A Dog's Passing

At times I feel so confused and wonder what to do. Standing at the door, in or out, out or in, is the sky so blue?
I walk the same old path, it was the highlight of my day but I didn’t make it, he had to carry me half the way. 
I woke up this morning feeling just so wrong but she made me feel better, her voice is like a song.   
Feeling all so tired but excited anyway when I heard him step thought the door, on this very day.
I noticed a tear in his eye and stood up just say” I love you so much, I wish we could go out and play”  
He helped me to lay back down and said it would be o.k.  
They both stay there, stroking my golden hair 
Even once or twice, said a little prayer.
As I close my eyes, I know I will be missed. 
Wishing I could give them both, one more little kiss.

Pulse

Even though they fell
They rose above
One by one, in unity and love
Into God’s arms, they were all accepted
Never again to be rejected

Second Hand Smoke

Iron lung life isn’t so bad
But I most admit, I’m a little bit mad
All those nights in the bars just a chok’in
To hell with this second hand smok’in
Now, I wish I had enjoyed just a drag
Marlboro, Winston, in England they’re Fags
Not one little puff have I ever tried
But thanks to second hand smoke
My lungs have been fried
Iron lung life isn’t so bad
Maybe I’m cool
It’s the upcoming fad

Father

Devils lurk inside my head
Making me wish that I was dead 
My father put them there 
With the images that he shared
Just enough to let them in 
Hard to believe he was my kin
I can forgive but never forget
Wished I could but there it sits

Three In a Bed

Three is just to many in a queen size bed
I just lay here watching as she snuggles him instead
Just don't understand it, I'm suppose to be her life
Feeling a little neglected, after all she is my wife
I thought nothing could be worse than having to eat kale
but I finally found it as she cuddles another male
So I'm going to tell her "This bed ain't made for three!"
but I guess there could be others, if you count the fleas

Past Gone By

Deep within my heart
There is a place I long to be
A place that’s filled with loving memories
A midnight kiss, a night of bliss
These are the things I truly miss
Waterfalls, music halls, watching little ones kick a ball
The time we walked a trail so long
Or when we danced to our favorite song
Simple words that beat so strong
I wish to be stuck like glue 
for my heart beats just for you

Dreams Lost

I woke up from a dream and realized it wasn’t true
I wished that it could have been, for she wouldn’t be so blue

In this dream I dreamt, she woke up happy and content
For not a day since we met, was there anything to resent

In all the time we’d been together, I’d never broke her heart
She woke up every morning with a smile from the start

I was always there to support her, I never let her down
On her beautiful face, you would never see a frown

But unfortunately, this was a dream, one that didn’t at all come true
That’s why we both lay here, feeling all so blue

Touch

There’s one thing I miss so much
And that the feeling of her touch
Every night we sit together 
But there one thing that would make better
If she’d just touch my hand
I’d once again feel like her man
