Until the Lord

To sit back and watch you cry
I would rather not live, but to die
Restricted back by thy mother
Stricken made by your brother
Sweep you up and hold you tight
And love you through life and night
Until the break of dawn appear
This shall reveal do not fear
I’ll always be your open shoulder
I’ll always be your loving holder
Until the day, we split apart 
And with the lord a beautiful start

Next To My Dad

It breaks my heart
How this had to start
I killed both with one shot
I killed them on the spot
My son at home in my chair
Thinking how his a daddy won’t be there
I am sorry for what I did
But who can I kid
Now it is time to say goodbye
It’s my time to fly

So this will tell you not to hurt
And not to be a jerk
Or you’ll be on a slab
Next to my dad

Change

What do I think about the USA?
A lot more than before that day,
They tried to change us forever,
But they brought us closer together,
The flag on every house,
A man or woman without a spouse,
All the loved ones fighting over seas,
Just to let us be free,
I can’t wait till they come home, 
It’s not enough to talk on the phone,
We thank you for being kind,
You are quite a find,
You will always be in my heart,
When we are apart.

Light In Me

I love you with all my heart
And I don’t know where to start
You are the one I always see
And I hope we can be
They say love is many things
It’s really what love brings
I see come down a light of beams
I see you in my dreams
When can we be together?
When will we be forever?
So now I’m asking for you to see
The greatest light in me

One More Tear

One more tear mustn’t shed
While I lie in this bed
One more tear mustn’t fall
For my forever love will forever call
One more tear I mustn’t weep
While I lie before my sleep
One more tear mustn’t be cried
Just because you have died
But in my soul you will stay
As I go on day by day
We will forever meet once again
As that won’t come till my end
Missing you I’ll forever cry 
While saying to you another goodbye

When I Think of You

When I think of you so sweet
I'm sure my heart skips a beat
When I hold your loving hand
I feel like the king of all the land
When I look into your beautiful eyes
I feel like I’m soaring through the skies
When I hold you close to me
I feel as every bit as good as I should be

Not Found

I open my mouth 
But no words come out
I can see their mouths moving
What is this proving?
Have I lost my hearing – seeing – anything worth living?
The hope of giving

I want to go 
But not so slow
My time is up
And with a thump
I hit the ground but not found

Bang Bang

Bang Bang – they hit the floor
Bang Bang – and out the door
Down the street – 
With a leap
Bang Bang – a life to an end
Bang Bang – with nothing to spend
Click Click – he is out
Click Click – with a shout
Thump Thump – to the ground
Thump Thump – with one last bound
Bang Bang – he lived a lie
Bang Bang – he didn’t have to die
