Maybe

she had no friends to talk to
her parents were always gone
and no matter what kind of chioces she made
they'd tell her she was wrong
she kept the feelings deep inside
and the thoughts that she possessed
until she couldn't take it anymore
so to herself she confessed
Her life was no longer worth living
she thoguht no one would care
and as she lay awake at night
this pain she could not bear
she slowly sat up on her bed
and wished that she was dead
she got up and she grabbed a gun
and put it to her head
she ended her life right then and there
with no one to oversee
as she closed the door that gave her life 
and threw away the key
No longer on earth and unable to see
 her voice now can't be heard
she now wished that she would have thought
and wondered why this she preferred
something that she did not know
is that she had it all wrong
that many people missed her 
once they found out she was gone
for the people who ignored her
what she did made them think
that maybe if they had ever tried
her life wouldn't have had to sink
maybe if she would have changed
maybe if once she decided to try
then maybe she might still be alive
and wouldn't have felt the need to die
maybe if someone showed their love 
and acted like they cared
then she might still be alive
with joy, hope and love to share
maybe if she wouldn't have made
the things in life seem so bad
then maybe she could have turned her life around
and been happy for the life she had

Fulfilled Dreams

he smiles at her
but says not a word
hopeing that through his actions
his voice would be heard
without even thinking
she knows how he feels
she looks at him and sees
that she's head over heels
now their together
a little more than just friends
saying that their in love
and never going to end
they promised eachother 
that they'd always be there
they'd never tell lies
and they'd always be fair
their one year in to it
and their still going strong
stil keeping their promise
always getting along
one day he comes home
and he hands her a rose
then he takes a deep breath
and kneels down to propose
he froze for a moment
as thoughts filled up his head
he looked her in the eyes
then he came out and said
i love you with all my heart
its with you i want to be
i never want to be apart
so will you marry me?
she looked up into his eyes
unsure of what to do
as she's still taken by surprise
she said, "yes i'll marry you"
two months later,still in love
at the church upon the hill
they looked at eachother and recited their vows
as their dreams became fulfilled

Answered Prayers

A little boy, about age eight
who never did anything bad
walked home alone from school each day
to a drunk, abusive dad
He tried to stay away from him
and go about his way
but his mind just kept on going back
to how his momma left that day
she was the one who would save him
whenever things weren't going right
and how he wished he could have stopped her
from being killed that night
because now he's got no momma
to tuck him into bed each night
all he has is a lot of trauma
and a dad who only wants to fight
his dad tells him he hates him
and tells him to go away
so he sarts to walk up to his room 
to forget about the day
As he's going to his room
He doesn't make a sound
And without having a reason
his dad pushed him to the ground
He tries so hard to hold it in
he tries not to cry the tears
but he can't help but let it out
when his dad's voice is all he hears
so he quickly walked up to his room
and he quietly closes the door
with hopes that his unloving father
he won't have to see anymore
Then he runs to his bed
puts his face in the pillow
he feels so let down
wished the pain inside would go
when he thinks about his dad
It brings tears to his eyes
becasue he feels so bad
Cause he believes all the lies
So he gets down on the floor
By the side of his bed
And he closes his eyes
And he quietly says
God please help my daddy
just please let him see
that since he's started drinking
that he's been hurting me
I wan't him to love me
I want him to care
i just want to know that
he will always be there
so God if you hear me
I hope that this might
Just be one of the prayers
That you answer tonight
So he got up off his knees
and crawled back into bed
while his mind rested at ease
that God heard what he said
He awakes in the morning
with his dad by his bed
his dad looked him in the eyes
and this is what he said
Son i want you to know i love you
and i want you to know i care
and i want you to know if you need me
that i will always be right there
I don't know what i was thinking
why to you i've been so untrue
and i've decided to stop drinking
to show you how much i love you

Always There

When life was tough
You were always right there
When i needed a hug
You were always right there
When life just wasn't right
You were always right there
When i was hurting inside
You were always right there
But now that your gone
It feels like you don't care
I now realize
That now your not there
It hurts when you act 
Like you no longer care
When you talk with your friends
And pretend i'm not there
Now when i look at my life
It just doesn't seem fair
Because i remember the day
You said you'd always be there

