Happy birthday Jose Roque

Happy Birthday to me 

I’ve Finally Arrived

I cant seem to remember what it was all for
From the moment I stepped in
To the moments I stepped out
I cant see to find it the place I called home
The place I felt secure
I cant tell if I’m really standing
Or if I’m laying on the ground
I know all of them are waiting
Waiting for my return
Standing on the porch of my nice wooden home
There eyes open with joy and delight
I can see them now walking waiting in the light
As the spring cherry blossoms bloom and fall
I watch it cover the ground like the white winter snow
She’s smiling running towards me her mother not far behind
I feel I’m getting closer yet they’re so far away
I feel myself colder as they get closer and closer
I hear my name being called but I can seem to care
Finally I reach them but before we touch I feel a droplet
Not just any droplet but a warm droplet
This droplet is a tear and now I know
I’ve finally arrived
To the place I held dear

Effort And Choice

I’m asked everyday why fight the good fight
Losing bi-weekly but defying death’s plight
Helping random people stuck in their own grief
Trying to help them realize life’s a good belief
Giving out advise to those who dare ask
That’s what I feel is my life’s task
Do what I can to avoid there demise
Seeing smiling faces that’s my efforts best prize
I’m no Savior I’m just a normal guy
I do what I have to I give it my best try
Not everyone can be helped or at least not by me
I cant or rather wont change how they see
Life not happiness its struggle and its work
I’m not gonna change that for whatever its worth
I’m trying to tell people I’m not an instant cure
I’m just a method to turn bad in sure
I give my advise and help you make a stand
Whether you decide to advance is all in your own hands
I can only show options in the end I’m just a voice
I’m only here to help while you decide your choice

Death

Curious I am for those around

I loom among them

From cities to towns

One by one they all fall down

Collecting them slowly 

As they lay on the ground

I tend to ask why they are afraid

Such frightened stares

Like a fiery blaze

They tend to expect a man with a blade

Such absurd thoughts enough to be crazed

From morning to night my job never ends

Roaming free

People to send

I see them in tear I see them all laugh

These are all feelings I can’t comprehend

I take woman children fathers and mothers

Sisters and cousin even big brother’s

I feel no shame remorse of regret

All I know is like poison I infect

People believe my actions end life

I’m not to blame its all their own strife 

I walk among them waiting to see

Who is the real spirit wielding a scythe

One thing is certain its easy to see

For sure beyond reason its clearly not me 

Till Death Do Us Part

From life till death do our hands ever part
Your the bearer of my ring and the owner of my heart
More elegant than water more beautiful than art
Even when bones wither our souls wont depart
A life of struggle a life of strain
Through all the problems we endured the pain
We stuck together so our vows weren’t in vain
We never scummed to solitudes shame
Presenting gifts for a love that never died
For anniversaries to come and are never set aside
For moments we were strong when instead we should have cried
For the dedication and respect that has never subside
Our many treasured memories that will remain in our hearts
May we always be together not even death do us part

Through My Eyes

Through my eyes you shall all see
The beauty and love that has befallen me
The sights and sounds that let me be
The person to guide and save destiny’s
The world isn’t grey its not at all dull
Even though people are trying to break they’re skulls
The problem with today is that life is unclear
You dont see tomorrow without a certain ounce of fear
I guess for me its all different I dont see hell
Maybe cause my mind and spirit haven’t yet fell
When I look at the world yes I have to weep
But all I observe is whats worth it in a week
When I see the clouds I dont just see sky
I see progress and advancements that help us all fly
When I see the sun I dont bother with the light
All that concerns me are colors within sight
Wonderful things are viewed when my minds unclouded
Everything is visible so long as you are undoubted
