A friend is there for all you need  In both the good times and the bad. A friend is the one you go to  whether you're happy or you're sad A friend will be the one that loves you  no matter what that day has brung A friend brings the lyrics to music from the song that's not been sung A friend will hold you close to them  drying your tears and listen to your fears A friend is the one that will be there  through many many ye...

If I had the power to take the pain away from you, this is something that I so willingly would do;It'd be gone in just a moment with a single prayer filled thought;You'd finally find some peace and not be so distraught;I know I can't have my wish granted anytime today;So, I'll gently hold you in my heart as I bow my head and pray;Please keep in mind, my friend, that I'll be right here for you; No matter what the situation...

When I think about what we'd have in store if we took our friendship and built on one step more; The possibilities are endless of what you and I could be,together as a couple, companions, faithfully; We'd begin with understanding, gentle patience, tender care;Take it day by day and let it grow from there;  We'd learn about each other, of our faults and fine points, too; being fair and open minded if we had different point...

Gloomy day again,A black cloudySaturday afternoonFor this old lady.You're a good friend andI thank you for the friendship,You have bestowed upon meWhen I needed it the most.Age really doesn't countFor all I know you areOlder than I am whenIt comes to maturity.You shine upon meWhen my days are reallyAt the most melancholic And depressing days.You made me laughEven if I really wanted to cry.You made me see thingsIn a very d...

As you go through life you'll have your ups and downs; You'll know who your true friends are by who remains around;There are some who are with you when the sun is shining bright; But at the first sign of dark clouds they disappear from sight;  It's when the times are roughest and the path is far from clear; That those who stay beside you are those you hold most dear; To those who have been with you through the thick and t...

==========================I’m writing a bookAll about meAnd my successInside tragedyThat’s how othersPerceive my realityThey offer me pityI do not want nor needSenseless SympathyShould you choose to readDo not feel sorry for meDo not shed a tearI’m happy to be meDancing the border of insanityA door has been openedYou get what is behindI have told this storyWith tequila and limesI forgot all the detailsAdded beats and rhym...

Luckily, I have you The Rabbit’s ticking clockTumbling in the darkI thought this was a park?And there you are I wish you were hereLaughing without fearEverything calm and clearWe’ll go to the bar I love all...

Late night chatsWondering where you're atOh look, there you areWe hate being too farEven in busy wild timesOur friendship is mineYou've kept me out of the holeMr Rabbit needs a new roleLet's throw away the clock'sNot needing to know, let's rockYou drive north, I'll drive southWe'll meet, I'll flap my mouthTopics, all we can discussI promise you I'll make a fussAdmiring all, mostly your eyesIf I get to see them, I know I'l...

Sitting here afraid to lose control and I am being called out on many fronts it seems, and seems I have wasted both breath and time, all while it feels as if I am thinking myself to death. Having been born without the current fear felt, and the only thought that seems clear; is I need to move and need to fight. Feels as if anything I say is from something I seem to have read, and been doing my thinking with my heart inste...

We both want, an old-fashioned, wide-screen, Technicolor epic romance, a real Bogie and Bacall number. Instead, what we got that night was two old friends so smashed they started making out at a levee party.  "What in the world were you dreaming about, lady?" Amy Marshall opened her green eyes, pushed back her floppy straw hat, and looked up at Mark Cahill, her life-long friend, the man she’d just been dreaming about. "No...

I open my mouth Sounds spill out Thoughts form words But my feelings are not heard You yell and scream I try to explain but face defeat You cannot see what I see Refuse to stop and hear me You point accusingly And hurl accusations at me I try to find ways to make you see But it just gets ugly You are mad, you are done  I feel the sting as my tears come But you don't care  You turn away, leaving me there I guess our love w...

For Friendship or LovePirate saw a little lamb, her fleece as dark as coal The hat she wore There in her door In heart so full of soulThe question stands, to this old man, will lamb enjoy this rhyme A dove so sweet That I should meet A child out of timeIn days of old, or so I'm told, I'd bare my heart and soul For want of lamb for that I am To make my life her goalThis flower I see, if it could be, would warm this heart a...

Be happy You command I try to smile I play pretend Be normal You order  I try to do it But it's not easy You want pretty I don make up You want funny I learn jokes You want support I lend an ear You want time I give all of mine You want aid I rush to your side But you want  And you want But I am just me I am not perfect  As you want me You accuse  I say sorry  You shame  I take the blame But I shall remain Faithfully your...

I try so hard I give it my best I try to please you I give you all you request But you are so loud  And so very self focused You are easily offended You think I talk to much You feel I don't act right You hold it over me Day and night My every action is observed I try to be perfect But you always seem perturbed I want you to love me Or like me at least But you push me away There are others who come first I try to understa...

Let’s pretend it’s not your birthday and I wrote this anyway, just because. You said you want nothing done and we both know that will leave nothing undone. You are also stealing my fun on this one. I promised to do nothing for your not so special day, but I hope this little note will be okay. I have so much to say, but of course, the words won’t come my way….Let’s just say, if I were allowed to sing Happy Birthday, I’d si...
