New Song I should have told her

I should have told her

I laid in bed without you counting all the stars just to know how many wishes I had to make a wish that you were back here in this bed laying in my arms I miss you more than I ever thought I could and I need you more than I even knew I would I wish I would have told you I wish I would have said I wish you were laying laying laying right here next to me in this bed.

You left me all alone without even a clue of who I was what we were before I ever knew that love needs to hear love needs share because I always thought that you knew I should have said it showed you more it's too late but so you know I love you and I always will.


Chorus
You got to hold her tight every night
and tell her what the truth is let her
know how much love you have for her
if you don't she'll be gone without a sign
I wish I had told her then and maybe just
maybe she would still be mine.


If you were here in front of me I would show you so you could see I loved you then, in fact, I still do I should have told you now I'm feeling blue laying here counting all the stars making wishes that they were you.

Maybe one day when all the stars have fallen you will hear my wish wishing you well and that I miss you then you will know that I tried my best but darling as for now I will think of you as the tears and stars fall on by from all the skies and my eyes.


Chorus:
You got to hold her tight every night
and tell her what the truth is let her
know how much love you have for her
if you don't she'll be gone without a sign
I wish I had told her then and maybe just
maybe she would still be mine.

Chorus:
You got to hold her tight every night
and tell her what the truth is let her
know how much love you have for her
if you don't she'll be gone without a sign
I wish I had told her then and maybe just
maybe she would still be mine.

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all a...

It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book.

  "A story of one man's epic love for his son who is not of his blood." One day I was woken up by a dream I think it was really a nightmare I was alone or so I thought, I was seeing shadows and I kept hearing voices whispering in my ear so I started listening and writing it down, I still do that today. That was ten years ago and with those words, I wrote my first book., The Battle Lost: Ryder's Birth, It was a whopping fifty-two pages each a separate piece of poetry with extremely bad grammar, misspelled words, and no punctuation I had a good friend go through it when I got it back there were so many red marks I flashed back to high school. It has been on Amazon's top ten Epic Poetry (Free) in the Kindle Store for ten years. Ryder is now eleven years old and doing awesome it really was an epic battle physically, mentally, and emotionally fought in Parker County, Texas. DNA does not matter if you love that child enough and I Proved that. Actually, Attorney Bethel T...

Happily ever after amen.

Happily ever after amen.  Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear  your blood flowing through  your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you w...
