Poems

Here by your side

Sometimes I'm lonely laying beside you in bed
Praying you've heard all the things that I've said
Laying beside me asleep with your dreams
But knowing my love was just as it seemed

I need just to hold you so tight in my arms
Just wishing you could see me and know where I am
I watch you playing with the kids that we've had
You think I'm not watching but I'm still their Dad

It happened so quickly, it happened too soon
We didn't expect it right out of the blue
But darling I'm with you not just in your head
The love and the caring, that isn't dead

In spirit I might be, but always with you
You think that you see me, I hope you do too
You might feel a touch, a word deep inside
Trust me please darling, I'm here by your side

Pets

When you take on a pet you know from the start,

It's not just a home you give, it is part of your heart.

They come with a nature so loving and true,

It's not what you own that counts,they only want you!

How do you measure this love and deep devotion?

It is like asking how high the sky,how deep the ocean.

So brief are their lives and are over too fast,

But don't dwell on your loss for the memories will last,

They are just out of sight,never far away,

And you and your "friend"will be re-united one day.

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
