Childhood
Oh the times when I was carefree and wild, Seen through the eyes of a once child. Watching my baby boy learn and play, reminds me of a long ago day. To hear him laugh at my smile, Reminds me I've traveled a few mile. From that long ago time of youth and wonder, days of playing like a pirate waiting to plunder. How can I show him all the good in the world, When I want to keep him in my arms, curled? Should I follow my dreams, or remember my past, While watching my boy grow up so fast? Watching him play, my heart grows and swells. Yet I remember past fun and my smile fell, For life is hard and I miss childhood, how much I long to return if I could! I worry about his life and inevitable pain, Sometimes coming like the torrent rain. I long to see years of smiles from him, Watching them play, his father and him. EAM 200 |
Open Road
for life to say its time.The road lays open before me, like a gaping wound. How can I face the music, when I already know the tune? My journey spreads before me, like waves beyond the sand. The hands of time trudge ever onward, Leaving me behind To face the pain inside. Doomed from breath of life, Alone in pools of sadness, Emptied by the tears. How can I play this game again, Knowing there's no end? Looking for the peaceful times, the ones we never had. The sun stuck in limbo, forgotten why its there. Not knowing if its time to shine, afraid to show its glow. Darkness threatens life itself, storms rise in my mind. Wanting pain to ease my cries, Scared to follow the tide. Lost admist a world of lies Looking for myself. Ever waiting for my joy, EAM 2003 |
