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.

Bumble Bee

BUMBLE BEE

BUZZING, BUZZING, ALL AROUND,
NEVER TAKING A REST UPON THE GROUND.


YOU ARE DRESSED IN BLACK AND YELLOW.
MY WHAT A STRANGE LOOKING LITTLE FELLOW!


YOU BUZZ FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER
ALL IT’S SWEETNESS YOU DO DEVOUR.

WHEN YOU HAVE GATHERED ALL YOU CAN
YOU BUZZ RIGHT BACK TO WHERE YOU BEGAN.

BUZZING, BUZZING, AROUND WITHOUT A DELAY,
YOU DO THIS EACH AND EVERY DAY.

Broken Ties

BROKEN TIES


THERE IS AN EMPTINESS INSIDE
WHERE YOU USED TO RESIDE
SOFTENING MY FRUSTRATED CRIES
WIPING TEARS FROM MY EYES
BUT NOW I SEE YOU TOLD ME MANY LIES
LISTENING TO YOU WAS NOT WISE
EACH DAY THE LOVE WE SHARED DIES
BROKEN ARE THE TIES.

Things At Night

THINGS AT NIGHT

AT NIGHT, WHEN I WAS A CHILD
MY IMAGINATION WOULD RUN WILD.
I WAS AFRAID TO SLEEP WITHOUT A LIGHT
I LIKED MY LIGHT, SHINING SO BRIGHT.
IN THE DARK, THERE WERE TOO MANY CREEPY THINGS.
TO MY COVERS I WOULD TIGHTLY CLING.
THERE WAS A THING THAT LIVED UNDER MY BED,
ON ME, IT WANTED TO BE FED.
THERE WAS A THING THAT LIVED BEHIND MY DOOR.
NOT TO FOGET THAT HORRIBLE THING THAT Hides IN MY DRAWER.
THINGS SEEMED TO LIVE IN EVERY LITTLE PLACE,
ALWAYS ME THEY WANTED TO CHASE.
THESE THINGS ONLY WOULD COME OUT
WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, WITHOUT A DOUBT
THAT’S WHY I SLEEPT WITH MY LIGHT
SHINING SO BRIGHT

An Angel

AN ANGEL

AN ANGEL SHOWED ME TRUTH AND LIGHT
SHOWED HOW TO DO THINGS RIGHT

AN ANGEL PROTECTED ME WHEN NOTHING ELSE COULD
SHOWED ME HOW TO DO THINGS GOOD.

AN ANGEL TOOK MY HAND- WAS MY FRIEND
RIGHT DOWN TO MY LIFE’S END.

AN ANGEL CAME TO TAKE ME AWAY
ON THIS EARTH I COULD NO LONGER STAY

AN ANGEL TOOK ME TO A HEAVENLY HOME
FOREVER THERE I WILL ROAM.

A Place

A PLACE

There is a place that I go
A place somewhere in my mind
A place that once i had gone
A place that I once had known
A place that I had been
A place that you do not know
A place in mine eye
A place I can always find
A place that will always be, within me.

Mama Bird

A Mama Bird

In the spring, when everything is new
And the sky is beautiful and blue
A bird busies herself to build a nest
She lays her eggs and keeps them warm under her breast
She sits faithfully waiting for her eggs to hatch.
Then she goes looking for worms and bugs to catch.
Feeding her young hatchlings is her main concern
Until their feather wings they earn.
She then teaches them to fly
Soaring through the sky
They fly off into the sun
Her work is finally done.

My Little Child

MY LITTLE CHILD

LOOKING AT YOU NOW, MY LITTLE CHILD
SOME DAYS YOUR ACTIONS WERE VERY WILD
OTHER DAYS--YOU COULD BE SO SWEET.
I CAN REMEMBER THE PITTER PATTER OF YOUR LITTLE FEET,
THAT MEMORY ALWAYS BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE.
IN MY HEART--YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE.
ONE DAY, FROM ME, YOU WILL HAVE TO PART,
AND, I KNOW, THIS WILL SURELY BREAK MY HEART.
WHEN IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO,
PLEASE LET IT BE SLOW.
UNTIL THEN, I WILL SHOWER YOU WITH ALL MY MOTHERLY LOVE
KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN A BLESSING FROM ABOVE.
ANYONE CAN SEE
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE
MY LITTLE CHILD.

