Today 3-16-2021 

Don't judge me by today and maybe not tomorrow
And even this thought may be a stretch forever
But then again - It all starts with today

We get up each morning with a dream in our eyes
Trusting ourselves not just to get by
But then again - It all starts with today

I got one shot today and even more with tomorrow
How can I fail when dreams are forever
But then again - It all starts with today

While some have held up and while others fall down
I only know how I want to turn myself around
But then again - It all starts with today

We got one shot today and even more with tomorrow
How can we fail when dreams are forever
But then again - It all starts with today

We know it's not easy with fear in our eyes
It takes courage to stand up and get by
And always and again - It all starts with today

Don't judge me by today and maybe not tomorrow
and even this thought may be a stretch forever
But then again - It all starts with today
Bt then again - It all starts with today

 

Aces of Yesterday 0-00-2021

The quiet friendly voice with a glimpse from the past
Always a warm smile whenever you pass
Aces of yesterday still have a story to tell
They had a way and a will that got them through hell

Although wounds can heal - the scars live on forever
Will troubles be forgotten from so many days ago
How can the pain of the past remind us of before
Today I found - we're bound to be better

The quiet friendly voice with a glimpse from the past
Always a warm smile whenever you pass
Aces of yesterday still have a story to tell
They had a way and a will that got them through hell

Forgotten past memories from the history of today
Could it be our future what we saw in yesterday
Where is the courage from that time before
Is something missing that made them go back for more

The quiet friendly eyes with a view from before
Do you give a warm smile as you walk in the door
The aces of yesterday still have a story to tell
They had a way and a will that got them through hell

The aces of yesterday still have a story to tell
What we remember - our time will tell.

Another Love Song 9-2-2021

I love our walks in the morning
And our games you win feel right
And then there's music
And the way you dance at night

Not just another love song - I wrote this one
But then again - What does this mean

I love raising kids together
Our adventure is forever
And always the Mother you be
When you see the Dad in me

Not just another love song - I wrote this one
But then again - This is what it means to me

Bumps in the road are what will be
Always see through another day
Grey sunsets may come and go
Long days are on this road

Not just another love song - I wrote this one
And then again - this is what it means to me

And when you hear - another song
I hope you remember - and always think of me

Not just another love song - I wrote this one
And then again - this is what it means to me

Archives and Whiskey 9-2-2021
Time by myself
Thoughts of you and nobody else
What we have is still here
All your absence means to me

Archives and whiskey sittin on my shelf
Looking through a glass mixed by nobody else
Archives and whiskey played out in time
Thoughts and old memories are on my mind

Time by myself
Thoughts of you and nobody else
What we have is still here
Years for you are in my tears

Archives and whiskey on my mind
Minutes and hours are on the line
With my tears what will I find
Will I feel better with the measure of time

What's something gained without you here
Efforts built for future years
Good memories with the bad
Reflections are all I have

The words are written but what's on the page
How do I get past this stage
Archives and whiskey sittin on my shelf 
Thoughts and old memories mixed by nobody else

Time by myself
Thoughts of you being somewhere else
Though you gove I still see
All your absence means to me 

- In time


 

Conversations 2021

I want to keep having conversations
The ones that put a smile in your eyes
Can we keep reaching out to each other
Looking for each other in this place 

Do you remember that first time together
And did I challenge the look in your eyes
How did you handle that first time together
Or do you remember that feeling inside

I want to keep having conversations
The ones that put a smile in your eyes
Can we keep finding those new things together
Or will we ever find the time to try

Do you remember those many times together
I often see when I close my eyes
When is the time for our sunset together
And where is your smile I used to see each night

I remember always our first kiss together
And the hug is always here by my side
Its been always for us a choice to remember
I keep our always forever inside

I want to keep having conversations
The ones that put a smile back in your eyes
Can we keep reaching out to each other
Looking for each other in this place

I want to keep having conversations
The ones that put a smile back in your eyes
Can we keep reaching out to each other
Looking for each other in this place.






