I REMEMBER

i remember my first bike ride
my dad stood and watched filled
with fatherly pride.
i remember my parents being
so much in love
it was if their union
was blessed from above.
i remember days gone by
sometimes i laugh
sometimes i cry.
i remember the holidays
at my grandparents home
family all together
knowing that i was not alone.
money, cars, fortune and fame
are only to be cherised
if you believe the game.
i remember days gone by
sometimes i laugh
sometimes the memories
make me cry.

I LOVED YOU ONCE

i loved you once
and that was enough
my soul was completely yours
i loved you once
but not again
you see god and time
healed my broken heart
-salty tears helped it to somehow mend.
i loved you once
but my life went on
time set me free
i loved you once my dear
but now i am living
for me!

DAYS SUBLIME

if we could go back in time
back to days
life so sublime
bicycles and ice cream cones
our mothers voices
calling us home.
endless hours spent
in the sun
dolls and hopscotch
toy soldiers anyone?
not a care in the world
just little boys
and little girls.
if we could go back in time
when we were happy
with a nickel
or with a dime.
but alas
time marches on
now we are the voices
calling OUR children home.

THESE ARE THE DAYS

these are the days
that we will look back on
with smiles and laughter
these are the days
that will define our tomorrow
and our future
these are the days
that those before us
paved the way for
these are the days
not for inaction
and inertia
but these are the days
to fulfill our dreams
arise and take hold
for these are the days!

WHERE ARE YOU MY BELOVED

where are you my beloved
do you hear my cry
my thoughts, my prayers
are there with you.
do you think of me
my love
as i sit here and
long for the sound of
your voice
as i yearn for the touch
of your embrace.
i need you my beloved
but where are you?

WHAT IF

what if you said i love you
and no one loved you back
what if red was blue and
white was black.
what if the sun became the moon
what if it rained in winter
and snowed in june.
what if lies suddenly
became the truth
what if the bride
was now the groom.
what if young was terribly old
what if all words
now went untold.
what if the earth became
the sky
what if hello
really meant goodbye
...what if

I CAN ONLY

i can only dream
what it would be like
to have your hand in mine.
i can only dream of how our love
would stregthen
with the passage of time.
i can only dream
that you would lie forever by
my side.
i can only dream
that your faith in me
would take root and never die.
i can only dream
of hearing your voice
call softly out my name.
i can only dream
because the reality is
your feelings are just not
the same.

YOU WERE LOVED

it's been a year
since you've been gone
but God somehow gave me the strength
to carry on.
so i try to do
things in your name
but in my heart
it's just not the same.
365 days without you
365 days with a heart
that has not healed.
i can't help but think
that i didn't tell you enough
can't help but think
that i didn't show you enough
but i pray that you knew
THAT YOU WERE LOVED!

IN A WORLD

in a world of 'twitters' and 'tweets'
where people rush by without
taking the time to speak.
in a world of facebook and myspace
a person could get lost
or at least lose their place.
a place where everyone
is trying to stake a claim
a place where some will do anything
for 15 minutes of fame.
in a world of constant change
there is one thing that
truly remains
in a world of 'twitters' and 'tweets'
speak words of love to all
that you meet.

THIS PLACE

how did we get 2 this place
where truth goes
unspoken
where tears
fall seamlessly down
my face.
how did we get 2 this place
where silence embraces
and slowly suffocates the air
between us.
how did we get 2 this place
where love has died?

FOOLED

i was fooled by you
used by you
there was nothing
that i would not
do for you.
abused, lied to
still i tried to
do all that i could do
to remain friends.
time passed
our story changed...
you see
i was used by you
confused by you
abused by you
but i am no longer
fooled by you!

WITH STRINGS ATTACHED

you say u love me
but love should not hurt
you say u love me
but there are strings attached.
do this you say
no don't do that
and i react
like a puppet under your spell
and do your bidding
you say u love me
but there is no trust between us
you say u love me
but love should not hurt
you say u love me
then release me from this prison
...you see
your love has too many strings attached.

IF

if you never give up hope
or lose faith
if you treasure warm memories
in a sacred and special place
if you never ever doubt
the power of romance
if you are willing to step forth
to take a chance
if you never put your dreams
on a shelf
if you have been blessed to find
someone of like heart and of like mind
then know that you have found
love!

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

there is a right or a wrong
for everything
but just know that
the truth is written
somewhere in between.
you are the one
that holds the key
so let no one define you
let no one keep you
from your destiny.
-spread your wings
and fly oh so high
spread your wings
and soar to the sky!

if we looked deep inside
i wonder what
we would
truly find.
is the truth
so hard to share
is it really that hard
for us
to stop and care.
if we looked deep inside
would rationality
overcome our pride
would we find love
dwelling there
if we took the time
to really care?

WHEN

when will we realize
that our journey
is not a singular one
we are not alone
in this time and
in this place.
know that what
we do affects others
like ripples in a stream
set forth by pebbles
we are not alone
in our journey
not in this time
not in this place
arise and take heart
because you are not alone!

UNITED

i think about
you, we, us
how good it
could be
loving you
loving me
soaring, diving
gliding into
the night.
we be one
United.

DO YOU

do you ever question why
blue is the color of
the sky
or why night only comes
after day
and why it's not
the other way.
do you ever question why
life is not always fair
and no matter how hard
you pray
some people
just don't seem to care.
do you ever wonder why??

FEAR NOT

fear not my love
for i am with you
and think of you
always.
i am the breeze
that gently touches
your skin
i am that smile
you hold deep within.
fear not my love
for i will never
leave you
i am beside you
every step of the way.

...fear not my love

WORDS TO MY SONG

do you like the words
that i rhyme
then i do thank you
for taking the time
to see what it is
that i said
to try to get inside
my head.
do you like the words
to my song
then join me and
come along
on this journey
that we will share
and show thru like minds
that yes, we do care.
