POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Can't help but smile
Even if it was only
for a little while
he melted our hearts
with that big ol smile
He stood taller than most men I've seen
and if mad,
man he was meaner than mean
He was smart, keen ,clean
and sharp as a tack
if you did him right
he'd forever have your back
He was a grizzly bear
with a lambs spirit
If you had to get
something off your chest
he'd be the first that wanted to hear it
He loved too much,
everything and everyone
this is true,
He'd give the shirt off his...

Out of the cold
When the winds of life
keep changing
The soul of the beast is alive
The whole world is waiting
On which way
your gonna decide
I feel it in my bones
We all got
some of that
devil inside
And the same
goes for the light
that saves our soul
Burning so bright
aint no way to hide
you wont catch me
digging my own hole
lll be damned
if I ever get too old
To find my way
out of the cold
I have to let go
of the pain ...

Im still here
He had his demons
the ones that kept him up at night
the kind of evil
only Darkness would bring to light
he would weep for the Forgotten
the Fallen and the ones left behind
he felt so broken, alone and scared
just longing for some peace of mind
I would listen with pain as he described his cause for grief
I would reach out and embrace him trying to offer some relief
I'd say
I'm right here
have no fear you
don't have to do this alone
remember you're not on your own
you can always count on me ...

"Would he do it again"
There was a time,
he didn't have a thought about life
No opinions on what happened
good or bad
no choice on what to do or how to feel happy or sad
It was a dark time in his young life adulthood was forced upon him
at a very young age
his emotions had to remain hidden
he masked his pain
and suppressed the rage
His own well-being wasn't the only
he had to look after
For 3 little Angels depended on his care watching over them, keeping them safe
that's just how it was
for him life wasn't fair ...

Ready for the show
So much life
in a lifetime
Its plain to see
Theres not to many
different than mine
In A world full of questions
Like do We all belong here
for a reason,
And Who really knows
what waits for us in the end,
Well let me share something
with you my friend,
Just look in
the mirror
Maybe you'll
see a bit clearer
See that you're not the first
that hopes for the best
and
prepares for the worst
I promise You're not the only one
who feels...

'Feel inside'
I know the beat
Keeping my head up
putting out a reason
for me
To make it thru a time
Thats so tough
Finding someway
for my soul to heal,
With only a feeling
Oh with a healing
that I wanna feel!
Just set me up
with that sweet
soooound
So these blues
no they wont
hold me
doooown
Pass me some
of the good stuff
let me go son
and ill
Make the rest upppp
Stand back
Watch me burn
Pay close...

Many different strokes
Ive been told
by some I'm a rambler,
To many I'm known
a weary eyed
wanderlusting traveller,
and by a few others
I was lucky enough
to be called their brother
Ive spent my life
as a firm believer,
Of enjoying my time
as an easy
peaceful dreamer...
Always Looking to the stars
for the light to guide my heart
And help me On my way,
With the faith and love
to lean on
i never have
too far to stray.

Jesus like cash
I've never sang in one of them old Honky Tonks
Can't say I have paid the cost,
Of what them great Cowboys lost,
while out punching the trail
cuz I've never done it myself
But theres something about me
since i was a child
Cant help the feeling of being free
n running wild
Roaming the plains,
really living lifes game ,
blowing across the land
like an old dusty tumbleweed
idk why its just something
my soul seems to need
Keep your eyes to...

My sons My sons!
My sons My sons
My beautiful baby boys,
First Connor and Stetson
And now Baby Everett
Each, my little bundle of joys
You each have opened my eyes
And made me realize I had it all wrong
The road I was on, and my way of life
Wasn't where it needed to be all along.
The person I had become
The individual I could see
I knew he had to go, I had to change
To the man I I needed to be
The choice was simple
No other option was left
For my fright was now gone
And my heart you have since kept ...

Humble Man
The things I've seen
And the places I've been
Are not for the faint of heart,
Could lead any sane man
To a life of sin;
Its a weight I carry
Each day and Every night,
It may not look like it
But deep down its a constant fight;
A battle between good and evil
A constant War of right and wrong,
It would be so easy to just give up
Yet i strive to survive
Im just trying to remain strong;
As the years pass
My mind and soul begin to age,
The book that represents this life
Gain...

My Dog and me
The year was 1993'
Walking down the street,
just my dog and me
I was a little big man
at only 14 ..
I was hell bent
to make it on my own
mighta been
just a boy,
but man let me tell ya
that boy
sure thought he was grown...
And lord he wasn't alone....
Nowhere bound
headed outta town,
told my self
least you aint
in the lost and found,
aint no good life
living like that,
no way in hell
I'm ever going back
I'll go...

Better man
In all the years ive been alive'
Havent found the answers
or even how
to ask the big man why,
is it where ive been,
could it be ive seen so much sin
And the heartach
ive drug myself through.
Time after time, pain on top of pain
After i almost gave up everything.
Then he led me to you.
Ain it Funny
how a man
can think hes got it all figured out,
when truth is he knows nothing about
, the things you just cant see,
until you...
