Silence

                                          Gallant Choice

You gave me up for adoption when I was born, because of your issues not having a job or stable home. After all these years have passed me by ... I find myself searching to find you, know you, thank you or just to say hi ! I shall love and forgive you mom with each beat of my heart, with every breath of life I take untill our dying day. I owe everything I am today to the sacrifice and gallant choice you made ... ...

                                    Tears Towards Heaven

Youth in anxious moments mistakes overtake, a speeding car, booze, cancer from smoking cigarettes, drugs, scuffles, violent fights, misspoken words, a broken romance, a jealous love, their short future left unswept. Sad are the seconds, minutes, hours, days, years that must be wept. Promises made for a lifetime with prayers mingled in tears towards heaven must be sent, life in short moments of pleasure has no rest ... for we as parents with our memories to weep are left ... ...

                                         Never Alone

Oh heart ! still beating proudly within me, impound lovers from our flings of love. Let me feel within my entire body the ecstasy of lovemaking, their every heartbeat, kisses and hugs ... pretty faces and moonlight walks, as I tremble and quiver, I'm never alone, I'm never alone ... ...

                                       Clouds Between Birds

Courage does not know vivid loneliness, while love suffers the illusions of fear,or the mountain heights where bitter love can hear the sound of our kiss as I hold you near. Nor the softness of our caress that like a stream towards the sea quietly disappears. Love is a gesture spread across the sky by lovers who see clouds between birds learning how to fly.

                                   I Should Have Married You

Missing the chance of a lifetime, I spend time looking for a spouse. Searching in lonesome corners along the avenue wishing you were by my side. Time keeps passing by, girls have come and gone, not one has filled your shoes. Searching in lonesome corners after a heartbreak or two alone along the avenue ... it all comes back to me ... I should have married you.

                                               Hard Times

A mortgage left unpaid, surmounting bills never seem to go away, bill collector letters ... reminders that we must pay. Utility companies with their constant threat to disconnect. Uncle Sam and his taxes how could one forget ? Treating us as if we've committed a crime .. as we implore into deaf ears we've just stumbled upon some hard times ... ...

                                                By Your Side

I've watched your body go from 168 to 95, as you deteriorate before my very own eyes ... I've always known you to be healthy and strong, soothing all our worries right or wrong ... when the chips were down or the score was tied, you'll step to the plate and deliver a home run  with food on the table and a stable home. I'll always be by your side dad, as you were for me ... on the day I was born.
