The end is near that is for cretin
life goes on we drop the curtain
Decades pass in a blind flurry
We watch our youth fad in a hurry
We look in the mirror and hope to see
What we were not what we be
The shock of truth disheartening me
The plight of life for you and me

Life around me seems to have changed
Another moment I'm in pain
My life it seems will never be
What I hoped for you and me
Ending up the way we have
Lonely, lost and always mad
In our pain we never see what the cause could ever be
Is it you or is it me
Life goes on we will see

Did I mention my baby is turning 20? Yep on the 12 of January.
Did I mention my baby is having a baby? Yep a girl.
I know this is all about my baby but.........

What is it we do when our children are grown and we are left alone?
Or family had a big party all my kids were there talking about their lives and how they were doing this and that. I just watched them and realized that their lives are going on and mine has stopped.

I use to be fun, thin, happy and interesting.
I am non of the above.
Now what?

There’s nothing better in our lives
As the love between a man and wife.
But in this world there will never be
A bond as strong as you and me
The bond we have no one can compete
My life and soul you complete


This is dedicated to my friends Tamara and Sam!
Congratulations!

The bond between a mother and child
Is strong enough for a long while.

The bond that ties our hearts as one
Will beat forever even after I am done.

When time flies like a rabbit in full sprint
We tend to forget to stop and look around.

Today I was walking a simple path
One that sat in the midst of my everyday life.
A small park along a winding river
In the center of an everyday town.

The stress of my life screams in my head
I struggle to focus on the elements around me
Never realizing the peace and quiet Nature offers
As an escape from the normal day-to-day
Over-stressed population...I myself one.

I find myself lost in thought.

The wash of peace as I stood staring blankly
Not noticing the nothing around me.
No sound, no movement, my body almost floating
Like the river in front of me.
A warm breeze gently blowing over my skin
I was sinking ever so slowly into my body.

No thought, no stress, no worry.

Drowning out the sounds that ring in my head
I want to scream

Wishing all the sound would stop in my head
I want to drop

Boxing up all the words
In a place that can’t be heard

Open eyes and open mouth
I keep my visions to myself

Play it safe I want to warn
Stay away from words I moan

Today I lay await
Of what’s to come when I awake

Dreaming now of long lost love
Moments of passion, flying doves

When was the loss, how did I miss it?
The passion fading doing the dishes

Once in the whirlwind life passing by
Car-pool and soccer defining ride

Kids are all grown strangers we be
What’s left in life for you and for me
