My Friend John

April 20, 2012

My friend John
Is never gone
Along with Carol
When I needed a friend
There was my friend John.

Showed the world
What men are made of
A true friend
My friend John.

All those memories
Are long gone
But not my friend
My friend John.

The body may wear
Give up and despair
But not the soul, the heart
Of a great, brave man
My friend John.

No remorse, no regrets
In this life he lives
Giving all for those
Surrounding, loving
My friend John.

Knowing you has been
A blessing
A treasure to behold
Thank you
My friend John.

Here I Am

September 28, 2011

Here I am in the land of uncertainty
Hesitating, doubting all I do.
Second guessing.
Not seeing the blessing
To have the choice to carry through
And make choices I have to do.

Make me strong and sure
Make me decisive
No longer in that hellish land
Of uncertainty
Not knowing what to do.
