Sail away Free
We were like the three amigos
Laughing loudly here in Cabo
So many margarita's
The night, the moon, our senorita's
A time truly meant to be
Hands on hips and saying "See!"
Don't miss the cigarettes
But Pure joy eclipsed regrets
Cares fled freely far to roam
One hand remained tied to home
Sometimes you felt descended on
There were so many that depended on
You being there and taking care of business
It's who you were, one meant for giveness
You were not one who was want to whimper
At I times I saw the flaring of your temper
This I say in truth for it's no rumor
It was far out weighed by your humor
What is life? What is destiny?
We're human, the best that we can be
At any given point in time
Sail free, let your light shine
You are ever in my heart
Life long friend, late start
Leave these worldly cares behind
The bills, the stress, the daily grind
I'll keep your memory here with me
Sail away my friend you're free
I will see you in the end
You will always be my friend
Heaven's within reach
Purple sunset, sandy beach
Sail away free
Sail away free
Sail away

Wide Open Spaces
Wide open spaces
Being in places
Here in now
Smiling faces
Cool Oasis
Hear and how
The wonder of the moment
Holds the meaning of the universere
Live in it and own it
From first breath unto the hearse
The measure of a person
And the life they live
Is not in what they accumulate
But in how much they give

Quiet Now
Quiet now
Try it now
Buy it now
Fry it now
Dry it now
Fly it now
What this day wants
Is some peace
And a bit of silence
Quiet release
.More precious
Than the golden fleece
If you are mindful of such things
Lest there be a nightingale that sings
A sweet song of surrender to the wonder of it all
A siren's song to serenade the sleep to which we fall

Tickle Me
No Tickle me papa
I am telling mama
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Papa tickle me
You say no him mama
Twinkle in eye I see
Mumpa papa tickle me
Papa crying mama
Kayden laughing
Mama loves it
When you're happy
Papa loves it too
Let's walk on the sand
Holding hands
Wearing no shoes
Pamum papa tickle me

Happy Day
So many and yet not so many years ago
We stood in this same place and said I do
Little did we know all things that we'd go through
There are quite a few things that I've come to know
One is I could go through anything as long as it's with you
So happy anniversary to my love and my best friend
We watch the seasons come and go together
I don't feel there is any storm our love could not weather
One thing I cannot fathom is that this could ever end
The bad things seem less worse and the good things just get better
The beauty of the sunrise is in you while you sleep
And now until the end of time I just want to keep
Awaking to you next me and snuggle up real tight
It is love that makes life worthwhile every day and every night
And we'll fall asleep counting all our blessings instead of sheep

On Friends
Amazing friends lift you up and make you
taller til
In the end you'd defend them with your mind and will
And the task you undertake from beginning until it's done
The flask and smiles, the chatter
and styles all make it fun
Well begun is half done and so I see it is
Our hopes are here in sharing with our friends
Iif there is one thing I know it is simply this
I wouldn't trade a single soul I'd make amends
Not just because lonliness is an abyss
Friends are treasures beyond being told
They make the best and break the mold
It is best to hang on to every one
Be a friend when all's said and done
Be a friend when all's said and done
And you are the best of one

Hunger
Nagging nawing in the pit
Just let me sleep I quip
Another day is done
Cool water take a sip
Equisite and so sweet
Refreshing and fun
What is this I ask fate
There is no food upon plate
No hotdog no bun

Release
Couples walking hand in hand
Turn and walk away
Never thinking it could end
Until the ending came
Something lost so long ago
Things could never be the same
It only took some time to show
Forgiveness lost to blame
Talking lost to silence
Sharing somewhere else
Seeking only to complain
If blaming blame ourselves
Sweating hands can't get a grip
To easy to release and slip
We stumble as we sway
Life is both growing and decay
We drift with the tide
We brace and we equip
This once best friendship
Is strong enough to ride
Further further
And further still
If there's something I can do
I will
So I seek the source of positivity
I forsake the cause for negativity
Letting go, release and say simply
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be

Some Summer
Summer sweaters keep us warm here in this
state of Washington
Passing youths dressed for a climate I cannot sense or feel
This cold that chills the air feels all too real head to heel
Though tank tops and short shorts are par for these sunny days
The breeze blows from the arctic peeling warmth like pre-sliced cheese
Although I can appreciate the bare knees and tanned skin
When the sun goes down you'll see me going in
Bundled against the cold some skin will still expose
I will not be supper time for these massive mosquitos

Time Passing
The new dawn the new earth
The new life the rebirth
The time passing always spent
Cannot be held and won't relent
So life is how you feel
As for time it isn't real

This Morning
This morning comes with quiet
No thought of must have, must buy it
Just a stillness as I listen to the rain
I stand between the raindrops and the pain
Grateful for yet another day again
For day time turns into the night
We sleep or lie and listen for the light
For surely morning comes for you and me
Yet another chance to live and truly be
In presence there's a sweetness that is
free
Presence brings both abundance and prosperity

One Morning Walking
Children singing holding hands
Skipping down the street
It is a wondrous part of the dance
Where old and young ones meet
The twinkle in a stranger's eye
Who doesn't miss a thing
Crinkled corners curling smile
A comic comment brings
Children skip on rhyming
Sprinkling joy upon the air
All in classic timing
Those moments free from care
Close your eyes remember when
In a dreamlike world
Near an early age of ten
There was no javelin you couldn't hurl
In the Good remember when
Moment by moment while moments stand
We will embrace our lives hand in hand
And we will make more memories
Come now and walk with me

Letting Go (Open G)
These are the days we talked about
All of those years ago
We dared some dreams
We shared some doubt
It's all about letting go
Letting go
Letting go
It's all about letting go
She who forgives
Shall be forgiven
She'll learn to live
While she is living
Still even so
It's all about letting go
Letting go
Letting go
It's all about letting go
Time's standing still
As we race along
Time will remain
Long after we've gone
It's only show
It's all about letting go
Letting go
Letting go
It's all about letting go
Winter to spring
Earth turns to green
Hope is renewed again
Don't miss the moment my friend
Letting go
Letting go
It's all about letting go
See what you see
Set yourself free
Let life be in every breath
Be here and now
Make love your vow
May we find peace and be blessed
Letting go
Letting go
It's all about letting go
