Cherokee Heart

Cherokee Warrior,
   so proud and free...
Tell me young warrior,
  what do you see?

A beautiful girl
  long hair of gold,
A carefree heart
  so tempting to hold.

Both young and so daring
  full of life and fun.
Each seeking happiness
  a place of your own.

A life of past hurts,
  could they overcome?
This Cherokee Warrior
  and the proud Golden One...

Love's Last Goodbye...

in loving memory of Norbert Terrio, we miss you..

Life takes it's toll,
yet time pushes on...
You don't understand 
  the things that you know.
Deny the reality, 
  the pain is too deep,
Things would be easier  
  if you could just go to sleep.
But sleep isn't easy,
  you want love to stay.
Afraid to close your eyes 
  lest life slip away...
Saying goodbye 
  seems the hardest part.
The simple acceptance 
  tears you apart.
The suffering is great,
  the pain is unreal,
So you try to hide 
  the hurt that you feel.
This kind gentle soul,
  the love you adore,
Lies quietly awaiting 
  the opening of the door.
Beyond is such joy,
  solitude and peace..
Your love is still waiting 
  for your gentle release.
You know it's time,
  the tears fill your eyes,
Tenderly you hold love, 
  and bid him goodbye...
