"The Shattering
Of Freedom"
The day begins
Brisk and bright
Sun was shining
Not a cloud in sight
The day was shattered
Not long after
A violent crash
Shook building rafters
Fireballs filled
The morning sky
We're all in shock
A nation wonders "why"
Terror and shrieks
Around the world
Rubble tossed
And buildings hurled
These evil people
Will pay the ultimate price
They took so much away
Stole so many lives
No one can contemplate
The attack the world has shared
They twisted our feelings
How could someone dare
Something no one on earth
Is neglecting to feel
It's hitting us all
Yet seems so unreal
An unsure country
Sure of one thing
Together we stand
United we sing
While Lady Liberty
Looks on with pride
As Americans become heroes
Saving hundreds of lives
Still this nation
Knows not what to say
Though we all agree on one thing
God Bless The USA
By: Chris Church
Ace
The hard times you're going through
Will get better soon
You ease it with booze
An occasional tune
While you go through it
Don't think you're alone
I'm here by your side
As solid as stone
I'll be here as long
As I possibly can
To be a listening ear
Or to lend you a hand
The only thing
That I can't do for you
Is hold you in my arms
Which is what I want most to do
As long as you know I'm here for right now
And that I'll never leave
If I know you
There's an ace up that sleeve
You don't know it now
Who knows when you will
But once you see what it is
Then you'll start to heal
I'll do what I can
To get you to see
That as long as you hurt
You can lean right on me
By:Chris Church
Another One Gone
I thought I'd found
A love so strong
I've looked and waited
Oh so long
Straight to my heart
Is where she went
I've cherished each moment
That we've together spent
So many times
I've given up
Right when the doors open
They slam right back shut
Don't wanna give up
On this love that we've found
I'm trying everything I can
As hopeless as it sounds
How can she give up
On this wonderful thing
Thinking of losing her
My heart breaks , my ears ring
I feel burning from deep inside
The pain and tears
I'm trying to hide
I can't eat
I can't sleep
The hurt that's been caused
Just runs so deep
I'm sick of overcoming
These feelings of pain
Everytime I see a glimmer of sun
Down comes the rain
By:Chris Church
Friends
Friends can be so hard to find
But you were there for me
If I never noticed there at first
It didn't take long to see
You help me through the times that hurt
With kind words from your heart
You help me now, you helped me then
You helped me from the start
So lucky I am
To have a friend like you
When the skies turning gray
You turn it back to blue
I only hope you understand
Your help's appreciated much
And if someday we're somewhere else
I hope we keep in touch
Just one more thing before I go
I want you to know this too
I love you so, and can't begin
To show my thanks to you
By:Chris Church
Written For Bryna
Goals
Baseball players see the wall
Over that's where they wanna hit the ball
The checkered flag is what a racer sees
They aim for that and shoot the breeze
A singer sees a crowd of fans
Their star goes up, and they hope it never lands
Hockey players see the net
They slam the puck and see what they get
I have a goal just as they do
Only mine isn't to score,it isn't to win, it's just to be with you
By: Chris Church
Angel, for your birthday
I wish I could do more
I'd love the chance to hold you
To show up at your door
But the only way that I know how
To show my feelings true
Is to give my heart and soul
In this poetry to you
If I could I'd give
The world to you
Tons of hugs and kisses
And a million I Love You's
Wrap you in my arms
And look in your eyes so deep
Make this day your very best
And hold when you sleep
Take all your troubles on myself
So you can feel serene
Make this day spectacular
And nothing in between
But for now, this poetry's
The best that I can do
To show you what you mean to me
And to tell you I love you
Happy Birthday, I Love You, angel
Chris
If I Could Write A Song
If I could write
A song to you
You'd see my love
Is strong and true
It runs as deep
As the ocean blue
Then you'd know
That I love you
As of now
You have no clue
It makes me feel
So sad and blue
But you'll find out
And time will tell
But till then
I'll go through hell
By:Chris Church
If Only I Knew How
Your touch, your smell
The way you kiss
When I'm with you
It's purely bliss
You're my angel sent
From up above
To fill me with
Undying love
For you I would lay
My life right down
Just so you'd never
Wear a frown
Just a tear
One little tear
Falls from my eye
