It was fifteen years ago,
as his father filled out the form.
In the middle of July,
when little Timmy was born.
And later on that month,
his grand parents by plane.
Came to see Timmy,
but that night there was rain.
So they never quite got there,
to see their grand son.
As their plane went down,
and they where never heard from.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
not the once did you complain.
Through all of the sorrows,
tears and the pain.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
on your parade there's rain.
And why everyone leaves you,
no one has explained.
It was a few years later,
Timmy was almost four.
When his parents were fighting,
and his mother went out the door.
Yes she got in the car,
on that miserable night.
And as the rain poured down,
she drove out of sight.
All the police report said,
was she went off the road.
Exactly what happen,
Timmy was never told.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
not the once did you complain.
Through all of the sorrows,
tears and the pain.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
on your parade there's rain.
And why everyone leaves you,
no one has explained.
At the age of twelve,
death came calling again.
And this time Timmy lost,
his very best friend.
It was on yet another stormy night,
as lighting struck their home.
And the poor little child,
was there all alone.
Like Timmy he was twelve,
and Johnny was his name.
His house burned to the ground,
and he died in the flame.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
not the once did you complain.
Through all of the sorrows,
tears and the pain.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
on your parade there's rain.
And why everyone leaves you,
no one has explained.
It was a few years after,
the death of his pal.
When Timmy got sick,
and wasn't doing so well.
Now every night as he falls asleep,
he hears his father crying.
They are tears of pain and sorrow,
for little Timmy's dying.
And during that final day,
his father already a little shaken.
Burst into tears,
when Timmy would awaken.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
not the once did you complain.
Through all of the sorrows,
tears and the pain.
Little Timmy, Little Timmy,
on your parade there's rain.
And why everyone leaves you,
no one has explained.

Bitch
I only said hello,
you laughed and said nothing.
I offered you a drink,
you refused and mumbled something.
I asked you for a dance,
you turned away and said no.
I mentioned my name,
you answered with yeah so.
I said you're very pretty,
you yawned like you were bored.
I tried to say good bye,
you totally ignored.
I turned to walk away,
you continued to be rude.
I thought to myself,
that's a bitch with an attitude.
But I left you with a smile,
even though you shot me down.
For I wouldn't let you think,
you were even worth a frown.

The River
That one large river,
which flows so fast,
would stop anyone,
who wishes to pass.
With it's raging waters,
it seems alive,
all who enters,
none survive.
In crossing the river,
many have tried,
but no one has ever,
reached the other side.
There are walls of flame,
and walls of stone,
but the river is a wall,
that stands alone.
With the thought of it's power,
many would shiver,
it's an impassable barrier,
it's the mighty river.

Remembering
I remember not so long ago,
when you would sit next to me.
I remember I loved it so,
there was no place I'd rather be.
I remember your gentle voice,
and all you had to say.
I remember I had no choice,
as deeper I'd fall each day.
I remember those little glances,
that at times we had shared.
I remember all those chances,
I had to say I cared.
I remember my strong affection,
and that I never told you.
I remember the fear of rejection,
now I fear I'll never hold you.
I remember watching you leave,
I wanted to yell out "no."
I remember I couldn't believe,
that I didn't say "don't go."
I remember I let you walk away,
without even saying a word.
I remember the feelings I wished to say,
are feelings you've never heard.
I remember not so long ago,
when you would sit next to me.
I remember, and this I know,
you are my favorite memory.
Never let those whom you care for become only a memory.
Keep them in you life.

Beautiful World
Can you feel the wind, it's gentle breeze,
and the coolness of the shade, underneath the trees.
Can you hear the rain, it's soothing sound,
and the pitter patter, as it hits the ground.
Can you see the sunset, in the evening sky,
and the darkness that follows, so peaceful to the eye.
Can you find the beauty, it's everywhere,
just look with your heart, trust me it is there.
Beauty is everywhere!

Mr Heart of Ice
As I listen to the thunder,
I sit here and I wonder,
can I make it on my own.
And as I look for the lightning,
I realize that it is frighting,
that I am all alone.
While the rain is pouring down,
there is no smiling just a frown,
for I know I've had enough.
And there is a chill in the air,
that fills my heart with fear,
knowing I have never loved.
As the air gets even colder,
I come to grips that I'm much older,
and soon I will die.
Just as the thunder lightning ceases,
I feel like I am in pieces,
and so I begin to cry.
With the rain changing to snow,
I am wondering where did time go,
and what has happened to me.
And there is a chill in the air,
that fills my soul with fear,
thinking can this really be.
As the snow forms a protective cover,
I remember when I once loved her,
and my frown becomes a smile.
As the sun fights for power,
I shine on in this my finest hour,
but it has been awhile.
Now the sun in complete control,
lifts a burden from my soul,
and I believe in life, love and christ.
With no chill left in the air,
my heart and soul without fear,
it's the end of Mr. Heart of Ice!

