Where Can I Find You

I can not stand feeling so alone 
Inside I'm just so torn apart
I need that love, you know the kind
That special love that mends a heart

I need someone who shows they care 
Someone to fill this void of mine 
One that brings me true happiness
I've been unhappy for such a long time

When the day is at end and its time for bed
I lay there for hours I cry many tears
Wanting so badly just to be held
God I've been lonely for so many years

For so very long I have searched for you
I need to find you where must I look
Why haven't I found you after all this time 
Is it because you only exist in a fairy tale book

Daddy's Little Angel

She is just a baby 
To young to understand 
Her little bowed legs 
Her longing out stretched hand

The world revolves around her
As far as she can see
She can't yet comprehend
Why mommy and daddy disagree

She's walks and talks 
She listens and she learns
She now has a vague idea 
For what daddy always yearns

Mommy yells at daddy
Daddy yells at mom 
So very little changes
It just goes on and on

A little older now 
She hates the arguments
She lives and loves the both of us
To her it makes no sense

Why mommy loves her daddy
And daddy lovers her mom 
Yet they fight with such bitterness
And seem to mean such harm

Then they hug, kiss and love 
Things so much improve
And life is so much happier
Her hurts and fears are soothed

She sees the danger coming
She has seen it all before
Quietly inside herself
She's prepares for a war

The house explodes in violence 
The accusations fly
The chaos just goes on and on
As bitter years go by

Daddy's gone the fighting stop
But life is none the better
She's always wanting her daddy
In her hand she holds his letter

The letter's from her daddy
She reads it with a tear
Her daddy he's so far away
She wishes he was near

As he writes with anger
She can almost see
The evil men in her daddy's world
What terror that must be

Her daddy writes the loving words
She wants to hear him say
She reads of all his promises
He says he'll prove to her one day

She Just wants her daddy home 
She doesn't even care
Things could be just as they were
If only her daddy were there 

I know that it will take some time
I know there will be pain
But for rainbows and for sunshine 
First there must be rain 

There always will be storms 
Life is just that way
But when this storm is over 
Maybe her daddy will come back to stay

Here I make my promise 
To my first baby girl
The life you've always wanted
Ill bring you in this world

I know that when your dad comes home 
he will show you what he means
All the happiness you deserve
Is coming in your teens

Just wait a little longer 
God protects us all
One day we will recover
From this, our biggest fall

I Often Wondered Why People Do Drugs

Drugs mask feelings and cloud ones mind
So many drugs out there in this day and time 
Reality isn't possible for one to alter
But you can very much alter a human mind
Drugs come in all quantities, or choice of many kinds
Deep inside you feel a void
You suddenly try filling it with a drug
And before long your to far gone to realize
Your very own grave you have probably dug.
There so many who sell drugs on the streets
Drugs sold from house to house, at schools in the halls
Kids even sell for parents, in shopping malls
Life is so different from what it use to be 
There was a time we had morals we all lived by
And we didn't really have reason to fear
But just like respect, love, and dignity
It seems to have all just disappeared
I often wonder, could I have helped
Could I have maybe turned even one against drugs
If just once I had listened to how one felt
Or reached out and took them by the hand
Or by letting them know they are loved with a simple little hug.

Drunk Driver's

A child was playing by a sidewalk one day
Too young to understand the ways of a drunk man
Not knowing the danger just a few feet away
Laughing aloud across the street he ran
He never made it to the other side 
That very day it all began
Hit and killed by a drunk driving his car
Don't they know it the biggest crime of all
To run a baby down and just watch him fall
To leave in a mothers arms a lifeless doll
That broken hearted mother knelt by his little bed 
In her hand she held his tiny shoe
As she realized the pain she'd face ahead
That child's mother could have easily been you
Don't they know its the biggest crime of all 
To leave a mother without her baby at all
Staring at his picture she held in her hand
As the tears poured down her face 
She Knew no one could ever take his place
That child's broken hearted mother 
A silent prayer she said
To all of you who drinks then drives 
please don't leave us with empty beds
Mothers pray for the safety of your babies ahead
Don't they know it's the biggest crime of all
To drink and get behind a wheel to drive at all 
To run our babies down and not even see him fall
Leaving  us mothers with only memories of it all
That broken hearted mother has something she wants to share 
Lord, teach those drinkers what they need to know
And for us mothers Lord, please hear my pray

