Sandboxes are for playing
Little children laugh and cry
Build your castles big and strong
Before you grow old and you die

Trucks and dolls are for fantasies
Little children smile and sigh
Build your dreams while you can
Before your time comes and you die

Life and breath are for real
Little children work hard and try
Build yourself real strong and sure
Death is always stalking and you die

Family

Where were you when I needed you?
What you didn't know
You might have guessed
But you chose to overlook
Because to see was painful
I bore your pain
Plus all of mine
While you ignored me
Where in the hell were you?

God take away this awful time
I cannot hold my hatred in
And I'm afraid to let it fly
If I let it go
Outside a safe environment
It may hurt someone innocent
God give me a safe place
A safe person
Who can help me be
Without destroying someone else
Or me
