My love did sometimes wander,And my thoughts did often roam,From the one who held them dear,And gave my love a home.But I was young and restless,And my heart would long to play,Never thinking of the one I’d hurt,When my love would go astray.They say if you play with fire,You sometimes will get burned,And though the lessons were often hard,The lessons did get learned.For I know my heart belongs right here,With the one whos...

Of all the things we celebrate,There is one very special date,That special day when vows were said,Our special day when we were wed.Of you my love, I was so fond,To want to start a lasting bond,It was a sunny Saturday in May,That day we call our special day.I still recall your walk up the aisle,As you gave to me a secret smile,I could not help but feel so proud,The luckiest man in the crowd.As I stood and held your hand,I...

I sit at my computer desk trying to think,I pick up my coffee and start to drink,I've been up all day and into the night,Wracking my brain for something to write.Just sitting around all day at home,Hoping to write the next great tome,But my progress has been terribly slow,The words simply don't want to flow.I realize to reap the glory and wealth,My novel is not going to write itself,It's my own project, I understand,Thoug...

You're going through a lot right now,This truly is an ordeal,I can't begin to imagine your pain,Or how you really feel.I know how important your body is,And you're as beautiful as can be,And no matter what the future brings,You'll always be beautiful to me.I wish I could take away your pain,And make your body new,But I can only be there for you,To show my love for you.10-07-10.

Don't think I don't notice when you look my way,Just standing there, like you got something to say,Like a girl who's looking for someone new,Like a girl looking for something to do,And I heard the word that's going around town,That your last lover been putting you down,But, if you get with me it won't be long,Because I ain't gonna let you lead me along. Your heart's been broken and you're on the make,Heart's broken and yo...

I can't get action nowhereI can't get satisfaction nowhereJust rage and hate and shouting and crying,But it won't bring my brother back anyhow.Why? Tell me why,Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die?The police say it was a gang warThe neighbor says he was with the wrong whoreThe kids on the corner say it was a turf war.I just know I won't see him any more.Why? Tell me why,Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die?He was...

Never really did what my parents told me to,If they told me to take one I ended up takin' two.Teacher couldn't control me, couldn't hold me down,Instead of being in school I was cruisin the town.Learned to to make love before I could write my name,Never learned good English, but I talk just the same.Always gettin' high always feedin my head,People always sayin' I'd end up dead.They talked a lot of shit but I got something...

Faith, it’s a beautiful thing,That little word with the special ring,It’s faith in the things I cannot see,Like knowing my God is always with me,Faith that everything will turn out alright,That my days of darkness will lead into light,Faith that Jesus will take my hand,And guide me through things I don’t understand,That no matter where I roam, far and wide,My God will be there by my side,And until I’m home in Heaven above...

The Christmas holiday season has always been a memorable time of year. Whether it is time spent with family, those special gifts from a loved one, or simply the smell of Grandma's cooking, every Christmas has always had something worthy of remembrance. The story of the Christmas holiday which I am about to relate holds a special fondness. It happened many years ago when I was still a single guy in my twenties. One of the...

Party favors do not a party make,Nor that fancy bakery cake,It's not the table set so fine,Nor that bottle of expensive wine,Not china set on polished wood,Or gourmet food that tastes so good. What matters is the people gathered there,Family and friends you know who care,With whom you can share a laugh and a smile,It's what truly makes life worthwhile,For with time spent with loved ones you can be sure,Of cherished memori...

I guess I really can’t blame them.How could they be expected to know the truth,When all they see is some well-rehearsed smile,That I have been putting on in the morning,Like a clean shirt.I think I have it down to a science,I’ve been doing it for so long.I’ve polished my act to where I almost fool myself sometimes,Yet at times the sadness slips through to the world.My mother asked me the other day if I was doing drugs aga...

When life hands you so much sorrow and pain,And takes so much with little to gain,You're like a train that somehow left the track,Can we ever get the good times back?Do you recall when the world was so new?And there seemed no limit to what we could do,Harking back to those simpler times,Of children's books and nursery rhymes.Can you remember those simple joys?Childhood dreams and children's toys,How did we ever lose our w...

The making of a dirty martini is truly an art,Vodka and vermouth are merely a start,But follow my advice and you can depend,On achieving perfection in the end.First the martini glasses should be filled,With a little ice to ensure they're chilled,Your next step as the martini maker,Is to put some ice in the shaker.Next pour in the vodka, a premium kind,For the perfect martini, use the best you can find,Just a dash of vermo...

People often pass through our lives,And so many have come my way,Some stay for a lifetime,Others just for a day.Yet others last just for a season,And then they must move on,The one that touched my heart,Has now come and gone.Though I knew you had to leave,You could only stay a while,I got to know your loving ways,And ever-present smile.Summertime girl I thank you,For a summer filled with fun,Nights so filled with passion,...

Went to a casino the other day,A game of hold 'em I was hopin' to play,Entered the poker room and looked around,Found me a seat and sat right down.As I laid down my chips and started to play,I hoped that luck would come my way,For a while the cards were running cold,Most of my moves were check and fold.As the game continued on,I realized half my chips were gone,But before it could go from bad to worse,I saw my luck was ab...
