There is an organ
That keeps you alive,
It enables us to
Play, laugh, and cry.
...

Beautiful bird flying free
Tell me where it is you go,
Take me to your sanctuary.
...

They signed up to serve,
Some not getting what they bargained for.
All of them scared
To be called to war.
...

I call my angel my friend,
Sent to me when I thought
It was the end.
I was ready to give up
...

Loved to pick up the phone
And hear that southern voice,
Make no mistakes.
I did this by choice.
...

There you were sitting
Behind that screen,
We talked for hours
So it would seem.
...

To my brother
So handsome and true,
Why you had to leave so soon
We've not a clue.
...

I gave up for my heart,
Though I thought
We would never part.
I loved you more
...

The smell, the taste, the touch
Was so brand new,
That's how I felt
The day I kissed you.
...

What if I told you...
'All my thoughts are with you'
Would you love me even more?
...

I love the way your eyes
Dance when you laugh,
The way your voice cracks
When we have a little romance.
...

I drove to the eastern shore today,
Thinking of you all along the way.
As I sit and watch the water,
heavy on my mind
...

Why you had to go
Nobody will ever know.
I miss you father
More and more everyday
...

Trying to love you,
That is what I was doing.
Trying to love you,
That’s the road I was going.
...

Spent the last 8 months
Trying to love you,
Giving you all I had.
Trying to calm the fear inside me,
...

I sit on top of the mountain
Thinking about my life
I contemplate the inevitable
I will never have a wife.
...

I have a friend on the
other side of the screen.
Never seen her,
Yet I hold her deep.
...

Sitting here with my heavy head
Held in my hands,
Wondering what it is
That would make her understand.
...

My work day is over,
The day is done.
I’m done with the chores,
It’s my time for fun.
...

My sister, so beautiful and vibrant,
You are gone many a mile.
I think of you often,
You always manage to make me smile.
...
