The Love of My Life

The Love of My Life

It was like the world was over,
As you lay in the hospital bed,
Waiting to be dead,
I wished you could stay,
I visited you every day,
I left flowers next to your side,
And wished the doctors had lied,
I will remember that day always,
As you slowly slipped away from me,
I would give up anything for you, even the sea,
I felt your hands turn cold,
And I felt as if my heart had been sold,
I cried at the funeral and with my friends,
Wherever I went without you it was like a bunch of dead ends.

I can never find someone like you,
The love of my life.

Within Me

Within Me

My broken heart cries as I wish you were still near,
all my wishes and dreams replaced with fear.
Fear that I?ll never get you back,
trying to substitute the feelings we both lack.
I know in my heart, it's all true
and that's why I am left here truly blue.
Blue because I know the love I felt
and got in return is gone forever.. forever to burn.
Although we have both moved on, I still feel the pain,
the pain that will always remain...within me.

Until You Without You

Until You Without You


Always feeling alone, until you
I didn't love myself, until you
I didn't care about life, until you
I never held a friend's hand, until you
I never told a friend that I loved her, until you
No one had ever held me for no reason, until you
No one had ever truly known me, until you

Lying in the darkness, without you
I don't know who I am, without you
I don't know what to do with myself, without you
How did I ever get by, without you
How did I ever find comfort, without you
Would I have ever seen my true self, without you
Would I have ever known true friendship, without you

The Darkest Of Days

The Darkest Of Days

The withering pieces on the floor
Are fading memories of the one I adore
A vast ocean of guilt and misery
Longing for dreams that will never be
Hopeless and lost as I blindly stumble
Through every word you spoke, only a mumble
The seas no longer crest upon my shore
And my heart will know warmth nevermore
As cold as the day that you left me there
With broken dreams I could never share
My efforts were many and results so few
For the rest of my life I will dream of you
In the end I will pause at Heaven's gate
And ask the angels why I deserved this fate
As I walk across the clouds you'll know my pain
On the darkest of days some will think it is rain

Several Days Before I Was to Die

Several days before I was to die
A white dove flew into my garden.
It had one black spot on its tail,
As if a drop of ink had soiled
Its purity. It looked at me
As birds do: head sideways,
Neck twisted, almost upside down;
Then went the other way, fluttered,
Cooed, straightened, and stared at me
With more than human stillness. Our eyes
Met, and I felt some understanding
Pass between us, as if it sensed
I was to die and felt compassion.
And then I knew that I would live.
Weeks after my miracle
The dove returned, nesting near me,
An ordinary bird. Of course
I hold it dear. But who lived in
Its eyes? Whose compassion sent
The silent thoughts that turned my will?
I know my own imagination
May have spoken through the bird,
Lifting me from death. But surely
What we'll never understand
Far surpasses what we know.
The dove knows more than we. And I,
Returned from death, am like a boulder
Lifted up and left upon the shore
By some majestic wave.

Lifeless

Lifeless

How can you make me feel this way
Some times I don?t even know what to say
You make me feel so lifeless
And you took it from me with that first kiss
I feel dead, maybe I'm confused
I feel lost, I feel abused
How could you do this to me
This is hurting, cant you see?
I used to think that your love was rare
But now I just don?t care,
Because you made me feel so lifeless
And you took it from me with that first kiss

Lonely Nights

Lonely Nights


Since you’re gone
There is an empty space
Since you’re gone
The world is not the same

I go back to the places we’ve been
It feels like you’re still there
I live all those moments again
Wishing you were here

Since you’re gone
There is a lonely heart
Since you’re gone
Nothing is like it was

There are memories all over the place
Bringing it back all so clear
I remember all of those days
Wishing you were here

Since you’re gone
There is a heart that bleeds
Since you’re gone
I’m not the man I used to be

I follow you're steps in the snow
The traces disappear
We know what we’ve lost when it’s gone
I’m wishing you were here

All those lonely nights
I lied on my bed and cried
I still think of you
Yes I do

The Wrong Way

The Wrong Way

The wrong way, no one ever does this,
We're the best of friends but at one time longed to kiss,

We have done things in opposite array,
But for us maybe God intended it this way.

