Today

Today we could have be celebrating.
Today could have been grande.
Today I grieve your memory.
Today I consider my stand.

Today I understand you.
Today I get the drift.
Today I yearn to talk to you
Today I could use a lift.

Today I miss my buddy
Today I know the trend.
Today I mark your birth date
Today I mourn my friend

Carry on

If I could, I'd put it all down - for others to see 
But what would be left - of the secrets of me
The story unfolds - deep in the well
Carry on, walk by - there is nothing to tell

Look, but don't touch - take it in with your eyes
Paint your own picture - tell your own lies
Many a good tale - does not pass the test
Often the truth - is left just to rest

She 's not talking - but has plenty to say
Often second guessing - the decision to stay
Stand firm, don't waiver - feet planted on ground
Rise up, hold on - To the truth you are bound.

SUDDEN DEATH

9-15-75,  A day I will always remember,

a feeling I will never forget

In our short time together,  

you impressed upon my heart

How to be a great sports fan,

how to do my part.

Cheer hard for the home boys,

keep them in the game

Stand up , hoot and holler,

it's not time to be tame.

Many lives have passed through mine,

since that fateful day

With each cross we have to bare,

we yearn,  we love, we pray.

9-15-75 A day I will always remember,

a feeling I will never forget.
