"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.

"In My Heart"

In my heart--
All I want to do is show some love.
In my heart--
I just want to give thanks to God above.

In my heart--
It sings a song of hope.
In my heart--
Just thinking of different ways to cope.

In my heart--
I hope I write to inspire.
In my heart--
I just want to be someone to admire.

In my heart--
I know that there's so much more.
In my heart--
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"

Wait a minute--

Think before you do this.

Wait a minute--

You're surely someone I would miss.

Wait a minute--

I know the days are getting tough.

Wait a minute--

I know that things are getting rough.

Wait a minute--

Just give it some time.

Wait a minute--

You'll see you're going to be just fine.

Wait a minute--

There's something out there for you.

Wait a minute--

There's something you can do.

Wait a minute--

Just have patience please.

Wait a minute--

As I say a prayer on my knees.

Wait a minute--

You can do it, just hold on to hope.

Wait a minute--

As I find out ways for us to cope.

Wait a minute--

You'll be okay.

Wait a minute--

You'll have your day!

"A Candle That Burns..."

A candle that burns--
And turns into a light.
A candle that burns--
And makes day out of night.

A candle that burns--
And spreads itself thin.
A candle that burns--
And pushes to the end.

A candle that burns--
So, that others can shine.
A candle that burns--
And I guess it's mine.

A candle that burns--
Waiting for its turn.
A candle that burns--
As others watch it live and learn.

A candle that burns--
And flickers like a flame.
A candle that burns--
And it has my name.

"A Light That Cares"

A light that cares--
When no one's there.
A light that shines--
And not just mine.

A light that hopes--
And that helps others cope.
A light that's bold--
And never gets old.

A light that extends--
From beginning to end.
A light that burns with fire--
And one that won't expire.

A light that defends--
And never pretends.
The light of a heart--
That's surrounded by art!

"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.

"Wherever Your Heart Takes You..."

Wherever your heart takes you--
I hope it's filled with laughter and love.
Wherever your heart takes you--
I hope it's filled with the Spirit from up above.

Wherever your heart takes you--
I hope it's filled with joy and grace.
Wherever your heart takes you--
I hope it's the most wondrous, beautiful place!
