Anything For You

I'd do anything for you
even stop the rollin' thunder underneath stormy skies

I'd never ask you questions
until death do us apart, and we must ask why

For we must grow closer with every day that passes by
just lay your head on me and cry

No one could ever stop us
if we rely on our trust to make this crazy world go 'round

and nothing in all Eternity
could ever even stop me, not even the fiery gates of hell

for love is not stoppable, let's let love do the impossible in our lives
and keep us close every day

remembering that love is the way

because friends like us should be there Forever
just the way that married lovers 'I do'
and we should be there for worse or for better
so just hold me close and tell me we'll get through

because friends like us should be there Forever
just the way that married lovers 'I do'
and we should be there for worse or for better
just hold me close and tell me "I love you"

and remember I'd do anything for you

How Many Guys Want to be Me?

Any fellas in here want to be me? I’ve fought hard for being right and helped those in need. I’ve tried to pitch in and help lots of folks. I’ve reached out in my own ways and I’ve told lots of jokes. I’ve been a good friend. I haven’t forgotten that which I said I wouldn’t. I’ve gotten up over and over again, even when it seems I couldn’t. I have seen and done some really great things. I hope God knows I’m sorry for my sins

I’m strong and willing, and easy to talk to. I wasn’t the type of weakling who couldn’t say “I love you”. I’ve got a beautiful wife and perfectly flawed children. We’ve been lots of places and even gotten us out of ones we shouldn’t be in. I can make people laugh even though I’ve made a few cry. I have knowledge to finish a question before my kids ask why. I have cried at a child’s birth and still can change oil in the car. I have kept my family grounded to good memories, but have let them go far.

We saw different viewpoints, often, tearing at our bonds. As we all know I’m so sorry for all of the wrongs. I’ve made lots of mistakes not able to fix them all. I have asked for forgiveness and cried in front of the pictures in the hall. I have watched you grow up and helped you to stand. I’ll always try, sometimes unsuccessfully, to give you a hand. Resources were yours, sometimes little, sometimes much. I know you know I don’t do it well, but you do know my touch.

Daddies little kids, Dads gorgeous wife, a father’s home, all with rightful pride. I just wanted you fellas to know, I know how blessed I am before I died. So how many guys here want to be me? It don’t matter, I was the one God gave so many memories

What Of It?

What of a dreamer if he dreams no more?

Does he die or just awake?

What of building unbreakable walls?

Will it ever heal the real heartache?

What of Angels of Mercy if they can’t even fly?

Isn’t it fair to let some of the hurt die?

What of a Freedom if it takes the life of the freed man,

for when have dead men said, "ha, see I can!"

What of Wealth and Power, Money, Holiness, or Pride,

since to get them you stole, killed, or lied?
What of promises of Forever Love and commitment told,

when all someone wanted was the warmth of a momentary hold?

What of Guilt and Tears if we only leave them for a time,

but can't ever seem to leave them totally behind?
What of sunshine after stormy days and still a hell on this earth?
Why do we cry at a Death and celebrate a Birth?

What of you reading this thing and feeling the way I feel?
What of it since to me you're not even really real?
So many Enigma's to ponder ‘til life seems done,
Why? That question there is just another one.

