In Moments Like These

I need
Assaurance from my Maker
A hug from a friend
A smile from a stranger
A hello from a colloguea 
A kiss from my husband
And a thank you from my child.

Oh how I miss my child:
The sweet memories of a love that can never be
The heartache that will never pass 
The miracle we except to let go.

                I need
A prayer from my e-mail buddy
A “I love you mom” from my child
A miracle from up above
A word of advice from my mother
A helping hand from a stranger 
And a silent acknowledgement of my father. 

Oh how I miss my father:
The loving vioce and smile that use to touch my heart
The joy he brought with his appearances and the tears with his departure
The vivid memories of a longing so deep and a missing so painful it hurts.

             I need
A buddle of flowers
A teaspoon of happiness
A pot of love
A oceaan of courage
And a miracle to  understand

Could It Be a Endless Memory?

Could it be a Endless memory?

I miss your smile that use to cover my heart with love,
And the morning kisses that blow my mind away,
And the endless dreams that could never be
That’s why I still love you,
Memory of the Past

The waves are still white
The skies are still blue
The flowers are still blooming
That’s why I still love you
Memory of the Past


We use to run the fearless joy of love
And the embracement of our youth
The lingering for excitement
That’s why I still love you
Memory of the Past

And if our path may cross again
Like 2 ships in the opposite directions
Please accept my short coming in live
That is why I still love you
Memory of the Past

The days are still endless
My mind is slipping away
Your face had faded,
But why do I still feel the longing of a memory
That is still carving in my mind so vividly?

My Friend Called Aids

The why’s are gone  

I cried and catch a teardrop
I smile and touch my heart
I look and saw my soul
I leap and catch the future
  

I saw the pain and felt the hurt
I smell death and embrace God
My friend has passed  
And Aids stayed.


I saw it coming 
I felt the shaking
I acknowlege the monster
and except the pain.

NO, I’m on my way
I’ll be more cautious
 I’ll make the choice. 
I use A Condom

Freedom Is Here

I look and see nothing
I`m hurt and don’t feel it
I grow up and do not understand 
But freedom is here.

My fellow man is smiling
My enemy is crying
My life goes on just the same
But freedom is here.

I`ll try to keep it
I`ll try to destroy it 
I`ll try to embrace it
But freedom is here.

A child without food
A heart without love
A soul without morale
But Freedam is here.

Freedom Come 
Freedom Stay
Freedom is here
But are we free?
