YOUR FACE

When I'm thinking of what's left of you
I tell about the picture in a silver frame
but when I look for a while as I often do
I say Hi and call you by your name.

Your name, mom, brings back the memory
of so many things of our past
I don't wait for and audience to be
just want us being together to last.

Even though you can't really see me
I do visit you every single day
I know that you are fine, being free
sometimes I have to wipe a tear away.

And if if there's chairs around
still I do not take a seat
I'm standing silently and whisper a sound
when I try to tell you you're sweet.

Some flowers I've put near your face
they're fresh and look as beautiful as you
I know, no one can ever take your place
and to be honest, I think you know it too.

Sad days I can't prevent to come
even if I'm really trying to do my best
I neither know where they're coming from
for I hate those days; they disturb my rest

You know I'm strong, well, I do try
but in sad days I can't hold back my tears;
I'm glad that not everyone knows why
I do talk to you, for you never talk back.

I wish I had told you so much before;
everything that was right there,
hidden in my heart,
but it doesn't matter anymore because
we're never ever far apart.....

IMAGINE

If the million tears I cried
would be tokens
and God would give credit
for all my pain..
I certainly would pay my journey
to wherever you are
so we could meet
to bring you back home again.

But all the tears I cried;
they are no tokens
and I know God gives no reward
for all my pain..
I cannot find my way
to where you are
andI know I've lost
my way again.

My cries, sometimes so anxious;
they really are no jewels
that are put on broken dreams
of gold;
But the one and only Treasure
I longed for
is You here to hold.

So since the tears I cry
aren't tokens
and my shattered dreams no gold;
I make you the Jewel in
my Treasure of memories
Forever in my heart and
safe from the cold..

ASKING YOU

Don't only feel sad for me; as I may leave you some day
for the wish I have to be free, will never go away.

Don't try to take me by the hand, even if you might hear me call
cause you wouldn't understand as I turn my back, desert it all.

Don't think I will work or play; my tasks I'll leave undone
and I tell it must be that way, for I'll find peace when I am gone.

And if my parting leaves a hole; I hope you fill it with memories
love shared, friendships to recall; maybe those things I too will miss.

Don't grieve, nobody is to blame; never keep only times of sorrow
it might be nice to remember my name, as I wish you the sun of tomorrow...

NIGHTMARE

Rain does often hide the tears in my eyes;
the sky opens up and steps into my heart
and while thunder will laugh, my soul dies
trying to recollect the day you did part.

When lightning strikes, I close my eyes;
my heart still spins and my body's hurt
The time is near to know about the "why's"
while cold winds sting my face, so absurd.

Rain now will always gonna hide these tears
though the sky lights up, showing me sunbeams
But the warmth is never enough to chase my fears
for they seem to have settled in all my dreams.

Will I hear your voice; I'll be so afraid..
Can I touch your skin: I'll maybe scream..
Would our souls cry; it would be too late
but then..
I wake up,
relieved that it was only a dream...

WHAT IF

What if I found the strength today
to get on with my life
What if I found that I could say
to everyone "I'm doing fine"
Could I believe my hopeful words?
even if they weren't the truth?
Would they make my heart believe
them too, somehow, change my mood?

What if I started changing things
beginning with this room;
moving around the furniture till
nothing will seem like with you?
Would it change how I feel inside
at the point of who I am?
I'm still missing you real bad and
don't know what to do.

What if you still were in my life
or if I would wish it hard enough?
Would you just suddenly be there
even though I know the painful truth?
As long as there's some hope to it
would I keep on going, wondering:
"what if" instead of "what could"?

What if I saw you out today on
someone else's arm?
What if I walked right up to you
and didn't fall apart?
Could I really be happy for you,
wish you well and just turn away?
That's a scene I couldn't face as
the thought will darken my day.

Even though I should give up
please do not ask me to..
As long as there's some hope to it
I keep on going wondering
As long as there's some feeling left
and as long as there's one chance;
I'll keep on going, wondering:
"what if"..
what if I still had you?

QUIET MOMENT

Is that really rain I hear?
has another year gone by?
I lose track of time sometimes
and then Ifind
the seasons changed again
and I wonder what became
of dreams and friends
I used to know
So much of life is letting go....

And then
in a quiet moment
it all comes back
the people and places
from the past;
in a quiet moment
it fits together right
and I know that I've been
blessed with every
moment that goes by....

Through it all my heart believes
what's meant to be will come
to me in time;
for each hello I have known
there's always one goodbye
And though the reasons hide
I'm sure there must be
reasons why.
I've laughed, I've cried
I've faced my fears
I've felt love leave,
I've held love near.

ABOUT LIFE

When born into this world
can't give you a guarantee
for it's an unknown journey
mankind has to see
Life does not hold promises
as to what will come our way
we have to keep on searching
to every time find our way
Sometimes life is gentle
and gives us time to choose
We will discover secrets
which might hurt very hard
but if we're willing to use
the possibilities from the start
we don't have a thing to lose
We constantly can fill our life
with hundreds of special moments
and unforgettable times
as nobody knows the mysteries
of the exact meaning of fate
Keep at all times an open mind
before it might be too late
to truly believe in our own dreams
and in ourselves
For life is the most precious gift
in which everything is possible
Let's therefore take and make
one day at a time
without ourselves to break.
