  Ayat Al-Kursi

  Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255)

  As Allah wills

  For you

  I love you

  You are the love of my life

  2002 (May 1)

  Dear Claire

  I miss you.

  I wrote these songs for you. When I see you again, I’ll sing and play them for you. God willing.

  I’ll try to be home before Christmas.

  Please give Mr Biggs a kiss.

  I wish we had another place.

  Love and miss you much

  May God keep you safe

  For the Love of my Life, My beautiful Claire

  Fuzzy White Cardigan

  Hot cocoa on the night stand

  Twilight skies

  She sits and writes

  Freehand

  The letter writing she likes

  She smiles

  Stares out the window

  First signs of snow

  She sighs

  Writes some more

  All her lows her highs

  Her longing she puts on paper

  With pensive face she drinks her hot cocoa

  Cute girly sips

  She smiles and stares out the window

  Soon I will be home

  She’s no longer alone

  For now

  Her fuzzy white cardigan keeps her warm

  Verse 1

  I met her at the park

  It was late and very dark

  She was scared

  All alone no one cared

  Her feet bare

  She was cold

  Keep running keep running her words odd

  Bold foolish blind dare

  I reached didn’t think

  Didn’t have to it didn’t matter

  Just reached perhaps I could make her feel better

  Remove the sorrow the despair

  Dry her beautiful eyes

  Those tears

  They tore me apart

  Verse 2

  She took a leap of faith

  So did I

  I took her hand

  She took mine

  I took her to my house

  There wasn’t much

  Only the cat dad’s hat a lighter for the cranky old furnace

  She didn’t want or ask for much

  Only a place to rest some warm water

  She washed the cat and fixed the furnace

  She made my house our home

  All she requested was a pen some paper perhaps a diary

  I got her a fuzzy white cardigan too

  Guitar break

  Verse 3

  Now we play in the park

  We’re both here to stay no longer afraid of the dark

  We found each other

  In this very park

  It still gets dark

  But she is not alone

  No longer am I

  Last time we flew a kite

  We brought the cat

  He doesn’t like her washing him he seems to like her though

  When I have to go

  She wears her cardigan and he watches her write

  Outro

  Her white cardigan keeps her warm

  She’s no longer alone

  She made my house our home

  She loves my cat

  Her fuzzy white cardigan keeps her warm

  ************************

  Flying

  Chorus

  I thought I saved her

  Instead she saved me

  Now I’m flying

  No longer crying

  I’m flying

  No longer dying

  We’re flying

  Let’s keep flying

  Chorus 2

  Flying flying flying

  Let’s keep flying

  Flying no longer dying

  Verse 1

  They came in the night

  They took my family my light

  The police came and went

  They left the Chevy with a big dent

  Too scared to stay alone

  I took Dad’s tent

  To the woods

  Perhaps I would be safe

  I found her by the lake

  Chorus 1 & 2

  Verse 2

  I see them still

  She got me off the pills

  I cry at night

  She helps to make things right

  I fight them in my sleep

  She’s there to wake me when I sink too deep

  I thought she was alone

  I thought she needed help

  But I was alone

  In need of help

  Chorus 1 & 2

  Chorus 3

  Flying flying flying

  Let’s stop crying

  Flying

  No more dying

  Flying

  Let’s keep flying

  ************************

  Hold on

  Chorus

  Hold on

  Hold on

  I won’t let you go

  Please don’t let me go

  Hold on

  Hold on

  Love

  Hold on

  Verse 1

  I know you’re scared

  When I’m not there

  You know I care

  I do this for us for our unborn children

  So that they

  We

  May be safe

  Please

  Chorus

  Verse 2

  I miss you

  I miss you

  God it hurts me inside

  Sometimes I’m scared too

  Here alone in a strange place

  I keep to myself

  I have your picture

  That’s what I have

  I cherish you

  I hold on

  Chorus

  Verse 3

  When I’m scared

  I think of you

  When I’m sad

  I remember us

  I have your picture

  It helps me through

  I’m coming home

  Soon

  Please Love

  Hold on

  Chorus

  Funny how things change

  What’s stranger is that they stay the same

  All I know is that our love remains

  Whisper to me the way you do

  Whisper love those words sweet and true

  Whisper whisper whisper

  Whisper more

  Only you will

  Only you will do

  Verse 1

  They came you know I told you they would

  They changed the lock they changed the lock

  They changed the lock to our tree-house

  You remember the lock

  I k

  Remember

  Don’t you forget

  People come and pass by our tree-house

  They try to bypass the lock

  The lock might have changed but the key remains

  Remains

  Chorus

  Funny how things change

  What’s stranger is that they stay the same

  All I know is that our love remains

  The lock might have changed

  *******************************

  Freckles

  She hates her freckles

  I love her freckles

  She wants to hide them behind the make-up

  I want to throw away her make-up

  She’s saving for some lazer surgery

  Lord forgive me but I hope she loses it all in some burglary

  Freckles or not

  I love her

  But with her freckles

  She is all her

  Lord you know what you did

  Her freckles is what makes her unique

  I love my Claire

  Her freckles doesn’t define her

  But it’s part of what makes Claire be her

  Her need to have them be gone is foolish

  Lord come with speed and make her see

  Her freckles is part of her

  Without it she would not be Claire

  I love her regardless

  But her freckles is what makes her Claire

  She hates her freckles

  I love her freckles

  Freckles

  Lord make her see

  Make her see

  Freckle face

  You’re beautiful

  ****************************

  Can’t tell the difference

  Don’t wake me up

  Don’t wake me up

  Don’t wake me up

  Can’t tell what’s real and what’s not

  Can’t tell what’s reality and what’s fantasy

  Girl since I met you my dreams came true

  The sun shines brighter

  Colors are warmer

  Everything tastes better

  Am I dreaming or am I awake

  Girl, am I dreaming or is this our reality

  Can’t tell the difference

  Can’t tell the difference

  If I’m dreaming

  Don’t wake me up

  Don’t wake me up

  I can’t tell the difference

  Can’t tell the difference

  Walks in the park

  Hand in hand soaring like small ants above the hill

  Can’t tell the difference

  Was that a mountain or was it a hill

  Was that an ant or birds crawling down the hill

  Can’t tell the difference

  Can’t tell the difference

  Don’t wake me up

  Don’t wake me up

  Don’t wake me up
