You'Re My Man

You're my man, my mighty king,
And I'm the jewel in your crown,
You're the sun so hot and bright,
I'm your light-rays shining down,

You're the sky so vast and blue,
And I'm the white clouds in your chest,
I'm a river clean and pure,
Who in your ocean finds her rest,

You're the mountain huge and high,
I'm the valley green and wide,
You're the body firm and strong,
And I'm a rib bone on your side,

You're an eagle flying high,
I'm your feathers light and brown,
You're my man, my king of kings,
And I'm the jewel in your crown

Don'T Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're running seems all up hill,
When the funda are low and the debts are high, 
And you want to smile but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit 
Rest if you must but don't you quit!

Life is strange with it's twist and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about 
When you might have won but ypu struck out.
So don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

See succees is failure turned inside out.
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never see how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
Because it's when things seem wrong that YOU MUST NOT QUIT!

Life Just Isn'T

Life isn about keeping score of right and wrong.
It’s not about how many people you call.
And its not about  who you’ev dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all.
It isn’t about who you’ve kissed, who you’ve hasd sex with , which boy or girl likes 
you or who played you or  who you’ve played.
It isn’t about the color of your skin ,or the color of the skin you date.
It’s not about your shoes clothes, hair, money, or colleges that accept or 
unaccepted you are.
Life just isn’t about that !

But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It’s about how you feel about yourself.
Its about trust, happiness, and compassion.
It’s about sticken up for ya friends, and replacing inner hate with love.
Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence.
Its about choosing to use your life to touch someoneelse’s in a way that could 
never have been achieved otherwise.
THE CHOICES ARE WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT!

Desire For Honey Bun

Just the sight of you,
Out of the corner of my eye, 
Makes my mouth unbelievably watery. 
The way you look back at me,
as a gaze at you,
gives me unbelievable chills. 
Chills that provide my imagination with all types of thrills.
Thrills Just awaiting me, awaiting the passionate love we share 
With just that simple kiss, touch, and  a smile 
that once one takes that transpiring bite.
Under the dim light, I can see the faint outline of every curve, 
That sweetly outlines your shape that continually keep my eyes in awe so that 
I can’t draw my eyes from your Light brown complexion. 
Then slowly you persuade me to help you,
Help you take off your sheer layering slowly and carefully. 
As I assist in the games that, this beauty has possessed me to play, 
I begin to become consumed with the most pleasant and mind easing scent, 
The scent of sweet glaze and butter and light cinnamon that drives me wild, 
However I regain control and realize the work at hand, 
Finally once I have you naked and revealed to my eyes, 
I begin to take you into my mouth and take in that wonderful, 
Mind blowing sweetness that takes me under every single time
I get the opportunity to place you in my mouth.
And I will wait till next time, until I see you out the corner of my eye, 
And invite me to come take all of you into my sense to enjoy that sweetness, 
That you always have to offer me and that only you can provide 
That I always desire to have.
 Oh how I love my honey bun.

Lay Down and Die

My love for you, 
Is so strong & true. 
I send you my love, 
By using a white dove. 
Although you are far away, 
On my mind is where you stay. 
I can't live with the pain, 
Of never seeing you again. 
I've heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder, 
Thats one thing that makes my love for you grow stronger. 
My feelings for you have never been so strong, 
Baby, nothing can go wrong. 
But if your love for me said goodbye, 
It would make me want to lay down & die.

Sorrows Underneath

I think of all my problems.
I think of all my pains.
I think of all my sorrows
Until I go insane.

I think of all the smiles I’ve worn
Which hides my sorrow underneath 
No one seems to notice.
That I go through so much grief.

My tears seem to keep flowing
Inside my tired eyes.
Each time I want to tell you
But, my words come out as lies.

These days I’m felling distant,
Faraway and weak.
My sadness pulls me further,
From the happiness I seek.

I’ve just begun to realize, 
That my hopes and dreams are gone,
I’m walking down a dead-end-road
Humming a tuneless song.

I’m standing on a rooftop, although I’m afraid of heights.
I’m watching the cars underneath me move,
And somehow this doesn’t feel right.

Now I think of what I’m doing
I know I could find a way 
To beat through my depression 
And start living a brighter day.

It's Tough

It's tough to be a teenager no one really knows 
What the pressure is like at school so this is how it goes.
I wake up every morning and stare into this face 
I want to be good looking but i feel like a disgrace.
My friends they seem to like me if i follow through with their dare.
But when i try to be myself they never seem to care.
My mom, well she keeps telling me i got to make the grade 
While both my parents say they love me it slowly seems to fade.
It seems like everyone i NOW is trying to be so cool 
And every time i try i end up just a fool.
Maybe if i could make the team I'll stand out in the crowd.
If they see how hard i try i know they would be proud.
Sometimes i really get so low i want to cash it in 
My problems are really bad if i think back on how life has been.
At times i'm lost and wonder what to do 
I wonder where could i go, who can i talk to 
It's tough to be a teenager sometimes life's not fare
i just wish i had somewhere to go and someone to really CARE!

Wise Friend

Having you as my friend 
I learned that there are those, 
few who believe a friend 
is cherished, not mocked or set aside 
for any reason. 
Having you as my friend 
has lifted my spirits, made my days brighter, allowing me to be me 
you encouraged me to not just 
accept each day as it comes, but 
to make each day count. 
Having you as my friend 
opened my heart to achievement 
take a stand for myself because 
no one else will, to expect the 
unexpected. 
Having you as my friend 
has me not lonely, but missing you 
greatly now that I can't visit 
you as much as I'd like. 
Having you as my friend 
has been, will always be forever 
kept close in heart and on my 
mind. 
Having you as my friend 
is what I wanted, and yet not expected, 
Leaving others jealous. 
Having you as my friend 
and I as your friend is a 
friend that is, 
PRECIOUS.

Ready For Love

Take my hand and lead the way;
tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
all those things I want to hear.
Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you're nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it's time for me to watch it fall.
I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you'll find I won't put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within . . .
I'm ready now, let love begin.

I Love You a Lot

I know it sounds funny
But it's coming from my heart

When you talk to me 
my heart skips a beat
there is something about you i like
But I don't think other people can see what i see in you
i love you for you
and nothing more
When i'm around you
i'm always smiling or laughing bout something
if I ever loose you again 
i will have to kill myself and that's a fact
my friends say you're cheating on me
is it true?
Can you swear on both mine and your life that you will never cheat on me?
if you love me as much as you say you do then you will
i will alwayz love you
and i will never change you
but please don't tell me
that i carved your initials in my ankle for nothing..
