Dad
How Do I Thank You?

Dad
I have seen you laugh and cry
It's funny the things we are blind to as children
I will take all you have taught me and teach it to my sons
Dad for all of these things
Written by Darcy Charlock
How do I thank you
For all of the things you taught me?
How do I thank you
For all the Love you have shown me?
Could I find the words to express
What you have meant to me through the years?
You have been my rock
Giving me strength when I needed it most
You listened when no one else understood
You kissed away more tears than I can count
You gave me the values I need to live my life
You grounded me to teach me
Right from wrong
You argued with me
Teaching me to fight for what I believe in
You held me in your loving arms
Comforting me when I was hurting
You taught me to hold my head up and never be ashamed
You taught me to believe in myself and
Go for my dreams
Through the years
I watched you sacrifice things you wanted
So that your children could have
I watched you make mistakes and
do your best to make up for them
I have seen you hurt and angry
Never have I seen you hate
I have seen you serious and silly but
Most of all I have seen you love
It's only when I became a mother did I see all of the things you taught me
I know what it means to be a mother
And now, because of you
I know what it means to be a Dad
They will learn it's ok to love someone more than yourself
To punish with love not anger
To fight for your family even if they are wrong
To comfort them when they are in pain
Most of all to love them unconditionally
I thank you

Untrue Hearts
When hearts are untrue
People will be hurt
Things appear normal
Basking in the fragrence
The damage caused by untruth
The heart that once danced
For those whom have not know love
To those lucky enough to find
God sent you love
The precious gift of love
Written by Darcy Charlock
Much will be lost
Caught up in the pleasure
Forgetting about the cost
Families unspared
It takes but a moment to undue
What it took years to share
To the outsider looking in
Unbeknown to them
One of those hearts is living in sin
Of loves' new bloom
Life as you know it
Ends much too soon
Can not be undone
Watching all that is loved
Fade with the evening sun
To loves' violin
Now drowns in the tears
That come with realizing
The sin
The tragedy is a waste
Throwing it all away
In a moment of haste
True love
Don't take it for granted
This most precious gift from Above
He can take it away
Sending with it a message
For hearts that stray
Can be lost
Never forget for hearts' untrue
There will inevitably be a cost

Written for my Mother
A Mothers Love
In a mothers eyes
Some people may think
A mother will walk through fire
There is no ration
It cannot be explained
A mothers love
In a mothers arms
God gave us mothers
The love of a mother
Don't just tell your mother you love her
Written by Darcy Charlock

You can see what she holds dear
Defending her child
Without fault or fear
She's completely insane
Like Jeckle and Hyde
When her child's in pain
Or upon broken glass
The pain she feels means nothing
Her child's love does surpass
No reason or rhyme
To the love a mother feels
Deep inside
Or held captive in her soul
Sometimes it is overwhelmingly
Out of control
Is the dawn's first light
Shelter from the storm
Until the end she will fight
Never leaving them alone
You will find
Comfort, encouragement and love
Giving her child the strength
To never give up
To help us through life
To give us wings and
Teach us to fly
Is a gift all its' own
Too many times we don't realize it
Until we are grown
Show her it is true
You might not be who you are
Had your mother not been there for you
I wrote this for one of the best women I know
He Sent You
They say God gives us friends
I know you are a gift
We have built a friendship
We are friends to one another
Someone to confide in
Never thinking we could be friends
Many things we've shared
You know these words I write
Written by Darcy Charlock
Luv ya Phyl
To Bless the present scene
He gave me an Angel
The day He sent you to me
Sent to enrich my life
No matter what comes to pass
You remain by my side
That could never be lost
All too often friendship comes
With some sort of cost
Faithful and true
God sent you to me
Because I needed you
Someone I can trust
Without you in my life
I know I would be lost
Right from the very start
So much has changed since then
You now hold a piece of my heart
In such a short amount of time
I have grown to love you
Sweet Angel friend of mine
Come straight from my heart
I will remain by your side
From our friendship I will never part

Friends?

Grandpa
I went for a walk to clear my head
The memories of you are so clear in my mind
My heart pounded out of my chest
No memories of your life remain in your head
Ever since I was a little girl
I could never write down
I miss your presence in my life
Grandpa I write this for you
Written by Darcy
the flowers we planted last spring are dead
The cool night air chilled me to the bone
I can not believe that you are gone
How I wish I could turn back the hands of time
I will never forget the day nana called and said,
" Honey grandpa is very ill, I do not want you to worry
but I thought you should know
they say it is only a matter of time before he goes."
I was crying so hard I could barely catch my breath
I drove to the hospital the very same day
I was brokenhearted to find
you didn't know my name
like the flowers we planted
your past is now dead
As I sat there and watched you sleep
all those times we shared come back to me
you were my most favorite grandpa
in the whole wide world
You taught me how to fish and bait the hook
we watched the blue angels on top of the roof
You showed me how to just be myself
to be happy for me and not someone else
all of the things you taught me
I only hope you know my dear grandpa
I love you
just as much as you loved me
Oh, how I wish I could see you one last time
even though you would not know who I am
somehow I think you would understand
By the way I smile and kiss you on the cheek
you were once someone very special to me
so all that who read it will know
how very much I still love you
