| A Street I Can't Walk Down I walked in the dark, alone on a street. Two blocks from your house I could see your light. Your curtains were open and I saw your face. I saw that you were with someone else. Your arms around her as you danced. I walked right by with tears in my eyes. My dreams of us shattered as you kissed her good night. I never went down that street again. Walked around it instead so I wouldn't see, the dancing you did that you never did with me. |
| I Do I wake up to the sunlight. I say goodnight to the stars. I cry when it rains. I laugh when it snows. I smile in the moonlight. I wake up to the sunlight. |
| What Happened? He looks out the window with fear in his eyes. Wondering where the time went and why he broke those ties. She is gone forever without a goodbye. All he can do is shed a tear and let out a sigh. He will still love her with all of his heart, and always wonder why they had to part. |
| I Had A Dream One Night I had a dream one night. We were on a cliff, looking over in fear. I had a dream one night. You were on a cliff, alone and unaware. I had a dream one night. I was on that same cliff, watching you fall off. I had a dream one night. We were apart and I was crying on that cliff. I had a dream one night. You were too afraid to love me like you wanted. I had a dream one night. I never woke up. I couldn't live without you. |
| Stay True Regret inside ones heart can turn into hatred one day. Trying hard to make amends can swallow you up at the end. Wishing you had one more chance will only make your mind numb. Lying to yourself inside eventually will drive you mad. Take precautions when you jump into those feelings you can't help. Stand up tall and you will prevail. Love your life no matter what. Challenge everyone around you and don't let anyone put you down. |
| The Life You Gave Me You gave me life, but so much more. Showed me all that was in store for me in life that I should watch for. You looked out for me when there was trouble in my heart. You loved me from the very start. You taught me all I needed to know. As I grew, told me all I should do. Always told me I was pretty, even when I felt like less. You made me better when I had stress. You always put me in my place, but I learned from all mistakes. I love you mother for all of this, with this poem I send a kiss, to show you all the praise I give, and day-by-day you are why I live. |
| Your Best Work This child you have is growing so fast. With a mother and father that love him so much. You will teach him to be loving and kind, to never give up on his dreams. His father will teach him the ways of the world, how to be strong and stand up for himself. His words are sharp and clear, even now. His little hands hold yours as you show him this earth. As he gets older and knows what he wants, you will guide him in the right direction. Tell him that he has choices and help him choose the right path. He will be grateful, as he becomes a man. He will hold your hand when you are both old and gray, to thank you for being the parents he needed. He will bring you his love in a box, for you to hold onto as he turns into what you taught him to be. You're other boys and girls will feel just the same, as this first child will teach them what you have taught him. To love this world that you brought to their eyes. |

| Marvin Gaye On The Radio Summer rain and soft breezes wash over her as the moonlight lights her face with beauty. Long black hair and eyes of green he watches his love dance under the stars. Soft white skin and pink fingernails hair blowing in the wind. The warm raindrops lick her face as he steps close to dance with her. Marvin Gaye on the car radio, shoes off, grass in their toes as he kisses her rain drenched head. He breathes in her beauty with his face close to hers. Whispering he loves her, he disappears. She begins to cry as she walks to the car, realizing she's all alone. She feels him with her when she dances. Marvin Gaye on the car radio as she drives away from that place, the place where they spent hours. She will see him again one day, but for now she will come to this place every night and dance with him to Marvin Gaye on the radio. |
