On My Own

ON MY OWN

I don’t believe you left me without saying a word.
I know we had some differences, and I know there were times we didn’t agree.
But how did you leave me without saying a word.
I knew there were times that we struggled, but leaving without a word.
What could I have done so terrible, that made you want to leave.
Could it be that I’ve become so unpredictable, that you just had to leave.
I guess you were trying to show me that I can stand up on my own.
I know it’s been a long time since you left me.
But I’ve learned to stand up on my own.

Fork in the Road

FORK IN THE ROAD

When life gets dark and we lose control, and we stop and look at the fork in the road.
I’ll say to myself, which way should I go.
If I go to the left, that would take me home.
If I go to the right, will I continue to roam, into a life where no man should go.
I’m stuck in confusion, and no one should know. I’m standing here at the fork in the road.
Once upon a Time a wise man once said: Follow Your Shadow it’ll take you home, follow the wind and you will continue to roam.
So make your decision, even though it may be hard – when you’re standing at – the fork in the road.

Memorial Day 2024

Memorial Day has historically been a day of reflection in commemoration those who have given their lives in service to our country.  It began as Decoration Day and was the day when the living decorated the graves of the fallen in memory of their service.  These days it’s  barbeques, big box store sales and lots of flag waving.

On this Monday, May 27th, Let us not forget the men and women who one day left home for the final time.

There’s Always Tomorrow

THERE’S ALWAYS TOMORROW

Come and sit down by my side and tell me all about your trouble – one thing you must learn – you can’t make no one love you.

So, dry your eyes, and don’t worry about tomorrow. Because if you look deep down inside, you’ll find the world is full of nothing but trouble.

So, don’t go looking for love, because in the end – it will find you. It may not be today or tomorrow but in time – it will find you.

So come and sit down by my side and forget about your trouble. Because the sun will rise tomorrow.

So, look at the bright side of life, in time love will find you. It may not be today or tomorrow, but you just wait and see.

So, at the end of the day as the sun fades away, just remember – there’s always tomorrow.

Tender Touch

TENDER TOUCH

It doesn’t make any difference, what highway or road we take.
Because when we get in trouble, there’s no mistake.
We call on the name of Mama.
Because we can still imagine Mama’s tender touch and loving hands,
I don’t care how old we get, there’s something About Mama, and that tender touch.
So, when you wake up this morning, don’t forget about the one who held you near, and kept you close when you were in fear.
If you fell and hurt yourself, she would kiss your dirty knees.
Now it’s time to reciprocate and show her that you care.
Because when you sit back and wonder – just remember she was always there.
Yes, I’ll always Remember Mama, in my good days and my bad.
There is one thing I will never forget – her tender touch, and loving hands.