I ended it all with following words from a friend,
From a pretend friend, who wanted my world to end.

You were my world, each breathe I took, everything I dreamed,
A friendship shouldn't come from this, but amazingly through the dark it beamed.

Maybe my mistake was some sign,
That you were meant to just be a great friend of mine.

I am feeling happy that we are still so close,
Even though we don't shared what I wanted most.

For now I understand what I have gained from all this,
A special friend, someone who for not one moment do I want to miss.

As It Comes To An End

As It Comes To An End

As I sit here in class,
I observe my friends
And look forward to the year
Coming to an end.

It's gonna be sad
To say good- bye.
I'll miss everyone.
I know I will cry.

I remember the day
When I came back
To be with my friends
And get on the right track.

We had so many moments;
Some bad, most great.
I'll always remember the love
And erase the hate.

I don't wanna say good- bye
To all my friends.
I don't want this year
To come to an end.

Promise

Promise


As you sit in silence,
Wondering why
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Until your tears run dry.

When you've been hurt,
And can't believe what they've done
If you need someone to talk to
I'll be the one.

If a close friend hurts you,
And you don't understand
Remember I'm here,
I'll lend a helping hand.

Burdens are lighter when carried by two,
And I just want you to know
I'm here for you.

True Friend

True Friend


Excitement and fear fill our hearts.
Soon a new way of life will start.
Thirteen years have almost past.
But in our mind the memories last.

We've been through it all.
And realized who are true friends are.
The one that was there.
When no one else seemed to care.

So as our senior year comes to an end.
I want to say, thanks for being a true friend.

You Are My Lucky Star

You Are My Lucky Star

You are my lucky star
In life you've helped me get really far
You were always there when I needed you
And I hope I was always there for you too

You are my lucky star
I know God sent you here for me from afar
You had a way of making me happy when I was sad
And if I did something wrong, you wouldn't be mad

You are my lucky star
My best friend is also what you are
You helped me realize what I'm living for
But now you're gone & each day I'm missing you more

What You Mean To Me

What You Mean To Me ...


You turned my darkness into light;
You made everything all right.
You picked me up when I was down;
You turned my life around.
If I didn't have you, what would I be?
A blessing is what you are to me.

When I needed you the most, you were there;
Even if it seemed like you didn't care.
When I didn't think I could make it another day,
You chased all my doubts away.
If I didn't have you, what would I be?
A treasure is what you are to me.

The world is full of many people, it's true;
But there is only one of you.
You fill my heart with love;
You're a God-sent gift from above.
If I didn't have you, what would I be?
An angel is what you are to me.

Lost and alone, I will no longer be;
Because you are here with me.
There is no reason to be sad;
You've taken away all the bad.
If I didn't have you, what would I be?
A best friend is what you are to me!!

Loosen The Chains

Loosen The Chains


I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend,
I wait for the day when she will become free.
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend.

Someday she'll come home and our friendship will mend,
For now I will pray but alone I will be.
I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend.

Although she has the kindest soul god could lend
Her troubles were much too heavy to carry.
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend.

Fourteen years old is a young life to descend
She's been locked away and it's no use to plea.
I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend.

A life filled with misery she can't pretend.
She showed me her terrors but I couldn't see,
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend.

I'm praying that one day this pain will all end.
I'm waiting, I'm wishing she'll return to me.
I wish I could loosen the chains on my friend,
She's summoned a fate which I can't comprehend

My Angels

My Angels


There are two angels whom I know,
Both so glorious they seem to glow.
When they smile you don't need the sun,
And that's not all, these girls are fun!
One is sweet and thinks of nothing but others,
The second is strong and has many colors.
My love for them grows every day,
My closest friends forever I pray.
I miss my angels when we are apart,
They fill an emptiness that is in my heart.
Annie I'll miss you when you are away,
You'll always be my angel tomorrow and today.
Rossie, you are perfect, perfect as can be,
My love for you both won't fade,
This you'll always and forever see.

