Backtrack
Backtrack to the days when we were young
And reminisce of days short and long
And of the days of summer heat
We'd go swimming down by the creek
In the winter we did skate
On the rink that once was a lake
Sliding and sledding in the crisp winter snow
Laughing and feeling the cold wind blow
I'll always remember those wonderful days
Close to my heart in so many ways
The best days I had were back then and there
I had so much fun I never had a care.

Look Up Above
Look up above at the clear blue sky
Or the beauty of it will pass you by
Look at the flowers blooming so bright
All the colors and shapes and types
Look at your family what do you see?
I hope you will notice what I always see
Look at yourself and ask yourself this
Are you satisfied? I hope you can say yes.

I Am A Proud Canadian
I am a proud canadian proud as I can be
Proud to put my flag up for everyone to see
Proud to live in Canada the best place in the land
When you need some problem fixed
People reach out their hand
They're friendly and they're gentle
Courteous and loyal
They never ever think twice
When it comes to royal
If you need assistance all you have to do
Is let them know you're problem
And they'll get right to you
I'm a Canadian lady no better place to live
Than in good old Canada
The place that gives and gives.

Visions Of You
Visions I see of you day and night
How long can I struggle with this uncontrollable fight?
I try to go on and keep thoughts of you away
But they keep coming back each and everyday
I keep busy hoping these visions will go
But they drift in more often
And cloud my thinking now
It's getting harder now and tougher to bare
I can't seem to focus knowing you are not here
My days seem so empty and nights filled with gloom
As I sit and wander in my lonely room
This vision won't leave until you're made mine
And I hope that is soon my darling
Come to me and be entwined

My Mom
My mom is caring my mom is sweet,
My mom will inspire you she can't be beat.
She'll hold you and comfort you and treat you with care,
And let you know she's always there.
She'll stand beside you in whatever you do,
And give you confidence and always praise you.
She'll wipe away your tears when you're feeling sad,
And tell you it will be o.k. she'll make you feel glad.
She will see to your every need like no other,
And make you feel so very loved,
The one I call my mother.
She takes your pain,and wipes it away,
And makes you stand up tall
Tells you that there's brighter days.
So you won't hurt at all,
She comforts you and kisses you.
And never lets you suffer. I'd like to
thank my GOD above For giving me my mother

My Guardian Angel
There's an angel watching over me
Keeping me safe and company
Making sure I come to no harm
Giving me guidance and love and charm
Sending me where I'm supposed to go
Where she will lead me I don't know
She will guide me and lead the way
I trust in her knowledge
With each passing day
I need not be worried
She's right by my side
Guiding me closely with eyes open wide

Miracle On The Street Corner
I was standing by the crosswalk and to my eye did appear
Was a young couple driving by in their car
and I heard him say to her "Get over here"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing
The shouting and yelling so loud
I hollared out to them in the street
You shouldn't be hollaring like that
You should be loving one another
Things will go smooth I promise you that
He said "Mind your own business"
This is between her and me
I said "But I'm making it my business"
So that you'll take time to see
How much you're hurting each other
How simple life can be
They looked at me in wonder and said"Hey
what she's saying makes sense
"Thank you lady for making us see"
That we can be all that we can be

Change Of Season
Summer's over fall is near
Time to dress warmer it would appear
It's getting cooler everyday and night
Soon the cold weather will appear with it's bite
Leaves will be falling Turning colors too
Their beauty will enthrall us and comfort you
Colors of green yellow and red
Soon the leaves will all be dead
Only to blossom again next year
I wait for the beauty to appear
