"Change"

Change--
Is a friend of the future
But an enemy of the past.

Change--
Has the power
To affect everything that lasts.

Change--
Is a process
That's supposed to help us grow.


Change--
Challenges
Everything that we know.

"Love"

Love--
Love one another.
Love--
Give to each other.

Love--
And show that we care.
Love--
Is better when we share.

Love--
Makes a beautiful connection.
Love--
Keeps us from defining perfection.

Love--
Makes us grow.
Love--
Makes us strong when we feel low.

Love--
Will unite us all.
Love--
Picks us up after we fall.

Love--
Is for us to feel.
Love--
Makes everything feel real.

"Write From the Heart"

Write from the heart--

Of the love that's inside.

Write from the heart--

Of the pain that I hide.

Write from the heart--

Because it's where love starts.

Write from the heart--

Because it's my art.

Write from the heart--

Even though it aches.

Write from the heart--

Even though it breaks.

Write from the heart--

Because it's what I feel.

Write from the heart--

Because I know it's real.

Write from the heart--

To pick up the pieces.

Write from the heart--

Of a love that never ceases.

Write from the heart--

As I try to heal.
Write from the heart--
Because it's in God's will.

"The Sun Will Shine"

The sun will shine--

And everything will be fine.

The sun will shine--

And I'll have what's mine.

The sun will shine--

All things fall in line.

The sun will shine--

All things will align.

The sun will shine--

A rise in the bloodline.

The sun will shine--

On top of a goldmine.

The sun will shine--

Just wait for the sign.

The sun will shine--

Across the state line.

I believe--
That everything happens for a reason.

That everyone has their season.

I believe--
That dreams come true.
I believe--
In love with all I do.

That the sun will shine.
I believe--
That I'll be fine.

Things take their time.
I believe--
In a poem and a rhyme.

That happiness should be shared.
I believe--
That the world does care.

I believe--
Even when the road gets rough.
I believe--
Even when things get tough.

I believe--
He is by my side.
I believe--
That He is my guide.

"Looking For A Light"

Looking for a light--
To shine on me.
Looking for a light--
Of how things should be.

Looking for a light--
To guide the way.
Looking for a light--
Today and everyday.

Looking for a light--
To calm my mind.
Looking for a light--
One that I can find.

Looking for a light--
To ease the pain.
Looking for a light--
To keep me sane.

Looking for a light--
To calm my nerves.
Looking for a light--
That I deserve.

Looking for a light--
As I reflect.
Looking for light--
On the things, I neglect.

Looking for a light--
That keeps the peace.
Looking for a light--
That never cease.

In my heart--
All I want to do is show some love.

In my heart--
Just thinking of different ways to cope.

In my heart--
I hope I write to inspire.

I want to be someone you adore.

In my heart--
There's a sea filled with passion.
In my heart--
There's a chance to style in fashion.



In my heart--
Hope is all I have left in me.
In my heart--
I don't have to be someone I pretend to be.

In my heart--
With Him I can do all things.
In my heart--
I know I can get through whatever life brings.

"Carry On"

Carry On--
Even though you're falling apart.
Carry On--
Even though you've lost your heart.

Carry On--
And continue to be on your way.
Carry On--
Forward, while you continue to pray.

Carry On--
And show the world your light.
Carry On--
And continue to give a good fight.

Carry On--
And let no one bring you down.
Carry On--
Even though there's no one around.

Carry On--
And push as hard as you can.
Carry On--
And keep going as God planned.

Wait a minute--

Think before you do this.

Just give it some time.

"Suppose I Wrote A Poem"

Suppose I wrote a poem--
Based on fact and fiction.
And tried to sound it out--
With the perfect diction.

Suppose I wrote a poem--
Based on a truth and a lie.
Would you want to read it?
If so, tell me why.

Suppose I wrote a poem--
And based it on heartbreak.
Would you open your heart up?
Or write it off as a mistake?

Suppose I wrote a poem--
Based off a story.
Would you want to read it?
Because this is starting to bore me.

Suppose I wrote a poem--
Based on a fairy tale.
Would you even read it?
Would it even sell?

Suppose I wrote a poem--
Just to write.
Because it's therapeutic in a way--
And it makes things all right.

"Summer Dreams"

I dream of the summer--

Where things bloom.

Flowers placed out everywhere--

In a beautiful room.

I dream of summer--

Summer is a dream come true.

Summer's sweet rays--

Coming down on you.

I dream of summer--

With the sun in the sky.

I dream of summer--

Man, how the time goes by.

I dream of summer--

Through and through.

Summer's sweet rays--

Shinning down on you.

I dream of summer--

Not a care in the world.

Dream catchers in the sky--

As a carefree girl.

I dream of summer--

Color and all.

I dream of summer--

Whenever I fall.

I dream of summer--
Spending days at the beach.
Chasing waves and the ocean--
Within my reach.

I dream of summer--
With my feet in the sand.
Praying the rest to be given--
In God's hand.

"I Have Pain Too"

So you like to see me in pain--
That sounds pleasing to your ears.
You like to read my pain--
I see that's what you want to hear.

Well, I have pain too--
So much that it aches.
I have pain too--
So much it makes me break.

I have pain too--
And it stretches very long.
I have pain too--
But I try to stay strong.

I have pain too--
So, I guess I'll have to wait.
I have pain too--
That keeps me up real late.

I have pain too--
That leaves me up in knots.
I have pain too--
But I guess it something you forgot.

I have pain too--
And I know it very well.
I have pain too--
So much as you can tell.

But I'd rather tell you--
That it will be okay.
I'd much rather tell you--
To take it day by day.

"She Is Clothed in Strength and Dignity"

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And walks with delicate grace.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

With a modest face.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And speaks in a beautiful tone.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

Standing strong and fully grown.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And speaks with charm and heirs.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

With beautiful, long hair.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And she has a heart full of love.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

The kind of strength from up above.

"No Star in the Sky"

No star in the sky--
Not in the one that I see.
No star in the sky--
That I see for me.

No star in the sky--
And I've looked twice.
No star in the sky--
But the sky looks nice.

No star in the sky--
But I can feel the breeze.
No star in the sky--
But I can try to believe.


No star in the sky--
A sky made for she.
No star in the sky--
But she dreamed that there'll be.

"And So, She Dreams"

And so, she dreams--

She dreams so big that it's the only thing she can see.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams in color, exactly how she wants things to be.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams of love and hope everywhere.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams that peace will fill the air.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams a better world for everyone.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams alone, not with anyone.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams so big that it's hard to reach.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams in poetry and it's part of her speech.

And so, she dreams--

She dreams in rainbows and in pink

And so, she dreams--

She dreams in a way that it's hard to think.
