Just Holding Hands Under a Tree

I saw you today passing in the street
And I saw your face in my dreams last night
I don't know your name or where you're from
But I know the day I first saw you
And that's enough

Thunderstorm

On warm summer nights, as we sat contentedly on the couch

the clouds would sneak up on us.

The world lost its color, turning a cold and merciless black

while the clouds seemed to laugh at my cowering face

and you held me closer telling me I was safe.

The sky appeared to open, setting loose a bright flash

that reflected in my wide eyes peeking out from under your bed

and the deep thunder would rattle my bones,

my pounding heart almost drowning out the noise.

I remember you telling me it was the most beautiful thing in the world,

but I never once believed you.

One night, I peeked out the window while I held your hand tightly in my own

and we watched the sky perform its show together.

It was the most beautiful thing in the world.

Angel

Angel, Angel
Oh how you are so beautiful!
Your wings are feathered
Your gown is white
So clean and clear
And pure your white
A halo of glimmering gold
Is hanging above your curled hair
Your face is glass reflecting the sea
So shine and wave
And smile oh Sea
Flowers and beauty
Could not be better
Than the boy in the glowing gown
My angel, my reprieve

Angel, Angel
Oh how you are so kind!
You give thanks
Even where none is needed
Appoligize all the time
For what? I don't know
Your personality shines
So bright and glowing
And light your shine
You helped me up
When I was down
I think you just saved me
My soul is free
So thank you much
My angel, my safety

How Come You Need to Fall When You're In Love?

How come you need to fall when you're in love?
Can't you float or fly instead?

How come love needs to hurt you?
Can't it hold you with gentle arms?

How come boys are unreliable?
Can't they stay loyal and true?

How come girls can't see what boys do for them?
Can't they be grateful for who they have?

How come people change their minds so fast?
Can't they stay with their love forever?

How come your stomach hurts when your love has left?
Can't lost love be more like roses?

How come love has to be so complicated?
Can't it be easy?

How come you need to fall when you're in love?
I want to fly.

My Friend

I walk inside to see you sitting there.
Your tail begins to flick from side to side.
And nothing can break your expectant stare,
A gaze from which a mouse would want to hide.
But I begin to run to you and hold
Your soft and furry body to my chest
And from my cheek your whiskers brush the cold.
The  sun does not compare; you warm me best.
And when, too soon, it's time to say goodbye,
You follow as I step up to the door.
A single tear suspended in your eye,
Your body slumps in sorrow on the floor.
I stretch my hand to stroke your silky fur,
And one last time I feel your rumbling purr.

Pictures

Pictures show the love we felt
We see through the haze of what has been
We see John's old back-scratcher
The one he kept on that dusty old shelf
There's Sue's delicious apple pie
We smell the aroma once more
Little Tim is on the tractor
Look at his pudgy hands wave
Across the yard's a tire swing
It sways softly in the breeze
There's Aunt May's flower bed
She hated when we played gold miners
Charlie's got cake smeared on his face
That was his 3rd birthday
Lilly's beautiful face is smiling here
Next to strapping Bill, her husband
Dill's wearing a dark gray suit in this one
Preparing to meet his girlfriend
Silly Jimmy is blushing here
He got Mom's pudding on his jacket
Look there, it's me
I was so young and carefree
How did that sweet little voice
Turn into a grown-up like me?
