MY PRAYER

I must have walked down this road many times. But I never saw roses growing on the vine, until you came along.

Now I see red roses all the time. I never knew the words to this song.

I must have heard it a thousand times, now I know what it means line by line.

This only happened when you caught my eye, now I sing this song all the time.

And when we’re not together all I can see is visions of you and me, Laughing, dancing, and singing this song.

God heard my prayer and sent you straight to my arms.

And in my arms, I hope you will stay, laughing, dancing, and singing this song.

My friend Lenny in light of current events offers this to think about.

When you’re fighting for change,

you can’t fight from the outside.

You have to get in the ring.

IT’S EASY TO SEE

I’m not mad and I’m not upset; this is a day I will never forget.
Dinner for two, late movie shows, long walks on the Avenue.
I’m lost without you, and it’s easy to see, I’m lost without you.
Long walks in the rain, playing games kicking sand, one on one shooting Hoops in the high school gym.
I’m lost without you, and it’s easy to see, I’m lost without you.
Will you ever come back to me. Movies make me so sad, when all I can do is stare at the screen, and think of you, and visions of us walking hand and hand down Lovers Lane, shooting stars up over our head.
These are the things I will always miss and never forget.
What I need is one last tender kiss, this is one of the things I will surely miss.
I’m not mad and I’m not upset, I’m just lost – without you.

MAMA

You’re my sunshine, you’re my rain, you’re my medication when I’m in pain.
You’re my everything as time goes by. You’re my rocket ship when I shoot for the Stars.
You’re my cheerleader whether I win or lose,
You hold my hand when shadows form, and tell me don’t worry I’m right here by your side.
You cheer me up when things go wrong. You taught me how to be strong,
You’re my rainbow after the Storm. I wouldn’t be nothing without you –
I love you Mama, and that’s from me to you.

Everyday is mother’s Day.
