A face we love is missing,
a voice we know is still,

a place is vacant in all our hearts,
that only you could fill.

Tears in our eyes,
they won't go away,
we wish you were here with us today.

We know you never meant to hurt us,
or to make us cry.
Our love for you will always stay,
if only things didn't end this way.

But now you've brought it to the final end,
I will always remember you as my friend.

Rest in peace till we meet to part no more







This was written about me by a friend...

Lioness or lamb

She scours the land
For the simplest of man
To walk hand in hand

With all of God's creatures
The Preachers
The Teachers
Over all corrupt Leachers

With guiless persuasion
In all the world's nations
Fleeting as condensation
Just mere infatuation

All alone so it seems
Oh, how her soul bleeds
Who can fill all her needs
Heart breaks in the reeds


He'll come from the New Sea
For only you his true beauty

He'll draw you in gently
With his heart down on one knee

He speaks eloquently
This knight from afar see
He comes with great dignity
To fall so completely

So take heart young temptress
Your soul's not a fortress
You'll waver in your regress
Cradled endless peace and rest



Portrait Of A Friend...

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.



I Need You With Me

Each night I try to go to sleep
But I find that all hopes are in vain
For I can't seem to get you out of my mind
Sometimes I feel I may go insane
I'll clench my fists and grit my teeth
But neither will get you near me
So I'll anxiously wait the next time I see you
So I can see and hear you as you can see and hear me
I walk around all day and can't seem to get you off my mind
Everything I see some way reminds me of you
And every time I think of you I find myself smiling
It's you that gets me past the hard things I go through
I'll fall asleep thinking about you
And then I'll see you in my dreams
We'll be holding hands and kissing
And well be together, or so it seems
Then I'll wake up and look to see you by my side
But then I'll see just an empty space
I'll close my eyes tight and wish with everything
That somehow I'll see your smiling face
I love you so much and thats the reason why
I always want to be holding your hand
And always want to be kissing your lips
But being without you, I just cant stand!
