Red, White and Blue

He Lay Where He Had Fallen.
Enemy Fire Had Brought Him Down.
He Knew His Life Was Over,
As He Lost All Sight and Sound.

He Knew a Peaceful Sleep,
Amidst the Raging Guns of War,
But for Him the Fight Was Over.
He'd Gave His All..And More.

Oh, He Was Not Alone.
Others Have Fallen Too.
And Time Will Not Erase the Fact...
They Fell for Me and You.

We Owe These Men and Women,
For They Never Got Any Older.
We Didn't Even Know Them.
To Most of Us They Were..Unknown Soldiers.

So Rest in Honored Glory,
Each and Every One of You.
You Gave All You Had to Give...
For Freedom and the Red, White and Blue.

Star Wish

Have You Ever Wished upon a Star?
And Did Your Wish Come True?
I Think I've Wished for Many Things,
But this Is My Wish for You.

I'd like to See You Happy,
After All That You've Been Through,
And I'd like to See That Smile...
The One That Belongs to You.

You Came to Me Some Time Back,
With Emotional Confusion and Fear.
I Told You There Were Answers,
But You'd Find Them in the Mirror.

I Believe the Day Has Finally Come,
That the Dark Days You Had Are Ending...
For this I Wished upon a Star,
And I'm Glad Your Life Is Mending.

Now You're Standing on the Brink,
Of Your Happy ever after.
I Wish the Very Best for You
And Most of All..Lots of Joy and Laughter.

A Mile In Her Shoes

A mile in her shoes
You look at her and wonder
and simply do not at all understand
You would think she would leave him
Before things really get out of hand.

She thinks we don’t notice
The days she shows up newly bruised
Some of us look down on her at times
Because she allows herself to be abused.

I cannot look down upon her
Because I have walked in her shoes
You cannot know the pain she has
Or her shame she has for being used 
 
She has children she must think of
And bills that need to be paid
Food for the table to be purchased
There are so many reasons she’s stayed

Her dreams and life have shattered
And hope died so long ago
Love has a different meaning to her
Something most of us will never know
 
So do not harshly judge her
She is aware of your opinions and views
And you should never ever judge her
Unless you have walked a mile in her shoes

Only Love of My Life

Only Love of my Life

 You asked me once if I love you
And is this love for you true
You had to know would it be forever 
All these assurances just for you

So here is the way I feel about you
And this will hold true all your life
All that I am or ever hope to be
Is all wrapped up in one word…wife

I love you way past never my dear
It has been that way since we met
Don’t doubt what I say is true.
Loving me is nothing you’ll ever regret

I will stand by you tall and proud
You are loyal, loving, honest and true
I love you more every day we spend
Now you know how I feel about you.

And there are just a few more things to say
Sometimes you think I don’t see 
The nice little things I know you do
And the best is what you do for me

You bring me coffee in the morning
When my mind is still half asleep
You talk about your day with me
What we share together runs very deep

You are the only love of my life
There is no one better for me than you
So remember sweetheart please
I love you so and you love me too

Three Wishes

Three Wishes

If I Could Have Three Wishes,
I Wonder What They'd Be?
Would I Have the Wisdom, 
To Not Think Just of Me?

It May Not Be a Good Thing,
To Be Given Something Free.
It Would Lose It's Value,
But That Is Hard to See.

I Could Ask for Money,
But What Would it Be Worth?
I Couldn't Take it with Me,
When I Have to Leave this Earth.

But There Are Three Things,
That I'd like to Call Just Mine.
Love and Happiness Are Two,
The Other...Peace of Mind.

I'd Have All I Could Wish For,
If I Just Had These Three.
Then I Could Be of Help to Others
And Not Be Thinking Just of Me.

The Truth

Have You Ever Took the Time
To Take a Look at You?
You're the One Who Truly Knows
What Is or Isn't True

Have You Done All the Things
You Ever Wanted to Do?
And Have You Done Them Well?
The Truth Lies Only With You.

And at this Time in Life
Are You What You Wanted to Be?
Or Did You Lose Your Way?
Only Your Eyes Can See.

I Looked at Who I Am
And Found a Lot I'd Left Undone
But Who Should Take the Blame?
.....I Am the Only One.

The Last Time

Graduation, Caps and Gowns,
Proms and Staying up All Night.
One Last Gigantic Party
Before You Enter Life's Great Fight.

You Haven't Got a Single Clue
About the Things You'll Have to Face,
But You're More than Something Special'
And Won't Lose in Life's Long Race.

So Enjoy Yourself Tonight
The Memories Will Live Forever.
And You'll Look Back with Fondness
At the Last Time You Were All Together.

One Thing I Would like to Say,
Just from Me to You.
Deep down Inside You Hold the Key,
To Whatever You Wish to Do.

Pearl Harbor

We All Know Pearl Harbor
And the Devastation There.
The Men and Women That We Lost,
Was Very Hard to Bear.

We Were Taken by Surprise,
So Many Things Went Wrong.
But the Memories Will Live,
Even Though It's Been So Long.

There Are Those That Did Survive,
To Live Another Day,
To Wonder How it Happened,
A Price They Have to Pay.

Even Though Time Has Passed,
The Memory Stands Clear.
Even Time Cannot Erase,
The Loss That Was So Dear.

That's Why We Are America,
We'll Defend it to the Death
And Say   We Shall Be Free!,
With Our Dying Breath.

Hook, Line and Sinker

Hook, Line and Sinker
I went fishing by myself today
It is not something I normally do
I like to sit by the water’s edge
Watching the light reflect off the blue

Yes I like the fishing part
The hook, line, sinker, bobber and worm
And just in case I get a bite
I have a grip on the pole that is firm

I can’t think of a better thrill
Then to see the bobber go down
I try to remember all that you said
To make that fish land aground

But whatever has taken the bait
Is not coming in like I thought
It has other ideas in mind
I can tell you that fish really fought

Finally after quite a while
The fish gave up the fight
I was tired clear to the bone
But oh my what a beautiful sight

Twenty pounds at least I thought
I envisioned catfish filets all around
It got it close up to the bank when I heard 
The most terrible horrible sound

I lost my hook line and sinker
The sound was the twang of my fishing line
The catfish saw me up close and left
And destroyed my vision of catfish divine

Time To Go

Time to Go


 Now I Lay Me down to Rest,
 and I've Had a Pretty Good Life,
 but Now I Think It's Time,
 I Went to Join My Wife.

 We Were Married for Many Years
 and I've Not Done Well on My Own,
 So at Last We'll Be Together Again,
 and Now I Won't Be Alone.

 I Had All My Children Around,
 but You Know It's Not the Same,
 So Excuse Me If I Don't Feel Bad
 I Am  Done Playing Life's Game

 So Don't Grieve Overly Much for Me,
 I Was Never One for Emotion,
 I'm Tired and Want to Go Home,
 but I Appreciate Your Devotion