 

Dandelions as Roses 9-20-2020

What a questions we've all been asking
Where are all the questions that used to make sense
When is the time that normal was ever easy
Is it time we all start a second chance

Don't sell me dandelions as roses
It's not what I want or what I need
Truth can be a hard pill to swallow
But it's better when you know what the fight is about

Granpa told me stories and they had a purpose
What's the meaning of what you've been talking about
Nights by the fire were worth more than gold
It's a treasure I can always be thinking about

Don't sell me dandelions as roses 
It's not what I want or what I need
Truth can be a hard pill to swallow
But it's better when you know what the fight is about
 
Now that I've moved on
Yes I still wake with the sun
Always a little more each day
It's how we find our way

One was just too many times to fool me
Now I know your not worth talking about
All the money in the world won't solve your problems
What's for free that your too scared to be

and Now that I've moved on
Yes I still wake with the sun
Always a little more each day
It's how we find our way

Don't sell me dandelions for roses
It's not what I want or what I need
Truth can be a hard pill to swallow
But it's better when you know what the fight is about

Don't sell me dandelions for roses
It's not what I need nor what I want





 

BlueBird 1-5-2023

Flying are thoughts not qritten down
Flying farther from the sound
Will it work only if I try
Lost dreams fall from the sky

Sing Bluebird sing to me
You are a myth to me
On the breath of a a north wind
New wings are in the wind

Let your wings carry on 
With the wind and with a song
Storms they may come and go
Don't lose hope or your soul.

Sing bluebird sing to me
You are a myth to me
On the breath of a north wind
New wings are in the wind

And in the park again
Blowing changes are in the wind
With this what will we find
Almost all that's on my mind

Flying with thoughts written down
Flying farther with the sound
Will it work only if I try
Lost dreams fall from the sky

Sing bluebird sing to me
You area dream to me
On the breath of a south wind
Old wings now in the wind

Sing bluebird sing to me
You are a dream to me








 

Time On My Side 3-15-2020

Now times on my side
Toward the end of the day
No more running wild
Inks on the page

With these Twilight tears
Tiem to face my fears
Reflecting with my years
And now I'm first in line for that finish line

I always thought I'd do more
I'd dreamed I'd do more
I would've hell on to more years
Now what was more all about

With these twighlight tears
Time to face my fears
reflecting on my years
And not I'm first in line for that finish line

What's my story to tell
Neither heaven nor hell
Always some highs and lows
Both were just a choice

With these twighlight fears
Reflecting on the years
How we see through the years
We all find the finish line

Now times on my side





 

Tearing Down the Road 12-21-2021

Tearing down the road that's what's on my mind
Distracted enjoying the value of time
Les's raise the bar and remember the past
The time went by let's say way to fast

What's coming tomorrow easily I don't know
Lets ride the highs and walk through the lows
In-betweens need to find there way to the show
I just want to keep on tearing down the road

Wondering through your mind what will I find
I'm on a road less traveled taking curves in the blind
With a flurry of thoughts my mind in on the times
With snow on the road I still have home to go

What's coming tomorrow easily I don't know
Lets ride the highs and walk through the lows
In-betweens need to find there way to the show
I just want to keep on tearing down the road

It's never been easy changing lanes in these times
But my road less travelled has me blind
Is what your up to - well - could it be a crime
Are you as distracted with our time

Can we keep this motor running through the rain and the snow
How many miles left to get to the show

Tearing down that's what's on my mind
distracted enjoying the value of time
What's coming tomorrow easily I don't know
I just want to keep on tearing down the road
I just want to keep on tearing down the road





 

Skeptics 1-24-2022

You say one thing while I see another
Irony is always been a bother
You crossed the line again and I'm just sad
Her we are again and are we all this bad

Questions are what we're grounded on
Hard to see us moving on
History has a way of writing this down
Why have the skeptics left town

Never really was I ever this read
But here we are again with things unsaid
You went too far and we still want to grow
The pain is real as change feels slow

Questions are what we're grounded on
Hard to see us moving on
History has a way of writing this down
Why have the skeptics left town

Now though we all still like to think
Life forgets lost time in a blink
A plan for one or maybe two\
Is this a conspiracy or just a question for you

Questions are what we're grounded on
It's hard to see us moving on
History has a way of writing this down
Why have the skeptics left town

Why were the books often written this way
Classics born with a price to pay
Sometimes lost to the flames of yesterday
Is  this our value or is this our shame

Questions are what were grounded on
Hard to see us moving on
History has a way of writing this down
Why should the skeptics leave town

People of the world is it time
Is it time to get back in line




 

Trade My Soul 8-2020

I Trade my soul in for a broken heart
But I'm still not sure any more

When I was young and with lots of choices
Why did they seem so easy to see

What with the options and these days among us
Are changes what we want or only what we see
Is there more or less to be only what is known
How would you choose or decide your way

