i'm trying something a bit different here...and as you can see i'm not really done with this yet




they laid her down to what was now
her final resting place
she put flowers `round the fresh turned ground
with dignity and with grace

he took her little hand in his
as they walked away
and headed towards the unknown life
that waited on this day

tried to hide his worry
and he tried to hide his fear
but as they buckled up she saw it
his eyes were filled with tears

so she climbed into his lap
put her arms around his head
and softly whispered his ear
and this is what she said...


I know it’s hard that mommy’s gone
but we have each other here
and if you look into my eyes
you’ll see, mommy’s always near
so on those stormy nights,
when there’s no peace to find
if you need a guardian angel
you can borrow mine



now five years have gone he struggles on
she’s growing way too fast
this little girl’s his only world
and his mirror to the past

he still holds those little hands
though she turned twelve today
it’s hard for him to see it, but that’s
what the candles say

he carried her down the hall
left a kiss upon her head
took the dreaded walk alone
as he headed off to bed

there upon his pillow, he found
the neatly folded note
with a hand drawn heart across top
and words that hung in his throat



this is just a little note to say
daddy, you’re my hero and
ill never go away...but,
when you lie awake I hear you cry
sometimes I cry with you
she knows how much we love her
guess what...she loves us too
so on those sleepless nights
when there’s no peace to find
if you need a guardian angel
you can borrow mine



he took her little hand as they walked
down the aisle
he passed her off, to her new life
with sorrow and a smile

and as she took her vows
not to part until death
he couldn’t help but cry because
that’s how her mother left

fifteen years to the day
and he’s in a waiting room
seven and a half pounds later
a baby born in June

he holds her in his arms and
falls in love at first sight
tries to find something meaningful to say
as a grandfather might



this world has its ups and downs
and you will have your share
you’ll have your good and bad times
and I won’t always be there
but on those restless nights
when there’s no peace to find
if you need a guardian angel
you won’t need to borrow mine

just look to where i’ve always looked
and you will find love strong
see, you have a guardian angel
and you can call her mom

That's beautiful, kc.

thank you...

i just can't get it right...

I think it's perfect the way it is, why change it?

it started out as an idea for a song, i was writing the lyrics for a friend. it grew into something completely different, none the less i lose the rhythm in couple of places. especially when read and not sang...uugghhhhhh!!!! i've been looking at it for a week now and it is driving me nuttttts. it never takes me a week to write anything.


idk...i think i have to leave it for a few days. that's why i posted it i guess

Good idea, just let it rest for a bit and the words will come. I love it the way it is, however, I don't write lyrics, so I have no idea how it should be.

Excellent write my friend.I Luv it just the way that is written.
