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...

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

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

The enigma of the rose
Captivates my mind...

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

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

First kiss of the morning
As you start out the day...

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

You’ve taken my mother
and in a sense my father too...

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