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

Riding on the tails of stars
Heading to distant giant quasars
Flying beyond the regions
Once only seen by God’s own legions
Passing beyond the Milky Way
Beyond the known light of day
Moving so fast I go beyond
Faster than the speed of sound
Past planets, asteroids and comets flying by
Into areas only seen by the Creator’s own eyes
A journey up into the heavens
I can feel myself among his very presence

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

For my wife ~M my inspiration.
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
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

Happy 4th of July… A beautiful version of this song. Happy Independence Day America…
Upon a dream I wait
Voices in my head drive my doubt
Telling me it will never happen
Why do you believe you deserve this outcome
Trying to push them out
Anxiety takes hold
I try to stay bold
My heart says all will be as willed
Upon peace it shall be filled
Agonizing over the ticking of the clock
Pushing against a giant rock
Knowing that God is at work
Upon his path I shall wait
Not easy to stand still within the storm
Praying that word shall come down soon
Waiting like a cowboy for high noon

What do you do when time stands still
Unsure of the steps that will take you forward
Not wanting to take any back
Caught in the middle of a wasteland
Anxiousness can be overbearing
Wanting to move ahead
Time however moves onward like molasses
Patience is a virtue they say
Wishing I could stay patient awaiting the next day
So Lord I wait upon your word
To send me unto the path designed by your hand for me

Upon a path we each walk
Hoping to be on a solid bedrock
Often our path gets muddy with pitfalls along its course
Looking to not get stuck in remorse
How we get through those patches of pain
Without getting stained
Is how we build character and fortitude
An inner strength we will exude
But how do we conquer those traps that we cannot escape
Who can you turn to keep you in shape
There is one we can place our hope and trust in
The Lord our God who is our savior

Tell me what the sound a cloud makes
Let me know what it takes
To find where it begins and where it ends
What that journey they make intends
As I watch them pass me by
Wishing to myself I could fly
Free as they float across the sky
Seeing all that lies below
Oh how I wish I could go
Over the trees and above the mountains
A soul set free to see all of God’s creation below
