Committed

You've made your vow
You're committed now

A family man
With a bigger plan

The wheel has turned
All others are spurned

You've made your nest
And we wish you the best

Spring

Hopeful now and optimistic too
All because the light is returning to you
The darkness is receding, fading fast into the night
Constant prayers will now keep that void from sight
Spring is another consolation to our aching souls
For the sunshine and the rain can fill any hole

2014 together

We've walked a path of love and loss
We've stuck it out despite the cost
Now as we watch the future unfold
We get to write of moments yet untold
We're growing older, yes, it's true
But yet each day feels fresh and new
Let's all hold hands as we face the year
And stick together remembering what's dear

False Note

Oh, lovely, lovely songbird mine,
Your golden voice was once so fine
And I often reflect on that wistful time
When your lyric and song were both sublime
Now your verse is heavy and old
Your soaring falsetto distant and cold
Bring back that raw, emotion-filled age
When you were young and coming out of your cage

Starting point

All new beginnings are shrouded in fear
Of not knowing what's around the corner
Of wondering what's near

But in the end when the door is unlocked
More often that not the world hasn't changed
The grass is still green and the sun isn't blocked

The only hold is the fear that was there
The thought of "can I do this?" or "Do I have what it takes?"
The greatest feat is to simply accept the dare.
