Look up to the sky
And question what you see,
For there are lines a plenty,
Where lines ought not to be!
“what if this doesn’t work out- we can all still be friends right?”
“you know you can be honest with me, right? i’ll be here for you”
“X, you’re just being neurotic. you are neurotic.”
"no, i'm sure, you're the only one i want"
“i don’t think i’ll stop watching until we have sex because that’s what really turns me on”
“X, i had no idea how much you were hurting. i’ll never do that- i’ll never hurt you again”
“i lied these last two months. every time i said i was looking at you, i was also looking at them.”
“i am worried about you, X.”
my favorite liars.
In my heart, you're engraved, a cherished part
Even though we're apart, you remain a work of art
I wish you endless joy, beyond measure
May your life be filled with love and treasure
Though my heart trembles at the thought of another's embrace
I can't predict if we'll share the same space
Every flaw in others, a glaring sight
But in you, perfection takes flight
Yet fate's path remains a mystery
The future holds uncertainty
Your essence whispers on the breeze
In melodies, my soul finds ease
And as I yearn for you, day and night
I'll hold onto hope, shining bright
For love's journey is an intricate dance
With twists and turns, a cosmic chance
The little cats all look up to the terrible lion.
If they do not pay homage, he may eat them.
He gobbles the weakest runts and the old ones up in big bites.
Letting them know what he thinks of them, bullying and snarling.
Why do we look up to this guy? One of the smaller one asks.
Because it may save our life someday another one says.
But what if we all banned against him and stood up to him?
He is king of beasts, and we are mere kittens. Don’t be ridiculous!
So, the big bully gets powerful and looked up to,
And we get smaller and smaller, being eaten one at a time?
Now you understand, the fearful cat said.
I knew you would.
Yours was the caring face
Staring back at me,
Someone to look up to ...
When you didn't have to be
Always brave, always strong
And so inspiring to me,
Encouraging all along ...
When you didn't have to be
I'm grateful that you
Are still there for me,
Someone to lean on ...
When you didn't have to be
An artist, a mother
And a cousin to me ...
More like a big sister
When you didn't have to be
Listen
Listen
just listen
Listen to be wise;
Look up into the skies;
Relinquish your hopes;
Giving in to the voice;
Listen
Listen
just listen
Listen to be wise;
Look up into the skies;
Keep your heart on the right course
Look up to Jesus
Trust and believe
Listen to be wise;
Look up into the skies;
Keep your heart on the right course
Look up to Jesus

Proverbs 23:19
When I look up at the dusky sky each night
see silver stars which are shining bright
moonbeams sparkle on the sea
I feel so carefree.
velvet blue
we
wave adieu
because soon I’ll see
the sun rising above me
until nightfall brings me pure delight
when I look up at the dusky sky each night

I look up to people who are taller that me
Ha! Just made a funny, bet you're slapping your knee
Got a million of 'em
An amazing femme
Wait a minute, I'm a macho male, a fifties escapee
She is four years younger,
But she is stronger.
She is mentally mature & knows how to speak her mind.
I look up to someone younger & smaller than I,
My little sister, Rachel, we have a special tie.
We are two sisters, in a world of hecticness.
She knows what she wants, she knows what she believes,
And she is determined.
I look up to her.
She works hard to achieve what she sets her mind to,
She doesn’t bend to the world’s ways - she doesn’t care much what is or isn’t ‘cool.’
She creates her own breeze, her own sun, she believes in Father, Spirit, Son.
She is my little sister - but I have so much to learn from her.
It is her confidence, and compassion, and strength,
That carry her to become her truest self.
People have no fear of who created them
Fraud become their joy, when
Conscience lost
There action and inaction steal the
Joy of so many people,when conscience lost
Hatred is their pride
When love lost
Killing is what they boast
Of,when fear lost
Must we hate? NO
Must we kill? NO
Let look up to God
To save the world
Lord I am in a bind, for I have fallen behind, I"m in trouble and don't know what to do, so Lord Jesus, I look up to you. Lord I grow weak and weary in need of rest, so I turn to you to take away my distress. People say do this, do that, but when I do there's always a catch.
Go here, go there, each time I do I end up no where. So what do you do when you don't know what? You keep running in circles and stay in a rut. Your friends turn their backs on you and that's a kick in the gut.
Bad thoughts running through my head, maybe I'm better off dead, I'm starting to see red. They say pick yourself up and get a grip, I'm trying everything I can not to flip, I pray to you Lord, don't let me slip.
Lord I need guidance, I feel so blue, so again, Lord Jesus I look up to you. I been through so much, but now my eyes have been opened because my heart you have touched and It don't matter what they say, I know I am a beautiful spirit because you made me this way.
Now doors are starting to open, faces are becoming new and I know Lord, I owe It all to You. For You are my Lord, All Knowing, Kind and True. This is why Lord Jesus, I Look Up To You.
Look up to the sky
Look up in the sky and what do you see?
Is it an airplane flying by me?
Look up to the sky what do you see?
Is it the sun shinning down on me?
Look up to the sky what do you see.
The moon is smiling down on you.
Look up to the sky what do you see.
The rain coming down on you and me.
Don't look now to the sky for birds are above.
And you don't know what will come down.
I've seen you around a man or two
Woderous pairs you were
Again everyday a new pair
your beauty is replaced by make up
Your face replaced by plastic
Your body is alive yet rotting
Your lungs always filled with smoke
You are so beautiful and enlightening
You are smart but act dumb
Why, Why, Why is that so?
What makes you different from the rest?
Can i really look up to you Mama?
your my pride and joy
from a young boy
iwatch things you do
i must say in everyway
REPECT YOU TOO
LOOK UP TO YOU
you got me hook
look your look
in my life
you are right
and in my book
repect all you do
I LOOK UP TO YOU
