PIECES OF ME

PIECES OF ME

THE PIECES OF ME ARE MANY
SOME PIECES NO LONGER HAVE THAT PERFECT FIT
OTHERS MOLD TOGETHER BLENDING INTO EACH OTHER
SOME I JUST CAN NOT FIND
OTHERS WILL ALWAYS FIT INTO PLACE.
THESE PIECES OF ME
SHOW WHO I AM
WHAT I’VE DONE
WHO I WILL BE
TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER
YOU WILL SEE EACH LITTLE PIECE AND PART OF ME
SOME LAY SHATTERED ON THE GROUND
SOME REFLECT THE BEAUTY WITHIN MY HEART
OTHERS SHOW THE PAIN I HIDE INSIDE.

ALL PIECES OF ME FIT IN SOME ODD MANNER
CREATING THE PICTURE OF MY LIFE

LOST

LOST

AS I TRAVEL DOWN THIS ROAD
I CARRY SUCH A HEAVY LOAD
SOME DAYS I FEEL SO VERY LOST
IS THIS THE PATH I’VE ALREADY CROSSED?
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I AM GOING
MY IGNORANCE MUST REALLY BE SHOWING
THERE IS SUCH UNREST IN MY HEART
SOMETIMES I FIND MYSELF RIGHT BACK AT THE START
I AM ALWAYS GROPING IN THE DARK
IF ONLY I COULD FIND THE MARK
AM I DOOMED, ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND MY WAY
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST STOP AND PRAY
FOR THE LORD TO GIVE ME STRENGTH
TO TRAVEL THIS ROAD, NO MATTER THE LENGTH
HE HAS A REWARD WAITING OF ME
IF JUST THE RIGHT PATH I COULD SEE
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW THE LIGHT OF GOD
AND THE PATH OTHERS HAVE TROD
I SHOULD LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES
CAUSE THE ROAD SOMETIMES IS FULL OF SNAKES
IF TO THE LORD MY HEART WOULD STAY TRUE
ALONG THE WAY HE WOULD GIVE ME A CLUE
ON WHICH WAY THAT I SHOULD GO
CAUSE ON MY OWN I WOULD NOT KNOW
AND THEN AT MY JOURNEYS END
ETERNITY WITH HIM I WILL SPEND.

JUST ME

JUST ME

I DON’T HAVE TO BE
WHAT EVERYONE ELSE
SEEMS TO WANT ME TO BE
BECAUSE I AM NOT LIVING FOR THEM
I AM ME
TODAY I SEE THAT
THE THINGS THAT I LIKE
MAKES ME HAPPY
AND I DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE
I DO WHAT I MUST
I DO WHAT I OUGHT
AND I TRY
TO BE WHO I AM
BE TRUE TO MYSELF
IS ALL THERE IS
THE REST IS
SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE
SUDDENLY I KNOW
WHO I AM
AND WHO I MUST BE
IS JUST ME.

I Feel

I FEEL

LET ME TELL YOU HOW I FEEL
CAUSE MY HAPPINESS IS SO REAL

I FEEL I CAN SING A SONG
I FEEL NOTHING WILL GO WRONG

I FEEL MY FEET WANT TO DANCE
AROUND THE HOUSE I WILL PRANCE

I FEEL MY HEART IS FULL OF LIFE AND LOVE
I FEEL I’LL DO WHATEVER I CAN THINK OF

I FEEL I WANT TO LAUGH AND GIGGLE
IN THE MUD MY TOES I’LL WIGGLE

I FEEL LIKE HOPING IN THE POOL
I FEEL LIKE ACTING LIKE A FOOL

I FEEL I’M GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN
BEFORE THIS DAY IS ALL DONE.

Great Grandma

Great Grandma’s Flower Garden

You planted little seeds beneath the dirt and soil.
Each day in your garden you would toil.
Taking care to give it all it needs,
and being sure to remove all the weeds.
You waited patiently for the seeds to come up through the ground.
In your flower garden you could always be found.
The seeds finally grew, their petals reached for the sunlight.
Oh what a beautiful sight.
Thanks to your tender care,
Flowers were blooming everywhere,

If I Could Fly

IF I COULD FLY

IF I COULD FLY
I WOULD SOAR THROUGH THE SKY

I WOULD FLY AWAY
And go where ever I may

I would vanish without a trace
And visit every wonderful place

I would fly above the highest tree
Oh—how I would feel free

I would fly under a rainbow
Yes, that’s where I would go

I would fly over every mountain peak
I would fly around for over a week

Then I would fly back down to the ground
And think of all the places I had found

I would go back to my life
Being just an ordinary wife

Depressed

Depressed

Today I feel so depressed.
I just need to go to bed and rest.

Some times I just do not feel too good.
I really wish I would.

Things just keep going wrong.
Maybe they will get better before long.

I just sit here and have to sigh,
I really could just cry.

I do not know what makes me feel this way.
I will be glad when it is the end of this day.
