Oh?! ?How I used to sit and fret
lost in self-pity? ?,? ?and count the cost
wallowing in the misery of
the muck and mire of romances lost
How pathetic was my thinking
sinking in sorrow of yesterday
fearful of tomorrow,? ?full of lingering
pathos and pain of love cast away.
Sick to death of suffering?;
weary of wearing woebegone
I searched out the heavy hand of fate
and,? ?found that hand to be my own.
Examination,? ?of my behaviors
unfiltered by guilt and shame
revealed to me no fault to assign?;
left me with no one to blame.
In this world,? ?all is temporal
everything here will pass away
how arrogant to try to hold forever
what some don't find for even a day
How many pass through life,? ?with no love
from exiting womb to entering ground
Rather than mourn the loves I've lost,
I'll treasure the measure of love I found.
Oh Jesus, sweet and loving Jesus.
Savior of the world, light into my dark.
Precious, precious Jesus.
Who can compare with what You've done?
Who can truthfully say that You're not the One?
Oh Lord, my wonderful Lord.
Strength to the weak, rest for the weary.
Awesome, Awesome Lord.
Who can deny Your supernatural ways?
Who can turn down Your outstanding grace?
I love Your name, it's like no other.
I love the way You call us Your sisters and brothers.
Precious, precious Jesus.
Everyone’s turned against us, but I know that we’ll be just fine
Cause I know they all want to the have kind of love that’s mine
Nobody can take away this feeling that we’re feeling right now
To all those people out there who think they can judge us, I say ciao
They say we’re not right for each other, that it could never work out
But I know that this is gonna be a love will last, without a single doubt
We just have to stand strong, we can’t let them wear us down
Cause as soon as we graduate, we’ll be gone and out of this town
I knew about your broken past, but I chose to love you anyway
If they come and try and fill me with doubt, I’ll just show them the doorway
They don’t understand how you and I can create a love that can shine
But no matter what they say don’t let them make you go out of your mind
Who do they think they are telling us what to do-never deciding for ourselves?
They can’t tell us we’re wrong just because they can’t find our kind of love for themselves
Their lies are so loud, so believable, that they’re hard to ignore, just like a billboard
sign
But I’ll never let this go, no matter what they say, cause I’ve finally found a love
that’s mine
Ummi
(Mother)
Now I stop dear Ummi to think
Of all the things you’ve done
Of all the tears you’ve dried for me
And all the battles won
Of all the times my head hung low
Without a friend to care
Now looking back
I clearly see
It was you dear Ummi
Who was always there!
You never let me do without
You had my back without a doubt!
Without your tender loving care
My whole world I could not bear!
I love you with my entire heart
I loved you from the start!
I pray you know how much I care
Disappointing you I could not bear!
I love you Ummi!
Imagine(Nation)
(Inspired by and Dedicated to the Memory Of John Lennon)
Imagine nations of togetherness,
Brothers and sisters becoming one,
Imagine nations on forever's quest,
One heartbeat staring at one sun,
Imagine nations with outstretched hands,
Offering each to a stranger's needs,
Imagine nations who understand,
Every person hurts, everybody bleeds,
Imagine nations ending war,
Sans malice, and abundant smiles,
Imagine nations unlike before,
Teaching love to every child,
Imagine nations achieving grace,
Serene lives and elated minds,
Imagine nations on an infant's face,
Full of innocence easy to find,
Imagine nations devoted to peace,
Wishing no harm on any man,
Imagine nations as we know to cease,
Reborn and taught a perfect plan,
Imagine nations of future times,
With love becoming the tie that binds,
Imagine nations by this elation,
Imagine nations with this Imagination,
Caregiver
It’s who I am and what I LOVE to do
I’ll make you smile when you’re feeling blue
And help you get well when you’ve got the flu
I will do the things no one else cares to do
I'll care for you as I would my own child
Make sure you have your usual style
Yes, I know this may take a while
But all the while, I’ll be wearing a warm smile
First, we will get you showered
This will take us about an hour
I will apply your make-up and brush your hair
Then, we’ll decide what you will wear
I'll get you dressed and tie your shoes
Now, that you’re groomed we can leave the room
Next, we eat in our usual place
I promise to always keep you safe
Yes, I have your Kleenex just in case
I grab the paper and read you the News
Make your bed and do laundry too
How I do it; people don’t have a clue
My answer; "If you only knew"
The joy I have in making their grey skies blue
Caregiver, it’s who I am and what I love to do
As a mother, sister, daughter, or friend
I am a Caregiver to the end
Lay
Love me... Hold me... Kiss me... Show the love I have searched for... We fight... We make
up... And fall back into our mess... But I never let got... In spite of what other
thinks... My focus is on my goals and my desire... Me... You... And love have a destiny
willing to be fulfilled.... In this moment... All that I have is in my hands... And all
that I want is in you... Hold these words and speak how you it feels... Love is forever...
