BIG DREAMS 

I remember when I was a teenager back in the day. When I walked all alone down by the stream – when no one was home.

I would dream of Big Dreams, while I was all alone. Oh, maybe one day I would walk on the moon.

But now I’m a father with kids of my own. As strange as it may seem, that doesn’t stop my Big Dream. Because as my kids get older, they may have the same dream.

As the days come and go and I get a little older I stop and I think it may not be me.

But maybe I’ll see my kids walk on the moon. It’s only – a Fathers Big Dream.

Because dreams never get old, when you Believe – in a Fathers Big Dream.

Maybe one day, we’ll all meet together – on the moon.

WHAT I LOVE THE MOST

Cream in my coffee, butter on my toast and eggs over easy, and you as my wife.

It took a long time to find you, as I look from coast to coast. But now that I have found you, it’s you I love the most.

When days are dark and gloomy, and I stumble out of bed, and I look around and I can’t find you. Because you already went ahead,

To put cream in my coffee, butter on my toast, and eggs over easy. That’s why it’s you – I love the most.

A MOTHER’S PRAYER

When I close my eyes at night, I pray through the tears of pure delight.

Knowing I taught my children to stand up right, and to walk with pride and never look back.

While staying on the right track and staying within the walls of their faith. This is why they will never walk alone.

When they stop and listen – to a mother that cares, while holding on – to a mother’s prayer.

Spring is singing

Crescent Moon shining in the sky, winter saying it’s last goodbyes.
Shadows dancing on Frozen ponds, spring is singing I’m coming home.
Rain starts falling from the sky, winter is saying its last goodbyes.
Spring is singing I’m coming home. Flowers are pushing from beneath the snow.
Spring is still singing, I’m coming home. Rain is falling from up above to wash away the fallen snow.
But yet, spring is still singing I’m coming home. Look for me it won’t be long – spring is singing, I’m coming home, look for me it won’t be long.

THROUGH THE DAY

Have you ever had a day that was full of disappointments,
Have you ever had a day that just didn’t go your way.
This is when you should reach out for understanding.
And throw your hands up for mercy and guidance that will get you through the day.
Because every day is a journey, and some may get lost along the way.
So, raise your hands up to the heavens and say – God help me make it through the day.
I may be lost without your wisdom, but can you show me the way to a brighter day.
I know I shouldn’t be thinking about tomorrow, because I have so much to do today.
If I can just lean to your understanding, I know I can make it – through the day
