You see a reflection of someone you
Used to know
She had the heart to shatter everyone around her.
Anyone wanted to hurt her, she would be prepared.
Head up and eyes ready, she would knock them down.
When she met you,
All was turned upside down
Walls built up strong and solid
Ceased to exist
As time went on, she got to know you better
She began to let all the walls crumble against her wishes
She knew that it was dangerous
She knew the hurt and pain that would come
But as far as she could understand
You can't guard the heart with the mind
No matter how hard she tried
The heart always rules over the mind.
Now everyday she lives for the fullest
Trying not to think of the day to come
When the little voice in the back of her mind
Tell her "I told you so"
(November 26, 1998)
She could feel it,
Smell it in the air.
She still had hoped
It wouldn't come to this
And believed it never would
But now, seeing what
Was happening
And knowing the cause
It would have to happen now
Before it was to late
One question remains
And everyday its repeated in her head
"Why can't there be Peace?"
(December 3, 1998)
I was screaming inside
I didn't want you to leave
But you felt it was best
You where the mad one
Always holding it inside
Never knowing what your next move was
I was just waiting, wondering, crying deep inside
Just wanting to know waht it was that was eating you up inside
You never told me, and I guess I'll never know
But the love I feel for you always tends to grow.
From the trees always
Remind me of the life that used to be.
I was one of those leaves
"Fallen and Forgotten"
But you was not afraid
You stopped and picked me up one day
You showed me how brighten my way
To become something wonderful and true
You never left me to be raked aside, remaining with the rest
You always told me to be my best.
You are my tree that holds me tight.
Never to release me on a cold night.
Never to let go when trouble blows my way
I'm writing this to show my gradatude
And say "Thank You" for never letting go.
decated to Dave, from your loving wife.
The sun shining softly on her silver hair
I wonder the secrets she holds deep inside
Is she smiling or hiding a tear in her eye?
She watches our day as her story unfolds.
For you see, she is you, grown old.
And with every decision you make today,
You're creating the woman you'll be someday.
Just for now the old woman depends on you.
She waits and she watches.
As you make her dreams come true.
Be kind to the woman waiting there,
For time passes swiftly and you must prepare. . .
Be watchful, young woman, choose well today!
Remember to live for the woman you'll be someday.
