"My Baby"

I'm on the road again,
to a place where the highway ends
my demons pushing from behind
waiting to see, is this the end time?

You took my daughter
once again
on your face
a slyish grin

Too soon now
it will take
to wipe that look
off your face

You try to control
that which you cannot
soon enough you will see
as she unties the knot

You were never there
when she needed you
always busy
and never true

It was me
that hugged her and kissed her goodnight
while you were gone
I was her guiding light

Soon enough
the day will come
her love for you
will come undone

Don’t be confused
and don’t ask me why
I won’t care how you feel
I don’t care if you cry

You had your chance
but you her go
just like your mother
your daughter, you’ll never know

I’ll be here for her
until my dying day
she knows Daddy loves her
In my heart, she'll always stay...

"Motherly Love"



You didn't care
to catch the tears
Tearing her away
Confirming her fears

Pulling her away 
From Daddy and Friend
Her only protection
From your troubled whirlwind

Who will be
Her Daddy now
Will he stand tall
Humble and proud

Or will he do
As the rest
Put hands on my little girl
As you say, "he's the best"

She's been beaten
Molested and raped
While you looked away
Scared of red tape

You walked away
In the past
Left her with monsters
Each one being the last

Then with me
Her safety was clear
Nothing would happen
With Daddy so near

But you pulled her away
Returned her to hell
Molested again
But you refused to tell

Why you have her
I'll never know
She should be with me
I'll never let go

I'd ensure her safety
and always be true
I can make sure
She never ends up like you

Motherly Love

"Jennifer"

Sitting right beside you
Knowing that it’s true
I know in my heart
I’ll never stop loving you

Those beautiful brown eyes
Your smile when we talk
I love the time with you
As down the halls we walk

I know I'm much to young
To know what I want in life
But I do know that I love you
You would make an amazing wife

These words I’m writing
However so true
Will never leave my heart
They’ll never get back to you

I wrote these words
Many years ago
In a middle school classroom
Yet the feelings are still so

Now I sit
In my house alone
Cursing the memories
Of what I left unknown

I’d drop what I’m doing
To be with you
For you alone
My heart is true

I don’t know why
I opened this book
Found an unfinished poem
Back to you I was took

If you ever read this
Remember it’s true
I’ll always be there
My heart belongs to you...

"Veteran"

A Veteran is someone
I’m proud to know
They fought so hard
Never letting go

They left their families
Husbands, wives, and kids
To fight for my freedom
On foreign grids

They ask us for nothing
But our thanks we should give
For their time in hell
They must forever relieve

You’ll never understand
The hell they face
Running into battle
Their fear misplaced

Do not ask why
For you’re not entitled to know
An explanation is not something
A Veteran owes

If you still feel
You need to know
Sign that dotted line
Become a Joe

Become one of us
Under the shroud
A US Military Veteran
The few, and the proud
