Imagine You Were A Little Girl Again

You know we all do it from the time we're little girls

Our hair done up in curls

In our dresses we do twirls

We stop to take a look in the mirror

What do we see, who's standing there

In our bedrooms with a pair of mommy's heels

One day they will fit me, how pretty we all feel

Then we grow up, words thrown our way

You are not pretty, you're a mess they say

We believe every phrase, we give up on the dream

No one cares what I do at least that's how it seems

We forget someone is watching every move we make

The labels I've accepted to be true are fake

Am I who I thought I would be by now

How far have I gone, what will I allow

Sounds like my voice is about to run out

Must I talk and talk or should I shout

What will get my attention, Will I eventually break

All these questions I have with so much at stake

As the sun lays down on the side of the earth

The days getting shorter, my life needs rebirth

Forgive and forget is the only way out

Yes, there are scars but that's what life is about

Don't get caught up in your past, there is so much to come

You know life's not up until our work here is done

Life's not just about the cover of your book

Who do you see when you stop... and really look

The Greatest Wish Of All

I look up into the sky at night

And I see all the stars glowing

They really are a beautiful sight

It's almost as if they're smiling

Just as I turn to walk away

I see it piercing through the sky

Forever it made me want to stay with you

It made me want to fly

To wish upon a shooting star

To my knees it made me fall

For real, true love is by far

The greatest, the greatest wish of all

I truly think that love and stars

Are on in the same

For when I fell in love with you

The stars my eyes became

My heart skipped a couple of beats

Just like the stars skip by the moon

The wish I made for this love completes us

Together, we'll be soon

The miracle of a shooting star is beyond my understanding

But this love I have for you is by far the answer

To the greatest the greatest wish of all.

The answer to the greatest wish of all

E.E. Cummings

I found this poem. Though you may have already heard this,

I had never. Even though it is not one of mine,

it is just something that really spoke to me!

i carry your heart with me

(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it

(anywhere i go you go, my dear;

and whatever is done by only me

is your doing, my darling)

i fear

no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)

i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Completely Random

So this has nothing to do with music or poetry, but i found it today and decided I want to share it with all of you!


I went to a class of a friends about 2 months ago, and actually decided to do the assignments given to her students. It was challenging, and an eye opener as to what my brain thinks about. I truly believe that by sitting in that class, I realized what "I think" other people think of me. Even if it's not true, I believe other Christians might feel the same way. So here is it. She started the class by telling us part of a story and proceeded to tell us we have 5 minutes to finish this story. Here is what I came up with...

As I walked the streets of downtown Gotham city, I thought about the various things I needed to get done that day. I stopped on a corner waiting for my turn to cross, when suddenly a silver haired woman stood in front of me. She held out a brown, paper bag. Her eyes seemed to pierce my own. She waited for me to take the bag, but said nothing. Before I could say a word, she was gone. I looked through the thick crowd of people, but she had vanished.

I stood there, thoughts flooding my mind.

What could possibly be in this bag?

Could it be that this woman has discovered who I am?

Does she know my secret identity?

If yes, does she think she can use it against me?

Maybe hold it over my head?

Will she reveal it to anyone else?


How will I react to the contents in this bag?

Should I open it here or wait until I get home?

There are so many people around. If I pull the items out here, it might reveal to everyone watching who I really am...


I know...I'll wait until I can get away from the crowd, maybe go around the corner into the dark alley where no one can see.


So there would be no suspicions, I slowly walked around the corner, even though everything inside of me wanted to run.

I stepped off the main street.

I stopped.

Nervously, I unrolled the brown bag and opened the top.

Still thoughts of what it would be were flying through my head!


It was dark, so before I could see what it was, an aroma of freshly baked cookies floated up to my nose.


Oh my word, cookies! Seriously... that's it?


I really need to stop being so paranoid.


I wonder if anyone will ever know who I really am?

Rest In Him

You think no one's there

As you look in the mirror

And you wonder if anyone can see

That behind your smile

There's a war inside you

And it won't let your heart believe

There's someone that needs you

That loves you and sees you

For the beautiful soul that you are

He'll lift you up on the day

You can't even stand

He knows life is hard but He'll

Still hold your hand

Be still and know

Yes, know that He is God

So Rest in Him; Rest in Him

You go through your day

Wonderin' what people might say

You think there's no way that they'd understand

The mistakes that you've made

The price has been paid

See the scars in His side, feet and hands

There's nothing you can say or do

To make Him Stop loving you

And He'd do it all over again!

