Silver Lining

 I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
There's no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road
Can't worry 'bout what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road
I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong
I try to keep on keeping on
Yeah I just keep on keeping on

I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road

I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon
Having no idea who or what or where I am
Something good comes with the bad
A song's never just sad
There's hope, there's a silver lining
Show me my silver lining
Show me my silver lining

I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road

I won't take the easy road
The easy road, the easy road

Show me my silver lining
I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining
I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining
I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining
I try to keep on keeping on

Rodeo in the Sky

Hey, Cowboy they're waiting for you in
Rodeo heaven's got something' to do.
Wing calves and silver horned steers that can fly
Rodeo Angels to sing through the sky,

Life is a gamble for any and all
Sometimes you turn out
Sometimes you fall
Sometimes the best you can do is hang on.

Mom & Dad, your brothers are takin' it hard
Though deep in their hearts they know where you are,
So stop for a moment as you're passin' through,
Big Jake, is a flyin' through the blue.

Take your wings with you sweet child,
Jesus will hold you so meek and so mild,
Then when you hear that old Rodeo bell.
Climb on your winged horse and spur it like you stole it.

Life is like a gamble for any an old,

Sometimes you turn out,

Sometimes you fall

Sometimes  the best you can do is hang on.

Rodeo Heaven's where

Angle's belong....

Hold ON

Hold On

Hold on to 

What is good

even if it is

a handful of dirt

Hold on to 

what you believe

even if it is a

tree that stands

by itself

 Hold on to 

what you must do

 even if it is a long way

from here

 Hold on to life

even if it is easier 

to let go 

Hold on to my hand

even if i have gone away

from you...

Angel Of the Range

Angel of the Range

Her image is there on horseback

In the mountains or even the plains

Just beyond the reason of dreamers

This angel of the range

She’s there in every campfire

Her eyes shine in the coals

Every lone some rider’s love

In their heart and soul

Her smile is in the sunrise

Her tears are in the rain

Her laughter tinkles from the creeks

To ease each cowboys pain

Where emptiness is all they feel

` Cause they’ve been alone too long

She’s there to hold them close to her

Soothing with the night bird song

She’s a different gal to every puncher

No buckaroo see’s her same

She’s short, tall and dark, or fair

And may not even have a name

Yes, she is the same yet different

To you this may sound strange

She’s every lonesome rider’s sweet heart

She’s the Angel of the Range.

Dear Jake

Dear Jake, 

I prayed for you every night. 

Which is hard for me to do. 

Because I never used to pray

How do you start a conversation with God?

When you have never done it before. 

I am a spiritual Person, 

I believe in signs God Has shared, 

 I used to pray to god when i was kid. 

But he Never answered my questions. 

I have lost all hope in him. I was mad at him.

Do I have a right to be Mad at him? I think i do 

He took people home and away from me Who I loved 

I just don't understand. 

Please Someone explains this too me.

My heart is Jammed and I can't write a Rhyme

And Most who know me... know I can write any kind of Poem....

Dear Jake,

I hope you feel free from your pain.

There were a million pulling for you.

Cheering you on spreading the word for you to heal

I know you are just above the clouds 

I am sure you have lots of horses in your cavvy 

And sliver laced Ropes, and wing horned steers.

No matter how I feel, I will always be proud of you

Now how do I end this letter without sound so blah.

A Forever Friend

Sometimes in life

You find a special friend

Just by being part of it

Someone who makes you laugh

Until you can't stop:

Someone who makes you believe

That there really is good in the world

Someone who convinces you

That there really is an unlocked door

This is forever friendship

When you're down

And the world seems dark and empty

Your forever friend lifts you up in spirit

And makes that dark empty world

Suddenly seem bright and full

Your forever friend gets you through

The hard times, the sad times

If you turn to walk away

Your forever friend follows

If you lose your way

Your forever friend guides you

And cheers you on

Your forever friend holds your hand

And tells you that

Everything is going to be okay

And if you find such a friend

You feel happy and complete

Because you need not to worry

You have a forever friend for life

And forever has no end....

A part of you has grown in me

Together forever we should never be apart

Maybe in distance 

but not in .... Heart...
