Chivalry

U ain't gotta worry,

I'm not asking u 2 take off ur clothes,

I just wanna take u out 2 dinner,

And get 2 know u better,

Do u suppose,

That u could spend an evening, 

With no pressure,

Just food, drink & company,

They say chivalry is dead,

But "they" don't know me,

Princesses should have doors opened,

Chairs pulled out,

Jacket over their shoulders,

When they are cold,

Eye contact,

Cell phone off,

Being treated with respect,

Should never get old...

2night u ain't a bad b***h,

U'll be treated like a lady,

Sing u a song,

Tell a couple jokes,

I just wanna see u smile,

Get 2 know u better,

An evening with no pressure,

I'm not tryin to lay u down,

Somebody said "chivalry is dead"

But "somebody" don't know me,

Princesses should have doors opened,

Chairs pulled out,

Jacket over their shoulders,

When they are cold,

Eye contact,

Cell phone off,

Being treated with respect,

Should never get old...

After dinner and a movie,

I'm gonna drive u home,

Walk u 2 ur door,

Maybe kiss u on the cheek,

Ask u if I can call u 2morrow,

Then I'm really gonna call u,

Unless u call me first,

I'm not like these other guys,

I'm not ashamed 2 admit it,

All that's on their minds,

And it's what THESE ladies like,

Is just another "hit it and quit it"

But....

Princesses should have doors opened,

Chairs pulled out,

Jacket over their shoulders,

When they are cold,

Eye contact,

Cell phone off,

Being treated with respect,

Should never get old...

Chivalry ain't dead.... 

Dance With Me

Put ur hand in mine,

Let me lead u 2 the floor,

Feel the music in ways u never did before,

Look in2 my eyes,

See what's in my soul,

Maybe u will find,

Everything u've been looking 4...

I know I speak poetic,

It's just what's on my mind,

I've seen a lot of ladies,

But none were quite as fine,

Girl like u,

Guy like me,

That kinda thing never happens,

We could re-write history...

(Dance With Me)

If I could sing,

I'd sing a song,

That u would want 2 hear,

All night long,

Underneath the moonlight,

Just u and I,

Fallin' in love,

I know it might sound crazy,

U prob'ly hear it all the time,

I never believed in soul mates,

But perhaps u r mine,

Girl like u,

Guy like me,

That kinda thing never happens,

We'd re-write history...

(Dance with Me)

Out on the dance floor,

2 become 1,

Let the music move u,

Tempo slow,

I think we'd be good 2gether,

Wouldn't u like to know?

Let's go... Dance with me....

Put ur hand in mine,

Let me lead u 2 the floor,

Feel the music in ways u never did before,

Look in2 my eyes,

See what's in my soul,

Maybe u will find,

Everything u've been looking 4...

Dance With Me.. 

Hotel Questions

A faded Leather bible in my right hand,

So many questions,

So little time,

A day old coffee cup is in my right hand,

Worn out words on the side say "Jesus Saves"

But does he see?

Does he know?

How difficult it is 2 just sit down,

Cry it out and let it go?

Does he hear me,

When I pray,

Would I recognize his voice,

If he were 2 say... It'll all be okay?

I've shook my fists,

I've clenched my teeth,

I've punched out walls,

I've stomped my feet,

I've shouted up 2 heaven more than I should,

I don't have patience,

2 wait around for answers,

I need 2 know now...

I need 2 know now...

If he sees,

If he knows

If he has the power,

Why doesn't he change the way things go,

Does he hear me,

When I pray?

Would I recognize his voice,

If he were 2 say... 

It'll all be okay?

Sometimes my thoughts get the best of the best of me,

And even I get lost in whatever's left of me,

I've never been a holy man,

I believe what I believe,

So if u're really up there,

Could u help me understand???

Do u see?

Do u know?

How difficult it is 2 just sit down,

Cry it out and let it go?

Do u hear me,

When I pray,

Would I recognize ur voice,

If u were 2 say... It'll all be okay?

..... Day old coffee cup is in my right hand....worn out words on the side,

say "Jesus Saves"... 

Once Upon A Time

October 27th, a day that will remain in my heart as Enchanted. I will get back to that later, first I need to put some background in the present. Let's go back to September 1984. I was a 9 year old and I had the world at my feet. I found out that my parents were going to adopt a little girl. This wasn't just ANY little girl, this was a baby.. We were going to get her the minute she was born. All I could think about was having to share my toys and how the parental attention I got, was going to be gone. Fast Forward to Nov 1984, we arrived in Illinois and we were awaiting the baby's arrival. I listened to the stories about the "mother". I learned that we were saving this little girl from a life of uncertainty. The morning on Nov 14 came, and when she was born, everything changed. I knew that I had a responsibility to her, I knew I had to protect her from everything.. And for 29 years, that's what I tried to do. I was able to protect her from a predator pastor, and some sick sick "family friends" when my parents went to jail, I was even able to help my Uncle protect her when her biological mother tried to take her away from me. I wasn't able to protect her from finding substances that turned her life upside down. I feared for her life on a daily basis. I reminisce today, because yesterday, I saw the one look on her face that I wasn't sure I would ever see.. HAPPINESS. My sister married, who I believe is her soulmate. Every picture taken will show the very meaning of happiness. I have prayed for yesterday's moment for her for as long as she's been alive. I am in awe of her wife and her wife's family. Their acceptance of Amanda and their love for her makes my heart smile. There is someone for everyone, there IS someone who will show you happiness! Amanda found hers online, 3 states away. October 26, 2013, Amanda begins her Happily Ever After! 

Fairy Tales are Real! 

I believe they will be.. HAPPILY EVER AFTER
