When Opportunity Knocks

When opportunity knocks don’t hesitate
Open the door and celebrate
It may be what you are looking for
How would you know, if you don’t open the door

When opportunity knocks let it in
It may bring you a bashful grin
But if only on one side of the door you abide
How would you know what is on the other side

When opportunity knocks, go in a hurry
Leave your doubt, fear and worry
Be sure and let opportunity in
Because opportunity may never knock again

Standing Alone

I stand alone but I stand tall
Not worried about the situation and not afraid to fall
I face my fears and triumph over them all
For the mere fact that I am not afraid to fall

In the heat of the battle I put on a strong face
The toils from each situation I freely embrace
Knowing that in time I would conquer this race
For the mere fact that each situation I freely embrace

When the battle is over and I am a success
I’m no longer in the situation I have passed the test
I am sure that I have done my very best
Because I am no longer in the situation, I have passed the test

Lonely Island Paradise

I see the waves as they roll on the shore

With palm trees whistling the songs I adore

Sand like feather under my feet

And the grapes on the wines oh so sweet


The shore goes on for about a mile

Everything is beautiful and undefiled

All the flowers smell so nice

In this little paradise


There is nothing like living in paradise (the Bahamas)

The Quality Within Me

The quality that is within me
To see it I had to find the key
Open it up and take a look
It was like a mystery book

So I opened the book and began to read
I was amazed by a single seed 
That was planted in me one day
But it wasn't watered so it withered away

Then I read on and began to see
Other qualities within me
Qualities that are possibilities
As long as I never lost the key

Make a Wish

Make a wish then blow out the candle
Something that you mind can't handle
Something that you wish to achieve
Keep the faith and just believe

Know Your Worth

KNOW YOU WORTH
ALTHOUGH IT MAY HURT
ENDURE THE PAIN
RAISE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM

THE PAIN WON’T LAST
ONCE YOU HOLD FAST
AND STAND YOUR GROUND
LET NO ONE BRING YOU DOWN

IN THE BEGINNING
IT FEELS NEVER ENDING
JUST ENDURE TO THE END 
AND YOU WILL WIN

PLEASE KNOW YOUR WORTH
NEVER AGAIN BE HURT
CONTINUE STANDING YOUR GROUND
THINGS WILL TURN AROUND

THE TEARS OF TODAY
WILL SOON FADE AWAY
AND YOUR TOMORROW 
WILL BE FREE FROM SORROW

SO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
THAT NO ONE CAN ERASE
AND EACH DAY REMEMBER TO SAY
IT WON’ ALWAYS BE THIS WAY

Endless Love

I remember that special night
when you hugged and held me tight
The things you whispered in my ear
brought me joy beyond compare

You were the reason why I smiled
seeing your face was always worth while 
but now that I lost you I feel depress
because I know I have lost the best

When I see your smiling face 
I think of all your warm embrace
I think of the thing we use to do
and I want you to know I will always love you

Set Me Free

Free as a bird is how I want to be
Flying through the air, so carefree
Going higher and higher jut to meet my goal
And in every situation, I have full control

So open my cage and let me soar
To the heights and depths I must explore
Aiming higher and higher with the flap of my wings
Knowing I can accomplish anything

So come on now and set me free
To enhance the gifts that is within me
Gifts that would be a possibility
As soon as you set me free

Winter Snow

Anxiously I ran in the yard
This is the best feeling I have ever had
While up and down the road I go
Hopping and dancing and playing in the snow

O it feels nice and soft in my hands
I think I would make me a huge snowman
I’d give him a mouth so he can sing
Two eyes so he can see everything

A nose to smell, two ears to hear
As the Christmas music jingle everywhere
Then I would cherish him each and every day
Because after winter, then comes spring and he will melt away



(this is my goal one day, never saw snow)

Prepare the Dream

It is time I prepare my dream of a child
Stop and think a little while
And don’t let anyone discourage me
From becoming what I want to be

My dreams are achieve if I keep my mind set
And others opinion I quickly forget
Believe in myself though others may doubt
Having confidence though others may pout

My dreams will finally come to past
Because I had confidence in myself at last
A positive word and a direct aim
Is all it took to prepare my dream?
