Forevermore

We were the chosen ones to be slain,
Who were captured in war,
And died in vain.

We were the ones,
Mothers and such,
Who were strapped to bombs,
And held before guns.

Our cries drowned,
Our children bound,
No one was there to help.

Our freedom gone,
Our lovers lost,
What was the point to live?

You are the chosen to go to war,
To fight for our rights,
Forever more.

You have loved ones,
Wives and such,
Waiting for you to return,

We were the chosen,
You are the chosen,
What difference is there?

Every year,
There are wars,
With problems, people can’t bear.

Mothers, daughters and sons alike,
No one knows who to trust anymore.

Who is innocent?
Who is guilty?
What difference is there?

We’ve gone to war,
Far too long,
And where dose it get us?

Ruined homes,
Ruined lives,
People will never forget.

We were the chosen to be slain,
Who were captured in war,
And died in vain.

You and your ones,
Mothers and such,
Will be strapped to bombs,
And held before guns.

Your cries will be drowned,
Your children bound,
No one will be there to help.

Do we have to fight?
Is it worth the lives?
Are our souls still white?

Has it become a ritual?
Where when we hear “war”,
We know what to do?

Has it already become alright,
To kill those who pray,
And release those who fight?

Has it become ok,
To capture the good,
And do what with them we may?

Is the world evil?
Or has society changed?

Ruined homes,
Ruined lives,
People will never forget.

And this circle of play,
Will continue all night,
And go through the day.

And this circle of play,
Will last all month,
And our hearts will heavily weigh.

Who is innocent?
Me or you?

Who should die?
Me or you?

Who should live?
Us or them?

Four years move slow,
When you’re running away,
Or hiding deep in the ground.

Wouldn’t it be better if there were no wars?
Or at least five times fewer?

We were the chosen ones to be slain,
Who were captured in war,
And died in vain.

You are the chosen to go to war,
To fight for our rights,
Forever more.

You are the chosen to go to war,
To fight for your country,
Forever more.

Ruined homes,
Ruined lives,
People will never forget.

Forevermore.

Gift

Raindrops fall from the sky.
Stars shine from the heavens.
Snow blows off the mountains.
All gifts from God.

God sent me an angel.
That angel my darling is you.
The greatest gift of a love so true.
Who has stood by me my whole life through.

When this life on earth is past.
Through eternity, the gift of love will last.

Church

Church has always been her favorite place.
When she prays, tears of pearls stream down her face.
She has always known that love and God is the key.
To a good life that’s trouble free.

She has always loved God and Sunday School.
Spent her life living by the Golden Rule.
I thank her from the bottom of my heart.
For putting God and me first at the top of her chart.

I lied

I tried to protect you,
Cant you see,
I lied to you so you would stay safe.

I told you that I didn’t love you,
I told you that you weren’t good enough for me,
I told you that I never wanted to see you again.

But how could you believe me,
After all we went through,
I hope that one day I’ll find out,
That I lied to you.

Blessed

Our love is written in the stars.
Illuminating the universe from Mercury to Mars.
Our love is floating in the sky.
Dancing above the clouds so high.

Our love is sung by the wind.
Echoed by the thunder.
Caressed by the rain.
A thing of beauty and wonder.

Our love is touched by the sun.
Blessed by God.
Etched in the heart.
Destined to last forever from the start.

Queen

Her sweet voice echoes within the walls of my heart.
Her words vibrate in the rooms of my soul.
Her whisper gives me a sweet sensation.
Her laugh is my true elation.

She is the queen of my dreams.
In our castle of licorice and jelly beans.
Life is palm trees and beautiful sunsets.
A perfect surfing wave and a cool drink that’s wet.
