Gods Gift is the Night

The day dies slowly as the moon rises high above
And while I can't hardly wait for the blessed night
For I have scampered to and fro in search of kind love
God created darkness to find peace from the light
I close my eyes hoping just to escape this hard life
While pain and anguish slowly seem to melt away
Bliss settles like morning mist to hide the days strife
Here in the world of dreams I am lost to the sway
In this realm I can be a hero, villain or a goodly king
I rob banks, save a thousand lives or kiss the queen
I can do all of this without moving one rusted bed spring
But alas the night ends with birds chirping to a sunlit scene

Men Like We

Men like we have to tow the damn line
And the cost of it might not matter at all
We don't sit idly by waiting for a sign
And we jump when you choose to fall
Men like we act without thought of our life
And we don't have the luxury of your luck
We don't think twice about life and its strife
We like to solve problems with 00 Buck
Men like we take all your shit with a smile
We will take that flack because we can
And its us you need to go that extra mile
Our creed is very simple, I am a man

To my Love

Hello my darling wife, I am thankful for you
The brain tumor, Avn of the hip and depression
I was all but lost and it was you that I turned to
You have enriched my life, that is my confession
When my life slowly crumbled to the ground
And the past caused small beads of faith to drip
You dried my tears and would not let me drown
Our love has never allowed me to lose my grip
You have been there through the ups and downs
And before you my dear, I was nothing but a boy
That is until I saw you in a beautiful flowing gown
I became a man and you have always been my joy
It has been ten years of unrelenting pain for me
But you bring happiness when tears come to my eyes
And my conditions may bring me to my knees
But I know you will always be there to help me rise