Can You See It In My Eyes?

Can You See It In My Eyes?
You don't know how I'm feeling.
I have yet to vocalize
Desire deep inside me.
Can you see it in my eyes?

I tremble when I'm near you
Heat travels up my thighs
and I want you with an urgency
That I just can't describe.

Dare I reach out to touch you?
Do you think you'd realize
How much I want and need you?
Can you see it in my eyes?

I long to say, "I love you,"
But am scared of your reply.
Terrified like a child
I've become paralyzed.

The camouflaged emotions
Lead to pain and silent cries.
And yet I just can't tell you.
Don't you see it in my eyes?

Confessing through this poem
My dilemma summarized.
The feeling's quite cathartic,
But will lead to my demise.

In The Rain

In The Rain

In the rain I stood taking my last few breaths,
just standing their thinking about the last words you said
"IT?S OVER, YOU & ME COULD NEVER BE AGAIN"
now my mind has gone half crazy for you.
We used to laugh and hug, but now you gone mad
In the rain I stood with flashbacks of you & me having fun.
So in the rain I stood wondering
if you are ever got to come back to me.

I Believe in You

I Believe in You
I believe you're a special and gifted person.
I believe you have what it takes to make your dreams come true.
I believe you have a lot of inner strength and courage.
I believe you're creative, intelligent and capable.
I believe you have a bright future ahead.
And I hope you never forget that someone believes in you!

Dreams, drifting, deepened and watered

Dreams, drifting, deepened and watered,
Lonesome, sunken and so battered,
Cast away like dead mans corpse,
Shipwrecked on lifes long mysterious course,
Crying, raging from the soul within,
For a love lost, crushed and aching.

Clinging to a life that knows no care,
Im sinking beneath a million tears,
Captured, enslaved and compelled by a love
That only your heart can free me of
A love thats saddened and filled with fear,
To be enriched by your loves sweet tear.

I love you more than life itself

I love you more than life itself
But I’m afraid to love.
My heart is like the fragile wings
Of a tiny little dove.

I'm scared to get too close.
I feel that I can't win.
You'll love me for a little while
Then you'll set me free again.

I've lived so long on hopes and dreams
I don't know what to do.
I don't think I can trust my heart,
For it belongs to you.

I know you'll only hurt me
Yet, I still keep running back.
Between the paths of our hearts
There's a worn and beaten track.

You've got my heart held on a string.
It’s breaking right in two.
Enough belongs to me -to hurt-
The rest belongs to you.

I know that somewhere in your heart
There is a place for me.
I just don't know how to find it
And there's no way to make you see.

I can only hope that someday
You'll wake up and you'll find,
That while my heart belongs to yours,
Yours, too, belongs to mine.

As the sun rises in the East

As the sun rises in the East
So the breaking dawn of my love begins
As the sun sets in the West
I am overwhelmed with a burning desire
A desire locked down deep inside
One that cannot be concealed anymore
I long for one sweet kiss to quench my thirst
I long for one tender touch that will last a lifetime
At the end of it all you are my deepest desire!
I love you not today nor tomorrow but forever!

Unimaginable to queens and doves

Unimaginable to queens and doves
I was caught between soft gasps of delight
and the privileged serenity
of taking in your smile

That solicitous smile
delivered hope to my soul
when soft swept words carried
dusk into nocturnal magic

Then a trickle of light nestled your hair
and I waited for the wind
and tiny bells to ring
the anticipating sound of surrender.

