someday

momma said don't worry child someday, it will all be better,
someday it's gonna be ok,
don't worry child someday's not to far away,
she held my hand and said one day there will be no sorrow,
yes one day, there will be no pain,
momma said someday, whoo-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ahhh,
ohhh, yes child, some sweet day....

suffer for strength

They say we suffer so that we can get stronger, to make us better for the journey ahead. After this life there is another journey, none of us know what's in store. If anyone was prepared for whatever lies next she will be ready, and I know full well that she will be waiting to welcome me with open arms when I arrive. Mother you were, are, and always will be my water, my air, my breath, my heart, the rhythm that keeps me flowing and the fluidity that gives me life. You helped guide me through this life and gave me the strength to be the man I have become. I know I made your job hard at times but you never showed wear, you always knew when and what I needed and were always there to provide. Your soul was weathered by many a storm but your heart fought on to give us all everything we needed to get through. We and this world owe you a debt that is unpayable for all that you provided and I only hope that you knew and carry with you to your next journey all the love that filled my heart. Until we meet in the next, I will dedicate this life to honoring you for everything. Love always your baby.

tears of sunshine

I woke up cold and the tears brought me warmth, it is only in love that comes sadness, only in love that comes joy, only love that breeds anger, and only love that brings tears, they are all a part of our beautiful journey, and on this journey we all to often get caught up in the details and lose focus of the center of it all which is love,

She suffers no more...

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,
She gave without taking, her love was so pure,
She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more,
She asked me not to cry, 
It was her time to go,
But inside her heart,
I knew that she know,
The tears would start pouring, 
As I watch her go,

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,
She gave without taking, her love was so pure,
She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more,

This road we all travel, littered with broken dreams,
Th web can get tangled, there's no end it seems,
Through it if we can find a hand, of which we can hold,
To find us light in the darkness, to bring us in from the cold,

She was our great keeper, she kept us all safe and warm,
Her heart fought right through them,
Each and every storm,

And now she's back to let her mother hold her,
Yes she suffers no more,

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,
She gave without taking, her love was so pure,
She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more,

And now with her passing, she left her suffering to me,
And I hope that I may one day grow into, 
The man she hoped I'd be,
And I'll give all I have without asking,
To honor her name,
And hope that one day my own children, will get to say the same...

She suffers no more, she suffers no more, through this life she has traveled, now the next ever more,
She gave without taking, her love was so pure,
She finally gave all, and now she suffers no more

one for the road...

But when in alone I start thinking
When i think I think about her
When I think about her, I think about me,
The me that done her wrong,

that's a man I'm not a fan of,
Lord knows I've tried to drown him,
But it seemed the more whiskey I fed him,
The more he just got strong,

So I went and put that bottle down,
went and turned my life around,
How I wish that she could see me now,
the man that I've become,

But sometimes I still get lonely,
And when I'm alone I get to thinking,
And I sure get tempted to just start drinking
And I just repeat this song,
