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
