My soldiers gone away
I used to have a soldier
That protected me all day
But now I’m lost and scared
Because my soldiers gone away
I’m lonely and alone
And within me I will hide
Because I’m too afraid
Without him at my side
The people they all hurt me
When they tear me down
My soldier use to help me
With his protection all around
I feel as though in fire
And it’s causing me to burn
I don’t know if ill want to live
If my soldier can’t return

Daughter in laws who have no appreciation, frequently forget that they themselves will one day be THE Mother in law.
Blood boiling, anger rising, seething coming from the mouth, ready to place hands around neck and squeeze the life out letting it ooze to the floor where it will seep past the floor boards being sucked in by the soil and drip ever so rapidly into hell where it belongs.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A woeful scream piercing the darkness unheard
A soul ripped away with the sound of tearing flesh
An empty space cold and dark
No tears for the non existant
A shell of bone and flesh walking to the grave
The darkness calls
No fight no fear
Death is the sanctuary
The end is peace.
To know her, you must know them
Each an individual, and yet they are one
One who lives as if in light
soft, sweet, honest and shy
One lives as if in dark
hard, mean, dishonest and sly
Each one living independently
her own way of life
while the other slumbers
as though it were night
all family and friends are so unaware
that she's not just one
but these two are a pair.
If I could have
just one wish
I'd put a daughter
on my list
like you she'd have
a heart of gold
kind and sweet
brave and bold
Like you she'd have
and open ear
compassion, love
and little fear
Like ME I think
you'd love her too
because for a daughter
I'd settle for
no less than YOU
for my beautiful new daughter inlaw AMANDA
Just a face with out a name
visioned through a crowd
a firm but simple body
standing there so proud
walking through not knowing
what my future holds
when the name less face approaches
and a new life now unfolds
walking as though in a haze
that seems as just a dream
life could never be this good
or so it only seems
the face now has a name
and what seemed a dream now faded
life with him is more wonderful
then those dreams had ever painted
There is this thing called DEATH
that walks among us all
waiting for us to make that trip
down that darkened hall
It doesnt sneak up from behind
or drop down from above
it walks up to us face to face
and professes all its love
It feels that we belong to it
when our time has come
it takes most quickly from this earth
and slowly it takes some
Dont be afraid to go along
for darkness you will leave
just walk on through that hall with DEATH
and its heaven were youll soon be.
