You could have gave up
but you chose to be a mother
You were used to free living
but now they call you mom
you traded drugs and dreams
for childrens hugs & Kisses
instead of being wild and free
you gave it your all
I thank the lord everyday
you are my childrens mother.
Dedicated to Brittany Lorraine Young
6 A.M and Damyan's wakin’ up
Rolls outta bed with sleepy eyes
Goes to his sister’s room across the hall
“Hey Elly rise and shine”
He pours two bowls full of Captain Crunch
Puts a fresh pot of coffee on
He wakes his momma up off the couch
"The bus is here, we love you mom"
He made the breakfast
He did the dishes
So she wouldn’t have to
Oh he’s only ten
Just comin’ of age he oughta be out playin’ ball
And video games
Climbin’ trees
Or on a bike
just ridin’ around
But it’s hard to be a kid
When you’re the man of the house
It’s late at night and Larry King is on
Momma’s up on the couch again
Damyan hears them all talk about
That awful war his daddy’s in
So he runs off, straight up to his room
Don’t want his momma to see him right now
He climbs in bed and says a silent prayer
Then he cries his little blue eyes out
Don’t wanna let her down
Oh he’s only ten
Just comin’ of age he oughta be out playin’ ball
And video games
Climbin’ trees
Or on a bike
just ridin’ around
But it’s hard to be a kid
When you’re the man of the house
It’s finally Saturday
Damyan gets a phone call
Another world away from home
He says, “I love you dad”
Daddy says it right back
“Wish I could reach through this phone
And hug you, and Elly, and your mom
I’m so proud of you son.”
He’s only ten
Just comin’ of age he oughta to be out playin’ ball
And video games
Climbin’ trees
Or on a bike
just ridin’ around
But it’s hard to be a kid
When you’re the man of the house
It’s 6 A.M and Damyan’s wakin’ up
Rolls outta bed with sleepy eyes
Dedicated to those who i love the most
Today I am being asked to give you away but I never owned you.
Today I am asked to set you free from me but your Freedom you were born with.
I have given you a lot and I'v not given you alot. I hope you understand.
So while I am giving you away here are some more gifts:
All the comfort and protection I am capable of whether I am in this body or not
My very best wishes for your personnel fulfillment
A sparkle on the water, a song from a bird, a soft breeze on your face, some star-shine and some moon-glow. These aren't mine to give but neither are you.
I WANT to die whileyou love me,
While yet you hold me fair,
While laughter lies upon my lips
And lights are in my hair.
I want to die while you love me,
And bear to that still bed,
Your kisses turbulent, unspent
To warm me when I’m dead.
I want to die while you love me
Oh, who would care to live
Till love has nothing more to ask
And nothing more to give!
I want to die while you love me
And never, never see
The glory of this perfect day
Grow dim or cease to be.
DEDICATED TO: BRITTANY lORRAINE YOUNG
i lie awake again, drowning in sin, as i hide behinde this smile you see,
dosen beer bottles on the bed room floor, once i had love, now i beg for more, close my eyes and then i cry, and pray to God that i'm never gonna die, showed the world and proved my love, prayed to the stars and the heavens above, gave it my all, tried my best, packed my bags and ill take my mess, all i see is the door closing behind me, this pain inside please set me free, how i wish i could open my eyes, get out from under these feeble lies.
i am still awake, this pain i cannot take, the smile on my face seems to fade away.
count one by one shadows on my wall, just to close my eyes and watch them fall, get out of bed,and shake of those webs, thinkin of the times, that where my best, i remanise for a little while and all i see, is your smile, so ill sit down and cry a while, feels like i walked a thousand miles
starin at the stars, girl all i see, is my own death,lookin back at me, as you came through the door pulled me to the floor i saw your fear as i wiped away those tears,
never agian will i feal this way girl i promise you that i have changed, no more booze no more pills, i wont go lookin for no cheap thrills, i have found myself in those eyes, as the clouds part to clear my skies as i held you close, kissed your lips, im brought to a place that i have missed.
now the credits roll, my pain took its toll, and never again will i leave.....
