This is a song I wrote for a tune in my head....I think it's pretty sad...it sure felt that way when I wrote it....

Silverbird

She said
"I'm going to give you something that will help to numb the pain."
And mentioned she would come back in a while to check on me again
The cold steel slides into my vein and stops my moaning and my pain
I don't know who she is but I will let her use the name
Silverbird

She comforts me when all the world is spinning
inside my head she lifts me up and tells me we are winning
She spreads her wings surrounding me with Heaven's glorious Light
and whispers to me in my dreams
"You'll be home by tonight"
By tonight!

Silverbird The Other National Symbol in my heart
The Other Anthem The Other Flag
The Other Semper Fi when my feet drag

Silverbird The Other Loved One waiting with her arms
Silverbird The Other Training keeping me from harm
Silverbird My Sister and My Buddie's Sister Too
Silverbird My Mother Take Me Back Again Inside
Of You

He says
"It'lll be a while before you try to walk again, but I'll be here right by your side
to lean on until then."
His uniform is bloodied and he wears a thorn of crowns
but something in his voice tells me he'll never let me down
Silverbird

He carried me far from the wet and bloody ground
and protected me from bullets flying all around
and brought me here collapsing in his own weariness and pain
and he said to me
"You'll be ok now."
I'll be ok now!

Silverbird The Other National Symbol in my heart
The Other Anthem The Other Flag
The Other Semper Fi when my feet drag

Silverbird The Other Man beside me in my head
Silverbird The Other Book that promises I never will be dead
Silverbird My Hero and My Savior and My Friend
Silverbird My Brother in the Sun that never ends
Amen

I wrote it for our guys...our boys...and brothers and fathers and our moms and sisters and daughters....

Shannon by Henry Gross

I remember as a kid crying like crazy over the fact of loosing a dog.


Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If poppa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard

Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her

But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her

Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....

I've got a good one that no one has mentioned yet. I'm surprised.

Here ya go:

-

Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, happiness.
Hello, loneliness.
I think I'm a-gonna cry-y.

Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, sweet caress.
Hello, emptiness.
I feel like I could di-ie.
Bye bye, my love, goodby-ye.

There goes my baby
With-a someone new.
She sure looks happy.
I sure am blue.
She was my baby
'Til he stepped in.
Goodbye to romance
That might have been.

Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, happiness.
Hello, loneliness.
I think I'm a-gonna cry-y.

Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, sweet caress.
Hello, emptiness.
I feel like I could di-ie.
Bye bye, my love, goodby-ye.

I'm a-through with romance.
I'm a-through with love.
I'm through with-a countin'
The stars above
And here's reason
That I'm so free:
My lovin' baby
Is a-through with me.

Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, happiness.
Hello, loneliness.
I think I'm a-gonna cry-y.

Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, sweet caress.
Hello, emptiness.
I feel like I could di-ie.
Bye bye, my love, goodby-ye.
Bye bye, my love, goodby-ye.
Bye bye, my love, goodby-ye.