Sister

A Sister is someone who stands by your side
A Sister is someone in whom you confide

A Sister's  your strength when you are weak 
A Sister's your voice when you can not speak 

A Sister is someone very special and dear 
A Sister is someone you want to be near

A Sister's your crutch when you can't walk
A Sister is someone you do not mock

A Sister is faithful tho you've caused her pain
A Sister helps you through, your tears and rain

A Sister should always make you feel loved
A Sister can be a sister, without being blood

A Sister should never make you cry
A Sister shouldn't listen to anyone's lie

My Sister, my friend, my confidant, 
I thank God for her, whether she believes it or not

Michael

MICHEAL

I passed by your old house today
The place, you once called home. 
Your new home now, is Heaven 
Sitting up there, by Gods Throne.

I pictured us in the dungeon 
Where we all had so much fun. 
God, in that room all we did 
Was sat for hours, getting spun.

Years ago when we first met 
Life was great, in everything done.
Hearing your stories about the cops 
How you'd ditch them how you'd run.

Stories o,f how you hid under houses 
How you ran through neighbors lots. 
And all the crazy things you did 
If you heard someone yell, the Cop's.

Countless times I came to you 
When my life was in despair. 
You never once turned me away 
You proved to me how much you cared.

Remember the times, when you cussed at God 
I've heard some say it's called blasphemy. 
But I know, in your heart you knew 
Jesus died for you on Calvary.

Remember how we truly believed 
Life had no purpose, so it seemed.
We thought we were living reality 
But now you know, it was just a dream.

Michael I felt so very honored 
When u called me your best friend. 
And now you know without a doubt 
To me how much you meant.

Not Making time to spend with you 
It's a regret, now on my list. 
Never seeing you. or getting advice
Everything, I'm gonna miss.

For your life we celebrated 
At Cyndi's on December 7th. 
I'll keep you alive with memories
Until we meet again in heaven.

Michael, I will always love you 
Your friend always Chick

He Loves Me

To me he said I Love You,
My life then turned around. 
The love I've always dreamed of, 
I'm sure that I have found.
He turns my sadness into joy 
He makes me laugh not cry, 
I can't thank the Lord enough 
For such an awesome guy. 
When he's at work I miss him 
The days are much too long, 
An hour seems forever, 
At least the eight he's gone. 
As soon as all his work is done 
He rushes home each night, 
He wraps his arms around me, 
And holds me very tight. 
He says, I've missed you baby 
I can't stand to be away, 
Your all that I can think of 
Every second of each day.

Fear

I live my life in fear each day 
Afraid to die in any way 
To die in pain of any kind 
Such awful things run through my mind 
People tell me "death is happiness" 
A place called heaven awaits above 
Where there's no pain, sorrow, but lots of love 
Why do I listen to what people say 
When they've never been there in any way.
If I said I wasn't afraid to die 
I would only be telling you a lie 
My fear of death is so unreal 
But we all will go, no mater how we feel 
The thought of being in a deep dark hole 
I pray to God, please take my soul.

Sweet Memories

I can still see your smile 
Your sweet and peaceful face. 
As you laid there in your casket 
Lined with satin and white lace. 
I stood beside you and caressed 
Your hand that was so cold. 
As I remembered how you said 
Together we'd grow old. 
On July 21st I found you 
And my life was torn apart 
July 27th I said goodbye. 
Walked away with a broken heart.
If just once more I could hear you laugh 
Or even see you smile. 
Just to touch your face once more 
I'd crawl a million miles.

Mom

From your womb is where I came 
I got spanked, you gave me my name, 
My first months you never left my side 
But that day you did, I just cried, 
Staying with him, you couldn't  take it
But for my sake you could have faked it, 
I wish you were still my daddy's wife 
I have longed for you near me all my life, 
If it wasn't for you I would not be here 
So in my heart you'll always be dear, 
This is for you mom wherever you are 
Whether you are near or very far.