Time has no boundaries.... And eternity.... has no limit on us.... Stop and witness pure
love at it's finest... In the time... We will grow..
Rock and roll,
I love it!
Banging drums,
Loud singing,
And hums.
Gorgeous guitar solos,
Crowds jumping,
And dancing.
Singing about,
The good times,
Rocking and rolling,
Swaying long hair.
Head rocking,
Show stopping tracks.
Rock and roll,
Was claimed a fad.
But it’ll forever last.
So play that guitar,
Sing that song loud,
A great American pastime,
And I’m proud,
To say today,
And all days.
Rock and roll,
I love it!

Our love is stronger than ever
we have no reason to say never
your problems are mine
you are my valentine
you have my back through everything
you don't even know the happiness that you bring
strong love is carried throughout my soul
you ask me if i want to go bowl
i say yes
there is very little stress
sometimes we fight
but we always find the light
you brighten up the room
and save me from doom
our love is strong
it is like a song
when i let you go before
i was upset but not anymore
when i'm in your loving arms
i feel free from harm
we have strong love
and i really beleive that you were sent from above
I love you more, than words will ever say
I think of just us, every night and day.
Talking and sharing, just being with you
There’s nothing on this earth, I’d rather do.
It happened so quickly, we fell in love
It could be meant, by the man up above.
I tingle all over, just by your touch
I’ll love you forever, so very much.
Special songs and dreams, and time together
I’ll cherish the memories, always forever.
I’ll never be able, to say goodbye
The thought of us parting, still makes me cry.
You’ll always hold, a very special part
Forever and always, you’ll have my heart.
a beautiful blessing
that a disaster could be desired
by a love so deep
unfathomable
That's where my freedom is found
in that love
that disaster being me
found in the love of Christ
which breaks all chains of
fear
doubt
guilt
pride
sin
this beauty diving that I call mine
called me his before the beginning of time
Why do you choose to love me wholeheartedly?
Even when I betray your trust, why do you forgive me?
What have I done for you to stick by my side all these years?
you are the only person who has never in life disappointed me.
When I let you down numerous times, you were still there to uplift me.
Since I have known you, you have always kept your word.
How come you cotinuously love me?
I have not earned merely an ounce of your never-changing companionship.
Why am I in that number that you perpetually bless?
What makes me so special?
He gave his life up on a cross
To save that which was are lost
He endured pain and many stripes
For people of all types
He was and is always will be
And he died for you and me
His love for us is oh so great
He waits for us at heavens gate
He is the son of our most high Gos
And he walks where saints have trod
And by his love and unfailing grace
I know some day I'll see his face
He is the Savior of the world
He was, and is, and will be
He is the Savior of the world
Though I am not worthy
He has saved me
He is the Savior of the world
its funny how love is, it makes you feel all googlish at times;
playing a sweet lulliby.
seeing stars twinkle, and at that time,
nothing even matter.
o' then theres the love that hurts;
leaving you all teary eyed.
causing evil thinking with thoughts of
endin life.
being in a state of confusement,
trying to pull it together-
dressing in the " im doing just fine" attire
and it seems that,
Thats The Way Love Goes.
love isnt supose to hurt...we often think.
where is the love(charity) people speaks about?
loving one another and treating one
like we treat ourselves
yet we still think,
Thats The Way Love Goes
there is a love thats unconditional
goes far beyound infinity.
never dwelling on our mistakes
and keeping us from day to day.
it calls out to us in a little small voice
yearning for our response,
allowing us free will and constanly
offers forgiviness without a catch.
there is such a love that is meek,kind,and
forgiving.
its within us and gives us an oppertunity to show
someone eles that
Thats The Way Love Goes.
