I'd wish you all a Merry Christmas
But then the trouble would begin...

You would tuck me in every night
With gentle kisses and hugs so tight...

Thinking of our troops
Home so far away...

The enigma of the rose
Captivates my mind...

The rumbling thunder shakes my body
While my soul remains still...

I stand and gaze at hallowed grounds
What once stood is no more...

The cards are in the trash.
The love secured away...

Valentines day approaches
In fact it’s almost here...

How does when define colors
To someone void of sight...

Marriage and love are like diamonds
Hidden deep in the dark underground...

Some days it is raining
The drops fall from the skies...

In the days of yore,
The times of Camelot...
