Loneliness


It's hidden deep within my heart
where no one else can see
An ever growing loneliness 
that always walks with me...

A sadness that aflicts my soul
I try my best to hide
I wish that I could let it go
how often I have tried...

Fields of Red


Lay me down in fields of red
where flowers bloom in spring
The land that birthed a thousand souls
where ancient voices sing...

Speak of all the glory days
the tribute to a friend
A solemn little gathering
that loved him to the end...

Your Voice


It's been a long and lonely year
I've made it through somehow
When times were hard I heard your voice
just like I hear it now...

You always have a special way
to let me know you're close
Whenever I am faltering
and when I need you most...

A New Year's Wish


A sudden overwhelming pause
you're thoughts are coming through
The changing of the year arrives
and still, I'm not with you...

My spirit feels your warm embrace
and soon my mind is calm
I search to find the words to say 
before the year is gone...

Alas I'll wait another day
my patience will renew
My Love the only wish I have
a happy year with you...

Christmas Morning


Christmas morning at the door
excitement in the air
Trees adorned with lights and lace
the fireplace aflare...

Soon the children will awake
and run towards the tree
"Look what Santa brought for us
and what he brought for me!"....

Charlotte


Charlotte please don't turn away
let's give this one more chance
A little give and take is all
to have a real romance...

Just say the word and I'll be there
that's really all it takes
We'll move on from the world we've known
forget our past mistakes...

We'll go wherever fate will lead
and start a brand new life
I'll kneel before you with a ring
and ask you be my wife...

Peace


I now have peace with who I am
my role in life is clear
It wasn't always quite that way
I had to conquer fear...

Melancholy Attitude


A melancholy attitude
I've been here for a while
I just can't seem to shake this thing
forgotten how to smile...