As I wish you were here
You own my soul
You own me now
To show my love
If only I knew how
By:Chris Church
I'm Always Here
My heart was broken
The other night
I wish I could make
My feelings right
I wish that I loved
Another girl
But you sent my heart
In such a whirl
I wish I could tell you
I'm always here
In case you're in need
You shouldn't fear
If you need a shoulder
On which to cry
I'd do anything
For you I would die
By:Chris Church
Is It Yes Or No
You have my heart
It's in your hands
You are the one
I'd like to land
I don't know
If you love me too
I really do not
Have a clue
I've called you up
A time or two
But you won't say
If you feel this too
I wish that you'd
Just say "get lost"
But I'll try to win you
At any cost
If you won't tell me
Yes or no
I'll keep trying
Until I know
By:Chris Church
Just Be Happy
My love for you
Grows more each day
It grows in all directions
In each and every way
I hope you're happy
Whatever choice you make
But I don't know how much more
My dying heart can take
At this moment
We're only friends
But all my love
To you I send
By:Chris Church
Just One Shot
These feelings for you
Began long ago
But I was afraid
Afraid to let it show
I don't know why
I was so scared
So afraid to tell you
That I really cared
I'm not saying I love you
But I like you a lot
How will I know
If I can't give it a shot
Just one chance
Is all I ask
If I have one chance
I'll finish the task
By:Chris Church
Looking Back
You don't always know
Just how much you care
When you first start out
Maybe the feelings just aren't there
It's weird what you miss
Once you know that she's gone
You miss all the small things
Feel so lost and alone
You see all the good things
That you missed before
You end it fairly quickly
Then realize your choice was poor
But it took ending it
To figure out, it could have been more
If I'd given it more time
Maybe it was her, I could for lifetimes adore
By: Chris Church
Loving You
I really love you
I truly do
The thing that hurts
Is I can't have you
What he loves you
I love you double
You don't know
And that's the trouble
If you'd believe
I'd have a chance
If I could have just one dance
I think I'd sweep you
Off your feet
But he's got it all
I can't compete
By:Chris Church
My Brave Katy
Never have I seen
A girl as brave as Katy
To be brave enough to make a life
For sweet little Kylie and Sadie
To leave what she's known for so long now
So she can bring happiness
To her family somehow
Overcoming the fear
I know she must feel
Finally realizing life's not lost
Her fate is not sealed
Though I can't tell her now
I can only hope she knows
My brave little Katy owns my heart
My Katy owns my soul
By:Chris Church
My Chevelle
I have a car
A Sweet Chevelle
A pea-green beast
Her name-Michelle
With a 307
A small V-8
But she'll never be done
If I keep at this rate
I see her complete
In all my dreams
She'll be such
A screaming machine
With a 396 under the hood
Boy will she be lookin' good
Rally wheels and a vinyl top
She'll never make it to the shop
She'll be kept so nice and clean
But she'll be blue
Not that nasty green
Bucket seats
And a GT wheel
To ride in her
Will be such a thrill
White letter tires
With beauty rings
If only it were real
And not in my dreams
By: Chris Church
My Friend Katy
I care so much
For this Katy of mine
But there's so much distance
She's too far to find
When I step outside
I look all around
To the left, to the right
She's nowhere to be found
A glance through a crowd
That's all that I need
To overflow this heart
That I need to feed
But will I need more
Once she's caught my eye
Will I get the feeling
If I don't touch her I'll die
Then what's after that
Can I just care too much
And how can I show her
How much I cherish her love
I know what I'll be
Her lover, her friend
So much of my love
To her I will send
From now until
The end of time
Will she be the one
That just slipped by
By:Chris Church
My Oath To You
I've messed up
A time or two
I went away
And left you blue
You opened your heart
Back up to me
How I could ever repay you
I just don't see
You've brought that joy
That I once knew
To give you all my love
Is all I can do
Maybe not diamonds
Maybe not gold
Only my heart
Only my soul
What's mine is yours
Everything you see
I'll give you all I can
Whatever it may be
If It's beyond my power
To give it to you
I'll give all I've got
To get it for you
All I need
Is you in my arms
Give me all your love
And all your charms
This my creed
My oath to you
Everything I can do
I'll do......for you
By:Chris Church
My Sweet Little Girl
Your hair of blonde
Your eyes of blue
