I'm thankful for these friends of mine
they've helped me through my troubled times.
They've shown me how much they really care
and I thank them all for being there.
...

My life is like a book of poetry
about things that I've been through.
Written in simplicity
with just my point of view.

Last Breath Of A Dying Heart

Oh how I yearn to kiss your lips
Oh how I hunger to love you.
...

There's something that I must say to you
I've never had a friend so true.
You came along and picked me up
when I was so down on luck.
...

I got a new gal
She's full of sex appeal
She makes my heart go (POW)
She's the real deal

A Boy Meets A Girl

The night was young
and so was this fellow
...

When I was a little boy my Dad would always say,
'When you get you chores done you can go outside and play! '
As he left to go to work he left a list of things to do
and he expected it to be done before his day was through.
...

While sitting in my easy chair
I dozed off and I was there
Took a trip to yesterday
Where everything is gone today.
...

When I see this flag of Our's
...

You might see her on the streets any day at any time
If only I could catch her I'd like to make her mine.
She rides a big red Harley this girl that I adore
Dressed up in black leather and looking good that is for sure!
...

I spent most of my life
in search of a miracle...
I searched coast to coast
and nothing came through.

It's Only Politics

The time has come again
...

I will never forget the day you left
It was a cold December day...
Things came undone, when you decided to run
and throw all that we had away.
...

I love you even though I don't know you
I feel your lips though we've never kissed
I dream of you in the darkness of night
and in my arms I hold you tight.
...

I got to tell you something Baby
I want you in every way.
I can't get you off my mind..
I think about you night and day.

There's Never Been

You see, I fell in love when I was younger
...

Hope

I was buried in sorrow with no hope for tomorrow
I had given up on all of my dreams.
...

Like a bird in a cage
I've been locked up too long
It's time for me to spread my wings
and fly away.
...

I was down and lonely
and I had no-place to go.
The streets became my way of life
and they were dark and cold.
...

I grew up in the midwest
where the air was fresh and clean.
Small-town living was at it's best
and life was so serene.