Before Peace
Peace is not a decision; it's a goal. You don't decide to have peace, you decide that you want to have peace, and than you work towards it. The work is the change needed before peace.
Now peace is obtained,
one step at a time.
Starting individually,
with a peaceful state of mind.
And peace on earth,
will just have to wait.
Until every individual,
is in their peaceful state.
When this is complete,
and everyone's mind is at rest,
then we turn to global peace,
which is next on the list.
First the fightings must stop,
then the wars must cease.
And we have to trust one another,
before we can achieve peace.
Next we have to realize,
that the earth is not a toy.
And more importantly,
that it's not ours to destroy.
For the earth is not our property,
it;s not something we own.
No it belongs to our children,
and we have it on loan.
So we can;t go burning the forest,
or do whatever we wish.
We can't pollute the waters,
cause we're killing the fish.
Life has to be respected,
then the killings will end.
Lastly we must believe in love,
before peace can begin.
World peace demands not only a peace, but also a world.
One is not much good without the other.

Goddess
She is my one religion,
and that is plain and simple.
She herself is the goddess,
and her body's the temple.
And oh what I wouldn't give,
to visit that holy place.
I'd be so close to heaven,
that I'd get a first hand taste.

Believe
Sometimes belief is hard to find,
very difficult to achieve.
It's not exactly easy,
to totally believe.
To believe without proof.
To believe without doubt.
To believe without knowing,
what it is really all about.
But it's such a strong and firm emotion,
as solid as a stone.
And when you experience belief,
in your face it will be shown.
Sometimes belief is everything,
without it there's only space.
But belief brings it all together,
puts everything in it's place.
Belief can be a tool, a weapon,
or even something more.
Belief can create or destroy,
and give us reason to explore.
To explore the unexplored,
to learn the unknown.
To discover new and better things,
and than hope that we have grown.
Sometimes belief can be a medicine,
to help you when you're ill.
Yes belief can do so much,
strong belief may even heal.
If you believe that you are fine,
no matter what the disease.
Then this belief may help you,
conquer it with ease.
Cause you refuse to let go of life,
with even one dream unsatisfied.
Believing it could have been reality,
if only you had tried.
Sometimes belief can be enough,
enough to get you by.
If you just believed,
than maybe you could fly.
Belief could be the magic,
that we've been looking for.
With just a little belief,
we may even soar.
Soar above the clouds,
with our arms spread wide.
A smile on our face,
and belief on our side.
You Gotta Believe!

Failing the Test
New rulers make promises,
hoping support they will gain.
But the only thing that changes,
is the rulers name.
They say battles are fought and won,
by soldiers filled with pride.
But I don't see how there's a winner,
when there are soldiers who have died.
Revolutions come and go,
rulers rise and fall.
But is there any purpose,
what's the meaning of it all.
God created this world,
putting humans above the rest.
And as we destroy his creation,
we also fail his test.
hoping support they will gain.

Somewhere Tonight (by Bob Seger)
Somewhere tonight
Someones reachin out to someone whos refusin
Someones tired of all the reasons someones using
Someone doesnt understand
Somewhere tonight
Someones thinkin back to someone who got closer
Someones realizin somethings really over
Someones thinkin its too late
Someones thinkin its too late
Theres a cold wind blowin from the north
And the summer birds are leavin
As the sun slips ever further south
The lakes will soon be freezin
And the ice will claim the empty shores
Where the ones in love went walkin
And the hard blue skies will shiver
As the winter clouds come stalkin
And unless you find someone to hold
Unless someone starts carin
Unless you find the warmth you need
Unless someone starts sharin
When the long, dark nights come closin in
And the winter winds come howlin
You dont know if youll make it
Without someone you can count on
Somewhere tonight
Someones packin up and someones really leavin
Someones not quite sad - only disbelievin
Someones walkin out the door
Someones walkin out the door
Someones reachin out to someone whos refusin
Someones tired of all the reasons someones using
Someone doesnt understand
Somewhere tonight
Someones thinkin back to someone who got closer
Someones realizin somethings really over
Someones thinkin its too late
Someones thinkin its too late
Theres a cold wind blowin from the north
And the summer birds are leavin
As the sun slips ever further south
The lakes will soon be freezin
And the ice will claim the empty shores
Where the ones in love went walkin
And the hard blue skies will shiver
As the winter clouds come stalkin
And unless you find someone to hold
Unless someone starts carin
Unless you find the warmth you need
Unless someone starts sharin
When the long, dark nights come closin in
And the winter winds come howlin
You dont know if youll make it
Without someone you can count on
Somewhere tonight
Someones packin up and someones really leavin
Someones not quite sad - only disbelievin
Someones walkin out the door
Someones walkin out the door
An Innocent Man (by Billy Joel)
Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