God

I felt there was no one to talk to
Until to you I prayed
And then life seemed so different
So in my heart you stayed
I felt my life was empty
Until i let you in
I felt guilty and unhappy
Until you forgave my sin
I feel like a new person
A way i've never felf before
I was so glad that i didn't wait
So glad i chose to open this door
I feel like part of me is missing
Whenever i turn away
But now i've made my mind up
That its with you i want to stay

For You

why do i fall away
so easily and fast
why can't you stop me
from reliving my past
i'm trying so hard
but i just can't see why
other people can so it
and they don't even try
God i want you in me
as a part of my life
i need you in me heart
to help me survive
why does it seem so hard
to abide by your word
why can't i just commit
and let your voice be heard
why do i choose not to listen
when things don't go my way
why do i easily give in
when things don't go my way
God why can't you help me
keep me from falling away
and let my love shine for you
throught the things that i say
lord thats all that i want
almost anything i'd give
just so i can prove to you
its for you i want to live

Lost Love

On the fifteenth of may
Was the day that they met
It was truly a day
They'd both never forget
They were made for eachother
They'd never fall apart
They loved eachother to much
To break the others heart
A whole year went by
Oce more the fifteenth of may
They walked hand in hand together 
As they celebrated the day
They ended up under a tree
And carved in it this special date
They talked about their lives together 
And how they couldn't wait
They became so much in love
It was plain and easy to see
And every single fifteenth of may
They'd meet eachother under their tree
One cold day he came to her
And he handed her his coat
He told her to look in the pocket
And there she'd find a note
He said, "wait until i leave,
Then read what i have to say"
With a tearstained face he walked back home
And prayed that they'd both be okay
It said, i moving really far away
You'll always be in my heart
I think its best were not together
Since we'll be so far apart
Somehow, someway, we'll meet again
Each year you still love me, go to our tree
Someday you just might find me there
Her heart was broke but she didn't give up
They hadn't talked in seven years
Each of those years she went to their tree
And alone she sat holding back all the tears
She was about ready to move on
Then came along another fifteenth of may
For the very last time, she went to the tree
Hoping today might be that day
She hardly slept the night before
She fell asleep under the trees
She looked up and saw him standing there
Then realized it was only a dream
She heard some noises from behind
And she quickly turned around
Not expecting to see anything
In disbelief, true love she found
She smiled and ran up to him
Tears welled up in her eyes
As she thought about her new life
That was beginning to arise
She said, "I can't believe your back,
I thought that you'd forget"
He said, "Don't you know i've loved you, 
Since the first day that we met"
He said,"I thought that you'd find someone else,
And leave you and me behind"
He said," the thought of being with anyone else,
Never even crossed my mind"
"I  came back to once more be with you,
Its hard to believe, i know,
All i had to do was follow my heart
And it showed me where to go
I kept my promise all these years
Only to you i stayed true
And after all the pain and all the tears
My heart still belongs to you

Broken Hearted

I'm so hurt inside
I cry every night
My life feels so empty
it just doesn't feel right
I've always wondered
what i would do without you
How different life would be
And what i would do
But now that i know
I with these feelings were gone
because now life's not right
Its all going so wrong
The way you made me feel
no one ever has before
I loved it while it lasted
But I don't anymore
I never thought this would happen
That you would make me feel this way
i really thought you'd be the one
with whom i'd share that special day
You used to make me so happy
But now my life has fallen apart
And its all because of just one person
You...because you broke my heart

Just One

Just one little smile
Can brighten a day
Can make life seem worthwhile
It can wash tears away
Just three little words 
Can change your whole life
They can make you feel special 
Erase feelings of strife
Just one little hug
Can go a long way
It can start a new friendship
It can drive tears away
Just one little note
That says "hey how are you"
Can help some realize
That their cared for too
Just one little choice
Can be tough to make
All it takes is one voice
For anothers own sake
Just one other friend
Can help keep you alive
When you feel life's not worth it
They can help you survive
So why not give a smile
Say a little kind word
It can't hurt you that bad
But it can change womeone's world
