Paths

Our paths still cross from time to time

I guess they always will

The hardest part in all of this

you know, I love you still...

I see your posts from time to time

can't help but read a few

But right before I try to post

I turn and close the view...

I hope you'll always stay the same

and all your dreams come true

Find everything your heart desires

success, in all you do...

Giving Thanks

Lord, I wake to pray again

and raise my thoughts to you

Giving thanks for all you've done

and what you soon will do...

Make my heart Your dwelling place

my mouth, your voice to speak

Help me Lord to follow you

your will, to always seek...

Heartstrings

Even after all these years

I still remember you

I've thought of you a thousand times

and where you've traveled to...

Sometimes I see you in a crowd

but then you disappear

I search the faces frantically

in hopes you'll reappear...

Alas, a phantom everytime

the heartstrings pull again

why does my heart still long for you

my sweet and lovely friend...

The Shadow

From time to time she reappears

and dances once again

The shadow hidden deep inside

once captivated men...

From time to time a memory

a glimpse from long ago

Sometimes at night within her dreams

her teenage face aglow...

From time to time she still pretends

the music starts to play

Her lips begin to sing the words

she once sang every day...

How I Miss You

A moment caught in black and white

the color's still not gone

Oh how I miss you every day

the memories don't move on...

Here With Me

A walk along the shore tonight

the breeze upon my face

Sounds of water brush the shore

a peace I so embrace...

A light from heaven shines above

and points me out to sea

The thoughts that flood my mind right now

that you were here with me...

Soar

Close your eyes and drift away

allow your self to fly

Leave your troubles far behind

and soar into the sky...

Loose the bonds that hold me tight

and go where you will thrive

Learn to live and laugh again

and shout that you're alive...
