Just Smile

Do you know what makes me smile

could it be a real good rib poke

or maybe it's a prank

or a really funny joke

could it be someone falling

down flat on their face

could it be someone tripping

could this be the case

On the nicer side of things

a smile could be brought on

by seeing the sun rise

or smelling a fresh cut lawn

a flower now and then

could be what makes me smile

or maybe it takes more than that

like roses y the pile

You know how I love music

it is very satisfying

it's how I sho emotion

about this I am not lying

are you still wondering

what it could possibly be

like maybe a sweet note

from all of you to me

Please don't get me wrong

all these things are fine

and if I am really honest

all the nice things I would call mine

but these things are not even close

to the one thing that makes me happy

the only thing that I have chose

It's when you walk into my room

or we drive our favorite mile

you don't even have to say a word

all you have to do is

Smile

My Heart Is Free

I still can't figure it out

Why did YOU choose me

I just don't think I'm good enough

But at least my heart is free



The happiness that I've found

Is completely overwhelming

It makes me smile day and night

A sweet song I am singing



I've been dependent on

My friends, fam'ly, and me

But now I know the ONE

Yes, clearly now, I see



To rely on others instead of YOU

My soul, it will only break

Remind me to look towards YOUR light

Instead of everyone else, for my sake



By not wondering what others think

YOU make me feel secure

YOU keep me balanced in my life

For this I am for sure



That without YOU, I am nothing

YOU made me what I am today

So please watch over me, guide my steps

In every single way

How Do You Make Me Feel

How do you make me feel?

I'm not sure I can explain

I wake up in the morning,

All I can do is think of your name

Again, I don't know why

It brings a smile to my face

But I do know when it happens

My heart begins to race

People are begging to notice this joy and peace I've found

They're wondering what has happened

To make me sing this resilient sound

Someone asked me what has happened

That has made such a drastic change

I tell them of the love I've found

And how my hatred is no longer in range

I sit down to take a break and again I think of you

My heart begins to leap. I thank God 'cause that's all I can do

With an extra bounce in my step, I stop and think of my past

I wish that everyone had you, maybe they'd be happy at last

As I begin to realize, because of you i am not the same

All I have to do is think about it, how to earth for me you came

I lay my head down not like before, where I was afraid to fall asleep

Because of all the bad dreams, inside my head, I thought I must keep

Now, as I doze off, I think, i love this new state of mind

My eyes shut. All good dreams tonight because, in there, you, I will find

Someone asked me what has happened that has made such a drastic change

I tell them of the love I've found and how my life has been rearranged

I Think I'll Wear Pink

I am headed home after a long, hard day

The weekend is over, no time to play

I can only think of my music and how

It feeds me inspiration and explains to me...Now

I would sing till the end of my days if I could

Of how you can touch lives and change like you should

It keeps playing over and over in my head

The tune never stops, not even for bed

I wake up and what is the first thing I hear

My heart beating with joy, it brings a tear

To my cheek it will roll as I smile and think

Will this end? I hope not. I think I'll wear pink

I feel like a little girl, a gift I was given

With a smile on my face, my eyes toward the heavens

The words won't stop flooding my soul and my heart

It's like i've been given life with a fresh start

How do I explain these emotions I feel inside

By putting it to music with words I can't hide

How things have changed, it's all I think about

From the mountain top, I will continue to shout

I want no regrets, So I'll keep carrying on

Down this great path, but no longer a con

I want to be truthful, this change I will tell

My new-found peace I'll ring out like a bell

When Sketching, Use Pencil

How do you sketch out how your life will be

You can start with an outline; don't just wait and see

To add more to this sketch, be sure to you a pencil

Or at least washable ink and don't use a stencil

Otherwise you'd be just like all the other fools

Who take out their permanent markers and tools

They're rendering themselves helpless

Life is guaranteed to change

For better or worse, it will rearrange

So just when you think your drawing is ready

To add the deep shading; you think life is steady

And all the watercolor paints you want to use to add spice

Always hoping for things to come out so very nice

No finishing touches will you be able to add

The smiles, the good times don't always outweigh the bad

On the opposite end of the spectrum you'll find

The change is good and you won't really mind

The outline you sketched at the beginning of time

The one you believed had reason and rhyme

Needed an eraser to make it have good sense

It needed to be bigger; it needed more resonance

They say that some things can be larger than life

What could be larger than life without strife

My Blog Theme Song By ME

Imagine if you were a melody

What tune would people hear?

Would you be one of inspiration

Or one others would fear?

Our melody is heard by everyone

To all who harmonize

It's there to guide the way

And help others recognize

The tune inside of them

The story their life tells

Is there to be heard

It's there to compel

Imagine if you were a melody

Would you be one of hope?

Would you be the one they'd listen to?

The one to help them cope?

Your melody should tell your story

About who you are today

It should tell of what you've been through

And what caused you to breakaway

Breakaway from the mold

And become a lasting tune

An unforgettable classic
Like "Fly Me To The Moon"

Stop and listen to the music.

Music can be looked at

In so many ways

It can move our hearts

And it can get us through the days

It can speak of love and life

And bring a smile to our face

Or it can tell of loss or sadness

And how we feel so out of place

Stop. and listen to the music

And see how much it is alive

Your spirit it will lift

And your soul it will revive
