Look at me in the eyes
I'm larger than life
A towering monolith
Surrounded by phonies
And plastic ponies
It's a shame I'm the only
One standing tall
But he who stands tall
Must inevitably fall
At least that's what they say
But they say
So many things
So in one ear
And out the other
Look me in the eyes
Tell me when I'm tellin' lies
Each day is a new chapter
And sure
Maybe I cut some pages out
But I've still got a novel
Built from numerous experiences
And those dark days
Those really dark days
Are like drifting storm clouds
But at the very end
Is a pot of gold
And if I may be bold
Look at me now
I'm larger than life
Yeah, I'm larger than life

It's not fair it's not right,
All year caring for others,
Full of life and laughter,
A laugh that was so contagious,
We all had to laugh with you,
She loved a LARGE mug of tea,
She said things as she saw them
A fighter not someone to give in,
Illness didnt win with you,
A front liner you where a carer,
When you became ill we new you would fight,
But into hospital you went,
You did fight for so long,
Seeming to turn a corner,
But covid beat you in the end,
Your a woman to be remembered,
She wouldnt want tears,
Celebrate her life laughter is what she would want,
Elaine the stars will shine brighter but it will be darker here.
You will be remembered by everyone your life touched xx

Larger-than-life love
Is truly time-tested one;
It comes when least expected,
As the other is easily gone.
True love lasts a lifetime,
Found in one's good heart;
Two people are both in love,
Yes, till death do they part.
The lovers' common vow
Is to promote each other's cause;
The solemn promise they fulfill
Non-stop, without pause.
Each time they bond together
Is something so especial;
Letting the friendship grow
Is indeed exceptional.
You can't count the blessings
Like the billion stars above;
They enjoy them gladly
With larger-than-life love.

Should the dark clouds of pain
overwhelm your already broken soul
and the sun has been covered
by a night sky of stars to far to shine,
Should the blood of your fragile body
turn frozen into ice
and the air around you too cold
to thaw your bones into warmth,
Should you ever lose direction
because your maps have been torn apart
by the evils of society
that you are unable to find your way,
Always know there is one place
where you can go in need of warmth,
a place where the sun can shine,
and you can be finally be guided
by the strength of our embrace.
Whenever you lose your way
know that I am here,
together, we are unstoppable
and can conquer fears so far away,
fly into the wonders of space.
Although it's been so long,
I have yet to fade away
you may have disappeared
into little specks of air,
but in my eyes you will always
be bigger than the sun.
Spur of the moment. Just wrote it in a second. It sucks, but that's why I'm writing. I want to get better at it.