Real Love

Teardrops of sadness cascade into the hug you’ve needed so bad

He isn’t here so your worries can leave, because I’m not ever going to get mad

Mistakes can be fixed enough to try at love again on down the road

These memories are a dime a dozen, so he will disappear like frost on the window

Sometimes we all have to be hurt to remember how good real love is

Like all those times our friendship has given us true happiness

Since I can console you in this time of pain I’ll do so completely

I am honestly concerned with your love and where it’s going to be

I’m willing to be here till I see you smile again

And even love you enough to share your feelings

So you can fall asleep in my arms and let your fears melt away

I’ll run my fingers through your hair till the light of day

And all the pain is gone

Even then, my commitment to your tomorrow will stay

A playground full of years of tears gives me the right to care for you

And times spent leaning on your shoulders says you deserve me to be true

From what I hear he said goodbye to your perfect love and devotion

May God forgive him for not even caring about your sweet emotions

I’ve cast all my endeavors aside to be here for you now

And I have faith that together we can make it through this somehow

You have to promise me you won’t give up on either of us and quit

I have too much interest in you not to give you what I have to give

Like Shai I’ll be your comforter, like a father my arms are for holding

My everything is yours, my life is on hold, for your precious heart is broken

I’m willing to be here till I see you smile again

And even love you enough to share your feelings

So you can fall asleep in my arms and let your fears melt away

I’ll run my fingers through your hair till the light of day

And all the pain is gone

Even then, my commitment to your tomorrow will stay

Till our lives touch no more and we realize genuine friendship has fallen

How could love be so cruel

And let the innocents play the fools

Till our lives touch no more and we both know all love is over

But even then we’ll have each other to commune of

And finally you can say you had a real love

I’m willing to be here till I see you smile again

And even love you enough to share your feelings

So you can fall asleep in my arms and let your fears melt away

I’ll run my fingers through your hair till the light of day

And all the pain is gone

Even then, my commitment to your tomorrow will stay

I Will Still Deliver

I have heard & hear others say still that the road was too treacherous & seemingly impassable, the wind too strong, the mountains too steep, the ups & downs of the most annoying of hills so persistent & unending that gears had too change too often, too hot, too cold, in areas too dark to know, that it just felt too unsafe at times, that the load was just too much to bear, the timing wasn't right & the feeling of being totally alone set in way too often...& I wonder if we are talking about trucking or life...

...either way, I will still deliver.

Loves Every Argument

I can never love again... you can and it will be me

I trust no one anymore... I am trustworthy

no one understands me... I do

I am hopeless... I am hope

you don't know what I'm feeling... try me and see

I haven't got anymore dreams... I'll be your Dreamer

I have feelings for you but... accept them

my past has confused me so much... we'll figure it out

How do you love?... I can

what is love?... what I have to give to you

when will everything be OK?... whenever you take me in

I can't... you can

I'm scared... I'm not

why? why all this?... it doesn't matter

I won't allow myself to love... I love you

I'll only get hurt again... I love you

but every time... I love you

I... I love you

you make it sound so easy... it is

you... I love you

we... I love you

I... I love you

I love... I love you

I love you... I know

I really love you... I love you, too

My Phenomenal Love

I feel weak from my long day

I've tried so hard to hold my head up and the problems at bay

I've seen the light shine in your eyes and I'd love to see it again

and I need to feel the hug light up my life, my friend

I need to hold a little more until the past is a faded memory

Touch you like you need me to, not just for me

I've seen the night past dinner and I can run a hot bath for you or us

Love me again like you once thought you must

Remember I'd still die to give you the world

For not what you do, but for who you are, my phenomenal love

My personal devotion was at ib's end

I'd try to ask forgiveness but I never could make my knees bend

We could be Romeo and Juliet or Mr. and Mrs. together

All I need is to feel the care and know you'll be here forever

All intertwined and embracing faults as they arise

Why does it seem Gods not hearing my cries?

My tears were lonely and my body ached for everything you were

and now I've given all and a miracle occurs

I was able for just a moment to be loved by her

and I'm just thankful we were one, my phenomenal love

Say Yes

I know how many firsts lie in front of you and I want them all to be with me

So many things I can tell you and share now that then I couldn't without letting ghosts free

Forgetting the sadness I knew before you. Truthfully, I could not even see any light

Now the only darkness I ever seem to see is after I’ve taken you home and said good night

Every time I ask you for just one more time I cannot look you in the eye

Because my heart would break on your “no” and I wouldn’t want you to see me cry

So do you want this, that, or the other

Would it be so bad to be my child’s mother

(so) if you'd be my wife, until the end of my life

Say yes

Timing might be everything to some people, but I can't wait until the perfect time

Because you're on my thoughts every second, every day, and I have to know if you'll be mine

If I could hold your heart forever, I'd die for even the chance

I’ve tried to love you since we were just friends, would you consider chancing the dance

So do you want this, that, or the other

Would it be so bad to be my child’s mother

(so) if you'd be my wife, until the end of my life

Say yes

Now I know the days of our way may grow weary

All of our hurts and pain making it teary

(but) if you think it's right to be in my life

Say yes

(Bridge)

Now every time I ask you for just one more time I cannot look you in the eye

Because my heart would break on your “no”, so say yes or my soul would just die

So do you want this, that, or the other

Would it be so bad to be my child’s mother

(so) if you'd be my wife, until the end of my life

Say yes

Now I know the days of our way may grow weary

All of our hurts and pain making it teary

(but) if you think it's right to be in my life

Say yes

If you think it's right to be in my life

Say yes

Love in Life

I hold but the best of a thousand of Heavens angels when I have you in my arms

I can see how much brighter our future is as I smell you hair each morning

We aren’t made to go on without giving more of each to one another

Though troubles come without warning

I feel the loneliness creep back into our hearts as we lie separate from each other

It torments my mind the inability to say “How are you?” on this weary, dreary day

If only I could shout “I Love you!” every moment I am awake

But in weakness I cannot find a way

But, of course, my love lies under it all, waiting to be beckoned for

And many wishes whispered each second hope and pray you want me still

As for problems the world has, let us give them back to that world we left behind

You know, when and where we said, “Sure, I will.”