If I've ever felt apart from the world

If I've ever felt apart from the world...
you brought me back

If I've ever cried my eyes out...
you've made them stop

If I've felt fear has kidnapped my heart...
you've rescued me

If I've ever felt deep misery or loneliness in my eyes...
you've filled them with hope and sincerity

If I've ever run away from all that I was afraid of...
you've showed that me I need to face them

If I've ever hidden from the crazy side of my mind...
you've showed me light

If I've ever been torn or bent...
you've straightened me out

If I've lost pieces to my heart...
afraid that they wouldn't be put back together...
you've been there to show me it's never lost.

When you're in love

When you're in love,
it's like springtime,
when you're in love
the birds sing...
when you're in love
it is ring time
in your mind
love is everything.
When you're in love
it is waltztime,
dancing on air in the blue,
and it's a wonderful day
when you are going away
on a honeymoon cruise
just for two.

Eyes that are crystal clear

Eyes that are crystal clear,
one thinks he could see forever.
But within you lies uncertainty and confusion,
like boulders in a raging river.

The swift current, the choppy waters,
this makes for a rough and tumble ride.
Be brave, be true to yourself,
with me there is nothing to hide.

Conquer the rapids, guide this craft,
don't sail this adventure short.
At journey's end, where the water calms,
could lie a safe and wondrous port.

So, it's through great canyons, on to the ocean,
let us greet the unknown.
Paddle fast, my love, get to my heart,
for it is there you might find your own.

An Old Man's Dream

An Old Man's Dream
Last night I dreamed of you again and heard you call to me,
And I went back in memory to the way things used to be...
Your eyes were full of caring and tender as your smile,
For we were young again, my love- for just a little while.
You reached across and touched my face, the way you used to do,
Then in my dream you whispered, "Ma Cushla, I love you."
And I stood tall, my head held high, unbent from years of toil,
For we were young again, my love- for just a little while.
When I awoke, alone and old, I left you in my dream,
Where you stay young and beautiful, in a world forever green.
Just dreams of you are all that's left - to ease life's final mile,
To see your face, to feel your touch... for just a little while.

An Angel To Me

An Angel To Me
The moment I opened my heart and let you in
I saw this great love starting to begin.
I opened my eyes to a vision of you
I hope, I pray your feelings are true.
I have loved and I have paid the cost
And I have felt the pain of the love I lost.
But, now, I think I have truly found
An Angel who walks upon the ground.
You go beyond all limits for me
Just to show your love endlessly.
I could search my whole life through
And never find another 'you'.
You are so special that I wanted you to know
I truly, completely love you so.

A Mother's Love

A Mother's Love
There are times when only a Mother's love Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a Mother's love Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a Mother's faith Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence We need from day to day.
For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels And sent from God above...

You Were There

You Were There

You were there when we took our first steps,
And went unsteadily across the floor.
You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided,
Until our steps took us out the door...
You worry now "Are they ok?"
Is there more you could have done?
As we walk the paths of our unknown
You wonder"Where have my children gone?"
Where we are is where you have led us,
With your special love you showed us a way,
To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.
Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day.
And where we go you can be sure,
In spirit you shall never be alone.
For where you are is what matters most to us,
Because to us that will always be home...

What Makes a Dad

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad

Teachers

Teachers

Paint their minds
and guide their thoughts
Share their achievements
and advise their faults
Inspire a Love of knowledge and truth
As you light the path
Which leads our youth
For our future brightens with each lesson you teach
Each smile you lengthen
Each goal you help reach
For the dawn of each poet each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher
And the wisdom they bring

Teacher's Prayer

Teacher's Prayer

Lord, Please help me,
To strengthen their voices,
bodies and minds,
To express their feelings and
control them sometimes,
To explore what's near
and venture afar,
But most important to love
who they are.

Grandpa's tool shed

Grandpa's tool shed is a special place,
Full of mystery and delight,
Where little kids can come and watch
While Grandpa builds a kite.
Each day before the sunset,
Grandpa is always there,
The sound of his saw and hammer
Filling the evening air.
Grandpa can fix anything
And make it look brand-new-
He fixes toy cars and airplanes,
Trucks and trailers, too.
There are many happy moments
Pleasant to recall,
But Grandpa in his tool shed
Is the nicest one of all.

