Three Famous Words
0
0It was the first time that they met,
They didn’t have a clue,
The future that would await them,
The feelings they never knew.
It was the guy’s eyes that she had seen,
They were brown and dark as night,
It was the girl’s friendly smile,
And their love at first sight.
It was the first time that they spoke,
And no, it was no myth,
That while she stared into his eyes,
He was the one she wanted to be with.
Even though he felt the same,
But this girl, she did not know,
That he loved her with all his heart,
But his feelings he did not show.
So after many hopeless days,
The girl no more believed in fate,
That was when the guy realized,
That he had made a huge mistake.
He came back just in time,
To steal that poor girl’s heart away,
She forgave and she forgot,
All the nights she layed awake.
He told her that he was sorry,
And if he could have a second chance,
And it was just a while after,
That they had their first kiss and dance,
He always tells her that he is sorry,
And how much he really cares,
She believes him and forgives,
Both their feelings they deeply share.
So every night he tells her,
Before she turns out her light,
Those three little famous words,
I love you and goodnight.

Sorry

0The phrase “I’m Sorry” you may agree
Has turned into a social amenity
We say “I’m Sorry” more than Brenda Lee
Which was a hit song for her back in 1960.
You may not want to acknowledge the damage you’ve done
The pain that you’ve brought to spouse, daughter or son.
But if you’ve done wrong you must see the light
To take a pro-active step to returning things right
There will remain feelings that you can’t erase
Lost time and memories that you can’t replace
Because of your actions now nothings the same
Take a look in your mirror and know that there’s blame.
Maybe those words are one’s you won’t do.
They may not exist in your new age point of view.
Or, don’t want to hear the anger, it might make you blue
It’s easier to leave your loved ones hurt and askew.
Just saying I’m sorry is not all it takes
No magical words to make gone the mistakes
Begin the road back with those words from your heart
They do not mark the end but maybe a start.
Your family’s your bond like no other glue.
A great family we had, can we renew?
Deep in your heart you know what to do.
If I can say “I’m sorry” then I think you can too.

Mom - I Love You
0
0I told you I didn’t love you with a smile on my face
The smile quickly faded when I saw your heart break.
From internal bleeding, your eyes turned red
As red as the handprint you wanted to leave on my cheek
The cheek you use to kiss when you tucked me in’ I remember your smile then.
I was ungrateful for anything you did for me
The sacrifices
I took your love for granted
Wiped it off like lint on my shirt
Now you’re hurt
I take it back
All that I’ve said
I don’t mean none of it
I love you Mom
More than words can say
Thank you for everything
Everything
