In
the shadows of dawn . . .
At
the keyboard all alone –
Thoughts
racing in my mind
I
have nothing but time!
O
the words I try to form –
It
seems my spirit is torn . . .
Thoughts
from long ago
Of
a love I used to know!
It’s
funny the paths we take
My
mind is barely awake –
Thinking
of a dream I had,
And
remembering I was sad!
In
the shadows of dawn . . .
You
won’t leave me alone!

In
the shadows
Where
darkness will hide
Or
in a proud heart
Where
arrogance can reside!
Mere
temperament you say,
It’s
just being a man!
(But
pride goeth before the fall)
Meekness
we must understand!
“I’ll
get mine!”
Whatever
the cost –
It’s
the ego we must feed
Money
makes us the boss!
Darkness
hides in a soul,
And
it’s God they never know!

Every
day we can do a good deed,
Try, it’s not that hard!
When
helping others we succeed,
Try, it’s not that hard!
Then
the Lord will draw so near,
And
then one’s heart will feel glad,
Helping
others feels so dear!
Try, it’s not that hard!
Storms
of life affects us all –
None of us are immune!
Upon
the Lord we all will call,
None of us are immune!
Today
we have the world by the tale,
And
tomorrow one’s heart is sad,
In
a flash things can turn to hell!
I know, I have been there!
Storms
of life will call us out –
I know, I have been there!
Do
a good deed – let others shout!

In
the stillness – I hold you near,
And
it’s your touch that is so dear!
Never
let go – hold me tight!
Lost
in the shadows of night –
In
the silence our hearts pound
It’s
your passion I have found!
In
your eyes there is a light
That
guides my soul at night –
In
your bed is the perfect place
That
reflects love on your face!
O
your kisses are so sweet,
And
I love it when our toes meet!
Never
let go – hold me tight!
It’s
only here, my world is right!

Hear
the whispers of your soul
Of
these words that you were told:
“There
will come a time to die,
And
only then you will know why!”
So,
it matters not what you own
But
God will never leave us alone!
Everyone
has an appointed time
(So,
let that sink into your mind!)
It
all started the day we were born,
But
I guess we were never warned!
Young
with the world by the tale –
Roses
we never stopped to smell!
Hear
the whispers of your soul:
“A
time will come – this we know!”

Have
you ever felt like a caged Canary?
People
act like Moe, Curry, and Larry!
I
know sometimes I can even be a little contrary,
But
enduring stupidity – the brain will tarry!
Look
around! Look at this world . . .
It
makes your brain want to twirl!
Some
weirdo named his girl Earl –
And
I saw a guy at Walmart dressed like a girl!
Wrong
becomes right, and right becomes wrong,
But
remember, it all starts at home!
We
should never leave our kids alone –
Absence
of direction will set its own tone!
Have
you ever felt like a caged Canary?
Our
world today leaves the heart weary!

As
I sit and hold your hand
I
hope you understand –
I
will never make a demand
I’m
just a broken man!
All
these feelings I hold . . .
You
just simply need to know –
It’s
this broken heart I show
I
hope I’m not being too bold?
More
than these words can say,
And
all the games I’ve played –
And
the times I’ve been afraid,
But
darling this is a new day!
As
I sit and hold your hand
Please
forgive this broken man!
