A Friend


A Friend 
is a Friend 
always on call 
A Friend 
is a Friend 
Pick you up 
when you call 
A Friend  
is a Friend 
who is not distant 
in that time of need 
A Friend 
is a Friend 
when you feel alone 
will just be there 
to talk on the phone 
A Friend 
will be a Friend 
Until the very END 
to my Friends 
I send a special thanks 
for the warmth and love 
I thank the good Lord above 
for my Friends!




My Wife


You are my Wife 
I am stable as one 
being with you 
have more fun 
You point the finger 
like the hand on the trigger 
You tell me I lie 
each and every day 
Your always right 
what more can I say 
Better for worse 
as long as it follows your book 
if something doesn't go your way 
I sure get that look 
I love you 
that's all I can say 
I hope I can come home someday 
I am not perfect 
I am nothing great 
I wish we could just clean the slate 
It's all God's timing 
Forgiveness 
is a gift from above 
I know with God 
I will have unconditional love 
I'll get closer to God 
That's my desire 
Even with that 
You'll still call me a liar 
I wrote this poem 
Just to vent 
this poem 
Won't pay the rent 
I love you more and more 
Everyday 
That's the bottom line 
That's all I have to say 
I will love you 
Until my dieing day!




Just Another Day

Woke up this morning
wishing you were here
thought a lot about you
sure made things clear
Thought of all I can say
if you were just here today
Missing your beautiful smile
That would light up a room
in such a special way
Our short little talks
that would may me smile
All I have is my memory
All I have is my love
I'll keep you in my hart
that's where you belong
with Grandpa, Daddy and Jesus
Sounds like a song
I'll never stop missing you
I would like to say
I love you my mother
Everyday


In Heaven...

Told us to imagine
How Heaven would be
This is my perspective
If I can see
The gates of Heaven
Filled with love
All kind of cute animals
And a little dove
Walk through the gates
Because your name is on the list
Don't have to shout
Or Yell
Or never make a fist
Because Heaven is the time
For you and me
Everybody together
I can see
No war or sickness
That we have to worry about that day
That a love one
Will be taken away
And all our love
Is here to stay
The beautiful music
The beautiful music
As we all sit and talk
As the big guy in the sky
Just stops in to say Hi
Hi to everyone
And everyone by name
The touch of the light
An embrace by his grace
Never have to worry
It s not a race
Our time together will be full
Full of joy
Full of time
Never have to worry about
Any crime
My vision of heaven 
Has a lot more to be said
But I ll experience the real heaven
When I am Dead
I am looking up
Because that s the way I go
Heaven Bound
And always ready to go!

Matthew Kozera


Crumbling
Crumbling Prayers
Crumbling Dreams
Crumbling all together
it may seem
Seems so bad
wanna cry
Sometimes you feel like
you want to die
and then ask yourself
Why
Why am I alone
in my toughest
As my tears
are all dried out
The question is
why do I doubt
I have the lord
by my side
To help me
when I'm alone
He'll always be there
and I'll never be alone!

Matthew Kozera

If I Could
Today
we pondered
all about you
As my day
began to turn blue
and all I could do
was start to miss you
who would've known
the time was short
but the memories are long
had nothing to say
but sing a song
If I could say goodbye
I'd say it to you
because Phillip
you were my cousin
and I miss you
the hero I dreamed
to grow up to be
May not be able to see
but I can feel
and my memories are real
and I don't have to say goodbye
because you'll always be in my heart!

Matthew Kozera

Little Sister
Little Sister
don't cry anymore
Little Sister
don't shout anymore
It's time to open up
and stand tall
Little Sister
I'll lift you
when you shall fall
Little Sister
I'll be there
when you shall doubt
because my love
you should never doubt
as we chuckle
as we laugh
as we ponder for a while
a smile here
a smile there
never doubt
that I care
we may share some tears
or have different sides
no matter what side we take
no matter how times fly
I'll never question
and ask why
Why I love you
or why you love me
no matter what
we'll always be
Brother and Sister
for Eternity!

Matthew Kozera

The Love
I had an accident
10 years ago
the Doctors didn't say much
or how things would go
but the Lord above
he sure knows
I met a lot of people
in my path to be free
my path to recovery
to heal me
I felt a strong love
from people
I never met before
always hoping
I can achieve more
My memories of my recovery
had its ups and downs
Yes it had sad times
maybe a few frowns
but my hopes
were still high
even when
I was feeling down
I thought of the love all around
and that's what picked me up from the ground!

Tribute To
Tribute to all the Americans
who died on that tragic day
Tribute to all the heros
that came to save the day
September 11th, 2001
go down in history
marked as not much fun
Some people are strangers to the victims
but still feel pain
Only Sorrow
was the thing to gain
It took a tragedy
for Americans to become close
to stand tall
and wave our flag high
sing our national anthem
and start to cry
Tribute to all the Americans
As I now take off my hat
we are Americans
and that's that!

Matthew Kozera

America
Today evil gave us another test
like an annoying critter
or just a pest
we had many challenges
years before
we were alway together
protecting each others door
we have the strength to survive
always the will to stand out
this is America
and freedom
is what we're all about
so when u think this may be the end
just stand together
and stand like one
and evil will not win
because we are never just one
I write this poem
for all the fallen heros
a life
is a life
that may count just as one
1000's taken away
now the damage is done
now it's time
for the American to have fun
and let the evil count the lives
and say
yes the damage is done!

Matthew Kozera

Being a Survivor
Being a survivor
is ment to be
maybe not for everybody
but yes, for me
I am who I am
want people to see
don't treat me any different
except for me
I drove in the car
two days a go
I saw a rainbow in the sky
made me ponder
made me cry
I wanted to make a wish
but I didn't know for who
then I realized
my wish would be for you
all the survivors
in the past
and yet to come
some think it's easy
but it's really no fun
don't every lose fait
don't ever be afraid to fall
just get back up
and always stand tall
Proud to be a survivor
and say yeah that's me
My hopes and prayers
go to the rest
I close this poem
and wish everybody the BEST!

Matthew Kozera

Salvation
I got a gift
a gift for free
I got a gift
that really fits me
It's a gift of love
a gift of light
A gift of happiness
with much delight
A gift from God
that's made for you
a gift that is made for me
A gift that is for everyone
wish everyone can see
I got a gift
that will last for eternity
Jesus in my life
Jesus in my heart
Jesus all around me
That is the best part
when sad times come
and they will go
Jesus by my side
that's all I have to know
and we will know
how it will go
Just confess with your mouth
and believe in your heart
That Jesus is Lord!!!

Matthew Kozera

Saying Goodbye
I listen to songs
some songs I think of you
Wondering what happened to us
something that once was
I miss your smile
I miss your way
I miss you
I can actually say
You walked out of my life
we planned for you to be my wife
that is fine
that is clear
I miss our friendship
that is sincere
I wonder
I quess
I pray to God
wish you the best
I say bye to you
the one who was my friend
I guess every good thing
have to end!
