"Live On"
I feel it in my heart... The love we had is out of reach....
Your empty eyes, and hollow smile... I lie awake all alone....
I wish I could pick up the phone.... And hear your voice....
I can see you in my heart... Your smile that used to send me to the moon...
My love for you will still live on.... When all your boys have left and gone....
I will never forget your laugh... Used to make me cry.....
I just don’t understand what happened to our love... Or was it all a lie?
I can see you in my heart... Your smile that used to send me to the moon...
My love for you will still live on.... When all your boys have left and gone...
I thought I knew what love was... But what do I know?
Those days are gone forever I wish I could just let them go....
I can see you in my heart... Your smile that used to send me to the moon...
My love for you will still live on.... When all your boys have left and gone...
I can see you in my heart... Your smile that used to send me to the moon...
My love for you will still live on.... When all your boys have left and gone...
In my heart you’ll be there forever... Nobody can take your place....
My love for you will live on.... To bad you’ve gone and left..
To bad I’ve learned to live on.....

Jack, I've told you many times hun that you're poetry is astounding, well you've just gone and shown me it is more than astounding. You know I've always loved red rose, there's just so much raw emotion there, by the way I always meant to tell you any woman in her right mind would have gladly taken the rose, it was a gift far more precious (and yes I am aware that it is metaphor *smiles*). And I really loved "live on" also, I sense shades of a very good song (whose title I unfortunately can't remember for the life of me, but I know I enjoy the song very much). I can sympathize with the sentiment behind it, especially the line "I just can't understand what happened to our love, or was it just a lie". I've been there my friend. Absolutely astounding job, just like everything you've ever written, please please keep writing I enjoy reading your poetry very much. *huggles*

"Sparrow Sailin'"
I feel free The rain is gone and the sun has begun to shine Nothing can bring me down Heart sailing on balmly winds...
Catch me if you can.... I’ll always get away....
The sun will set, but my dream awake... Starlight playing in my mind...
Chasing the horizon.... Always makin' a swift get away....
The rain will come again... Can't catch me in the black sails.....
I'm gonna fly away.... I'll always get away...
So long as wind can fill my black sails... I'll always be able to fly away....
Feel the sea.... In my mind..in my heart...
Running in my blood. Breathing in my lungs...
I feel free The rain is gone and the sun has begun to shine Nothing can bring me down Heart sailing on balmly winds...
I'm gonna fly away.... I'll always get away...

"The Moment that Changed the World" by:Jack Sparrow
I can still remember what I was doing that morning.... Standing in the kitchen, sipping tea....
I turned on the television.... Only to see....my world caving in on me...
The towers stood bravely... Wounded heros, icons of the city....
I watched in horror... As so many brave deeds were done....
Knowing so many would die... So many hearts would cry.....
It seems like only a day has gone by.... Looking back....it been so long...
And we’ve all gone... We’ve all changed....
The world is a diffrent place... From what we woke up to...Septemeber 11th, 2001.....
I can still remember what I was doing that morning.... Standing in the kitchen, sipping tea....
I turned on the television.... Only to see....my world caving in on me...
The towers stood bravely.... Icons of heros.....
NOTE: It’s been nearly two years since the attacks on America.......it’s a event that has changed me deeply.....this is for all those who suffered that day....

"Hard Lesson" by:Jack Sparrow
Years go by... Things change or die....
Winds blow constantly.. Yo learn to fall...or you fly.....
Seas break the shores... You can go with the tides...or crush in the intensity...
Trees race for the sky.... Blossom and grow..or fade away....
Kings and pons move across a board... Only a few survive...
Life changes around you... learn to grow....Learn to die....
You are born.... You live.....
You can stand behind the shadows..... All your life.....
Or you can bask in the sun.... And soak up all that the world has to offer...
You can be a face among millions.... Or you can shine....
You can die.....in many ways... And but you’re already dead...if you’re not living life....
