What’s wrong with what I do? I’m not hurting anyone It’s their choice if they consume That’s not my dope I stole it honestly I killed no one I needed the money I had to steal I didn’t mean to hurt her She makes me so mad All I do is work I’m not that bad My kids are o.k. I was only gone an hour I needed time to myself I can’t raise them alone She chose to sell it She needed the money We exchanged our needs How can that be wrong? Why are you picking on me? You should be catching killers It was just a few drinks I didn’t run over anyone Have you got your quota yet? How can you live with yourself? Because of you I’ll lose my job You have cost me my life I have heard it all I stay the course Everything I must do Protects us all!

Forever in our Heart

God bless our troops!!!!!!!!!!!

A Grain Of Hope

My heroes are larger than life They will never fade away Not one plays a professional ball game They’re not acting when

Everyday Heroes

I like to believe my heart is strong Tho’ it has been broken countless times Only time mends the battle wounds Scars are

Scars Of War?
