Trying to Remember

Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Kindness, laughter
Sharing of thoughts
Listening, caring, loving -
Wondering what was becoming.
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Our friendship
Bearing a special place
Deep within my heart
Always there -
Never to depart
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Long nights together
Wanting to go on
Seemed to last forever
But too soon were gone.
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
What we shared
The happy times
Longing to be together
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Why it ended
What went wrong
How could something so good
Suddenly be gone?
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember.

Believe

Believing in something
Means having hope
That your dreams will come true

Believing in something
Means never giving up
Even when it seems the world has given up on you

Believing in something
Means sacrificing everything
To have what is most important

Believing in something
Means losing yourself
In order to find happiness

By believing that all things are possible
Through faith, hope and love -
Our trials can be conquered
And our dreams will come true.

Listen & Learn

Have you loved someone so much
That it hurts inside?
Have you wanted something so much
That it makes you cry?
Have you tried to make a difference
To change your life?
Have you given someone else a chance
To prove their worth?
Have you felt that no one cared enough
To lend a hand?
Have you wondered where to turn
For the gift of happiness?
Have you listened to your heart
For the answers?
Just listen to your heart
And you will learn.

Together Forever

When he holds my hand,
My stomach does somersaults
When he kisses me,
My heart skips a beat
His hugs are so comfortable,
I could stay there forever
Just knowing he is by my side,
Is a comfort that I feel anywhere
His favorite CD
Just happens to be mine too
He has this fanatic obsession
For the same thing as me: Cars
He doesn't have a degree
But what does a plaque on the wall
Contribute to love?
The five best words he has said to me are,
Guess what? I love you.
The silly things he does
Make me smile.
We don't have to do anything,
We have fun just being together.

Brown Eyes

Your brown eyes shine in the pale moonlight
Your smile takes away my worries and also my fright
When you look away I just have to stare
I love your features - your eyes, smile, and hair
When you came, I thought it was a dream
How could a guy be so nice?
None around here were like that, it seemed.
Now that you were here I had nothing left to fear
You would always be there for me, far or near
All I have to do is think of you
And the memory will make me have a happy day too
You are a great friend and a great guy
When I think of you, my heart starts to fly
It soars to a far off place
Where your memory takes up its space
I can still see your features -
Your brown eyes, your smile and your hair
I look upon your memory with love and care

The Smell of Rain

Enjoy the small things in life -
A rainbow peaking through the storm
The fresh smell of rain
Homemade chocolate chip cookies
By enjoying the small things -
You can better appreciate the big things -
A double rainbow on a blustery day
A visit from a long lost friend
Wedding cake on your special day
The birth of a child
Enjoy the small things in life
They happen everyday
Appreciate the big things in life
When they come your way.

The Gift of Love

I didn't know what love was
Until I met you
Love is something
You don't just give away
Love is a gift
Love comes so gradually
And suddenly
That you don't know it has hit you
Until it is too late
To share the gift of love
You have to be willing
To carry each others burdens
Nothing matters anymore
Except the happiness
Of the one you love.