I Wanted My Daddy To Be Here

I Wanted My Daddy To Be Here

Daddy you weren’t there through my growing up years

Many a night I cried lonely tears.

I wanted my daddy to be here.

I had a step father but it wasn’t the same

He was a father only in name.

I wanted my daddy to be here.

I was so young when you had to go

But I still loved you so

I wanted my daddy to be here.

Many a time I would think of you

Hoping you was thinking of me too.

I wanted my daddy to be here.

I held the memory of you close to my heart

Even though my world without you was falling apart

I wanted my daddy to be here.

I was always searching and looking for your face

But it seems you vanished without a trace

I wanted my daddy to be here.

I often wondered if it was me that made you go

But daddy I still loved you so

I wanted my daddy to be here.

The pain of missing my daddy was always there

A life without a daddy is never fair.

I wanted my daddy to be here.

Through the years I grew

I tried finding you but there was nothing I could do.

I wanted my daddy to be here.

You weren’t there to walk me down the aisle

What I would give to sit with you for awhile.

I wanted my daddy to be here.

Babies of my own I had

But my heart was still really sad.

I wanted my daddy to be here.

I still held your memory in my heart

I wanted to find you and have a fresh start

I wanted my daddy to be here.

I want you to see my children grow

Because they will love you too I know

I wanted my daddy to be here.

Now that I finally found you

And you say that you missed me too

Even though you have been gone for so many years

And after all the heartaches and tears

I can still say I wish my daddy was here.

My Hubby

TO MY HUSBAND

AT THE BEGINNING WE WERE JUST FRIENDS,
BUT GREW TO LOVE EACH OTHER TO NO END.

WE NOW SHARE ONE SOUL, ONE HEART,
WE WERE A PERFECT MATCH, RIGHT FROM THE START.

FOR HOURS WE WOULD LAUGH, TALK, AND PLAY.
EVEN TO THIS DAY, I WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.

WE HAD TO SPEND OUR FIRST YEARS APART,
BUT YOU ALWAYS HAD MY HEART.

I COULDN’T IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU
AND I KNOW YOU FEEL THIS WAY TOO.

YOU ARE MY ONE AND ONLY TRUE LOVE.
I AM VERY HAPPY THAT MY LIFE YOU ARE PART OF.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME?
YOU HAVE SHOWN ME WHAT A WONDERFUL HUSBAND YOU CAN BE.

I HOPE AS WE GROW OLD THROUGH THE YEARS,
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOU NEAR.

THERE IS NO ONE ELSE, THAT I WOULD RATHER SHARE MY LIFE.
I AM SO BLESSED TO BE YOUR WIFE.

Sisters

FOR MY SIS


EVEN THOUGH WE DO NOT ALWAYS GET ALONG
WE ARE FAMILY, TO IT WE BELONG.

YOU ARE MY SISTER; A BETTER ONE COULD NOT BE SOUGHT
WHILE GROWING UP WE ALWAYS FUSSED AND FOUGHT.

YOU SEE I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE YOU
I WANTED TO DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU COULD DO.

WE NOW HAVE FAMILIES OF OUR OWN
AND THROUGH THE YEARS WE HAVE GROWN.

THERE IS ONE THING THAT HAS REMAINED TRUE
WE WOULD ALWAYS BE FRIENDS, I KNEW.

THROUGH OUT THE MANY YEARS
THERE HAS BEEN LAUGHTER, JOY, AND TEARS.

I’M REALLY GLAD YOU ARE MY SIS
SO I’LL END THIS NOW WITH A KISS.

My Mom

FOR YOU MY MOM

I woke up this morning thinking of my mother,
All through my life there’s been no other,
As precious, sweet and dear to me,
she will always be a big part of me.

Whether you call her Mom, Mother or some other name,
To a child, it always means the same,
She's comfort and love of the purest kind,
She's the greatest gift, a better one you can not find.

When I think back to when I was a child,
Maybe at times I could not smile,
But she was always there to see,
and she took good care of me.

She loved me with all her heart,
Her love from me will never depart.

I don't think she will ever fully understand
how she has touched my life and
made me just who I am.

