You once told me that when I grow up,
A handsome prince would come along.
He'd kiss my lips and take me away
To a castle really, really far.
Well, now that I am all grown up now -
I am longing for that kiss,
Longing to see my lovers face.
I cant wait to meet my prince.
Its now my turn to feel the joy
Of loving someone else.
To know what its finally like to
Have someone just to myself.
To feel someones arms around my body.
Keeping me warm all nite.
To whisper to each other and feel
Passion all thru the nite.
To have someone to come home to,
To know theres someone who cares.
To be my provider and protector,
And to know he'll always be there.
Its my turn to hold his hand
Because I waited, I know its from above.
Im ready now to meet MY prince--
Now its my turn for love.

He comes in the door very tired from a long hard days work,
Throws off his vest and kicks off his shoe-
He falls down onto the bed.
Moms in the kitchen planning up tonites dinner.
She comes yelling out of her room and runs and jumps on her daddy!
She cuddles up to him and they laugh and play.
"Take me for a walk daddy-- I want to go outside and play".
Even though he's dead tired, he musters up some strength
To take his little girl outside.
To see the smile on her face as she rides her bike back and forth,
Into the driveway for a little while --
Than plays jumprope and a little hopscotch.
Oh how he just loves to see her smile!!
The ice-cream man passes by and she yells,
"Daddy, can I get one please??"
Daddy reaches for his wallet,
And shes already picked out the one she wants!
Together they sit on the porch
With their ice-creams dripping down their hands.
They sing silly songs and kick their feet as she gets tired--
OOHH!! AT LAST!!!
Ok, now its time for us to go inside!
With dinner ready and it smells so great!
She reaches over to hug her dad- smiling,
As she holds her daddy's hand.

My dear friend,
We have come soo far down this road called life,
Steady side by side.
Faithful to our friendship.
You have been my strength in time of need,
So this I will promise you.
if you get weak along the way-
I will share my strength with you to keep you strong.
If you get weary and tired as you walk,
If you loose faith and trust along the way,
I will remind you that God said it will be ok!
If you do happen to fall apart,
I will be there to help put you back together.
If you feel sad and need to shed a tear,
I will be there to cry along with you.
If you stray away and get lost-
I will be there to help guide you back.
Because you have done all this for me
In my desperate time of need--
My dear friend,
This is my friend promise (to you).

The trees sway back and forth
And the last of the green summer leaves wave to and fro.
They wave as if to say goodbye to a season passed
And getting ready to fall and wither away--
Leaving its branches bare and naked.
They are getting ready for a cold winter ahead.
The clouds paint the sky with its silver rain clouds,
Covering what was the dark blue night behind it.
A breeze sways by giving you a chill and aching your body and bones.
It chills my nose.
The cool crisp breeze,
I take in a deep breathe and sigh,
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
How fresh the air is,
How clean it smells,
How good it feels-
Even in its coldness.
This nice,quiet,
Cold October night.

A young boy living out in the streets
With no family and no food to eat.
A single prayer can change his life.
Theres a girl tonite crying out her eyes,
Shes 6 months pregnant,17 and no life-
A single prayer can change her hife.
Sitting alone in his cell room, a father of 4 in prison,
Wishing he had his family.
A single prayer can change his life.
Crying in her kitchen she looks at her youngest sons photo,
A mother mourns for her loss, someone took her babies soul.
A single prayer can change her life.
A brother and sister sit in the hospital waiting room,
A drunk driver hit their parents on their way home.
A single prayer can change their life.
Sometimes we go through trials,
Sometimes we face hard times.
But when we get on our knees and pray-
God hears our every cry.
Just remember prayer is powerful
And God can fix all our problems.
So when someone is in need of prayer-
Just call on God and he will be there to help them.

I use to think that dreams were only fairytales,
That they didnt really come true.
I thought I'd never feel love again-
But I never thought I'd meet you .
I use to think love wasnt for me-
That I wasnt suppose to be happy.
I was always sad and always crying,
But than you came along and put a smile on my face.
I always thought I was suppose to get hurt,
That it was the way things were suppose to be for me.
I didnt know I could feel so much joy,
I didnt know it could happen for me, to me.
I didnt know there was someone out there
Who was waiting for me to be loved.
I didnt know it was you waiting,
But now I know you are my one true love.
Until I found you, all I knew was pain.
Until I found you, all I felt was sadness.
Until I found you, all I did was cry.
But than you came along-you changed my life.
I use to think dreams were only fairytales,
Until I found you .

You don't have to promise me the moon and the stars,
I won't have any use for them.
You don't have to promise me the heavens in the clouds,
Because I know someday I will be up there.
Don't promise me all the money in the world,
I know I can get my own.
Don't promise me diamonds and pearls,
I am not much of a material girl.
Don't promise me you'll love me forever,
Because someday that love will fade.
Don't promise me you'll always be there,
Because people tend to drift away.
Don't promise me you'll try harder,
There will be no room for mistakes.
Don't promise me promises that you can't keep,
Promises are meant to be broken.
Just promise me you'll try.
You'll try to make me happy.
You'll try to see past my imperfections.
You'll try to see what I don't see.
You'll try harder.
You'll try, just promise me that.

If you were still here,
All the lonliness in my heart would drift away.
If you were still here,
I'd wish for you to always stay.
if you were still here,
You'd wrap your arms around me.
If you were still here,
You'd tell me how much you loved me.
If you were still here,
There'd always be a smile on my face.
If you were still here,
I'd have better days.
if you were still here,
I wouldn't be here crying.
If you were still here,
You'd be here to dry my eyes.
If you were still here,
We'd be having soo much fun.
If you were still here,
We'd laugh all day long.
If you were still here,
You would hold me late at nite.
If you were still here,
You'd always assure me things would be alright.
If you were still here,
My soul would not be aching.
If you were still here,
My heart would not be breaking.
If you were still here,
Things would be different now.
But you have since left me,
And I sit and wonder how??
You are gone now,
And there's nothing I can do.
But if you were still here,
You'd see how much I love you.

When you feel a peace come upon you,
When you feel someone gently touch you,
You know he is with you.
When you are happy and just feel like crying,
Or when you are sad and just feel like dying,
You know he is with you.
When you awake in the morning
And hear the birds rejoicing,
You know he is with you.
When you fall asleep at night
And see the stars twinkling,
You know he is with you.
When you dream at nite of angels
And they're singing in beautiful chorus,
You know he is with you.
He is with you when you wake,
He is with you when you sleep,
He is with you in your dreams,
And when you are feeling lonely,
Never doubt because
GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU!
