Time is a funny thing A second, a minute, an hour, a day, a year, a lifetime All different, yet can feel the same Your life can alter in a split of a second It can tip on it’s axis to give you a wakeup call Or it can fall right off to never be the same again In only a second You can impact someone’s life by taking a minute of yours “Hi, how are?” “I just wanted to check in.” Only a minute to matter, to make an impression on those around you Spending an hour with someone can mean life A conversation on the phone, a conversation over coffee/lunch Could take a person off an invisible ledge, or give comfort

Your smile was the first smile I saw Your voice the first I heard Your touch the first I felt Though I remember none of those I know I felt at peace For I remember a sweet smile upon your face A strong loving voice and a touch that soothed With you near all fears erased Your smile was always there to light my way Your voice there to encourage and lift me up Your touch to sooth when I fell A strength so strong it was a beacon of where to go Your will is a path to follow And your heart a future to seek We may not always see eye to eye But it is you I see in my head guiding me through life It is you I lean on to help me through It is you th

Life is made up of choices We choose to be brave, to be weak We choose to love, to hate To live with blind faith We choose paths of happiness and joy Or paths of loneness and despair We live with the choices we make The ones that don’t kill us but make us stronger The ones we learn from And the ones we would never wish on anyone else The choice to raise children alone To love them like you were not loved To give them a life you didn’t have To give them the tools to etch a life worth living For them to makes their mistakes and still have the strength and courage to move ahead For them to live, laugh, and love To know happiness c

A prick of glass A prick of a knife A prick of a sword You will bleed and heal to be the same as before A slice of glass A slice of a knife A slice of a sword You bleed, you heal, your skin scares Words said but never taken back They sliced through the skin to bone Words of hate, envy, and jealousy Words of blame and criticism Leave no outer marks but they slice the heart to bleed Sharp edges make you bleed But words forever scar you

We live in a world dictated by power Motivated by feelings And ruled by fear Power to gain Feelings to intimidate And fear to control

In the dead of night Sitting by your side A vigil far too soon in life A vigil that is not right So much to say but nothing feels right You will be missed You will be remembered You will forever be in our hearts And you are and always will be loved What may be simple, is in fact not Those words can ease and heal Though it doesn’t seem real Look inside my heart, see what’s real Be comforted with the knowledge With the facts of what was and what will be May the truth heal and set you free

A bright light A holy light A tunnel to walk though Faces of familiarity Faces of those before Hands out stretched A whisper, “Come home” A whisper, “It’s ok to go” A fork in the road Which way to turn To the faces of before? Or the faces of now? Which way is home?

Fight they say Fight for what you believe in Fight for love Fight for peace Fight for freedom Fight for yourself Fight for life Hold on they say Hold onto your belief Hold onto what you love Hold onto the promise of peace And the promise of freedom Hold onto who you are Hold onto life My beliefs are being tested My loves are in pain My peace is a heartbeat away And freedom close Who I am wants to be free Free from life Free to fly To fly home

The man and the angel stood facing each other, separated by the wall of death The angel is unafraid of what lies beyond the wall The man is full of fear of the unknown For the unknown maybe full of pain, heartache, and loneliness But perhaps the unknown is full of promise, the man thinks At this thought the angel smiles A smile of warmth and love With a smile like that, could the angel’s side of the wall of death be that bad? The unknown may not be worth it The man shakes his head He cannot bear any more pain Physically he is tough; emotionally he would shatter The angel holds out her hand The man still shakes his head, “My hea

My skin is not pierced My bones are not broke There is no visible blood No mark to be seen My body is still the same Surrounded by people but so utterly alone Alone to feel unwanted Alone to feel unloved And alone to feel the hollow emptiness of my former self I look down and see the pieces of my shattered heart

today stands for so much more then weak comparisons with a pale past today dreams of overcoming the limits set upon it yesterday by narrow unbelieving minds today gives hope for the ability to rise far above the norms of historic presuppositions today is where we find ourselves joining hands in unity bravely embracing the very diversities that used to fuel our separation

mere moments ago we laughed and talked time calmly still while we walked then you were gone out of the camera frame this thing called life can never be the same so many minuses carrying on traditions nothing adding up with so few additions memories alone so desperate to survive but fade they will just as those who are alive love alone is left to conquer our worst and best life is but a journey not a test

unrestrained melodies celebrate truth simple harmonies from our youth favorite stories poignant lines laughter and tears best of times friends to share hands to hold shoulders to cry on as we grow old heartstrings in tune living songs familiar words sing along find your place be free embrace the passage you are the key.

I flew into the sun gave my wings this flight traded for the chance to be seen in the light no fear of heights nor depths dark love my spirit soars beyond above

When the world gets you down A fake smile covers a frown You always say you walk alone Your heart is harder than stone You tell everyone you're fine While you start to lose your shine Times are tough, we all know that Getting stepped on like a  mat Don't let go! You have what it takes to go on Don't let go! There is always a new dawn You feel hopeless, you're mind is sick Everything is happening so quick You always have to second check You always see yourself as a wreck Don't let go! You can make it through if all you try Don't let go! Don't fight the tears coming from your eyes Don't let go! You have what it takes to move on Don't let go
