you will sit in your 5x10 cell and think about why you're doing time,
Soon you will get out and start fresh, What is out there for you to find,
It's all up to you to put yourself out here in the world, Life is blind,
You could have been the best in the start, You missed the signs,
Yes I do feel your pain, It was never too hard to see it in your eyes,
 I'm sorry you feel this way, When I'm not there I still hear your cries,
I hate to go so soon, but I've just thrown the rest of my cares into the night...

I Just Wish I

I Just Wish I

I just wish I..., Could meet you eye to eye,
In all of this negitive, Never open and selective,
Oh please, Don't forget about me, 
Becuase I Can't forget you, That, I would never do,
Starting all over again, Has left me with not a freind, 
But a life partner, Let's take this even farther,
No negitive creation, Leaving us in fustration,
 Take your time, I will take mine,
Read your bible, Turns out it's pretty reliable,
We  should love God before ourselves, 
God will pick us up again if it fails, 
Maybe it don't sound like a good idea to you,
Just look at all the things we have been through,
You wonder why I'm leaving,
It was all for good reason.......

P.S.  I'll be back, I hate it where I'm at.

Turn Around

Turn Around

Lost in every way, Almost every day,
Watch me disengage, Freed from this rage,
Yet locked in this cage, Ending in sorrow, 
it will be better tommorrow, Atleast I hope so,
Pick yourself back up slow, Then you can just go,
I will never rid myself from pain, 
So theres nothing to gain, 
Here's where I would start to explain,
I'm the one to take the blame, 
Thats right, I'm not affriad to claim it,
I'm the one that makes you feel like this,
Even though I've done all these things to the fullest mass,
I'd do anything to change it, And make a positive turn around fast.

No Way Out

No way out


 
  Tree branches cover my veiw of a moon lit sky,
         A cold foggy mist layers the ground,
         I see theres wind, I hear no sound,
       My heart beating in my chest is the only thing 
      being so loud, I need to stay strong, So I  can fix all 
   that feels so wrong, breathing would help me stay calm, 
But my mind feels boxed in, here I have no freinds, here is a dark
 place, Im still in Gods good grace, So the sun came up for me 
that very next day.

Thoughts of Us

Thoughts Of Us

A feeling so true, In colors of blue,
So often were the same,
Its what keeps us both sain,
We both feel were the ones to blame,
Then I read your letter and remember why I came,
Im sorry for my mistakes,
I want to let you know I'm not fake,
With you I'll never lose faith,
I've never without a doubt felt this way,
your the reason I wake up everyday.
