As a little girl
Her dreams that made up her world
Once upon a time
Made these characters sublime
Princesses and fairies
Made life so merry
Dragons and monsters
Would be her nighttime haunters
As she grew to into a woman
Dreams of life and love
Of a knight in shining armour
One who would be one day her charmer
Knowing one day her prince would come from afar
Wishing upon a star
She found her one true love
Sent from God and heaven above
Written for my daughters.

“Burning Like A Flame”
And now we’ve stood the test of time
We survived
I asked for hope and a chance
You gave the key to your heart
You used to say that I’m not sincere
I’m gonna prove that you’re wrong
I’m never gonna leave your arms
Should’ve realized before
Your love’s worth waiting for
Don’t you know that
It’s our love that’s burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It’s out love that’s never gonna change
‘Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don’t you know that
It’s our love that’s burning
Our love burning like a flame
Like a fantasy in the dark
You were gone
I couldn’t say the words
That you wanted to hear
But baby, now that I see the light
I feel it’s burning so bright
So let’s stop wasting all this time
Should’ve seen it all before
Our love’s worth waiting for
Don’t you know that
It’s our love that’s burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It’s out love that’s never gonna change
‘Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don’t you know that
It’s our love that’s burning
Our love burning like a flame
Should’ve seen it all before
Your love’s worth waiting for
Don’t you know that
It’s our love that’s burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It’s out love that’s never gonna change
‘Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don’t you know that
It’s our love that’s burning
Our love burning like a flame
Our love, never gonna change
To me this is the greatest guitar intro of all time. Love this song and the guitars in it are amazing. This is classic Southern Rock and Guitar Rock. Enjoy
What a difference a year makes
Just twelve short months ago we were as far apart as the earth and the moon
Both hidden inside ourselves
Ready for it all to end
A love we thought built to last
A union of two coming to past
Miracles we soon learned do exist
At a bottom, our relationship did almost land
But two hearts were taken in hand
A hand of God placed upon us
Light of the world shown into our lives
Rising out of that dark place we had settled
Day by day we learned to love one another
A truer more deeper love than we had known before
Doubts were always on the horizon, challenges still lay in our path
Fighting for what we had begun so many years ago had just begun
Good days and bad, we made it through
Now ahead lays the biggest challenge we will face
Just know that my heart burns only for you
You are my love, my life, my one true bright shining star
Just twelve short months ago, I know it would have ended in ruins
But know now my heart and soul rests with you and yours with me
Wherever I go, here my heart will be
A future of brightness we have ahead
Adventures and journeys together we shall share
Know my love for you knows no bounds
No height, no depth will keep me from being around
For what a difference a year makes between us

Just an update for everyone out there in Bloggerland. I haven’t really had much chance to write much and when I do my brain has been going on overdrive. I am in the midst of a huge change in my life which I am both excited about and a bit scared about. The where I will be going is mostly figured out, just a lot of unknown still ahead. I ask prayer for my way ahead for not only myself, but my family. I won’t say too much about what it is right now, but I will give a hint that the name of my blog is a good give away. Hopefully my brain will settle down and let me get back to writing. I tried the other day and it felt like my head was going to explode. I hope to try to catch up on reading many of your blogs soon. Of course on top of this all I have been working long hours in my current position due to the bad weather that has hampered our state over the past week. I hope for the best for all of you out there. I pray for safety and health for you all. Stay in touch and I hope to reenter this family of bloggers soon.
Saw Queensryche back in 1992 at the Cow Palace in San Jose. It was their Operation Mindcrime tour and it was incredible. Geoff Tate has an incredible voice and they are an electric group in concert. I was about 6 feet from the stage and it was a packed house. When I was in Iraq in 2011 they were at my base doing a USO tour and I was excited about maybe getting the chance to see them again. Of course mission came first and I couldn’t go. Enjoy the amazing vocals and power of this song.
The Clash, was an amazing band that was my first jump into the world of Punk Rock. I was a young kid in middle school just learning my way into music and with the advent of Mtv I was introduced into the world of The Clash….
Once Upon a Time
When I thought the world was all mine
So many opportunities in front of me
What would I grow up to be
A doctor, a lawyer, a farmer, a fast-food worker
Off to college I went to find my order
Enjoyed the time I spent at school
Often times getting drunker than a fool
I knew after a while that this was not for me
So I knew then what I would become
For my lifes outcome
The course that I chose as I grew older
Was for me to become a soldier
One of the funniest movies of all times. Reminds me of my college days.
How do you heal a hurt
A pain that is ever present
Knowing that what causes it will never go away
How do you fix an injury to the soul
A deep scar that is always there
Flaring up when they are least aware
Sometimes a hug or a word are enough of a salve
To put out the fire of that deep painful ache
How do you help the one you love
Whatever the solution I have yet to find
But I will never stop until the end of time
