I knew you when you were a child,
I don’t recall you,
Although I tried,
Were you were sweet,
While I was wild,
The precious pet of the classroom kind,
An image of a smiling child,
My boy wished on me every night,
In joy, in rage, in fright.
But where is my boy tonight?
My boy is gone, for now he's a man.
He won't wish on me, although he can.
You are with me still
Though your body has turned to dust and reclaimed by earth,
Your ghost still lurks … right. Here.
Your scent lingers on the petals of every rose,
Training day and night
Brave soul signed to his country
Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Behind loved ones are kept waiting
Brave soul signed to his country
Trained to fight
Fears faced
Why do you need an alarm clock when you never arrive at time?
If you ask me, it's futile; just dont show up
But be weary of the consequences that com with such ideals
Got to look up and put on the usual poker face
i dream of happier days:before the cell phone,her now-constant companion.before computers, iPods.before she caredabout how she looks.about fitting in,conforming.back when a night light
