Boy Child

Boy Child (for my new grandson TyRhys - 22/2/14)

Helpless boy child

On one so much depends

A straight line before you

Unclear of life's bends

Upon your own journey

Be honest and true

So your path is a good one

And hurdles are few

When age ascends  

With its mountains to climb

Don't try to rush forward 

You have plenty of time

So be yourself

Keep eyes open to see

And end as the man

That you wanted to be

A Test of Faith

A Test of Faith 

All gods men have been tested

As disciples must prove all their worth

They were given a life not belonging to them

But for others put here on this earth 

A faith that is tested to limit

One that is pushed to the lengths it will go

A true believer will face his god

When accomplished his saviour will know

When an angel is gifted an illness

It is a trial they need to go through

It's a trying time that will test the strength

Of a heart that was given as true

One will embrace this test that is placed on him

And for a man that has given his all

Well... I believe that this special soul

Will be ready and welcome his call

Because he has gained many that love him

As he has spent a whole life giving love

And if god should be seeking the worthiest soul

Then prepare for your greatest above

Fear the Warning

Fear the Warning

Fear the warning

She is making a stand

No army can stop her

No timing is planned

She will raise her waters

No designated course

Waves will devour us

Without any remorse

We have taken much

Given nothing in return

The evidence proven...

Yet we never learn

An ending is certain

But when will it come?

The guardian of earth

Shall surprise everyone

Fear the warning

We have all let her down

And as creatures before us

We too will all drown

As only a cleansing...

Can replenish and cure

Renewing a planet

As she was before

Before the illness

Before the pain

To remove the hurt

She must start again

So the seas will rise

And as waves roll near

The ending is written

The guardian... is here

Father to Son

Father to Son

I see me in you...
Although that boy... He wasn't  loved like you
He wore eyes like yours that would brightly shine
You even carry a heart... As i once carried mine!
You... The absolute strength in me
I wonder who you'll turn out to be?
I have faith in you... to do all that you can
To be an honest and hard working man
You... A son and a fathers pride
Can walk through your  life without having to hide
As you were needed... You helped save this soul
And you are my ultimate goal
One in which i'll support 'til end
A son that a father can call a friend
As you filled my life... Bringing so much joy
Repairing this once broken boy

Letting Go

Letting Go 

How does a father let his daughter go?

When did she grow? 

"Hmm... I don't know"

When did she spread her wings to fly away?

Was she not tiny... Just yesterday!

How does a father just release her hand?

"It's a hard, hard life

... Does she understand?"

Will she find home in places she shall live? 

What advice does a father give!

When did another man fill her heart?

Take my world...

Pull us apart

He, who loves the woman that I do not see

This child that had needed me

Yet once I, was so little too... and I needed to be set free!

Free to roam... Free to learn... Free to find the man in me

But... 

How does a father let her walk that road

Not there to take her hand... and hold

See her through miles where even he did fail

When he walked his chosen trail

All that I pray is... "Please watch over her...

Be her guide... comfort her"

And if she should need a place... At anytime

"Her home... is this heart of mine"

Where Flowers Bloom

Where Flowers Bloom

Follow the trail... scattered with red

Walk on the petals of roses now dead

Tiptoe the pathway that reaches ahead

Weaving its way to the silk of the bed

We shall spend the whole night in a ravenous kiss

Get lost in the deepest and tranquil abyss 

When wrapped in a moment on nights like this

Darkness transforms itself into bliss

In this time that I spend which I have at your side

In this space where our two worlds were meant to collide...

Is the happiness one life was always denied

And the reason we both chose to hide

As a night blessed by stars so softly and soon

Light drips from the sun... That it stole from the moon

These red sheets enclose us inside our cocoon

And the lovers are ready to bloom

In That Moment At That Time

In That Moment... At That Time 

I saw you in tatters

An angel without wings

I knew in an instant

What love brings, as you...

Gazed in my direction too

And you... Saw me in tatters too

And nothing else mattered

In that moment at that time

As I knew that I was yours 

Like I knew your heart was mine

All surroundings would blur... Except your sollen face

Nothing but beauty

And grace...

And you... You shone like stars in the sky

And you... Made every low seem so high

And nothing seemed to matter 

In that moment at that time

Stealing my heart was just...

The easiest crime

You dressed yourself in sunshine

And just placed your lips on mine

And I was captured in that moment at that time
