We parted once as life took you from me,
I walk with the wind,
I look to the sun,
My faith comforts me,
You are seen with this mans heart.

A DREAM OF YOU
A dream of you i thought last night,
By my side you rested into the dark of night.
You were real,
Was it i the dream you had seen.?

FIFTY MILES ONLY FIFTY MILES
i WALK FIFTY MILES,
My heart and soul will guide me.
Across the land, be my guiding hand.
You drive me,
My Inspiration is you,
Take me to the end of the road.

WHEN YOU THINK OF ME
When you think of me then know there is love,
When I think of you then I know love is real.
If these things are true,
Together this world is ours.
Keith Garrett
I’LL WALK THIS ROAD
I‘LL WALK THIS ROAD,
I’ll walk alone,
Fifty miles,
“Darling”
Walk with me
The last mile home,
Take my hand,
Take me home.

IF IN A DREAM
If in a dream you loved me,
Then would you love me once again.
Would you hold my hand,
Would you be my friend.
If i had a kiss waiting for you,
Would you take that kiss and
Hold it in your heart.?

THE IMMORTALS
Superman can fly high, he can touch the endless sky,
I am not made of steel fore i am only real, fly, no not I.
Batman seeks shelter within a cave, a mask covers his face,
I am not a caped crusader, strong am I, see that i wear no disguise.
From a spinning web he travels along the building walls,
I am not spider man therefore at times I may fall.
watch him run, he is known as the flash, another with a mask,
No super hero am I but possess do I the power of fast.
The hulk is powerful, strong and holds not many a fear,
I am not a fantasy, I get scared and have tears.
Captain america with his shield is fearless and strong,
I am not one of the Immortals, I stand just a man.

WHEN YOU DON’T REMEMBER ME
Life can change in a single second, altering lives forever,
One thing happens and a chain of events moves far beyond.
We have a most powerful and amazing gift, it is the brain,
This is a mechanism that is at the same time most fragile.
In the blink of an eye everything we know can be unknown,
An accident, so fast to be struck with trauma to our minds.
Our time may be over and we don’t even know what’s happened,
We die that fast or even worse that we live without knowing.
Not enough understanding of the simple thoughts that hide,
A love that can remember almost everything but you are not there.
When you don’t remember me as you did only a moment ago,
I remember all things for you, we are now strangers,
We have a choice, you’re alive and we can together start over.

WHAT LIVES IN A POEM
A poem is beautiful, It can be anything that you wish it to be,
What lives in a poem,? Imagination of the wondering mind.
It can take you away, a vacation of choice to anywhere out there,
A dream that lives inside, written words that greatly describe.
What lives in a poem are the memories you carry around always,
Sad happenings of realistic times, happy, wonderful things that define.
Your thoughts and all that makes you whom you are,
To write, too make that what lives in a poem come alive.
What lives in a poem can be any place you want to be,
You can go anywhere, write a fantasy life or live a dream.
What lives in a poem is the real you and all that you see.

I CAN CRY
Working hard is what i do, bruises and cuts are many too,
I know i’m strong but the pain is inside, so I can cry.
There lives in me the will to survive, I’ve walked fifty miles,
When my journey was done with god at my side, I can cry.
I can throw a football, hike up through the hills and fall,
I can run through a fire, defend my girl, I can cry.
I can cry when the world is at war,
I can be strong and i can cry some more.
When you lose a loved one or this world takes from you,
It is that i will cry, I am a man and any man can cry too.
To know that i can take care of everything i need in life,
When it’s time then i know it’s alright and that i can cry.