Grandparents are special people
with wisdom and pride.
They are always offering love and kindness
and are always there to guide.
They often make you feel
so confident and strong.
Their arms are always open

They try to help out
in every way that they can.
They love all their grandchildren the same
whether you're a child, woman or man.
They are always there to listen
and to lend a helping hand.
They show you respect
and they try to understand.
They give their love, devotion and so much more,
that's easy to see.
Grandparents, what perfect examples
of the kind of person that we should be.

I like to walk with grandma

I like to walk with grandma,
Her steps are short like mine.
She doesn't say "Now hurry up",
She always takes her time.
I like to walk with grandma,
Her eyes see things like mine do -
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.
Most people have to hurry,
They don't stop and see
I'm glad that God made Grandma.
Unrushed, and young like me.

You'll love me yet and I can tarry

You'll love me yet and I can tarry
Your love's protracted growing:
June reared that bunch of flowers you carry
From seeds of April's sowing.

I plant a heartful now: some seed
At least is sure to strike,
And yield what you'll not pluck indeed,
Not love, but, may be, like!

You'll look at least on love's remains,
A grave's one violet:
Your look? that pays a thousand pains.
What's death? You'll love me yet!

I prayed for you before we met

I prayed for you before we met,
Not knowing who you'd be.
I asked the Lord to send a friend.
One chosen just for me.

I asked that you'd be Divine,
With wisdom of His ways.
A friend to help and guide me
In the troubles of these days.

So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge,
But encourage us as we walk.

The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble.
But to have a friend to catch our fall,
Teaches us to be humble.

When I asked the Lord to send a friend,
Though many came and went.
He gave much more than I ever asked,
For YOU ARE THE FRIEND HE SENT

I can't always be with you

God made you as my friend so I'll carry a part
Of His perfect love in my heart.

The Mistake You Cannot Forget

The Mistake You Cannot Forget

You say you cannot forget
And you aren't ready to forgive
But I need your friendship
More than you'll even know
I need you there to live

Without you by my side today
Life's been going, oh so slow
I miss your calls
Our endless talks
The places we would go

You can't even bear to look at me,
And I know my mistake
For because of one night,
And a few thoughtless actions,
When you saw me you ran and hid

I know we cannot take it back
As much as we would like to
But we could forget
And start all over
Just friends, that's me and you

If time is what you need,
Then I guess that's what you'll get
But I need you there for me soon,
My friend,
I hope you will forget.

the wait

the wait


Her heart no longer mourns
For the life she had before
She was just an observer
Watching from a distant shore

Years have been unkind to her
Leaving a shell in her place
Love snatched away too soon
Haunting sadness on her face

Quietly sobs when she's alone
Thinking no one else can hear
Family feels her pain daily
Yet they can't erase her fears

Longing to see her smile again
Hoping for better days ahead
In their hearts they know
Peace will come when she is dead

Her spirit died years ago
When he was taken away
Knowing she belongs by his side
As they listen to her pray

She tells them all is Okay
They know that she pretends
She is trying to protect them
As she waits for life to end

Ode To My True Friend

Ode To My True Friend

The day I met you
I found a friend -
And a friendship that
I pray will never end.

Your smile - so sweet
And so bright -
Kept me going
When day was as dark as night.

You never ever judged me,
You understood my sorrow.
Then you told me it needn't be that way
And gave me the hope of a better tomorrow.

You were always there for me,
I knew I could count on you.
You gave me advice and encouragement
Whenever I didn't know what to do.

You helped me learn to love myself
You made life seem so good.
You said I can do anything I put my mind to
And suddenly I knew I could.

There were times when we didn't see eye to eye
And there were days when both of us cried.
But even so we made it through:
Our friendship hasn't yet died.

