The Value of Life

The Value of Life 
Life cannot be measured using a dollar sign… 
There are no lengths of time 
That increase the value of a life  
Life is a gift 
A gift that is immeasurable 
For even the brightest of minds… 
A reflection of the minutes that we 
Share with others…… 
The impact that we make when 
We encounter others for even a brief second.  
Life is reamarkable........ 
The air we breath 
is the very establishment of life...

Rocking Alone In Her Rocking Chair

I SAW AN OLD MOTHER WITH SILVERY HAIR
SHE SEEMED SO NEGLECTED BY THOSE WHO SHOULD CARE,
HER HANDS WERE ALL CALLOUSED AND WRINKLED AND OLD
A LIFE OF HARD WORK, WERE THE STORY THEY TOLD,
AND I THOUGHT OF AN ANGEL, AS I SAW HER SIT THERE
ROCKING ALONE IN HER OLD ROCKING CHAIR

BLESS HER OLD HEART-DO YOU THINK SHE'D COMPLAIN
THAT HER LIFE HAD BEEN BITTER,SHE WOULD LIVE IT AGAIN
AND  CARRY THE CROSS THAT'S MORE THAN HER SHARE
ROCKING ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR
IT WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH TO GLADDEN HER HEART
JUST SOME REMEMBRANCE ON SOMEBODY'S PART
A LITTLE WOULD BRIGHTEN HER EMPTY LIFE THERE
JUST ROCKING ALONE IN HER OLD ROCKING CHAIR

I KNOW SOME YOUNGSTER IN AN ORPHAN'S HOME
WOULD THANK THEIR OWN HEAVEN IF SHE WERE THEIR OWN
THEY NEVER WOULD BE WILLING TO LET HER SIT THERE
JUST ROCKING ALONE IN HER OLD ROCKING CHAIR

I LOOKED AT HER- AND I THOUGHT - "  WHAT A SHAME"
THE LOVED ONES THAT FORGOT HER, SHE LOVES JUST THE SAME
AND I THINK OF AN ANGEL AS I SEE HER SIT THERE
ROCKING ALONE IN HER OLD ROCKING CHAIR

Always Believe

Sun shines after the rain
If you never hurt you’ll never gain
Do my best ‘til I’m out of breath
I know there is life after death

I believe there’s second chance
Like a story that full of romance
Standing up in the life that full of mess
I’ll be on the top, no one can guess

Dreams come true	
Destiny lies with in you
Anything comes to those who wait
I know it’ll come true and that’s great

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Nothing will happen if you’ll only sit and wonder
Every experience teaches a lesson
Do everything you can in every season

Today maybe an awful day
I know tomorrow will be okay
Sometimes there’s no explanation 
You just have to show your affection

Everything is impossible if you just trust
Live your life as if it’s the last
Most people always in grieve
But it’s okay because I always believe

The Pattern of Possibility

What is inside your heart right at the moment? 
Are you lonely or excited? Are you needed a hug? 
Friends are all over you; giving you unlimited pleasure and amusement 
But have you find someone that comforts you? A real friend

I wonder how this movie script ending
That every life is a movie and you are in it
Life is a free will. Choices are everywhere
But what is left? What makes you so sure?
Is the life that you chose is the one you’re supposed to choose?

Others say that dreams are delusional 
And hope is only to give people a hollow motivation
But people who hold their dreams are the ones that stable
They may fall but hopes keep them to hang on for another day

You can hold on to your dream but don’t let it be your master
Will it coming true? It’s only a possibility
But through it, you will gain sureness
That you will walk in the line you’re supposed to walk

You have waited more than you ever think of
Never counted how many wines you have drank
How many nights with cries and screams you have spend?
Even how many praying you have uttered

Anything that happens in this world is possibility
And time will answer all questions 
You may not reach an apple on the highest tree without a ladder
It’s impossible but there is no reason that maybe you can reach it so easily

Maybe life is all about fiction and fantasy
Where reality only offers us cruelty and disappointment
That’s why we look elsewhere
To live for something else, to save and to be saved or to love and to be loved

Drowning

" Drowning "

Drowning in my teardrops
sinking in them deep
feeling so inadequate
no longer can I sleep.

So many precious moments
lost now since that day
our happiness and our future
gone when you went away.

My broken heart is shattered
impossible to rebuild
the wounds are cut too deeply
emptiness is what I yield.

Sad eyes forever burning
with these tears I shed
the ache is really killing me
my spirit is now dead.

Drowning in these teardrops
morning as I fall
I'm hopelessly awaiting
to see if you will call.

My telephone is silent
the mail never comes
my life is fading quickly
what am I to become?

My love, I really miss you
I pray that you'll return
my heart will always love you
I'll never let that burn.

The door is always open
to the love that we once shared
please don't throw it all away
I know you really cared.

Drowning in my teardrops
I'll sit here and I'll pray
that one day you'll come back to me
to build a brand new day.

You've hurt me like no other
the only love I knew
all of this pain is worth it
to spend my life with you...

I Have Choice, I Am Free

Instructed to order, his command I’d abide
To live and to breathe, right there at his side.
My life was for him to do as he please,
Until I remembered the strength inside me.
I found my courage and chance to be free.

So now when I see the pour of the rain
I walk through the re-growth,
Remembering my own regeneration.
When I see the sun fading, I smile,
Looking forward to tomorrow,
Because it's mine to plan.