I trade my heart in for a broken soul
I'm still not sure anymore
We all make choices that last forever
Is there a time when change was kind
Is there a time when change was kind

What with the joy that speeds my time
Without my troubles life seems to fly right by
Life has direction without definition
Definition is individual defined
Definition is individual defined

I trade my soul in for a broken heart
I'm still not sure anymore
We all make choices that last forever
Is there a time when change was kind
Is there a time when change was kind





 

Two Dollars 12-20-2020

Never does it survive in just a day
How is a dream to find its way
Wherever you start to push along
Like at a park to sing a song

You have to like to play alone
Though maybe two dollars at a time
I see it helps me find my way
Though we may all start out alone

Whenever did we find it right
To start alone in this fight
It's always been this way
It's up to you to start the day

You have to like to play alone
Though maybe two dollars at a time
I see it helps me find my way
Though we may sometimes feel quit alone 

Another whyever should I try
We have so many ways to get by
But then again what else Shold I do
_ And whats it like to get to fly

You have to like to play alone
Though maybe two dollars at a time
See how it helps me find my way
Even when I get to play alone




 

Cruel Kindness 3-14-2023

Curious of the Kindness and can it be cruel
What drives the reason and what drives the soul
I think I see it and I think you have too
How could easy ever do it and why do we let go

Is this a freedom that just seems to grow
Are smugness and smiles built into the bold
Whenever was a season to sleep out in the cold
Is this a freedom but who is the fool

Cruel kindness ironed out in the rain
Does something not said only add to the shame
Is it something not said nor recognized
Cruel Irony of kindness built on the pain

Cold on the carboard or strung out in the rain
Falling apart where is the break in the chain
Why is kindness in irons and on display
How did we get here whey would we stay

Cruel kindness ironed out in the rain
Dies something not said only add to the shame
Is it something not said nor recognized
Is cruel irony of kindness built on the pain

Curious of the kindness and can it be cruel
What drives the reason what drives the soul
I think I see it and I think you have too
Could easy ever do it and who is the fool

Curious of the kindness and can it be cruel
What drives the reason and what drives the soul
Curious of the kindness and can it be cruel.





 

Tombstone Epitaph 12-16-2022

After it's been written was there a bigger story to tell
Time born again with no history to sell
But is this a question or a true parody
Because after its's written what story will be

Is it worthy of your tombstone of your epitaph
Does memory weigh the same how do words change
Words come to pass- will yours come to last
Is it worth of your tombstone of your epitaph

Built for the future lost from yesterday
How will the future foray with today
Do we build a whole story or select from the past
Change may be a good thing or a good thing last

Is it worthy of your tombstone or of your epitaph
Does memory weigh the same how do words change
Words come to pass - will yours come to last
Is it worthy of your tombstone of your epitaph

Never say there's no better of course way to go
But then again how would I know
Grandpa told stories but then again who told him
Born from nothing has where to begin

Is it worthy of your tombstone of your epitaph
Should memory weigh the same how do words change
Words come to pass will yours come to last
Is it worthy of your tombstone of your epitaph

Is it worthy of your tombstone of your epitaph
After it's been written was there a bigger story to tell






 

Ages 11-8-2023

When I was young and curious, without fear of my answers.
She always treated me like a little man, if your old enough to ask.
Told by others your to young to think about these things at your age.  
But then again, what is it that I see.
 
Now she's walking down the aisle with her arm rested on mine.
A future dream in front of her, fear in my heart and eyes in tears.
But now whats the thing that gets me, not only another dream in front of me.
You are worthy of me, and I give myself to you.

And when I think of Grandma, she always had the answers.  Often to hard for others to talk about.
And we said goodbye, one of six to walk her home.  I will always remember how she held me as her own.

Now she's walking down the aisle with her arm rested on mine.  
A future dream in front of her, fear in my heart and eyes in tears.
But now whats the thing that gets me, not only another dream in front of me.
You are worthy of me, and I give myself to you.   

I will always miss my Mom, gone to early to help me through the directions a mother only knows.

Now she's walking down the aisle with her arm rested on mine.  A future dream in front of her, fear in my heart and eyes in tears.But now whats the thing that gets me, not only another dream in front of me.You are worthy of me, and I give myself to you.
