I lose myself in words of a book

Not lifting my head, no need to look

I lose myself in stories told

Reading words of stories so bold

Fantasy adventures things kids only dream

Far off lands, night time and moon beams

I lose myself to escape real life

Tension so thick, can cut it with a knife



I lose myself in words of a book

To a place I don't care how I look

No judgement passed, no constant stares

Lost in a book, I don't care

Anxieties fade, I feel relaxed

My mind unwinds, my body collapses

Comfy spot curled up in my bed

Warm under the covers, pillow under my head

Page after page, one chapter left

Feeling sleepy book on my chest

Couldn't make it to the end I did my best

Your body was laid to rest today
On a clear blue sunny day
Military honors is what you deserve
We love and thank you because you served
21 gun salute in your honor
American flag for your girls
Your friends here to honor you means the world
I know that you are finally at peace
You are free from pain
I won't let your memory die in vain
I look to the sky and tell the girls to pray to you
I say daddy's an angel in heaven looking down at you
He would be so proud of what you've become
There is peace in my heart that you are in a better place
I will never let the girls forget your handsome face

You started fighting the Cancer battle 2 years ago
No matter how sick you felt, you never let it show
Chemo and radiation treatments every week
You just want to feel better, relief is what you seek
But your body is tired, the Cancer is winning
You put up a heroic fight from the very beginning
At 17 years old God called you home
Family by your side, made sure you weren?t alone
Surrounded by love they hope you would feel
The pain and grief of your loss is all too real
No more suffering, no more pain
Tears begin to fall, just like rain
You will always be remembered for your spirit and smile
The pain will be there for a very long while
You are now an angel in heaven
Watching us from above
We pray to you and send all our love

Here comes summer, time for fun

Here comes summer, fun in the sun

Go to the beach and play in the sand

Or sitting by the pool, with drink in hand

Time to relax and enjoy the sun

Here comes summer, time for fun

Clear blue skies, beautiful day

Vacation time, Im on my way

Forget about life for awhile

Mind is free, makes me smile

Crystal blue waters, beaches white sand

Vacation paradise oh so grand

See it on post cards, Now Im here

Waves crashing on the beach is all I hear

Thoughts are free, I close my eyes

Take a deep breathe,face to the sky



Here comes summer

As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
A beautiful prayer always said
You are off fighting a war instead
I lay here a lone thinking of you
Alone in a place with friends far and few
Say your prayers before patrol
Come back alive is your only goal
As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Bring him home safe to me
Let him fight for innocents to be free
Back from patrol still in one piece
I continue to pray for the war to cease
One day soon you will come home
So I don’t have to lay here a lone.
As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
You heard my prayer and he is home
Thank you God I am not a lone

It’s my turn to find my way
I’m the one who has the say
I used to be fun loving and free
I have to find what used to be me
Feelings neutral and numb
I sit and watch the rise of the sun
I need to find my way to who I used to be
I want to find the happy in me
So so sad it’s not there
Life is often so unfair
I will find my way to that happy place
One day there will be a smile on my face
Find my way to a new me
Happy and hopefully carefree

Listening to morning quiet as cars drive by
Whispy clouds up in the sky
The sun slowly rising from its sleep
Morning stretch begins the day
Sunday morning what can I say
Birds in the trees singing their songs
God's perfect day what can go wrong?
Open windows cool breezes blow
The smell of fresh clean air begins to show
Sunday mornings for lazy days in bed
Relaxing calm in my head
Sun rising hire in the sky
Watching the birds begin to fly
Sunday mornings
