My everything helped without a doubt.
Even when I was down and out
When I was wrong, she would tell me I was right
Just to keep us from having a fight
With all my troubles with drugs and thugs
We were always on the run
Some how she still turned it into so much fun
When my body and mind was ready to give
She always gave me reason to live
She reminded me one thing
That no matter what I still have
MY EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Friends are people but they are hard to find
to establish things like yours and mine
we have a friendship for which I charish
since you feel the same I know it won't parish
It's been 12 years since we came together
a friendship like ours should last forever
I know you are to be trusted for I am now too
Because of our friendship theres nothing we can't do
Our friendship is built on loyality and trust
We will have to be honest because that is a MUST
So through these words I speak to you
I want you to know my friendship
IS TRUE!!!!!!!
Not a day passes without me thinking of you!
through it all, the good, the bad, some true, some sad
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
The dreams and plans I had for us we held each other close.
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
When the drugs entered our life and it was destroyed.
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
Knowing that some how we had surely failed
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
Not knowing what to do or where to turn
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
As the dreams and plans became a distant memory
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
Turning loose of the dreams that would never be
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
As you watched me age before my time
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
A young man in his thirty's that weighs 249
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
This 1 year sentence as I stare at the county sign
-----YOU ALWAYS STOOD BY ME!-----
If I had life to do it again, I THINK I SHOULD
------STAND BY YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a message from your DAD, saying
I'm proud that you are mine
this goes out to my buddies, who are so
precious and so kind
I think about you everyday, as your
always on my mind
Thinking about your HAPPY faces, Just
helps me pass my time
The time is coming for me to come home
but until daddy gets there, please don't feel alone
I know you wish I was there right now
as I wish it to
But god has placed me on a mission, so there is something I have to do
You know I'll never stop loving you and
you guys know how much I care
Even thou you don't see me daddy is still there
So don't forget to say your prayer tonight, thanking GOD for what he has done
and know that when I come home
We will have so much fun!!!!!!!!!!
I notice sometimes people take things for granted
and after a while they wish they hadn't
I myself have done the same
Thinking that life was just a game
But as time goes on and reality sets in
Life is more serious than we made it to be
As we have taken it for granted
Because we were free
When our freedom is taken we are free no more
It is at that time we observe all the positive doors
There were many doors in which I could have entered
But I was afraid to stand front and center
well the time has come am I am afraid no more
I'll walk through each and every door
All the bad things I am leaving behind
Because when it comes down to it
MARK'S FUTURE IS MINE!!!!!!!
Knowledge is something with experience
you will find
Each lesson that is learned will
enhance our mind.
Knowledge can be good as we know it is true.
But only if the knowledge is placed to good use.
Knowledge has its way of helping us out
it gives us the oppurtunity to know what life is all about
Once you capture knowledge, don't place it on hold
It was meant to be shared and not to be sold
If you share it with a person who you know nothing about
Even though you won't see it you have helped someone out
And if you can't reconize knowledge for what it is worth
Look back in life from now until birth
and in doing so I'll promise one thing
you will definitely learn KNOWLEDGE IS KING!!!!
Within these walls, this prison
my mind and thoughts run free
I think of mom and days gone by
and what she meant to me
I wonder how life would have been
had she not gone away
and would I be behind these bars
If she were here today
How would my life be different?
I've asked a million times
If I could only talk to her,
She might have stopped my crimes
I'm thankful for the time we had
but she could not have known
of the dark void left eithin my life
in the years since she's been gone
I needed her and miss her
I love her--for a fact
But I know my life is different
Because my mom never came back!
The ardent longing in my life
is not a prayer for me
In the deep watches of the night
I pray, not selfishly
I lift 4 lives to you, O'God,
4 hearts I know you love
I cannot help them from below,
Please BLESS them from above
You see thier need as I cannot,
You hear their prayers, I know
I feel their tears upon my cheek,
Please hold them as I go.
No man could love them as I do
No heart could miss them so.
But only you can lift thier heads
and hold them as I go.
Give them strength when they are weak,
and peace in place of fear.
Hold them close in your embrace,
The way I know you would.
Hold them tight in your embrace,
The way a father should
A strong father whom they can trust
In me they can have pride.
Although I cannot touch a face,
or hold my love ones near,
or see them in the morning light,
or wipe away their tears,
or talk with them about their day,
or pray with them at night,
I know that you will be with them,
you'll be their guiding light.
My wife and three dear stars.
Please keep them close
I'll love them strong
even when I have done so wrong.
Free to seek a counselors care
I sit in silence unaware
That peace could ever come to reign
in triump over all the pain
I sit alone feeling betrayed since birth
I feel no joy or self worth
I tremble and cower with each deep distrust
I long to scream to anothers ear
What I know my mother will never hear
But my cries, unanswered, have left me mute
No words to even bear dispute
Shunned and shamed my guilt grows deep
Like an ugly weed that slowly creeps
into my soul to confuse and kill
my sence of right... my dreams...my will
As I sit in silent rage
trapped within my self made cage
of hate that sucked away my youth
I hide my only hope
THE TRUTH
I struggle with myself to keep them inside
The feelings that I have tried to deny
I tell everyone that I am ok
When I battle to make it through each day
in my world of illusions where everyone was right
I cry myself to sleep each night
You notice the tears filling in my eyes
As I begin to shed my shallow diguise
My pain, confusion, and few of my fears
Drop to the ground in form of my tears
It feels good to release the emotions built up
to say what I feel instead of bottling them up
And now that you know what it is that I feel will you fight the battle with me and
HELP my wounds HEAL?
Love and laughter are my true desires
With your flame you light my fire
Holding me so close with that warm embrace
While staring deep into your face
As husband and wife
We shall live our life
Our souls are intertwined
Until the end of time
My best friend and my lover;
My companion through the journey of life
All these things you are to me
Through good times as my wife
I look into your eyes
And see all my dreams in there
My heart know no boundaries
My soul know you are where (in my heart & mind)
God placed you by my side
And there you have always stood
Shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye
For ever hand in hand
Most times you walk beside me
often times you walk behind
to be able to watch over me
When I have a troubled mind
My need for you is great
My love for you is true
My wife and my hero
I give my life to you!
