I Watched You Grow

I watched you grow

so fast

so fast

And wondered

how I could stop time

Because I love you

too much

too much

To let you blossom

bigger than my arms

But you are

my sun

my sun

In the darkest of days

And you make me happy

all the seconds of every day.

Happy Birthday My Little One

We Become

Faith, Hope, Charity

With these, I believe humanity

has a chance to stay alive

 

Charity, Faith, Hope

Sometimes shaken to the core

– a fight to survive

 

We become [Boston] strong.

Hold That Smile

happy toddler run with ballstop

right there

freeze the time

I want you to

hold that smile

for me

smile

I need to remember

the dancing light in your eyes

as the wind tousles your hair

and carries your laughter

to my heart

I need to remember

this joy in my soul

this feeling of content

that life is beautiful

just the way it is

stop

right there

freeze the time

I want you to

hold that smile

for me

smile

Bright / Dark

Standing on the
edge of sorrow
looking to tomorrow

Should I just jump
and fly a little
before the end comes near?

The mist is thick
The way unclear
All alone with my fears

The horizon
spread out beneath
my every hope and dream

Where is the light –
that bright beacon –
to pierce a soul so dark?

Should I just jump
and fly a little
before the end comes near?
