[Foreigner]
waiting for a girl like you -
the wild flower by the gate
[Phil Collins]
another day in paradise -
my love chalice filled and refilled
[The Beatles]
here comes the sun -
furtively she draws the curtain to my heart
[Creedence Clearwater Revival]
have you ever seen the rain?
I was blind to unspoken love
[Simon & Garfunkel]
the sound of silence -
we dance to the rhythm of our hearts
[Lady Antebellum]
need you now -
the rose petals keep falling…down
[A Rocket to the Moon]
baby blue eyes -
heaven reflected in the swell of the sea
[Mary Hopkin]
those were the days
…and then your hand slipped out of mine
[Sting]
fields of gold -
the setting sun ripples on water
[Ronan Keating]
when you say nothing at all -
searching for reassurance in your eyes

I’m not wishful anymore
or here to ride the wave
My feet both mired in aging mud,
my heart now turned away
I’m not here to save the world,
nobility be damned
Time on trial my last denial
—on distant Ronan land

Dear fellow being,
You don't know me
But yeah, I was once
a hopeless romantic like you
Cards and flowers were my favourite
And chocolates, my share of happiness
Like you, I danced to happy tunes
And sang with the rain
I wrote my dreams with colors
But now I believe in nothing but black
Sunrises and sunsets were peaceful
And full moon nights, the manifestation of love
Now it's just another day, I have to get through
No no, I lack no confidence and joy
But pinks are now blues
And yellows are gray
The pillars of trust are more ashen
And love is another bargain.
But could you please be kind enough
And compose me into a poem?
Like I used to compose someone like you
Will you write a song in my name??
That'll give me a glimpse of the world I left
Will you climb the tree with me
And share my laughter and craziness??
Will you dance with me
All night long under the bright stars???
On "when you say nothing at all" by Ronan Keatings
So that I can experience the comfort of love
One last time, One last radiant hue.

Written for my wife in the melody of When you say nothing at all by Ronan Keeting
its amazing that you stayed with me all these years
through the good and the bad the tantrums and tears
I know when youre sad before you even speak
Before tears start to roll past your cheek
Our love is much more than the words that are spoken
A bond that’s so strong and can never be broken
a loving embrace that you give me each time that I fall
me without you means that I’m nothing at all
you’re the reason my heart keeps on beating each day
you’re the light on my path that shows me the way
best friends for life, through the joy and the pain
fall in love everyday all over again
Our love is much more than the words that are spoken
A bond that’s so strong and can never be broken
a loving embrace that you give me each time that I fall
me without you means that I’m nothing at all

Your soul was being attacked
Meanwhile mine carried bags
Of sorrow, devastation and guilt
For I knew your little body couldn’t handle this
This cancer that sprung up out of nowhere when you were two
But you got your army men and went to work
Fighting
How strong your little heart was
Bigger than any of those little army men
Nevertheless, your little body didn’t fight forever
How could it?
So I sat you on my lap and told you that it was okay
You died that day.
So now,
Every chance I get I say screw Cancer
Fot taking the most precious boy I’d ever laid eyes on.

Rockstar Ronan's eyes were as blue as the Caribbean.
They showed strength, and love.
And they made you feel a sense of ease.
As if letting you know things are okay.
So shocking how easy it is to see so much misery in a child's eyes.
But he wasn't one of them.
He had the courage to fight a waged war from cancer on him.
With no fear, he was ready.
He fought his best, but unfortunately lost in his mother's arms 3 days before his 4th birthday.
But his eyes would have never have let you suspect he was ill.
They were playful, timid, sweet.
A gentle touch to warm a cold heart.
Nothing had ever made me feel as if the world didn't consist of any evil at all.
Looking into those eyes made me feel safe.
Made me want to make a difference.
I wish my eyes could hold the strength like his.
Rockstar Ronan is a real child that did pass last year.
You can find his mother's blog called 'Rockstar Ronan' or look up 'Rockstar Ronan' and he will pop up. You really should see those eyes. Also, Taylor Swift just wrote a song about him. Called 'Ronan' check it out. It will bring tears to your eyes.