Free To See

FREE TO SEE

FOR THE LONGEST TIME
I CHASED A LONG LOST MEMORY
I WAS IN LOVE WITH A THOUGHT.
NOW I SEE I HAVE WASTED TIME AND ENERGY.
I DIDN’T THINK I WOULD EVER STOP HURTING
THE PAIN WOULD IT EVER GO AWAY
MY THOUGHTS WERE ALL JUMBLED
MY EMOTIONS ALL CRAZY
MY HEART TORN TO PIECES
FOR THE LONGEST TIME
I WAS LOST WITHIN MYSELF
TRAPPED IN MY MEMORIES
YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE
I FINALLY FEEL WHOLE AGAIN
MY MIND CLEAR
NOW I’M FINALLY FREE
FREE TO SEE THE LOVE
THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO GIVE TO ME.

Grandma

GRANDMA

IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
WHEN I HEARD YOU SAY,
IT WAS TIME FOR YOU TO GO
AND THAT YOU LOVED ME SO.
I SAT DOWN BY YOUR SIDE,
HELD YOUR HAND AND CRIED.
YOU LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND SAID
TEARS FOR ME DO NOT SHED.
HONEY DON’T YOU CRY,
WE ALL HAVE TO DIE.
WHEN YOU NEED ME I’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE
ON ME YOU CAN RELY.
JUST LOOK DEEP DOWN INSIDE
AND PUT YOUR TEARS ASIDE
AND THAT’S WHEN YOU’LL SEE
YOU’LL ALWAYS HAVE ME.
I WILL BE IN YOUR HEART.
NOW IT’S TIME FROM THIS WORLD FOR ME TO PART.
YOU LOOKED TOWARDS THE SKIES
THEN YOU CLOSED YOUR EYES.
YOU ESCAPED AWAY TO THE PROMISED LAND
I HELD TIGHT TO YOUR SWEET HAND.
AS THE TEARS BEGAN TO FALL LIKE THE RAIN,
I TRIED TO HIDE MY PAIN.
I BOWED MY HEAD AND TALKED TO THE LORD.
MY HEART I OUT POURED.
WHY DID GRANDMA HAVE TO GO SO SOON
SHE WAS MY EARTH, STARS AND MOON.
I WISH I COULD SEE HER SMILE
AND TALK TO HER AGAIN FOR AWHILE.
THEN A SOFT WHISPER CAME TO ME
AND SAID; I’M FINALLY FREE.
HONEY DON’T YOU CRY,
WE ALL HAVE TO DIE.
WHEN YOU NEED ME I’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE
ON ME YOU CAN RELY.
JUST LOOK DEEP DOWN INSIDE
AND PUT YOUR TEARS ASIDE.
AND THAT’S WHEN YOU’LL SEE
YOU’LL ALWAYS HAVE ME.
I WILL BE IN YOUR HEART
FROM YOU I WILL NEVER PART.

Jambo

JAMBO AND HIS BRUN BRUN

Jambo is my little brother
He is like no other.
He rode around on his three-wheeler that he had to peddle
He thought he was putting the peddle to the metal.
He called this three wheeler a brun brun.
He got the name from the way a motorcycle sounds when it would run.
When he got the chance to go outside
On his brun brun he would ride and ride.
He would peddle and ride as fast as he could
My brother would ride and ride, yes he would.
Always beside him was his faithful dog Rusty.
They would come home all tired and dusty.
Up and down the path they would go.
Oh he loved his brun brun so.
He always wore a helmet of red
He wore it crooked upon his head.
My little brother loved his brun brun you see
Cause on it he was anything he wanted to be.

Genealogy

Genealogy

I love to do genealogy
And climb my family tree
I climb high to every branch
And every little limb
My tree has really grown
Since it started long ago
The many branches grow
In every shape and size
Shaped by the lives they lived
And people that they knew
Some stand out so proudly
With the honor they bestow
When someone is born or marries
My family tree grows a little more
When the wind of time blows
I get a glimpse of what once had been
I am who I am today
Because of my family tree
Together as a family we will stand
Until eternity

Only In My Dreams

Only In My Dreams

I sit quietly upon the shore
The cool breeze blowing through my hair
I look out over the ocean waves
I close my eyes
Floating off to peaceful sleep
In my dreams you come to me
You take my hand and walk with me
Along the beach and in the sand
You whisper sweet nothings in my ear
We dance and dance the night away
The moon light sets the ocean aglow
In each others arms we belong
I caress your strong masculine face
and gaze into your beautiful deep blue eyes
I can see the ocean swirling round and round
As you slowly drift from my arms away from me
I call out your name
I search and search but you I can not find
I fall to my knees and look out over the ocean waves
The tears of loneliness stream down my face
The cool breeze blowing through my hair
Hoping one day you will come back to me
If only in my dreams

Passions Fire

PASSIONS FIRE


Lips softly touch, In a tender kiss
Oh what heavenly bliss

You run your fingers through my hair
I love you for all we share

You move your body close to mine
Our hearts and souls entwine

Your loving me is gentle as a summer breeze
Flowing through the trees

You take me to the lands of paradise
When you look into my eyes

Your gentle touch, your sweet embrace
Oh… your handsome face.