When you can't take another step

Just remember He is there to lean on

Say His name and He's by your side

He'll carry you all the day long

Just rest in Him; Rest in Him

Rest in Him

Enjoy Every Minute

Life is a journey, a well traveled road

And what happens next is yet to be told

We are led down this path but given a choice

Right or wrong our decisions we must voice

Life is a story about the good and the bad

As it is told, we wonder how it will end

Once it has happened we can't change our past

But we can hope in our hearts the memories will last

Life's about love, joy, and happiness

To get to the end, you must forget all the sadness

We must remember our friends and our family

Are what we live for and give for happily

And as the sands of time slip through our hands

We gotta step back and check out what's in it

Don't blink or you'll miss it; it'll all be gone

Keep your eyes wide open and

Enjoy Every minute!

Remember Where You Came From!

Sometimes we get caught up in the busyness of our lives

Doing what we do and knowing we'll get by

Forgetting that without Him we can't take another breath

Let alone get through the day without His grace

Without Him leading our steps

We need to stop and think of where we came from

And know where we could be

Don't think that we're above falling

But know if we do, He will be

The only one to forgive and forget

Don't you know He will carry us through

And when it's all done and said

He'll still say I Love You

You can do all the right things and say all the right words

But know in your heart the only one you're really gonna hurt

Don't think yourself so perfect that you don't need anyone else

To help you make it through the day, You can't do it

No you can't do it by yourself

We need to stop and think of where we came from

And know where we could be

Don't think that your above falling

But know if we do that He will be

The only one to forgive and forget

Don't you know He will carry us through

And when it's all done and said

He'll still say I Love You

My little girl skips into my room

Her smile still touches my heart

The same as it did the day she was born

I've loved her from the start



As my son sits in my lap

I think how all this came to be

The little feet I look at now

What will they take him to see

I wonder what will they go through

I look in their face and can only stare

Who will they marry, how bout children

Will they feel heartache or despair





What will they become

Maybe a mom, maybe a dad

Will they follow in my foosteps

Or have opportunities I never had



As I ponder on all of this

The memories fly into my mind

The first time I held them

The way their fingers gripped mine



There are always moments

Throughout every day

I'll not want to forget

I hope they never fade



As I watch them both grow up

And realize how time flies

Today, they are my little ones

Tomorrow, could be goodbye



If nothing else, I hope they know

God's watching all the time

And remember that I love them

And will always call them mine

Friends Are Needed When Facing Life's Crossroads

I sometimes wonder what life would be like


If I would have walked down a different pike


I could have done this; I could have done that


Maybe I could have avoided that spat


With a loved one I have or a good friend fo mine


Things would have been different, if only I would have had a sign





This may be cheesy, but I really think


If I could change things with only a blink


Everyone would be as happy as me


Because that's how I'd want it; I'd want them to see


That by choosing paths wisely instead of jumping right out


By getting advice; growing up and don't pout





You will be better off, just take your time


Make good choices and you'll be just fine


Remember I'll be here. I'll be cheering for you


Hoping you will be happy with whatever you might do


I hope as your life goes by, you won't look back and say


I wish things were different, so, I don't think I'll stay





Look far into the future and think about each step


It will take to get there and how you want to be kept


Again, don't forget me, as I wait to see what you do


I will always be your friend and no matter what, I'll be here for you!

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

To Compose something beautiful.

To Compose something beautiful

Takes all my time and thought

It must have feelings and emotions

It's something that can't be bought

The thing is I'm tired

Of composing by myself

I feel as though I'm losing it

I don't want to be placed on the shelf

Although I do compose music

It's passion I'm speaking of

For us to create it

Will take laughter, life, and love

If I could write a composition

Of how our love will always be

I'd start by playing softly

I hope this is what you see

The picture I will paint

The story I will tell

As this piece begins to flow

It's too special to ever sell

To Compose this love we have

To make it exactly what it should be

I cannot do it by myself

It must be written by you and me
