It's a beautiful morning since I've seen you
The sun is warming my heart all the way through
You raise my awareness as I look for emotion
In a selfish need, I try to catch every notion
...

Here is to a beauty I want to know
She stirs my desire and sense to grow
I want all things good when she's around
No short term resolutions are abound
...

A mother's love, what can more truly be said
It is more deeply ingrained than the reddest red
No more righteous truth and such a blessing
It is a bond that grows still beyond her passing
...

To just be around Diane, by God I was graced
When for a few years at school I was placed
She was outgoing, smart, and thought very fast
I learned late that she had passed
...

I remember the day God came from the sky
And put your loving sunshine in my eye
You were placed in the depths of my soul
Unknowing how enmeshed and at what a toll
...

This is a toast to life as mine
May you raise your glass for me on high
And say on the day that I die
'Send me on my way and smile
...

I didn't get to see you today
You brighten my day in every way
When I see you in just a glance
My heart races and starts to dance
...

I see a sparrow on my window sill
I'm just a reach away from touching its quill
Though I would wan to touch
I know I'm not fast enough
...

I loved your being today
Though you weren't here in person to play
I soared so high to love your soul
God said yes for my love to show
...

You are a total sensory overload
That blinds my eyes on a darkened road
One that chokes and narrows my throat
And makes my mind dream, disassociate and float
...

Waking up when the train hit the crossing a half a mile away
Hopping out of bed to step on that cold wooden floor
Were some of the most enjoyable, stable, loving days
That any child growing up would adore
...
