The wind blows briskly across the pasture
Trees swaying to and fro
A night made to avoid disaster
The moon above brings and enlightened glow
A chill in the air felt to the bone
Wrapping its self all around
A white cover over the trees has been sewn
As a new fallen snow covers the world

Upon a journey he had never experienced
Never before had he believed possible
Against all probability
Along roads that had seen nothing but rejection
Many routes he did follow all ended in near destruction
Finally, a path found that led him to the edge of forever
He stumbled along that razor thin ridge line
Scared that this might end in his final decline
When all hope was thought lost
Over the edge he tossed
Unto forever his heart found a home
And into a place it was meant to roam

Behind the veil
Something is hidden beyond your reach
To describe it would be such a tale
Strangeness of your thoughts forever beseeched
Telling you the story of what could be
Hidden behind your mind’s smokescreen
So outlandish to one who would see
Because it’s still left to the order of things unseen
Leaving you to ever ponder what your mind has imagined
Sitting behind that veil

As the darkness of night fades away
Before the brightness of the coming day
She sits upon a bed made for two
Another night she has made it through
Counting each moment, they are apart
Her heart was his from the very start
Knowing that the time grows short
The words of his love upon which she finds support
Upon this morn she finds no jolly
It is nothing but another misty morning melancholy

The silence abounds all around me
Only the quiet clacking of my keyboard tapping
Thoughts and visions of her face is what I see
Her love is what keeps my mind from snapping
The days they pass by in slow haze
Waiting upon this ending so I can start a new beginning
Trying to fight this deadly malaise
Until then my thoughts inside my head keep spinning
For she is my light in the dark
Upon her soul I take hold
Waiting for the journey of life with her to embark
Next to her is where I want to be as I grow old

Upon a rash decision in my life
Things nearly came undone
I left my family in strife
Thinking to myself what have I done
Took a path that led me away
Wished upon an unlikely outcome
It led me down a darkened highway
Leaving my mind and body numb
Luckily for me I have an angel in my life
Someone who loves me even though I’ve caused nothing but strife
She is my foundation and my rock
Into her arms is where I will always go back
Upon her my love pours out
Together forever we will be no doubt

Mistakes I have made
Errors in thought so grave
Anger an enemy of mine
Loneliness is such a crime
Regret for my past sins
Hope for our future ahead
Please forgive me for being insecure
For my true heart beats for you so pure
Each day I wake, I look to the sky and pray
I will be back to you soon one day
Brings me one day closer back to your arms
Where in your heart glows a love so warm

A look into your eyes
Makes my heart a flutter
A light of a glorious sunrise
I melt in your gaze like butter
I pray it never ceases
Or I would fall to pieces
Your look of splendor
All my love I surrender

Once upon a time not long ago
There was a young prince who only knew heartache
Along came a fair princess who stole his heart away
Upon this romance was formed a bond
Two hearts merged into one
A young fair princess was born of this love
Beautiful and full of life was she was a gift from up above
Such a joy this girl grew to be
A jewel to her father of immeasurable worth was she
As the years passed by, a joy to all she knew
Soon out into the world she flew
Seeking forth her calling she venture
A young man’s eye she did catch while on her adventure
Swooning to his voice and looks did she fall
For this fine young gentleman did call
Soon upon the castle’s gates
A question of forever did they seal their fates
Under a tree did he bow
With his love forever did he vow
The King and the Queen so approved
Upon a journey did the young princess and her prince did move
Two hearts merged into one
From this love did emerge the most precious gift of all
A young prince so small
The King and Queen did delight
At such a wonderous sight
Out of a love long ago
This family has continued to grow
Dedicated to my wife who is the rock of our family and to my daughter and her husband who graced us with our first grandson.
