The Number

if i could count the number of tears
i have cried for you over the years
it  would probably be in the millions
maybe even in the billions
please dont get me wrong
my life goes on because i am strong
somedays i even have a good day
and think maybe i know my way
but deep inside i will always feel alone
because a big part of my life is gone
there is no number that goes that high
because if there was it would touch the sky

My Daddy Is a Soldier

he stood up in front of his class 
and said  my daddy  is a soldier  
he looked so much older than a boy of five
he seemed wise beyond his years
as he tried to fight back the tears
i kow today is fathers day
but my daddy could not be here today
because he is at a far away land
and i  wish he could be here to hold my hand
mommy said if i pray real hard 
he might come home soon
so every night i look up at the stars and moon
and i pray as hard as i can
because today is fathers day and my dad is a real
good man

From His Point of View

i saw the headlights but i was very  brave
 i knew my life i could not save
but my last thoughts were of you
and our baby girl  nicole to

she watches from her play pen as you scream an cry
you hold her an try to tell her
but she doesnt understand the word die

in just 2 days she will turn 1 
and you have to try and explain why daddys life is done

i watch from heaven and theres nothing i can do
just sit back and hope both of your dreams come true

when you tell her about her daddy
 please tell her my very last thoughts were of you
and my  wonderful  baby girl named nicole to

i saw the headlghts but i was brave
i knew my life i could not save

Dont Cry

please dont cry for me 
because heaven is where i want to be
i do not know your fate
still i will wait by heavens gate

be proud of yourself because thru the years
you have over came your fears

dont be afraid to give 
because you only have this 1 life to live

as you walk lifes miles try to smile
thru the trials

as you live  thru the years you will cry a lot of tears
please dont cry for me because
when you reach heaven i will be the first person you  will see
dont cry for me

Billy

we were best friends 
that is something i thought would never end
this is only a poem so how do i describe the casket?
or white  roses in a basket?
i write for you because there is nothing else i can do
i know i dont write as good as i should
and i would if i could
sometimes i wanna scream because life is just a bad dream
but still bily i write for you


will love  and miss you forever
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

My Prayer

GOD  they say when it rains that is you crying
please look down on me and see how hard i am trying
i know i have no   right  to ask you for the things i do
i should not get angry when some of my dreams dont come true
i know your really busy
but sometimes this spinning world makes me dizzy
i try real hard to hold on
but you can only hold on so long
look down on me for just one minute 
show me all the reasons i should be in it
my life is not that bad compared to some of my fellow sisters and brothers 
but not that great compared to some others
please look down

I............

i dont write for all the world to see
i just write for me
some times guilt can be like a heavy quilt
some times blame can be the cause of pain
the pain can make you feel numb
and you need to find a place to run
some times the day light can be much to bright
and you spend your time waiting for night 
i know it sounds insane
but i wish it would rain
then people could not see the tears i cry
and keep asking me why
