I will wait for you
I sit here and I wonder
how much longer
will her mind wander
Validation comes and goes
my heart fills with joys and woes
Reminancing is my way
of enjoying our life day to day
Memories of us are glorious and sweet.
but realization doesn't retreat
My hopes, on the other hand, are strong and true
Just as strong as my love for you.
You're healing more as time goes on
but why on earth must it take so long?
I want you now, I dont want to wait
I pray to God to open your gate
And let it flood of what you hold
to share those stories of what you told.
You're precious and rare
There's no one like you anywhere
My Karen, My beautiful Karen
I love you with all my heart
My beautiful Karen

I'm Still Me
Though I can't talk today
I can hear everything you say
I'll move my arms, hands and legs
as soon as I can find a way
Someday's are just bad days
I still remember my angel flying away
So don't dismay
If it seems I won't play
Some nights I just lay awake
because everything is feels so strange
as I'm strarting to realize my pain
Then some days are OK
I know my best friend is on his way
He has faith in me that one day
I will look at him and say his name
So please continue to pray
and one day I WILL be able to say
"Thank you for not looking away"

Ozark Highway
On a cold March night
Deep in an Ozark valley.
The sky was pitch
Fog rolled over the highway.
Lonely road
Not a red taillight.
Pulled the Ram over
And looked outside.
Song of a distant midnight train.
Like his guitar,
Singing in the rain.

A young man in a Veteran's suit
Appeared before my eyes.
Wearing shiny patrol boots
And a smell of 1975.
He said, Son it's good to see you.
I know you're worried and scared.
But if you listen close enough,
You will hear how much God cares.
And your children love you.
They will be just fine.
So take care of her and love her Son
Just like I did mine.
