My Lovely Mother
Soft spoken, gentle
Light on her feet
Smiling and happy
So dainty, so sweet
She always wanted me to be
Just like her
That could never be
I had to demur
I was a tiger
I couldn’t purr

Soldiers are like arrows
Soldiers
They go where they are sent
Never, underestimate them
For, they are hell bent
They’re only following orders
I’ve often heard, it said
But, once they cross, your borders
You’ll still be, just as dead
They are trained to destroy
To never ask why.
You may be old and wise
Most of them, young girls and boys
But, like I just said
You’ll still be just as dead
The war machine has to be fed
But, when they’re on our side
Our hearts swell with pride
For, we know that we’re on
The winning side
Our fear is gone, no need to hide
When, we’ll have peace … God will decide
They only fight, for what is right
Force back our enemies
With all their might
Young lives on the line
All the time, rain or shine
Twenty four seven
One foot on terrafirma
The other in Heaven
It is what it is
And always shall be
Peace is priceless
It has never been free
May God guide and bless
And grant them rest
Though, their day be long
They carry on
The best of the best
So brave … So strong

Real Love
Tell me I’m pretty
Tell me I’m smart
Tell me you love me
We’ll never part
You’ll love me forever
That’s a good start
I know I’m pretty
I know I’m smart
Show me you love me
I’ll give you my heart

Cherry Pie
Ross is a very happy guy
He dearly loves his Cherry Pie
Ask and he will tell you why
Her love is true, he will reply
He always knew and so did I
Cherry Pie is very coy
Perhaps that’s why
She caught his eye
He always smiled
When she passed by
One day in May, she said Hi
Now she is his Cherry Pie

Dying is Forever
Once I almost died
And it kinda’ hurt my pride
When everybody cried cause I never
I would love to make them happy
But according to my pappy
Dying is forever

The Sun
We always want what we can’t have
We always crave what’s out of reach
I doubt if we would love the sun
If we were living on a beach

Goldmine
You loved me for me
I was too blind to see
Listened to somebody else
Made a fool of myself
Finally came to my senses
Now, I’m trying to mend fences
Between us. Regain your trust
When, we get back together
I won’t complain about, the weather
Or anything else
I can’t change
I can always rearrange, my plans
My fate is in your hands
Let’s have some give and take
Just for old times sake
Our love stood, the test of time
Now, we have a gold mine

Our love stood the test of time
And it didn’t cost a dime
Just a little glass of wine
To make your brown eyes shine
Now, we have a gold mine

Make My Day
You always knew what to do
Whenever I was feeling blue
What to do and what to say
You knew the way to make my day
To make me smile and feel okay

Wild Animals
We don’t have to own
Every pretty thing we see
Throw them a bone
And just let them be
They’re not made of stone
They’ll like you and me
Leave them alone
They just want to be free

Really
Oh no
Tell me it isn’t so
Did I really write that
What was I thinking
Where was my mind at
Must have been drinking
Emptied the vat
