And Tomorrow

When we meet again

The people we are

Will be yesterdays ghosts

And the things that passed

Between us then

Just far away dreams

But the feelings inside

Though weathered with time

Will endure through it all

G. Buck

Beginnings

If I reached out and touched you

Placed my hand upon your cheek

And a tear spoke of my loneliness

Girl, would you think me weak?

Would you see me looking for your smile

And a moment of your time

Or would you see another man

Just handing you a line?

As we wander through this maze called life

Its the people that we meet

And how we touch them with our love

That makes our lives complete

So if a cloud of sadness seems

To float across my eyes

You only see this longing

That I'll never realize

For if I touched you, kissed your lips

Ran my fingers through your hair

Who would cure the heartache

When so soon you were not there

But I'm not one to soon forget

Once my hearts been touched

Such a friendship we could share

If only just that much

So if you find it worth your while

To write me now and then

We'll learn about each others lives

I'll know you through your pen

And though our paths should never cross

Upon this earth again

I'll always know down in my heart

In you, I've found a friend.

Dreams

Where has tomorrow gone?

Can you see it in my eyes?

It slipped from my grasp

Didn't even say good-bye

I remember all my yesterdays

Were filled with future plans

Of school and home and family

And helping common man

Am I all through with dreaming?

Is there no goal I'll achieve

Seems that anything I reach for

Always turns it's back and leaves

The past fades to obscurity

The future's not for me

So I'll live for the moment

And accept my destiny.

G. Buck

Family

It's part of growing up to say

I want to leave, make my on way

To find myself, yes that's the key

Without the crutch of family

Now on my own, I've come to find

That what I seek I left behind

And when it's time to settle down

I'll build my life on what I've found

The model in my heart, you see

Will be my loving family

G. Buck

How Long is Forever

I promised my heart forever

I promised my love always

To feel alone again never

To be with you thru all the days

You came to me in the darkness

Lost and alone and in pain

Sent out your love to heal me

And make me whole again

The sound of your laughter

And a heart felt smile

Little joys that you brought me

As we'd chat for a while

The fire and the passion

As we each shared our bed

Felt I'd always known you

Was so sure we'd someday wed

The love we share is special

Of that there is no doubt

We could not find a place for it

And so we cast it out

I've had my share of hard goodbyes

And promises not kept

Of love I thought would pull me thru

And darling I have wept

Forever is a long long time

For a promise to stay true

But thats how long exactly

I'll be in love with you

G. Buck

.

Goodbye

You taught me how to love

And taught me how to give

Helped me open up my heart

Learn what it meant to live

.....

Stolen from me in a flash

And trapped inside a shell

You gave it all you had to give

Caught in a living hell

.....

I tried to do it all you know

And catch you when you fell

With dreams of hope when you were lost

Pushed hard you when you were well

.....

But I broke the vow I gave you

So many years ago

No matter how the progress went

I wouldn't let you go

.....

And so you found your own way out

A ticket out of hell

I hope you found a happy place

Where your soul can dance as well

.....

And I hope you can forgive me

For the dreams that I let fade

For the strength that I ran out of

And the lie I couldn't say

.....

Goodbye my love the tears are done

The dark I'll shut away

And start to look for reasons

That I should face another day

.....

You taught me how to love

So long ago it seems

And now how a Goodbye is done

An ending nice and clean

.....

G. Buck
