RAIN IN MY EYES
You and I and the rain in my eyes …
The peace in your soul
eases the pain in mine.
The gain in my pool of memories
when I think of you,
and the moments we’ve shared.
Life is too short to keep my thoughts
hidden from someone I care for.
I wipe the rain from my face,
and feel the joy we’ve embraced.
Together in those moments we shared,
It’s only been a day and I miss you much,
and think of you even more.
Thank you much for that smile
I found within me…
Because of you… the rain is gone.
WHISPERS
Whisper a whisper that sounds so soft.
Whisper me a sound of love.
Whisper oh so softly a sound of love.
Whisper to me the sound of a sweet morning dove.
REFLECTIONS
I see my reflection every time
I stand in front of you.
You're a piece of glass
placed upon the wall.
You are here for one reason,
and one reason only;
to reflect the image of anyone
that stands in front of you.
I am here to only reflect who I am.
To make life easy one can always
follow the path of others.
I choose to build my own road.
I choose to make it out of what I am.
This road shall be my road…
for me to follow,
and anyone else who chooses.
SMILE, SOMEONE LOVES YOU
A smile is a thought.
A smile is you.
A smile is when you look at me.
There are ways,
and there are days,
a smile will stay as long as you wish.
A smile can be a happy face.
A smile could be a sad one too.
There are smiles,
and there are tears.
There are wishes,
and there are dreams.
A smile is real and very nice.
Wear a smile and be the person you are.
A smile is happy... are you...?
MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU
I’d like to share my thoughts with you.
I’d like to hold you all night long,
and be with you until the dawn.
Walk with you on a riverbed.
Telling each other all we’ve done
since we last parted.
Me… in your arms again.
I sometimes toss and turn at night
when you’re not here.
My soul becomes illuminated
whenever you’re near.
To have you in my arms…
tears of happiness overwhelm the scene;
it’s like creating a tiny puddle of joy that
feels like an ocean of love.
When we touch you bring out my emotions
of unlimited possibilities.
Just as I open my heart to you,
I want to give you all that I am.
Knowing that we shall soon touch,
together I share my thoughts with you.
HER HEART
I remember her well.
All of those times she helped me
when I needed a hand.
No one had ever comforted me
in the way she did with her love.
She seemed to always be there.
She seemed to always care.
When I think of her now
I feel as though it was only yesterday
