Without A Tree

A world without a Tree
Would be a World without me
It would be a World I wouldn't know
A place where beauty isn't shown.
Where dreams and rainbows are not made.
And every moment is a lifeless day.

A World without a Seed
Not being planted to grow a Tree
To shade the head from sun or rain
Or to stare at it's beauty everyday.
A Treeless life would be a darkened sky.
And would be as meaningless as a hopeless lie.

A world without a Tree
Would be a World without a Leaf,
Rainbow parks would all be gone
Along with the Children dancing on the lawn.
With songs of the birds no longer sung.
While colorful paintings no longer hung.

Moonlight

Moonlight and the stars are bright
Shinning down upon me
Look down and all around
And see what you can see,
Like the birds in the sky
Are the stars in the night
So please give me a smile
Before you must say goodbye,
So give me a twinkle
Or give me just a wink
Then please give me the answer
To the question that I think,
As the moon it is aglow
To a lover somewhere
Shining is the answer
And Love is fully aware.

Moonlight and the stars are bright
Softly as she comes
As though the angels are singing

Grain Of Sand

From every grain of sand
That falls from my hand
Through my fingers to the ground
To utter but not a sound,
For like a Human life
That pasted before my eyes
To be here and then be gone
Forgotten like yesterdays dawn.
For like a grain of sand
The Boy became a Man
Who cries tears of His fate,
For He knows for what Man did,
Is from what Man had made.
Though as being caught up in the air
And being blown to who knows where
For where we go, no man knows
And where we die, is where we lie.
We are all here a lifetime
As though it seems a long time
It is though, but a short time,

Howl

There is a hatred that's in my soul
I feel it strong in this world that I prowl
This anger and terror I must let go
So at the moon; I will howl, I will howl.
I will grit my teeth and shout in anger
When anyone tries to hurt or offend me
That is who I am and it makes me stronger
There is an animal that wants to be free.
Perspiration comes quickly to my head and face
So that hostility I remove it with soap and a towel
But that coming of anger I cannot erase
So at the moon; I will howl, I will howl.
I cannot control my ideals or a bad thought
The loathing of others I wish never was born
But being used and hurt I never had sought
As in my mind and soul that is a prickly thorn.
In disgust I walk with my two fists clinched
And when I speak it comes out in a growl
From my temper I run as though being pinched
So at the moon; I will howl, I will howl.

Why Is Everybody Fighting?

Why is everybody fighting
Don't they know that souls are crying
I wish that we all were reciting
Lets all be in love again.
I wish that they all did know
As sure as the flowers do grow
That someday it will be too late
I pray once again that it wont be hate.
So i say it with all my heart and soul
As I hope not to grow to old
Before again I hear the people laugh
Then I will make my final stance.
Tell me why that they do lie
And why they cause the tears for souls to cry
Though stuck in the middle with no return
Like a fire that's needing to burn.
As sure as the cold wind does blow
And as sure as the grass does grow
I pray again that it wont be haste
So tired of all of this senseless hate.

Your Rings

The rings you wore on your finger
Are now placed inside a very small box
Hidden away inside my dresser drawer
Hoping that someday they will be forgot.
They are the rings I had placed on your finger
Then after that, I took you by the hand
You were going to my woman forever
And also forever, I would be your man.
So I swore to all I would wear your ring
And I did that with a happiness and a pride
But then you took my rings off of your finger
Then inside my heart, a part of me just died.
As when I looked up, upon our table
I saw your rings and there they just lied
Abandoned too, they were just like me
And if they had tears I know they too would of cried.
So I took our rings and placed them together
Inside my dresser drawer inside a small box
So they can be together, for their forever
And from each other they will never be lost.

Inside My Heart

Inside my heart, I love you
With a love that shines so deep,
So I will say I will love you forever
And forever, your love I shall keep.
I will love you when I stand alone
I will love you like no one else
I will love you till the day I die
I will love you more than myself.

Inside my heart, there is only you
In my eyes, your all they see
So for you I will do all I can
And those words you can always believe.
I will give you all that I do own,
I will give you all that you do wish
I will give you all that you need
And all I ask, is a simple kiss.

Inside my heart, it beats alone
With a beat that only I can hear,

At My Side

Come sit by my side
My mate did say
So we can talk about things,
Before it is yesterday.
We can talk about us
We can talk about love
We can even talk about you
Or we can sit and smile.
If you would only come,
And sit for a while.
Lets forget about our worries
And our Child and work for one day
Lets think about us again
For time quickly passes away.
Come sit by my bed
My mate cried on
Because the more I think
The quicker time passes on.
What's the greatness of victory
If no one comes to see you win

Forever Young

As you and I walk into the park
We both enjoy nature and the sun
We stay untill it becomes very dark
And we are there, forever young.

We count the stars that's in the sky
As though for us they had been hung
The beauty of youth we can't deny
And we are there, forever young.

We both again are like newlyweds
Love in our heart has again been sung
By that beauty we both are led
And together we are, forever young.

We stroll home while holding hands
Our love for each other again has begun
We stare then at our wedding bands
As we are there, forever young.

Task

If I say that I can then I know that I will
Or I will do the best that I can
I will try to prevail, where others had fail
At the job or task that I had began.

The work that I do or the task I accept
It will become the job that must be done
It I will try to complete, as that of any job or feat
As I will always finish what I have begun.

I will not ignore the task that I have undertaken
It will become my objective and my pride
I will do my best, just like the rest
And from that work I shall never hide.

If I say that I can then I know that I must
As I have given my word and my oath
The task will be finished, my ethics replenished
And never will I brag or boast.