You are my hearts desire
You set my passion on fire.

Life Is A Journey

Life is a Journey

Life is a journey
It is not known how far the travel.
One-step at a time,
day by day.
Good times live under our fingertips.
Each struggle in life
continues the fight.
Live for another day.
Days, months, and years add up,
giving you eyes.
Clouds gather,
then fade away.
Sun rises,
A new day appears.
Consider life’s
many gifts it bears.
Let loose,
Have a glimpse,
life is filled with sweetness.
Things change
then again, stays the same.
Time is what is needed,
to heal the wounds and gain strength
as darkness closes in.
Unable to change what is happening.
Dealing with what has been.
Clutching what is left of life.
Peace, found from within.
Accept everlasting love
Let go, time to move on.

Nothing Else To Do

NOTHING ELSE TO DO

Quietly I sit here, nothing else to do,
Underneath the sky so blue,
The suns golden rays of warmth upon my face.
Worries and fears vanish without a trace.
Everywhere, behold the beauty of the earth.
I take it in for all its worth.
Butterflies dance all around me,
And I can hear the buzzing of a bee.
The gently rocking of the treetops to and fro,
As the wind blows nice and slow.
The birds sing melodies high up in the tree.
Closing my eyes, my mind is set free.
Quietly I sit here, nothing else to do

NOW IT’S TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE
A TEAR FALLS FROM MY EYE

I Need Sleep

I NEED SLEEP

I really must confess
I need some restful rest!
Look at these bags under my eyes
I need sleep my mind cries
But I can not for the life of me seem to SLEEP!
I'm so tired I can weep!
Some say try some warm milk that will do the trick
But that just makes me feel more sick!
I believe if I don't get some sleep soon
I'll be crazy as a loon.

RAIN

THE RAIN APPEARS
FALLING LIKE GIANT TEARS

BECAUSE OF THE STORM
IT WATERS THE EARTH
TO GIVE IT REBIRTH.

LIFE OF MANY COLORS

LIFE OF MANY COLORS

OUR LIVES ARE FULL OF MANY COLORS.

WHITE IS FOR PURITY AND INNOCENCE WHEN YOU WERE BORN
FROM YOUR MOTHERS WOMB YOU WERE TORN

PINK IS FOR THE WONDERFUL FEELING YOU FEEL
WHEN LOVE IS NEW AND IS SO REAL

RED IS FOR THE ANGER THAT BURNS UNDER YOUR SKIN
AND MAKES YOUR HEAD SPIN

YELLOW IS FOR ALL THE HAPPY DAYS
THE SUNSHINE AND ALL ITS RAYS.

GREEN IS FOR WHEN YOU WANT WHAT ANOTHER HAS
EVEN THOUGH WHAT YOU HAVE IS JUST AS GOOD AS

BLACK IS FOR WHEN IN YOUR LIFE IT RAINS
CAUSING YOU SADNESS AND GREAT PAINS

GOLD IS FOR WHEN WE TRAVEL TO OUR HEAVENLY HOME
NEVER AGAIN UPON THIS EARTH TO ROAM.

To Fly A Kite

TO FLY A KITE

YOU TAKE THE KITE IN YOUR HAND
AND RUN ACROSS THE LAND
SO UP IN THE SKY THE KITE WILL GO
THROUGH THE WIND IT WILL BLOW
SLOWLY YOU RELEASE SOME STRING
TIGHTLY TO IT YOU MUST CLING
UP, UP IN THE SKY THE KITE WILL GO
WHERE IT GOES, NOBODY CAN KNOW
SWAYING BACK AND FORTH IN THE SKY
WAY UP, ABOVE YOUR HEAD SO HIGH
IT’S WONDERFUL TO FLY A KITE
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT RIGHT.
