The Day

Sun rises
Dew on the roses
Birds chirping
Day begins

Orange sky
Clouds float by
Sunset starts
Darkness moves in

Love ones gather
Together evening meal
Slumber is approaching
Sleep...

As time goes by

As time goes by
And I get old
Don't put me away
Let me stay home

Days you were young
I wiped every tear
When you were afraid
You had nothing to fear

Now I need you
I am afraid
Don't put me away
Let me stay...

A Soldier's Torment

I can't stop this memory
Remembering what I witnessed
They died in my arms
So innocent

My mind won't let me forget
I try to sleep it doesn't come
If I could I would take their place
I can still see their face

It should have been me
...

Night

The sun goes down, the pain begins
To stay in bed would be the best
Alas the pain won't ease
Back in the chair I go

I try to endure to get asleep
Pain won't let me win
Medication is the answer
To numb out the pain...

Remember Me

Remember me when you grow old
Of days gone by and stories told
You look at the chair with no one there
Wishing that you again could share

Memories come flooding back
Lovely stories of which you lack
Mom & Dad you miss so dearly
Times you...
