ANGELS

THE LORD HAS A BAND OF ANGELS

 

BUT THEN, LUCIFER DOES TOO

 

SO I PRAY YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL

 

IS A HEAVENLY ONE GUIDING YOU

 

AMEN

Vagabond

 

The vagabond sits amidst a crowded city street

Praying that today, he will get something to eat

Two tours in Vietnam left shrapnel in his head

A prisoner of war, his family thought him dead

Everyone moved on, his memory left behind

The vagabond came home partially deaf and blind

Why America despised him, he never understood

He wore his purple heart so they'd know he was good

A rich young man approaches and says "Hey get a job

You disgrace society, you lazy, loathesome slob"

The vagabond looked down with tears he wont display

And said "God bless you sir and have a wonderful day"

The First Time

 

You have tempted me with your charming allure

 

I wouldn't give in though, until I was sure

 

When I gave you my all, I felt so complete

 

Now everything else has taken the back seat

 

When we became one, then the line became thin

 

Living and dying for you in the same skin

 

My whole existence, dependent upon you

 

Don't care who I am or regret what I do

 

My love, my addiction, my only reprieve

 

Anticipating you, I roll up my sleeve