You feel like someone
I've always knew
There's just a way
You make me feel
This romance seems
Just so unreal
Can't wait to meet
This girl so sweet
The way she is
No girl competes
By:Chris Church
My Way
The way I show
My feelings for you
May be different
Than the way that you do
I hope giving them to you
Doesn't make you mad
Because if you hurt
I feel so sad
I just want you to see
What you mean to me
I hope telling you
Won't make you flee
I can't look you
In the face any longer
But not really knowing
Just makes my love stronger
I'm hurting so bad
Because you have another love
But you are the girl
I've been dreaming of
By:Chris Church
The Memory
Tasting this wine
Then your sweet red lips
In my mind the word "love"
Constantly flips
Your capturing voice
The way that you move
Feeling your body
Move with this sweet groove
Grinding together
Skin against skin
And locked on my face
This wonderful grin
Your beautiful face
In the flickering light
I wish you could see
The same lovely sight
In my mind
This memory stays
Even if you are
So far away
By:Chris Church
Things Change
Was it ever meant to be
Was I just blind
And couldn't see
You said you loved me
You said you cared
Did your feelings change
When I got there
Was it the way I looked
The way I dressed
What did I do
To make you care less
You really hurt me
But you don't know
'Cause I think I'd hurt you
If I let it show
If I hurt you
I hurt me too
I cannot win
What can I do
By: Chris Church
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day
Is a wonderful thing
Maybe one day
I'll give you a ring
But for now I hope
These roses will do
To show you how much
I feel for you
Maybe someday
On down the line
You'll understand
That you're my sunshine
By:Chris Church
When They Want It To End
Agree-
If I agree
Then all the chances are gone
No more relationship problems
Yet no love to rely on
For a while I'll be scared
Sad and alone
But no more arguments
No casting of stones
Could go on forever
Thinking this was the one
Maybe lose everything
My life could come undone
Disagree-
If I disagree
Then we fight on
Try and sort it out
See if it's right or it's wrong
If it still doesn't work out
At least we gave it a try
All the reasons on the table
Never have to wonder why
If we go on forever
That speaks for itself
For years down the road
Family pictures on the shelf
By: Chris Church
Where Are Our Problems
As we lie on our backs
Under the stars
Where are our problems
Oh, they're so far
Wondering freely
Over this countryside
Telling the feelings
That we no longer hide
Holding your hand
As we walk along
I stop under an oak tree
To sing you a song
I sing from my heart
As I look in your eyes
And I can't help but wonder
If you liked my surprise
Up ahead there's a clearing
Between a few trees
We walk together
And feel that warm breeze
I whisper "I love you"
As you lie in my arms
I love your looks
And your charismatic charms
And as we hold each other
Lost in the night
Where are our problems
They're nowhere in sight
By:Chris Church
Words
The things I write
Are from my heart
Seems I can stop
Once I start
This is not a talent
It's just a way
To show how I feel
This and everyday
Because my words rhyme
Or they're written in verse
They don't mean anymore
Than regular words
But everything I say
Couldn't be more true
And I can't think of a better way
To show my feelings for you
Even though I write many words
It only takes one plus two
To say all the words I need
I LOVE YOU
By: Chris Church
Your Beauty
Your beauty is like
A wonderful song
When I love you
I can't go wrong
I wish that I
Told you before
You found the love
That you adore
But if I am
Way too late
Not having you
Is what I'll hate
I'll try to get you
For the rest of my life
Then maybe one day
You'll be my wife
By:Chris Church
You're My Every Thought
My thoughts of you
They never stop
When I'm with you
My heart just drops
The lonely days
The sleepless nights
I know for me
You'd be just right
I know I've never felt this way
To be with you
Is where I'd like to stay
But for now
You've got a guy
But I could Help you
Reach the sky
My love for you
Just keeps on growing
And my thoughts of you
Aren't close to slowing
By:Chris Church
You're Picture
I stare at your picture
Your beautiful face
You look more delicate
Than silken lace
I speak to your picture
But you're nowhere near
I wish that you
Could just be here
I tried to tell you
But all-for-not
For your heart
Was already caught
I just waited
Far too long
But I know
Your choice
Was wrong
If you could only
Feel my pain
You'd change your mind
Once again
