POETRY AND SONG LYRICS
Song Lyrics:
FOOTPRINTS UPON MY SOUL
You are sorely missed
All I do now is reminisque
There is no one, as unique as you
About the things you'd say and do
For my remaining days e-tern-al
You left your footprints upon my soul.
The memories that we shared
The ways you showed you cared
How you'd dry my te-ars
And quiet, all my fe-ars
For my remaining days e-tern-al
You left your footprints upon my soul.
Many times I'd wonder
Even now, I ponder
How you managed all there was
And still made time for u-s
For my remaining days e-tern-al
You left your footprints upon my soul.
Instrumental Break:
Within your heart was a song
Each day you'd carry along
To cheer me when things went wrong
To re-mind me where I be-longed
For my remaining days e-tern-al
You left your footprints upon my soul.
I remember your smiling face
As each new day we'd embrace
What life has brought together
Shall be bound in the hereafter
For my remaining days e-tern-al
You left your footprints upon my soul.
For my remaining days e-tern-al
You left your footprints upon my soul
Your footprints upon my soul
Footprints upon my soul...fade.
Sept. 2005--dedicated to my Mother
MY MOTHER
Mother of the days when I was young,
Memories of the lullabies she always sung,
Memories of her every wish and care for me,
Has to this day inspired me.
Mother of my early years,
Of all the times she wiped away my tears,
Memories of the laughter and caresses,
All the pretty homemade dresses.
Mother of my youth,
Inspiration of the belief in truth,
Mother of my formative years,
Conqueror of all my fears.
From this very special mother,
I've recieved a love that surpasses any other,
Having become ingrained in the beliefs of honesty,
Love, valor, wisdom and Christianity.
dedicated, in memory, to my Mother with love

SONG LYRICS
WHATEVER IS IN THE PAST
He saw me on the sidewalk
His mouth was open and slack
He looked at me surprisingly
Then I walked quickly away
For us it wouldn't last
Whatever is in the past.
Much to my surprise
Tears stung my eyes
As the memory flooded back
To his shack, upon the beach
For us it wouldn't last
Whatever is in the past.
Instrumental Break:
I chided, don't dig up the memory
Never was it meant to be
We had our time of fun
Which ended with the setting sun
For us it wouldn't last
Whatever is in the past.
I could feel his eyes follow me
For I'd seen his stunned surprise
When he noticed my protruding belly
A souvenir of that day in July
For us it wouldn't last
Whatever is in the past.
Whatever is in the past
Whatever is in the past.....fade.
