By request of my wonderful wife. Such a powerful video and song. Hope you enjoy your weekly #TuesdayTunes.
life
Changes
Today marks an end
Having to say goodbye to so many friends
A change in life
Can bring so much strife
Uncertainties abound
Clarity often not found
Praying each day
That God will lead my way
An end to a chapter
One that was full of tears and laughter
A new journey I start
Following the call within my heart
A new road ahead
On wings of an eagle I am led

You and Me
Leather and Lace
A look of excitement on my face
Fluttering eyes
Makes my heart want to fly
The feel of your touch
Brings me goose bumps and such
The whisper in my ear
Words spoken that I love to hear
Lying next to you
Is all I want to do

Sorry……
Pain Pain Pain
Is all I ever give you
Sadness Sadness Sadness
Is all I ever put into your life
All I have ever done is bring tears to your eyes
Depression, Despair and Defeat
What I have only provided from my actions
Taking a stake to your heart
Is what I have done since the start
Why do you put up with me still
Bringing you sadness and tears
Fulfilling all your fears
All I can say is taking steps forward are scary
When there is so much to be weary
But to you I make this vow
No matter where I go or where I am
I take you with me wherever I go
Always today, tomorrow and forever
Words of a Writer
Places, people and imaginary creatures
Pink tutu ballerinas dancing in the bleachers
Clouds lazily move across skies of unimaginable colors
Two lovers express words brought to life in Technicolor
Amazing lands full of magic and wonder
Pirates raiding the high seas for plunder
Vampires and werewolves full of sex appeal
People praying to God with full zeal
So many things come from her head
Written down with paper and a pen
Like a sword it strikes blows that pierce your heart
Words that make a pictures like a painter does to art
She amazes me with each word she writes
Talent never-ending like a satellite roaming across a dark night

#TuesdayTunes – Staind – “It’s Been Awhile”
I heard this song the other day and the lyrics just hit me hard. I can relate to some of it. So powerful and hits you right in the gut. Listen and read the lyrics below. Enjoy….
“It’s Been A While”
And it’s been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it’s been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it’s been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it’s been awhile
Since I could call you
Since I could hold my head up high
And it’s been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it’s been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it’s been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can’t remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I’ve rendered
I’ve stretched myself beyond my means
And it’s been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn’t addicted
And it’s been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it’s been awhile
Since I’ve gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it’s been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I’m with you
And everything I can’t remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I’ve rendered
I’ve gone and fucked things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!
And it’s been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it’s been awhile
Since I said I’m sorry
And it’s been awhile
Since I’ve seen the way the candles light your face
And it’s been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can’t remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it’s me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it’s been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it’s been awhile
Since I said I’m sorry
Once Upon a Time
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.

What a Difference a Year Makes
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

Hello Out There It’s Me!
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.
#TuesdayTunes – The Clash “Should I Stay or Should I Go”
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….
