State of Mind

We start out this life all the same-
Looking for happiness while playing life’s game;

We search for another to help us get through-
For we think that’s the easiest thing to do;

We hope that someone else will make us feel whole-
But then what happens if they decide to go;

Do you turn to someone else or try something new?-
Where else can you look? What else can you do;

You can have another drink or pop another pill-
But that kind of happiness just isn’t real;

To life you feel like you don’t belong-
And you wonder to yourself where you went wrong;

Then, you look in the mirror and what do you see?-
A glimpse of yourself saying, “Look inside me”;

For happiness is purely a state of mind-
Something you must look inside to find…

Don'T Cry For Me

Don’t Cry For Me

Don’t cry for me when I am gone, for let me tell you this-
The place in which I now reside is utter and total bliss;

It’s a place that matches perfectly with your grandest hopes and dreams-
And, your every thought creates itself, or at least that’s how it seems;

Then, when my thoughts turn to you it’s with you that I reside-
And when your thoughts turn to me I’ll be right by your side;

It’s funny how all the things I’ve wondered about now all seem quite clear-
Our bodies die, but our souls live on in a place which knows no fear…

What Will Be

What Will Be

Life is fragile, of this I am sure-
So many lessons to learn and trials to endure;

Then, just when you think you’ve got things figured out-
You’re bombarded with uncertainty, fears and doubt;

I’ve often wondered when this cycle will end-
But, am quickly reminded by my very special “Friend”’

That there will always be lessons that need to be learned-
Fears to confront and trials which leave us concerned;

“Things happen for a reason” so people say-
And, hopefully, that reason will become clear one day;

But until then I’ll try to accept what will be-
For all these things play a part in how I became Me…
