Love is hot like the Arizona desert
Love is strange not depending on the weather
Love is pure as that very first day
Love is many things when you make it that way
...

As that lucky old sun shows his face at dawn
And erases the morning dew from the pastures and beyond
The busy worker bees are busy kissing their blossoms not for fun
But to feed their family and propagate life’s journey
...

Born an angel fourteen years ago
She stayed that way throughout her life
Always helping those around her
Leaving her mother so very proud
...

I know you
And I’ve seen your evil ways
On so many of your selfish days
As you suck life away from those
...

My black bottom
Playing baseball in Carolina
Sweating salt, looking ghostly
Can’t wait for tomorrow game
...

She was intelligent and beautiful inside
You sent her to me to give meaning to my life
I fought her off but there was no defense
‘Cause this is the way you wanted it
...

In all these days
He is taken us
Through his forest
In his own way
...

Waking up
By the touch of your hands
Rubbing my back and
Searching gently for that itch
...

I used to be so strong
And my knees didn’t quiver
Now I can hardly take a few steps
Without having my kidneys swivel
...

When the wind in the air
Is blowing through your hair
And the sunlight shows the halo
That is there
...

In a field of many
Gathered on a frozen pond
Making the rules
Quacking in unison
...

Fifteen years with the woman I love
And the babies we had together
Waking up every morning with her by my side
And loving her forever
...

I woke up this morning
From holding you all night
As I stroked your hair
You let go a sigh
...

If I cannot touch you
Will you write me today?
‘Cause I feel so lonely
Since you’ve been away
...

We are a nation of diversities
And that’s all right with me
We have fought and died as enemies
In the name of liberty
...

It’s late Friday night
I am ready for bed
As I think about you
Red wine jogs inside my head
...

What can I give to this world of our
To make it better for us all to live
What did I do to contribute to this madness?
Is there still time to change?
...

I fell in love with your so very fast
You never really did believe it
For you have lived, loved and lost
You think I will only deceive you
...

They told me sport cars
And girls would be beautiful
If only I worked in this field
...

You never told me feelings were missing
Words with compassion now I see
You never told me your heart was slowly breaking
I would have done things differently
...
