That One Moment

That One Moment

Moment by moment

Day by day

Year by year

Time passes

We are not able to stop it

Or even slow its passing

So we grumble and complain

Asking where did the time go

But we look back

Seeing moments long gone

Most times in fondness

As long as we know that one moment is there

The one we cannot live without

We do not mind the flow

We cannot live without it

Even if it is just for the single moment

Summer Will Return

Summer Will Return

Summer is nearly gone

Only a few days left

And the Sun will pass the equator

Pools will empty

And parkas will come out

Replacing the swimsuits

While the days continue to shorten

Memories will remain

Of the Summer just pass

But remember

Always remember Summer will return

A Lost Girl

A Lost Girl

She spent her life

Hiding in the shadows

She never knew who she was

She was only someone’s daughter

She knew so many things

Could do so much

But, no one encouraged her

So, she faded away

Locking away the person she was

No one ever saw that beautiful girl

No one knew what she had to offer

And the talents that were lost

After so many years she died alone

That was a sad moment for the world

But no one ever cried

Fly My Children

Fly My Children

My children

I have loved you for so long

From the moment I first saw you

You changed and grew

Became more beautiful every day

Spreading your wings

The time finally came

And you were free to live your lives

So, fly away into your future

And become who you were meant to be

Password To My Heart

Password To My Heart

I have kept to myself

My heart locked away

Avoiding any pain

I was happy with that

Then I met you

With your perfect smile

And your haunting heart

You saw right into me

The locks I set up

Designed to keep you away

But you looked

Saw my deepest secret

And, without a single word

You guessed my heart’s password

And you opened the locks

One by one they all fell away

At that moment you entered my soul

And I fall in love you

Freckles

Freckles

Who told you that you weren’t pretty

That your skin had to be completely flawless

You have so much unique about you

The freckles you have are you

No matter what they say

There is something special about you

An inner and outer beauty that everyone sees

So, the makeup they sell you only hides you

And you really have no reason to hide

Every freckle you have is the touch of an angel

A sign that Heaven has blessed you

And it was given at the second of your creation

So, wear your “imperfections” with pride

Because that is the way God wanted you to be

The American DJ

The American DJ

A lifetime ago

We had friends all night long

Living all over the AM dial

They played all music

Anything we wanted

All we had to do was call

Free concert tickets

Cheap little prizes

Or maybe some spending cash

We never slept

Especially on the weekends

We listened all night long

Calling in to win

Or maybe just to talk

They were always willing to listen

Then they all just vanished

Became extinct like the dinosaurs

But, the American DJ will be missed

Even if no one is old enough to remember them