The Beautiful

She moves about in ways amazing

Unfathomably without ceasing

Seemingly without reason,

But yet driven to the days end

To finish the tasks at hand

While working still towards tomorrows duties

Just to do it all again

And love doing it

And with love does it

She stands there holding my child

The littlest one

Faithful of her ability to hold them indefinitely

Forever, as they know

Forever in her heart and memories

Forever in my mind

And always in my heart

She sits there with no idea the affect she has

On all of me

I smile, I blink slowly

I want to be in our warm bed with her

And still not move from this moment

Wanting just to gaze upon her

Without her looking back into my boyish stare and ask,

“what?”

To which I should say “I love you”

But never do, enough

Momma, Why You Crying?

Life must have scared you, looking down at me

Faced with a life full of family

But through that fear you showed love to me

And of course I haven’t been the best I could be

But I’d do anything for you now

So please forgive me for making your heart bleed

Momma, why you crying?

Caring, listening, and dreaming my dreams

When you could have had your own instead

And it seemed you never stopping to think about yourself

Until after I was in bed

Momma, don’t cry anymore

Look up and see the man who should have treated you like a queen

But is just now beginning to understand

Knowing how you felt about my choices

I still always heard the love in your voice

A voice like an angel in all the hard times

Soothing words saying everything would come out fine

Now I know you must have had dreams of your own

And fears of someday being all alone

Momma, why you crying?

Getting hurt by letting the little boy/girl grow

Then let the man suddenly before you go

Allow the "sweetest boy in the whole wide world"

Make their mistakes, thinking they know

Momma, don’t cry anymore

Look up and see the man who should have treated you like a queen

But is just now beginning to understand

Of all the rules, relationships, and heart I broke

Just growing up, acting so tough

None can ever touch the pain you probably still feel

From not hearing “thank you, mom” enough

Momma, don’t cry anymore

Look up and see the man who should have treated you like a queen

But is just now beginning to understand

Momma, don’t cry anymore

What Will It Be Today

What are they doing with that old farm machine?

Well, it may be the office of a great kids magazine

It may be a spy gadget with hidden microchips

Or an ancient mystic dragon offering flying friendship

It may be a spacecraft with big dangers ahead

Or some robotic hero making bad guys all dead

It may be the baby of a future mechanical race

Or traveling contraption that goes anytime, anyplace

It may be a stealthy World War 2 submarine

What will it be today, that old farm machine?

Some, Between You and Me

Somewhere between you and me there is a place

Our love can grow to immeasurable end

Where we shall come to know the true meaning of friend

Someplace between you and me is a sea of passion and tranquility only we can drown in

Just as your beauty and love has pulled me deep within

Sometime between you and me we shall see Eternity

Reaching out to take us both into Forever

For neither Heaven nor Hell shall have us but together

Some may try to come between you and me, tearing us apart

Separating our dreams and ways

So I swear to you not to stop fighting till they have all gone away

Something’s between you and me will take time, tears, blood, sweat, even pain

Something’s just bring the pouring rain

But somehow, between you and me, the love will still be the same

And some will say they never really knew what Love is

Or what it should, or could, or would really be

But, I believe they’re as wrong as can be, just between you and me

Her Grace is My Sanctuary

With the bright white light of the night sun

I cry myself to sleep for the One

and the day all the pain will be washed away

and all we’ll do is play

in the grass and all it’s splendor

Her,

with her eyes on fire from radiant Power within,

and the magnetism to pull my heart in

How I long for the Darkness when she and the starry skies are mine

for we will not have to leave that space and time

and she will have only time to love me for me

And it sets my troubled heart free,

that our love does not have to be bound to this place, this space

Only I be bound to Her Grace

“For she loves me well”,

I say to myself

And Her Love will not fail me through this Hell
