Do I know you?
Do you know me?
Do you wake in the night
Wondering how I could be?
Is your first thought in the morning about me?
Your last question as your eyes fall asleep
Is it, is it all about me?
I didn’t think so
I knew it wouldn’t be
Cause I never think of you
And
You don’t know me.

A heart touched
By a loving paw and a wet nose
Is a heart
Forever
Forever full.

I hold in my hands
The very essence
Of
This my life.
I cherish in my heart
All the things
That make it so blessed
In
All my life.
I seek to find
Meaning, strength in the path
I take, the people I meet
Making it the best I can
This
My only life.
This is my prayer
This is my life
I will take it take it to the top
Surpass all the rest
Going to
The highest heights.
Yes I will
This
This is my life.

Tender hearts do not break
They stand their ground
So very strong
Dear
To everyone They know.
They change lives
They show kindness, love
Will grow
In places so vacant
So cold.
Tender hearts
Only
Need a chance
A chance to embrace
The lost, the hurt.
Hold them
Till they too bestow
Tender heart’s kindness
To all
All they know.

When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet.
When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry.
Now again
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes.
My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.

Moving forward is the only thing
The only way
With gentleness and resolve
Make your way
Walk your path into tomorrow
Living in today
Leave yesterday where it is
It’s had it’s time
It’s day.

Heaven told me
not to tell
About the kind gestures
You gave to all that needed love
So I didn’t
I didn’t tell
Instead
I held you in my arm’s embrace
To let you know as well
You are loved
You are needed
But
Please don’t tell
For heaven needs you
Heaven wants you
There
To do your work of kindness
Cause
You do it oh so well.

I met my love
A long time ago
And
Far, far away
On this day
This
Valentine’s Day.
We’ve travelled
Thru life
Together
Living, loving, laughing
Maybe
A little fighting
Whatever
Life brought us
On that particular day.
Looking back
I smile and say
Life has been good
Since
Way back
When I met my love
On
Valentine’s Day.

No one knows
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.
Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.
over again.

My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.
Wait for me
For
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there
No more, no more
To
Weep.