When I see grey clouds pass overhead,
I know I am strong enough to highlight the fun I had today.
If I am pulled down, criticized, I know it's my choice to listen.
So with each bad day I remind myself of one good thing,
And know I can make lots more tomorrow.
I AM FREE!

It’s my life now and I’ll make it how I want it to be.
When I smile I know others smile with me,
And as I laugh others laugh with me,
And if they do laugh at me, why should it matter,
I make the future bright because I have new strength,
That grows with each new sun set.

I am free and it's okay to be me.
So when the night turns cold and I’m alone,
I know I’m alright because I have new insight to guide me,
And I now have choice standing beside me.

For This Day

I bid to sleep to death
For i have lived a life of wealth
No riches attached,but gaiety dwells
For this sorrow in me swells
Oh creator! I bid your take
The life in me forsake
For this life is a tempt
That draws upon to him,the world's attempt
My wish is to go away
Away! Lead me not  astray
Form: ABC

And Life Goes On

I’m exhausted of this life and everything it holds
Beneath these sealed doors of every new day
As cheerful as I try to open these folds
Yet a new obstacle emerges in my way

I climb the mountains covered with thorns
For the long dark tunnel in my mind
Ends with a light where a new me is born
That’s the beginning I seek to find

Like a crippled who can’t walk alone
Or a baby that needs to be cared for
My (soul-mate brothers) consulate my lone
And the (angel of beauty) chills my heart sore

As the wheel of life rotates us helpless
We just have to accept the simple fact
That there are days filled with darkness
And others where control we lack

God forbid such days remain
The coin of life has another face
But patience is a virtue you must maintain
To reach your aim in life’s race

The creepy night’s darkness shall fade away
Young beams of the sun will shine your sky
Your misery shall witness a new day
Where everything is possible and hopes are high

Rainbows of happiness shall fill your world
Waterfalls of satisfaction will flood your heart
Straight to success your life shall be curled
And your heart of love will be struck by a dart

Every end is not an end
Its just a start that isn't yet shown
If once in a day your luck was bent
Never give up for life goes on ....

The Billion Dollar Man's Paycheque

A feat of unequal measure
do you hear what i hear?
the world at my feet
do you see what i see?

the homeless mastermining a demonstartion of peace
for the billion dollar man to get real paid
everything after eventual to the realisation
he would never let them down

a repeating act of a hidden blessing
providing a safety net to protect
the victoms of war
who were claimed by the game of making one's life unfair

The art of replacing negatives with positives
robbing your two cents to show you there may be money in your healing process
the reality check that sets you off on your adventure
of discovering the plan life had for you
would be payment enough for this billion dollar man

Lightness!

If the life in you is the life you love
And the joy of life is your purpose,
Then stand up and sing,
Sing loud of that thing,
And never be heavy again.

Ah, for the body of right is a lightness,
And its engine a rational will,
And the self-leading soul, now a fighter,
Will never be heavy again!

If the thought in you is the dream you live,
And the aim of dream is your profit,
Then stand up and sing,
Sing loud of that thing,
And never look down again!

Ah, for the cup that is full is a lightness,
However so large it be,
And the self-loving soul, now a giant,
Will never look down again!

Oh, if flesh of Ideal is the flesh you want,
And mind-in-body your mast'ry,
Then clasp her and swing,
Bell bound to that thing,
And never be heavy again!

Ah!  For the Altar Of Want is a lightness,
Where never a true love lost,
And the power of pride, inspiring,
Will never be heavy again!

If kisses, embraces, and profits and life,
Aren't misses and chases, and losses and strife,
Then get them and do them and earn them and win,
And never be never be heavy again! Hah!

Maybe You Will Understand

Maybe you will understand

Written By Dean Masciarelli

August 28, 2010 (4:58pm)


Maybe you will understand

What its like to be alone

Because you have been 
alone for a very long time 

Without being with anyone

Just like I have been 

Because I made the decision 
not to be with anyone
until I do find the right one

And I am sure that you 
have 
done the very same thing

Yet there’s a part of you that 
is still hoping and praying
just like I am that you can find

One very special human being

That still believes in
loyalty and dedication

That can be your very best 
friend
and your faithful companion

But you know something
it just seems that people
like that are becoming 
much more difficult to find

But if you are luckier then I am

And you finally do find someone

Much sooner then I find mine

At least your fate will be
better then mine has been
and you wont have 
to be alone like I’ve been  
so that your life can be
more 
fulfilling and rewarding

I just hope and pray with 
all of my heart that the same 
thing happens to me in return

Because it would be the ultimate blessing
to be able to have that kind of a connection
with someone who is truly loving and genuine
that wants all the same things that I have been 
wanting and needing in this life time of mine

My Pathway

The path thats paved for me 
Starts with the first gasp of breath 
Along the path are obsticals in wich i cant see
My destiny to life or death 
I say its lifes choices  
I say it is a part of life 
I listen to my inner voices 
Watching for the ones bearing the knife

I Try To Be a Good Girl

I sit here on this porch
Puffing on a other Camel Cig
Wonder where my life will go as I grow older
Will I ever find the guy of my eye?
Will I ever get to see my kids again?
Will my mother change her lien ways
I try to live my life to the fullest
But I always regret it 
I go to church when I can
I try to be a good girl
But it’s like trouble always seem to find me
Sometime it feels like god is punishing me 
Before my dad died
I had someone to run too 
And talk too 
Now I got No one but myself
I feel so alone in this world
God please give me sign
me
