Have you ever pondered over why we-the human race and animals, consume so much garbage? No, no you probably havent because you dont sit at a lunch table while conversing with your parents at various restaurants pretending to give your undivided attention while really you are scoping out everyone within close proximity and the dish of their liking, honing into their conversation, and becoming a world-class person-watcher in the process. No, you dont do this? Its because you dont live the life I lead, and are not blessed with this strange, deranged mind.
I am.
I could not count on my hands how many times I have s
I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in,
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But, that would never happen again.
I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard, and as far as I could,
Love would never enter there again,
My heart was closed for good.
Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find.
That's when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong,
Inside your palm was the key to my heart...
You had it all along.
I know you're going crazy,
I've been there too.
I can see how the weight is making your knees bend,
Let me take some of it from you.
Don't keep yourself closed off,
I am here for you to open up and let go.
There is so much you can't forget or forgive,
Let me help you cope, we can work things out together.
I hear the pain in your voice,
You need me now.
Don't worry; I'll move heaven and hell to get there.
You can't talk; you won't talk about it,
I understand.
Put your worries in my hands.
Lay your head down,
And believe that I will do anything to stop your tears.
You're ready to give up, you've stopped,
and I want to be
If you could see inside my soul,
see inside my heart,
you would know how I long for you
now that we're apart.
If you could see inside my head,
if thoughts were things to see,
you would know how I cherish you
and how much you mean to me.
In all the ways you would comfort me,
the way you held me near,
the way you knew just what to do
to chase away my fear.
The sparkle in your eyes,
your smile, laugh, your touch
are just a few of many reasons
I love you oh so much.
Knowing I couldve talked to you
about any and every thing
and thinking together we would get
through whatever life may bring
I could search the whole world o
You can keep your Army khaki,
You can keep your Navy blue,
I have the World's best fighting man,
To introduce to you
His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen,
The Germans called him "Devil Dog"
His real name is "Marine."
He was born on Parris Island,
The place where God forgot.
The sand is eighteen inches deep,
The sun is blazing hot.
He gets up every morning,
Before the rising sun.
He'll run a hundred miles and more,
Before the day is done.
He's deadly with a rifle,
A bayonet made of steel.
He took the Warrior's calling card,
He's mastered how to kill.
And when he gets to Heaven,
St. Peter he will tell,
One
On the tenth day of November
In Seventeen seventy-five
Two Battalions were formed
And the Marine Corps came alive.
The Continental Congress
Had passed a resolution
For a landing force for the fleet
A new Navy Institution.
Since that day so long ago
Through all conflicts of our Nation
Theyve fueled stories and folklore
And stirred the imagination.
Theyre usually the first to go
The spearhead of the fight
Some who heard they were coming
Have turned tail and took flight.
Theyve offered up, gave their All
And that continues to this day
Standing tall, marching forth
To show others, Fr
The time on deck is 0400,
And soon I'll be getting up.
I want to be a Devildog
But for now I'm just a pup.
Here on Parris Island
Where grown men often cry,
You'll live your life from chow to chow
So time will quickly fly.
Every day we try our best,
To keep from going nuts,
And every day our DI's
Find new ways to kick our butts.
But now we're coming to the end
The Crucible is near,
And we shall face with courage then
Boot camps final fear.
For after this we will no longer be
stupid civilian teens.
When the final test is done,
We'll be United States Marines!
I used to dream of eyes so blue
And loving arms to hold me.
I used to dream of heroic knights
And how gracious they would be.
I used to dream of how I wouldn't settle
For anything less than the best.
I used to dream of how he would majestically
Lay all fears to rest.
I used to dream of fairy tales,
How wonderous they would be.
I used to dream of story books
All patterned after me.
I used to dream of a lot of things,
But the moment I met you,
I immediately stopped dreaming,
Because all of my dreams came true.

The Forbidden Word
The path we walked is long remembered.
So long aware,
and long encumbered.
I hope you see that we had a time;
that I was yours,
that you were mine.
You may have loved me as I could never know.
I held you dear;
my emotions showed.
Do not leave me without yourself.
Take what you've learned
and nothing else.
Depart my arms that held you warm;
reluctantly,
emotions scorn.
Long shall my warmth burn in your heart?
Barely there,
but still a part.
Honesty, a virtue, I know is here.
Our hones lives
are apart, I fear.
Think not what feelings were ever heard;
for I cannot say
The Forbidden Word.