Circumstances have pulled us apart,
We are separated by many miles.
Truly, the only thing that keeps me going
Is my treasured memory of your smile.

This friendship we share
Is so precious to me,
I hope it grows and flourishes
And lasts unto infinity.

You are so extra-special to me
And so this to you I really must tell:
You are my one true friend,
My Guardian Angel.

Our friendship is one-in-a-million
So let's hold on to it and each other.
We cannot let this chance of pure bliss fly away
For there will never be another.

You are so much like my mother,
My feelings for you are like no other.
You are a person I will treasure,
Always and Forever.

Poems you taught me to write,
You are the one who showed me the light.
I don't know what I would do,
If in my life, I didn't have you.

To me, you have been so influential,
Keeping things I tell you confidential.
You always seem to touch my soul,
Without you, I wouldn't feel whole.

Sore Heart

Sore Heart

Because of you my heart is sore
The love you had, you have no more
You said you love me, but you don't
You said you'd change, but you won't
Why do I love someone like this?
Why is it you that I miss?
I don't want to love you anymore
Because of you my heart is sore.

Not What You Need

Not What You Need

Is it easy to forgive
The one who hurt you most
Could you be his friend
Could you really be close

He wanted you to be perfect
Here and there
And you changed yourself
Cloths, face, and hair

Trust is something you really need
Something that won?t and can't be seen

So if this guy is like what I?ve said
Then you go your way and let him go his

I'm going to say it again, he?s not what you need
So you sit back and let him watch you succeed

Once

Once

I thought I fell in love once, but how I quickly came to see.
True Love is overrated, not meant for one like me.
I left myself open, entrenched and blinded by love's design.
Engulfed by its passion, utterly lost in space in time.
Knowing the end was inevitable, still I made this dubious choice.
And felt a pain immeasurable, when I listened to my heart's voice.
What is love but a feeling, a word often used in jest.
An ephemeral emotion, not worth the time to develop and invest.
A captivating story, ending only where it starts.
An all-too predictable cycle, this game of broken hearts.
Though yielding temporary happiness, it ends in bitter grief.
The absence of all hope and faith, of comfort and relief.

To Spend Forever I give you my heart

To Spend Forever
I give you my heart
Mind, body and soul,
I give you my love
For you make me whole.
I give you this promise
The promise to try,
I give you each breath
And the tears I cry.
I give you my past
My future and now,
I give you my thoughts
My hope and this vow.
To give you my voice,
And the music I sing,
I give you forever,
I give you this ring.
I give you my world,
All the pain and strife,
I give you my hand
Learn to share my life.
I give you this kiss
And these words I say,
"I'll cherish you always As of this day."
I give you my faith
That these words are true,
For today, I swear,
To spend my life with you

Sisters

Sisters
God made us sisters,
Our hearts made us friends.
Love keeps us bonded
Thru thick and thru thin.
Being family Gives permanent ties,
For which I am grateful
To be in your life.
Though our paths may lead
Down separate roads,
God gave us each other
To help with the load.
God had a great plan,
As He always does.
Growing together
Was the best for us.
I can't imagine
My life without you.
Sisters are for keeps
And forever true.

It dies like that

It dies like that

It's night or day?
That's moon or sun?
Well, anyway,
I have to run.
I see the tears.
Don't cry, my eyes.
I feel my fears,
I feel them rise.
I have to go,
I know it now.
Let's end this show,
Just tell me, how?..
Relax, forget,
Love's just a bird,
She dies like that,
Without a word.

God's Grandeur

God's Grandeur

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs?
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

O my Luve's like a red, red rose

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

Friends Don't Always Last

Friends Don't Always Last

I try to be nice, but you just laugh.
I'm not fitting in anymore, what can I do?
You don't realize, but it's starting to hurt.
When everything's just right, it always turns to dirt.

