My heart rules, my heart says
Be the best and then leave the rest
Don’t look for bad nor tolerate those
That bring it.
My heart hears all kinds of things
Water crashing on distant shores
A baby bird looking for some more
The calling of a lonesome wolf.
My heart feels the touch of necessity
A coffee warm, so tasty
The gentle caress from one
So loved.
My heart does all these things
While beating life and breathe
Into everything.

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe
Another day
Maybe it’ll feel like forever
In the way you feel
Today.
But
Your end will come
In a moment
Or
It may have come
Yesterday.
Your purpose, your mission
Is
To live each moment
Each day
With joy and happiness.
So
When you close your eyes
For forever
You’ll smile
And
You’ll say
“That was fun
That was, a good day!”

Soley
my heart does ache
for ones taken
as
angels bring to heaven
these innocent people
who’ve lost
their precious lives.
What is the reason why?
My heart aches
I weep, we weep
We cry.

Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.

Memories come
Then
They pass
I ask the question
Did they really happen
Or
Was I in a dream
That wasn’t part
Of my past?
Memories vague
Sometimes
Vibrant as if they happened
Yesterday
Not long ago
In a distant, distant past.
I’ll remember, smile
And be
Reliving memories
Remembering
A past that was
Really me.

I have felt
and
still feel you here
I know
know you are forever
with me there
I’ll try my best
to let you lead me
where I need to go
Guiding me
thru
that treacherous path
Coming out to a world
full of love and beauty
unsurpassed.

I have nothing to say
– Today –
Words are none
mute and quietly nothing
I may say
great words of wisdom
in coming days
But for now
– Today –
I have nothing to say.

I told you not
I told
I told all
that would listen
Told them how it was
how it would be
Now
I’m telling you all
These precious things
that have been
And
Will be.

Don’t live your life
in a way
you know how you’ll die.
Live a life worth living
til that time, that time
you really do die.
Let joy, happiness prevail
all trials, heartache pale with moments
when
your heart bursts in joyous cries
your eyes run tears of gratitude
your ears hear angels trumpet
stories.
Stories of your magnificent life.
the life, that life
you’re going to live.
Till you die.

I have made it
even thou there were those
Who said
It won’t be so
couldn’t be, would never be
Hear their calls of criticism
hear their snorts of disbelief
Saying
I can’t do this
this that I know I need too
know I can do
can succeed and complete.
