Freedom

Freedom

They gave us the 
chance of freedom
They faught for all 
of us
You, me, and even 
themselves
Those men and 
women never gave 
up
Through the sweat, 
tears and blood
They never gave up
Some lost their 
lives
Some lost their 
wives
Mothers and 
fathers all over 
grieved
Knowing what a 
hero their child 
is/was
This 4th of July 
may you not forget
What they gave up 
for you and for me
They must know 
the appreciation 
They gave us 
Freedom 
Let Freedom Ring

Blue Eyes and Pain

You sit there with a blank look on your face
I'm wondering what brought you to this place
In which you have allowed yourself to sink and dwindle into
I walk over to you and I put my arms around you 
You shrug off the hug and push me away
I don't know how to get you to stay
You appear to be so happy 
however I know the real you.
I know the pain and hurt within 
I've seen it before my friend
Behind those blue eyes
Behind that smile
I see it
I see the pain 
I see the hurt
I see the blame
I see the shame
We've all been there before 
Just on opposite sides of the door
Sometimes we fall and we can't lift ourselves from the floor
For the pain is too much
I'm here always
I'm here yesterday 
I'm here today
I will be here all the tomorrows
Don't go through this pain alone

My Gift

I never asked for 
this gift
It came to me.
Now its a perfect fit
I write sometimes 
to escape
To escape the 
realities of today.

My life is never 
boring
For I have many 
untold stories.
Come, sit for awhile
Let my imagination 
take over
You will like what 
you discover.

Nothing is of false 
attitude
Just a lot of untold 
truth.

My mind is chaotic 
at times
I wouldn't trade it 
for a minute.

I hear all of the 
sweet chimes
Pen to paper or 
fingers to keys,
Whatever it takes 
to appease.

I have a growing 
audience
That gives me a 
place of ambience.

I didn't ask for this 
gift
But with that.....I 
don't regret having 
it!

Breathe Me In

What I would give to have you in my arms
To shelter you from all of the harm
Not the harm of others but of that from yourself
I would give the world to you
If only you knew

If only you knew what you were doing
How can I make you see
Why is it so hard to comprehend they ask
They don't understand like we do
They can't see like we see

I want to shelter you from your own storms
I want you to feel 
I want you to taste and to smell 
I want life for you but not the life you want 
I want more for you

Just walk through that open door 
Its not locked, it's open
Come in, breathe, inhale
Breathe the life I have given you
Reap the words I say to you

Take all of my life and breathe me in
Trust me when you fall I will catch you
I will never let you fall
I will always be here
Waiting...
Waiting...

Come...live...for I will shelter you
I give to you life the life you so deserve
My dying life is yours to breathe in 
To carry on, to live strong...
You my love; you are strong...
