The Army Wife

Some days her mind is strong
Some days her heart is weak
It is those times of defined distress
Of which she cannot speak

She worries in her silence
Sometimes bathing in her fear
Fighting away negativity
Every moment he's not near

The role of Mommy and Daddy
Is one she often has to play
Letting him down is not a choice
Her stauchness will not sway

While he stands for his country
She will stand for them
Loving, praying, waiting
She will do anything for him

She cluthes the phone to her side
Always waiting for his call
A thing that means the world to her
And yet it is so small

The normalcy she seeks to find
Begins to slowly slip away
The memory of his sweet voice
Is starting to decay

Loving, praying, waiting
The common of her life
As she stands among the silent ranks
Know as the Army wife.

Goodbye Home

Lord please help me
so I don't kill my mutts
I have to do something
they're driving me nuts

My walls were all white
and now they are black
from all the dirt
they brought in from out back

I just cleaned the carpet
and now it is filled with dirt
If they aren't more careful
they're gonna get hurt

Pete will eat anything
off the table or floor
if that damn dog keeps eating
he'll munch the earth to its core

Bruno keeps shedding
there is hair everywhere
Sometimes I'm half tempted
to shave his ass bare

We put in a new fence
to try and stop those two
but Pete went underneath
and Bruno climbed right through

These dogs are tearing
my home right apart
Curse my conscience
and my big ol' heart

I love them so much
and I would miss them so
Say goodbye to my home
cause my dogs will not go.

My Life

My home isn't spotless
but my kids always smile
instead of sweeping the floor
I play a game for a while

Hide and go seek
under a pile of clothes
a game of Simom says
where anything goes

Sitting down with my daughter
to play Mario three
tickling my son
while he laughs at me

Every where I look
there are kids, dogs, and toys
and the walls that surround us
are filled with constant noise

I love my life and my family
and wouldn't have it any other way
I thank the lord for my children
when I wake every day

While the clutter piles up
the love does too
in the dust in my home
I write I Love You

I Wish

I wish that I had all the answers
so I could give them to you
why is there nothing in a hole
and why is the sky so blue

I wish that I could keep you close
and always guard your heart
help you find your one true love
and let you never be apart

I wish that I could ease your fears
and keep you free from fright
and if by chance you do get scared
hold you until it's alright

All the lessons you'll learn in life
I wish I could teach you I'll admit
But that's one thing my dear son
that will come as the Lord sees fit

There is one thing you'll always have
and as you grow you'll see
no matter what happens through your life
My baby, you will always have me.

The Reason

The reason I tell you
that the answer is no
is I need to protect you
as you develop and grow

The reason I say to
do your chores every day
is so you'll be responsible
when you're grown and moved away

The reason I make you
study so hard
is so you'll always be seen
in the highest regard

The reason I want you
to share all your things
is so you'll know the joys
that true kindness can bring

The reason I give you
all of my love
is because you're mommy's angel
sent from the Lord above.

How Would It Be

I sit and wonder
how would it be
if you were here now
just to be with me

How would I feel
if God answered my prayer
and let you hold me close
so I know you still care

How would it sound
if your voice ran through my ears
thinking I could talk to you
brings me straight to tears

How would it smell
if the air was filled with your colonge
would it be like you were here with me
or would I fell all alone

How would it look
to see my kids on your lap
or lying on your chest
while you take a nap

All of these things
I would love to know
if just for a moment
then I'd let you go

But I will never find out
and it hurts me so bad
my kids have no Grandpa
and I have no Dad.

Rest in Peace

To Terri Schiavo:


Rest In Peace



You're stuck inside your mind
The only one to hear your cries
No one can see your pain
Your emotion's in disguise

Your wrenching stomach begs
for a morsel of nutrition
Disposing of this burden
seems to be his only mission

Your parents are begging and pleading
Do not take their precious child
Through the highest of the courts
they feel belittled and reviled

Your hunger pangs are worsening
as your body quickly fades
The nation's growing angrier
with their protests and tirades

Although I know it hurts you so
this will soon come to an end
a family forever damaged
hearts unable to amend

I bow my head and pray for you
May all this madness cease
Spread your wings sweet angel
May you forever rest in peace
