WHAT ONCE WAS MINEMy life has overwhelmed me
there�s no where I can hide
my dreams and expectations
have all been pushed aside,
What once was in my grasp
my future that I see
is now just a vision
with no reality,
It came without no warning
and tore my heart in two
the perfect life I thought I had
was nothing without you.
My eyes are wet with sorrow
my body filled with pain
the life I�d planned for you and I
could never be the same,
If life would have no limits
and I could turn back time
I�d do my best with all my might
to keep you always mine

HIDDEN HEART
From the first day we held hands,
to the last day we said goodbye,
i'll never forget those momets,
i'll never forget those times.
No matter how bad you hurt me,
I stood by you,
no matter how much you lied,
I said they where the truth.
I wish I never knew you,
I wish all what happened wasnt true.
But it is
and i did.
Sometimes I think what life would be like,
if I had my whole heart,
if i never told you how much i cared.
it's hard to imagane,
how simple my life was before,
knowing you.

52 CARD LIFE
Life is like a deck of cards
You take what you can get
There is a little secret though
That I hope you'll never forget
It's not how many good cards you have
It's how you play the bad
And if you fold to soon
You may loose something good you had
To put this advise in other words
To say again what it means
Don't ever give up on anything
Especially your dreams

A DREAM OF LOVE
What I want most is what I fear.
The dream I�m supposed to follow I don�t believe in.
I�m not strong enough to hold back that one tear.
There�s too much going on under the skin.
Emotions are conflicting everywhere inside,
Creating a disastrous war.
This pain is my choice to hide.
I forgot who I�m dreaming for.
The skin is just the physical protector,
But what protects the fragile heart,
When the body is just a specter,
And the hurt keeps you far apart?
I don�t deserve what I want,
Yet I�m powerless to stop this dream.
Spirits from my past continue to haunt
And I feel I will never be redeemed.
But this resilient dream is too strong.
Maybe I�ll gain hope once again.
And even though it might be wrong,
It could be worth it, my friend.
So take my hand and come with me.
Together we will face tomorrow.
Although not all dreams come to be,
The dream of love is worth our sorrow.

INSIDE
She's always yearning for something that's not there,
That goes beyond the makeup and hair.
To find the true me,
That even I don't see.
An absence inside her mind,
Hoping oneday somebody will find.
Being insecure,
And her heart is hurt and sore.
Tired of getting put down,
And always leaving the conversation with a frown.
What's the use of trying anymore,
She's just going to find another locked door.
People don't realize how hard it is for me, (she says)
It's just another side that no one else sees.

A MOTHERS QUEST
In Heaven I hope that there will be
A special place for Mothers... We'll see...
Wake up each day, is there time to pray?
Lord, help me get through one more day.
Coffee made, breakfast started
Already my mind and I have parted.
Get them dressed and on their way
Dear Lord, convince me that there is a way.
Eat your lunch, take your nap.
Dear Lord, around me, your arms please wrap.
It's practice time, where's your hat?
And don't forget your baseball bat.
Dinner will be a little late.
Mind yourselves, I'll be home at 8.
Pick up your mess and take your bath.
You really don't want to face Mom's wrath.
Say your prayers. PLEASE! Go to sleep!
(They don't understand that I'm dead on my feet.)
Meals cooked, morning, noon and night
Settling every little fight.
Making it through the daily grind
Trying not to lose my mind.
Help each with work from two different schools
Teach them about life- how not to be fools.
I try each day with all my might
Just to make it through 'til night.
As I lay down upon my bed
So many things run through my head.
What to get this one for her special day?
How to help that one- there's GOT to be a way.
I'm so alone I really feel this way.
Oh, Lord, help me make it through one more day.

DEEP DOWN
As I search deep down inside myself,
For a wholeness I will never know.
I close my eyes and cry,
I start to think of you more and more.
As tears roll down my cheeks,
I ask myself what went wrong.
I love you dearly and always will,
But days, weeks, and months have passed.
But I must move on,
My heart is wounded and still I mourn.
I see you and pass you everyday,
I smile and nod but tread no farther.
I hope that one day we might be able to pass words,
And in many ways I fear what you have to say.

THE ONE!
God took the best thing
That happened to me!
The one woman in my life,
The one that fed me,
The one that clothed me,
The one that sheltered me,
And most of all the one that LOVED ME!
But up in Heaven is her home,
I loved my mom from head to toe,
But I guess up in heaven
The Lord Jesus Christ
Needs the BEST!

CHILD
She doesn't smile,
she doesn't play.
She lies there alone
almost everyday.Her dark raven hair,
her eyes pale green.
She's the oldest child
I've ever seen.I watch her and think,
Don't look so sad,
whatever it is,
can't be that bad.But that's not true,
I learn with my ways,
that sad little girl
is dying of AIDS.
Four long years fighting
a battle she lost.
AIDS is a game
and life is the cost.
She rises with the dawn
of each new day,
hoping it's the one
where she will pass away.
She lies in her bed
and stares up at the sky,
saying, "Please God,
just let me die."

I'VE LOVED YOU FOR SO LONG
Why can't you ever love me,
When I've loved you for so long?
Perhaps you could just try to see
That maybe I belong.I might bring smiles to fill your day
And words to fill your songs
If only you would come and stay.
I've loved you for so long.Vainly you search else where to find
The love you everseek.
Touch and take this love of mine,
A love that's yours to keep.

WISTFUL
If I had a million bucks
I'd split it up between us two.
If I could track down lady luck
I'd gladly send her straight to you.
If the world were mine to give
You'd have it on a silver platter.
If I could steal the stars the sky's filled with
They'd shine for you only, no other.
If I could, I'd be your shelter
To make sure you're safe from harm.
And I would be the softest cover
Always there to keep you warm.
