Now it is time for me to be there for you
Just as you have always been for me
To be by your side and show that I care too
To show I love you unconditionally
Not so Long Ago
It’s been years, though it seems as if it was not so long ago
That our paths crossed, it was my heart you stole
They say that time flies when you are having fun
And it sure did while we were together Hun
Our precious eleven years were as lucky as the number
For lucky I was to be with you, even though I did slumber
As I look back on those golden years
I realize that I was foolishly blind to your loving tears
They say that you never know what you had until it is gone
Your leaving me woke me up to a gloomy dawn
Now my days and nights are gloomy indeed
I forgot to water after planting in your heart my loving seed
Surely there must have been several warning signs
Yet I could not see them because I lowered my mental blinds
I thank God for raising those blinds when you went away
Now that I have been awakened I have so much to say
I know now that I should have thought of you more
So my love, I do not blame you for being sore
If I were a surgeon I would mend your broken heart
Instead I must make amends for what makes us part
I pray that you forgive me and keep an open mind
For only you have the keys to these chains on my heart that bind
They have my heart bound to a surrounding black wall
With a ceiling of despair keeping out any light at all
It’s as if I am a prisoner inside a tiny black box
No light in my life and no way out except through our much needed talks
So with this poem I ask one last favor of thee
Give me just one chance to talk to you sensibly
If after our talk you still feel the same
I will exit your life just as quick as I came

Thank God it’s another partying Friday
Done cashed my check and headed the bars way
Got here early so there is only one woman so far
Thank goodness they keep those ugly ones at the end of the bar
Shot six games of pool and downed one large pitcher
Want to get high faster, so I order a double twister
Before you know it I have added a screw driver
Couple shots of schnapps and a black diver
Finally, it’s nine and all kinds of sexy babes are pouring in
When I ask one for a dance I feel my stomach a twist in’
“Oh Goody” I think as I lead a babe to the dance floor
Think she’ll be mine by midnight, that’s for sure!
Until she taps me on the shoulder and what do I see?
Darn, that’s a cue stick; not her dancing with me
She twists me around asking “Are you all right?”
I nod and say “Yes Ma’am!” as I squeeze her tight
Things were going good until I tried that darn dip
Dropped her like a bad habit and broke her hip
Finally convinced another woman to give me a chance
Promised I would be more careful and full of romance
Now it’s almost midnight and I gaze into her eyes
Suddenly I realize that I must have swallowed some butterflies
Ignoring that, I dance the last dance and twist around
That spin was all it took to knock me to the ground
Last thing I see is the room spinning and her looking down
The bartender shows me the door saying “Don’t come back around!”
Dead & Buried
Dead & buried, Dead & gone
My old life has carried on
Without me, yes without me
Jesus carried my sins to the cross
So that my soul wouldn't be lost
Because he loves me, yes he loves me
Sin is no longer my host
Because now I have the Holy Ghost
Inside of me, yes deep down inside of me
I'm going to let my light shine
Be a good Christian all of the time
Because I love him, yes I love him
I'll follow his footsteps, walk in his ways
Jump and shout and sing Gods praise
Because I love him, yes I love him
So come on brothers and sisters follow his footsteps
Follow his footsteps home
Jesus was nailed to the cross for our sins atone
