What You Do To Me

What You Do to Me© 2011 by MARTY LIPSCOMB


You cheer me up when I am feeling down.
You make me laugh and erase my frown.
You give me hope when there is none.
You make me feel like number one.
You take my love and give much more.
You fulfill my life when it seems a bore.
You make me live when I feel like dying.
You make me succeed when I have stopped trying.
You make me see things that shall never be.
You take complete control of me.
And when I think of all the things you do,
It makes me glad that you are you.

Angel of Love

Angel of Love © 2011 by MARTY LIPSCOMB


She’s an angel of love, sent from above
Who fills my life with happiness and love.
Only heaven knows why she was sent to me
But the fact that she’s mine is plain to see.
There’s a place in my heart where she’ll always stay
And I hope her love will never go away.
In this cold, bitter world of push and shove
Thank God for the sweetness of my “angel of love”.

Is It

IS IT ???
      © 2011 by MARTY LIPSCOMB

Is it fact or fiction?
Is your love for real?
Is it what you’re thinking?
Or is it what you feel?
Is it that we’re lovers?
Or is that we’re friends?
Is our love here to stay?
Or is it just a trend?
Is it our emotions?
Or is it just a dream?
Is it something made up?
Or is it how it seems?
Is it meant for us?
Or is it just for fun?
Is it that we have a love?
Is it really on the one?
Is it what we need?
Or is it that we don’t?
Is it true, that we can’t?
Or is it that we won’t?
Well, is it?