Help me, what am I doing wrong?
I don't understand, I'm there when your not strong.
I try to be happy most of the time, but it's getting harder now,
knowing your friendship isn't mine.

I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me

I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be;

I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;

I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;

I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon.

I'm wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you've strewn along my way;

And could I have one wish this year,
this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.

astray

astray

precious memories gone astray,
no more thoughts of yesterday
secret treasures of the past
no more tears we didn?t last
truth be told we once were true
my happiness is gone and so are you
no more chances they are all lost
smiles have failed we paid the cost
precious memories gone astray,
no more thoughts of yesterday

Friends for Life

Friends for Life

Friends for life is what we are
Through thick and thin you were my friend
Leaning on you, you gave me support
The strength to get up and go again

If my heart was shattered, you'd heal it
If my heart was happy, we both rejoiced in it

You are my best friend
always and forever
It's been good
the best friendship ever
Never end, now and forever

I ne'er was struck before that hour

I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet,
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale.
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked, what could I ail?
My life and all seemed turned to clay.

And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my eyesight quite away,
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight at noonday.
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start --
They spoke as chords do from the string,
And blood burnt round my heart.

Are flowers the winter's choice?
Is love's bed always snow?
She seemed to hear my silent voice,
Not love's appeals to know.
I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before.
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more

Jamie

"Jamie"

I never knew God could make someone like you
When you came into my life, my happiness grew
With your smile and beautiful eyes
There never was a sparkle in disguise
You were so spiritual anytime or place
Because you knew God was taking care of your case
Jamie you were an angel in disguise
I knew it every time I looked in your eyes
Jamie I miss you so much, but would never wish you back home
Because in heaven with God is where you belong

I Thought You were My Angel

I Thought You were My Angel

I thought you were my Angel
But Angels only fly
They don?t yell and walk away
I thought you were my Angel
Until that rainy day
When you told me it was over
There was nothing left to say
I thought you were my Angel
I gave you all my heart
How was I supposed to know
You would leave me torn apart
I thought you were my Angel
But Angels never lie
They don?t walk away
Leaving you asking "why"?

If I knew it would be the last time

If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and a kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day by day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare a minute or two,
To stop and say, "I love you." instead of assuming you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight.
And we always get a second chance to make everything right.

There will always be another day, to say our "I love you's."
And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"

But just in case I might be wrong and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike.
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you are waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you will surely regret the day.

That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss.
And you were too busy to grant someone what turned out to be their one last wish.

So, hold your loved one close today; whisper in their ear.
Tell them how much you love them and that you will always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you," or "it's ok."
And if tomorrow never comes, you will have no regrets about today.

The best of friends

The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,
when you feel down.
The best of friends,
Will understand,
Your little trials,
And lend a hand.
The best of friends,
Will always share,
Your secret dreams,
Because they care.
The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.

From the moment I met you

From the moment I met you,
I knew it was true,
Because I couldn’t stop smiling,
Nor thinking of you.

I couldn't believe it,
Something so wrong I knew,
Because I wouldn't stop smiling,
Nor thinking of you.

Now that I know your feelings,
That you feel the same way too,
Now I can’t stop smiling,
Nor thinking of you.

This feeling’s so wonderful,
Like a dream come true,
I refuse to stop smiling,
Nor thinking of you.

I Don't Understand

I Don't Understand
Why do you only come around when there's someone new,
Knowing that I'm having a difficult time getting over you?
Why lead me on, knowing how much I care?
The way you play with my mind is oh so unfair.
As sad as it is to say, I wish we never met
Because the truth is my friend I haven't gotten over you yet.

Waves of pain and anguish

Waves of pain and anguish,
washing across the sand.
Like shards of broken glass,
having already cut the hand.
Love traded for compassion.
Such a fine line between...
Only good intentions meant.
Heart blinded, sight left unseen.
Until there is realization,
the hand that bleeds is yours..
Heart goes on breaking as
the shards cut more and more.
