Maturity

As I sit by the window and look out towards the sun,
A half of me says stay, while the other half says run.

I know it's part of life, to grow older with each day,
but the older that I get, the more I want to run away.

All the stress and hard decisions that I'm left to ponder,
only makes me crazier, as now I'm left to wander.

Like a never ending clock, the days and nights will pass,
so I'll hold on to my memories, for only they will last.

And I can use them anytime, to make me laugh or smile,
or just to sort of drift away, and daydream for a while.

Although life seems so hard, I thank the Lord each night,
for blessing me with all the things He's put here in my life. 

So as I grow in my time of youth, I tell myself one thing,
Never regret ,or you'll lose out, on the  things that life may bring.

The Father I Never Had

When I'm alone I wonder why you didn't fight for me
You get more credit for being a dad that you deserve to be
All the times you gave your word and left me standing in the rain
All the promises you broke and left my heart with pain
Even as a little child I never could understand
How you could ignore me all the time and still call yourself a man
All the times you said I love you and never backed it up
All the love you never showed and all your lack there of
I only wanted you to care, I longed for your attention
All the mistakes and problems you caused, I won't waste time to mention
I wanted you to be there for me, though you never were
So how can you still say you miss me, you've really got some nerve
Others made of for the loss of you, but it's never been the same
I now have the only man I need, I hate to even speak your name
I have someone else who makes me feel good, it will never be my dad
I just wish you would have been the father I never had

Diamonds

Oh precious diamond, you shine so bright 

You're like a star, how you light up the night

So many want you, my dazzling jewel

For your heart is of warmth, yet you stay so cool

You're held in each person, but seldomly seen

But when you are found, there's a joy which you bring

You're priceless, soft diamond, which means you are rare

Not many will find you, though many will care

You glow like a candle, but strong, like a fire

Your river of veins flow from dreams and desire

Your crystal clear shell holds your beauty inside

But maybe one day you will no londer hide

If only we'd look in the depth of our soul

And find our diamond in our pot of gold

For our heart holds the key to the chamber of love

And my diamond, sweet diamond, you were sent from above

Love

You cannot feel it, 
yet you know it's there,

It's thicker than water,
but thinner than air.

No sense of feeling,
yet it hurts so much,

It has no color,
it has no touch.

You sense it's there
but you cannot feel.

You cannot see it,
but you know it's real.

Each time you kiss,
it floats around.

Totally invisible
and without a single sound.

Like God, you cannot see it,
but you still know it's there,

it's thicker than water,
but thinner than air.

Fantasy Land

As I opened my eyes, I saw the sun shinging bright
I opened the silk curtains and I stood in the light
I reached outside and grabbed a cloud, then rode it to the sky
I took the waterfall back down, then I began to fly
On eagle's wings, I traveled light, like feathers in the wind
I fell into a chocolate lake, and swam with chocoalate dolphins
The crystal chore was made of snow as I approached the bank
Twas the city of Atlantis, which I thought the ocean drank
I crossed the tattered bridge of gold, onto the other side
As a cricket then approached, "Let your conscience be your guide."
Somehow I knew just where to go, my eyes led me the way
Onto a giant golden ship, with sails as bright as day
We slid across the city, as it was made from ice
I layed back in my swinging hammock, thinking,"this is nice."
Just then a fairy flew to me, announced, "Now all ashore."
So I got up and walked around, and through the golden door
I floated down the diamond ramp, onto the leafy stairs
Then climbed the treehouse branches, along with the three bears
I ate some pourage then said goodbye, and rode a star back to the sky
I tell you friend this is no lie, it happened just this very night
And if you don't believe it's true, imagination is my gift to you

A Friendly Reminder

One could say what's once was then
But I can say what's now are friends
And if they stand the test of time
I'd say to this day that they are mine
Some may come and some may go
But this, my friend, I hope you know
I'll be there through thick and thin
And you, my love, are my best friend

Deep Dream

Deep into the darkness, you whisper softly in my ear

The way you hold my tightly, you take away my fear

We were meant to be together, that's the way it seems

You're the one I want to hold when I lay down to dream

Nothing in the whole world could ever change my mind

So people must be wrong, when they tell me love is blind

My eyes are open to the world around me

But even when my eyes are closed tight, you're the one I see

No kiss can compare to yours, No love could ever be the same

You make my love grow stronger each time you speak my name

You've made my life a palace, a shadow of Heaven's bliss

And nothing makes my heart beat stronger, than every time we kiss

More Than a Flower

'Tis only a flower
Soft Petals of Gold
There's no special power
In this flower I hold 
It came from the ground
There was no special seed
On this flower I found
That grew up from a weed
There are ivy green leaves
On it's long narrow stem
The pointy thorns weave
Round it like mountains
A family of ants
Made their home in the ground
Where the rain comes to dance
Round the flower I found
To you it's a flower
And nothing much else
To the ants it's a tower 
Of beauty and wealth
So 'tis may be a seed
Which grew a long stem
Where the most beautiful weed
A flower, has hemmed

One Breath

Each time we kiss I get this feeling I've never felt before
I breathe into you and you breathe into me as we share a summer's gaze
The light shines again and you're standing there
I look at you as I've never seen you before
I fall deep into your eyes with every look
With every touch I feel an angel's wing across my skin
The days are warmer, the rain is softer
As we hold tight to one another
I never want to let you go
One tear falls and you're there to wipe it clean
Your warm skin against mine is all I feel
When we breathe as one we're oblivious to the world
We have our own little place that's ours alone
You can hear the waterfall in the distance
Water trickles down the stream of love
And yet this whole place is our secret
If only one breath I had to take to keep our love so safe
I'd breathe one last time to see your face
and feel your skin in mine
Softer than a midnight's dream
Into the day we go astray
To be in our place is the very best way
To wash the world's pain away
When I'm with you I feel no worries
No stress is there to hold me down
If only we breathe as one...

Temptations

Sometimes you wanna do things
You know they just aren't right
You never know the outcome
But you still give it a try
You sit and think about it
And still it seems okay
In the long run you decide
Sometimes your life needs change
Day by day it's always the same
Pressure making you do wrong
Others always on a trip
You just choose to go along
But someday you will change your life 
And choose what's right to do
But until that day does come
Help others follow you
