No One Like You

We share a bond, it's true
I love you more than life itself
I only hope you knew!

That I would've done anything
I would've given you everything
Anything you'd ever ask for
Not that you'd ever ask or even let me give.

You are one of a kind
There's no one else like you
Not here or anywhere
Nor will there ever be another you.

We shared the most amazing times together
Laughed at what could only ever be laughed at
Shared with each other our kindness and hearts
Forever connected, they'll never part.

Like a soldier you fought until your last breath
And gave everyone you knew in life a bit of yourself
Sharing with us memories of you traveling the world
Dancing on stages, sharing culture and gaining respect in a time when there was all but none.

You're a true warrior of our time
I'm glad you had time and a place to shine
In our hearts and memories you now live on
Till tomorrow comes and we meet again,
I love you Uncle, farewell.

Thankful

All the amazing people in my life
Influence me at different times.
Sometimes in subtle flowing motion
Picking me up when I fall too.

Slightly effecting each others being
By our presence in each others lives.
Influencing daily choices by conversations had.

Each day's a new day
A story yet to unfold
Another way of sharing love
To the ones we treasure most.

I can't imagine life
If not for my wonderful friends, family and acquaintances.
For without them my life wouldn't be the same.

It would be a life not lived
With cherished memories not made
Without love shared with my nearest and dearest.
An experience not yet had.

I'd like to thank the special people in my life
For sharing with me yours.
The fun times and joy, the heart ache and pain
All of which is mine and yours.

I'm thankful for each and everyone of you
Every single day
And I look forward to our next experience
Here's to more memories made.

Down To Rest

Life is short, too short sometimes.
I'm sure you lived your life well.
Unfortunately your life has been taken away.
So young, down to rest you lay.

Your life was a privilege we've all been blessed with.
You'll never know how you've touched our hearts.

It must've been hard knowing all this time.
You were destined to live such a short life.

May the memories live on and the pain subside.
You'll always be with me in my thoughts as a child.
When we were close and happy, not a care in the world.
In the countryside we played until the sunset low.

Now you're in the sky shinning down bright.
Twinkling like a star on our dark nights.
Keeping an eye out if anything goes down.
We know you are watching till we meet again.

Love you my Cuz!!!

Jaded

Here's a song I wrote about 5 years ago called Jaded. It's one of my favourite songs I've written. I've performed this a few times and will hopefully record it soon.

Enjoy ;)


I once was here but now I've gone
Far away to find myself again
So many lies and so much deceit
Not just in the home but also on the streets
But now I've gone
I don't need it anymore
I once had a life but now it's faded
Listening to everyone's thoughts so jaded.

I'm leaving this I know this is not what I want
I don't wanna spend my life being someone that I'm not
It's not right and I refuse to do so
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving this
Get out of my way before you get dismissed.

I once was here but now I've gone
I gave you all a chance but you all did me wrong
Whenever I feel pain it's when I'm with you
I know it's time to move on and that's what I'm going to do.

I once was here but now I've gone
I gave you all a chance but you all did me wrong
I've done nothing bad to you but none of you care
You only want what's good for you so you step everywhere.

You step on my life, you step on my joy
Try to cover it up like you had no choice
But I know you did, I'm not stupid
I know how it works that's why I stopped you when I did.

I've been good.
I've been nicer than nice trying to help everybody out
But it's so so hard, it's like they want me but they still push me away
So I tried the best I could. (but was it enough).

I once was here but now I've gone
Far away to find myself again
So many lies and so much deceit
Not just in the home but also on the streets
But now I've gone
I don't need it anymore
I once had a life but now it's faded
Listening to everyone's thoughts so jaded......
