Heal me
Help me be the one
Who I can revere
Smile, laugh at
From now to eternity.
Let my emotions
Flow with cheer
Keep a smile upon my face
Even in times
That are so hard, so severe.
I must not
Believe in trouble or hardship
See, be the light
That guides lost souls to their own
Lofty atmosphere.
– Be the one you want another to be –

You know I haven’t seen
You nearby me
Haven’t heard your voice
Say a single thing
Don’t know where
You’ve gone
Or
Where you could have been
For my mind remembers
The sweetest things
But
That’s all they are now
Is
Memories
Just memories
Could it be
I can’t find you
Can’t find you no matter
Where I look
Cause you too
Are nothing more
Than
A memory
A memory
My mind has
Put
Away for safe-keeping
To later embrace
And
Have a look?

The world is full of hate
Will it ever
Ever
Dissipate?
It festers, boils, multiplies
Spreading over
All sweet innocence
Kindness
Is
Denied.
My heart cries
Weeps for the world
So full of anger
Steeped
In
Hate.
Please take it
Make it be
Not
Of this world
Not for us, for you, nor me.

No one told me
what I’d see
No one held me
giving security
No one showed me
told me
what life could really be
Only life itself
gave
that opportunity.

Courtesy comes
And
Does live
In the heart of heaven
I know it is.
I can see it happening
I can feel the bliss
Here beside me
In this, this life
I live.

Somewhere out there
You be
Living, loving
Being the best
You can be.
I must find you
I must be
Like you
Loving, caring
Full of beauty, curiosity.

Quietly
I hold you dearly
Singing songs of love
So clearly
Cherished by those that hear
The melody
Quietly
I say words that hold you close
Words of wisdom for love
For
I love you
Oh so much, the most.
Quietly
I walk away
Never looking back
Never saying
Or
Waving goodbye.
Quietly
I disappear from your life
For
You have learned
All that’s needed.
Quietly.

Standing on the precipice
Going forward
Then
Looking back to see
All those who stand
Stand with me.

Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.
Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words
I hope won’t make me cry.
And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.
The only thing left
Is for me to abide
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.

Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see.
Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.
Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything.
Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.
