When I wake in early morn,
Each time the day is new.
I thank the Lord that you were born,
As I'll die loving you.
...
A friend to light a candle
When darkness overcomes.
A friend to hold you closer
When distant thunder drums.
...
In all worthwhile endeavors,
No matter size or scope.
It shall either have a life,
Or die, a thing called hope.
...
Oh Lara, let me tell you
If I may, this one more time,
How much I really love you,
In poetry and in rhyme.
...
Of all the lessons learned in life
By every creed in turn,
Acceptance is the costliest
Mankind has had to learn.
...
I sat in a circle of angels.
A place I had not been before.
I heard the sweet choir of Heaven,
Sing praise to the Lord evermore.
...
Twas once upon a time I stood
Nearby the sounding sea.
By the man, who loved the maiden.
Beautiful, Annabel Lee.
...
I burned them all to ashes,
The things you used to say.
I guess you didn't write them down,
So you'd avoid this day.
...
She's the darling of the woodland,
And I seek her endlessly.
In the mountains fields and meadows,
Searching every bush and tree.
...
