When at the end of my
closing day

Let not the sound of sad
...

Golden strands of hair moved by a gentle breeze blue
eyes with depth as the seven
seas
She walks in moon light across the meadows and into
...

...

When you serve your country and you feel
so alone

Remember brave soldier it's to late to come
...

The tears that are falling tonight is just another way of
saying I love you still
Tears turned silver in the last rays of light is just another way
of saying I love you still
...

I walked by were you lived years ago there's
nothing there now just empty space
I look back through the yesteryears standing
where I stood years ago I still see your face
...

A stranger tried to revive her but to
no avail
A stranger stopped to help but all
efforts failed
...

There are no shadows in the darkest
night
For a shadow to be there must be
light
...

Darkness surrounds no light found in
this abyss
Tortured screams nightmare dreams
demons kiss
...

I have never seen the light of
day
I have never seen my brother and sister
play
...

My future is captive of my
past
Across each day a dark shadow
cast
...

The reason for love broken
Are many words left unspoken
My day of love the sun grows dim
Never again will I speak of him
...

Lord you know I can't read or
write
I hope you can understand my
plight
...

Life like a scorpion has hurtful
stings
Some days life carries us on eagles
wing
...

Different sizes different shapes some of granite
some of stone
Standing with many but feeling
alone
...

Wells without water clouds without
rain
You boast of great things
There is no change
...

I stand looking at a rainbow I am
in disarray

Confusion and chaos untethered rules
...

Standing at the depot waiting for the
midnight train

So deep in thought I hardly notice the
...

When my appointed time shall come and my life's
work on earth is done

My Lord shall lay me down to rest and I shall awaken
...

In their home a white candle
burns

A young wife waits for her husbands
