Winding Road

 Stumbling down the path of life,

With twists and turns, joy and strife

Every step a story told

lessons learned and truths unfold

Mountains high and valleys low,

Through it all, we learn and grow

Life's a journey, a winding road,

In every moment, a tale bestowed

Oh, this winding road, we'll make it grand

Paris, Rome, or distant land

Together forever we'll embrace

Back to back or face to face

With you my love with you my friend

The journey forward has no end,

The dreams we seek, the thoughts we send

We'll move mountains, again and again

Hand in hand, we face the unknown,

A future sculpted from seeds we've sown

New horizons, dreams we chase, at our own determined pace

Every challenge, a chance to rise, reflected in our hopeful eyes

From busy cities to tranquil shores,

Adventures knocking upon our doors

Oh, this winding road, we'll make it grand

Paris, Rome, or distant land

Together forever we'll embrace

Being back to back or face to face

Together we'll embrace each day

Reflect on life come what may

With you, my friend,  journey's never end,

We'll move mountains, again and again

No destination is set in stone,

Our open hearts and spirits grown

With every mile, a memory made,

Colorful tapestry’s on display

Through summers warmth or misty gray,

We'll find more strength along the way

Oh, this winding road, we'll make it grand

Paris, Rome, or distant land

Together we'll embrace each day

Reflect on life come what may

With you, my friend, journey's never end

We'll move mountains, again and again

Hand in hand, we face the unknown,

A future sculpted from seeds we've sown

New horizons, dreams we chase, at our own determined pace

Every challenge, a chance to rise, reflected in our hopeful eyes

Stumbling down the path of life,

With twists and turns, joy and strife

Every step a story unfolds,

lessons learned and truths are told

Paper Round

 Aint it funny how everything we love

 Fades away like that wispy cloud above

Aint it peculiar how a warm summers day

Can be followed by rain and dismal grey

I'm not certain if love can last forever

Unless we pay installments on the never never

Have the fortunate never wept or cried

Are there victims so honest and never lied

As a child were you taught then told

That you were hated and left out in the cold

Did the punishments ever really fit the crime

Were you beaten down then had to pay a fine

Did your parents bring you up the right way

Were you silent and never allowed to say

Anything that maybe wasn't true 

Was your existence sometimes sad but forever blue

Not allowed out to play or see your friends

Cast in solitude  until the bitter end

When they decided they needed an errand run

You the enemy" became the chosen one

As a child were you taught then told

That you were hated and left out in the cold

Did the punishments ever really fit the crime

Were you beaten down then had to pay a fine

I guess a deposit refund was never on the cards

Paper rounds and task were somewhat hard

I hated getting up so god dam early

Delivering News before school was surely

Not a good way to prepare for the day

I hated the Bag the weight and pitiful pay

As a child were you taught then told

That you were hated and left out in the cold

Did the punishments ever really fit the crime

Were you beaten down then had to pay a fine

It was dark when I woke at five

Never felt good to be awake or alive

Those times are still with me today

But if I'm asked how I am " I say ok"

How are you how are you

Yes ok I'm fine thank you 

How are you? You stop and say

Yes I'm fine on this beautiful day

Hmmmmm Hmmmmm Hmmmmm Hmm Hmmm Hmm Hmm

Yes I'm fine thank you today

No paper round for me today

October Ghost n Ghouls

Down in the basement where the mice run about

There’s a big hairy monster that’s freaking me out

He makes a sound that could wake up the dead

It’s piercing my ears and gets inside my head

Shhhhh,! Shhhhh!

Can you hear the scratching on my basement wall

Am I imagining as I creep into the hall

Lights flicker on and off as they dance upon the night

Oh my !oh my! oh my! oh my!  This is giving me a fright.

October brings out Ghost and Ghouls on this day each year

Scratching at the Windows " Filling me with fear

Monster in the basement, shadow in the dark

Eyes that glow red like a dragon’s fiery spark

Screams howl around the air within a chilling breeze

Haunting every corner so no one is at ease

Every step sounds like a thunder clap within a quiet room

Echoing all its danger and immediate doom

I think I saw him lurking in the corner near the wall

I swear his breath was acid green and stood over six foot tall

October brings out Ghost and Ghouls on this day each year

Scratching at the Windows " Filling me with fear

My heart is racing with the fear of Halloween and terror

The spiders maze of cobwebs silky, strong and clever

The Monster in the basement must be playing tricks

I need to find some courage to hit it with my lego bricks

Afraid of playing in this dark and spooky game

Someone’s Calling out for me yeah shouting out my name

With a voice so loud, deep and grim

I don't want to be the monsters next victim

October brings out Ghost and Ghouls on this day each year

Scratching at the Windows " Filling me with fear

When I think it’s over and I see the light of day

I hear the sound of laughter, and it gives the game away

Down in the basement, from whence I had just fled

I realize the monster was just inside my head.

Wooo wooo woooo wooo do you hear that sound

I can hear a cackle and laughter all around

Three Little Words

You knocked on my door at a quarter past eight,

You turned and said, "Hey, let’s go out on a date."
I got so excited, saying "yea why not"
A date seemed perfect, well worth a shot.

I felt so nervous, but heaven knows why,
My heart was trembling from the butterflies
Every glance we shared, love filled the air,
Moments that passed felt like truth or dare.

My heart skipped a beat as we walked hand in hand,
Using our fingers drawing hearts in the sand.
The mood said it all when you whispered in my ear,
The three little words I’d been longing to hear.

You made me blush when down on one knee,
Presented a ring and asked, "Will you marry me?"
Showing your feelings and with the rings bright glow
With all the love in my heart how could I ever say no?

The moment you asked the world fell away
It’s just you and me come what may
I’ll walk with you we'll build a bright new story
Our light will shine like a heavenly glory

While time danced softly through our hands,
Having high hopes and many future plans
Wearing your ring our new life begins
No longer dashed hopes floating in the wind

My heart skipped a beat as we walked hand in hand,
Using our fingers drawing hearts in the sand.
We smiled face to face as we said “I do”
And those three little words “ I love you”

So were standing here , with a love pure and true,
Hands entwined now,  just me and you.
With our future and dreams yet to be told
With a life time of memories for us to behold

My heart skipped a beat as we walked on by
Seeing a cloud shape above in the sky
No longer single and never to part
The shape we saw was our one true heart

With laughter and joy, forever we will be,
A love story written, just for you and for me.
Those three little words said honest and true
Three little words…..”I love you”

No longer casting our hopes in the wind
Together at last a love without end

My heart skips a beat while hand in hand

Forever our hearts drawn in the sand

Hand in Hand yeah more than friends

Our love will mature and never end

My heart skips a beat while hand in hand

Forever our hearts drawn in the sand
