| Good Bye Saying good bye to you has never been easy Doing so meant letting go of what we had Letting go of our own piece of heaven A heaven founded in a world That lacked touch and feel A world totally of our making A world that is fading into all but a memory Time and time again we have tried And failed�I asked for it to be gradual In the hope that I will endure the loss For yes Teddy I have lost Lost something so precious, so dear Nothing in this world or the next Could ever replace With all odds against us we found each other We were told our love was wrong But did we care? No�because we were happy Slowly you found your way into my heart Showed me how it was to be cherished To be loved for me and only me Nothing could be more painful Than to have to bid you farewell A good bye to you You who was my �new day� The hope in my �uncertainty� My strength, and my weakness Take with you my heart And remember me, your baby, always �nofo aa |
| A Lover's Draw My heart beats a different beat It beats for the loss For the heartache for doubts My tears do not fall Such pain needs no tears This pain knows no end This pain is mine doing Like morning dew upon the grass He was my new day Like the stars in the sky His love brought me hope Like lightning and thunder We clashed� Neither emerging victorious, nor defeated With a draw we are left With emptiness I will mourn �nofo aa |

| Moving on Distances I will walk, Without you next to me, Where will my path lead? To have travelled so far To have seen so much Yet a life without you Is no life at all? Looking down at this sidewalk Footsteps from the past echo Of a time you walked beside me And your smile was mine alone Till that fateful afternoon You saw me with another And misunderstood The wind blows cold Its persistent thrusts Reminding me of you Enfolding me in its embrace I remember your pride �your condemnation My darling he was a friend With head held high You turn and walk away Frozen in state I watched Not knowing what to do My pride telling me no My heart crying out to stop But we both know What�s done is done �its time to move on |
| My promise On this cold winter�s night I remember Your whispers of love and things to come The dreams we shared The children we will have Of that much loved dog And the hope that someday we will be together Darling I wish for all this with you I can imagine life with no other As the days go by My youth passing me by Your love remains young As the day I first fell in love How can fate be so cruel? To bring you into my life To tempt me with the unreachable Unfold a lifetime of happiness, Untold joy and utter bliss I don�t know what to do The future holds uncertainty And lacks promise The future is not mine to say What I can do is promise you my heart �till its last beat�I will love you |

| My Mother Silently she weeps Her gentle lips quivering For me, one so unworthy Showering kisses on my face In hushed whispers telling me To be good, to pray�to call If you could see her You�d never wish a tear to fall My heart breaks yet I must go Looking back I see her smile Her eyes saying, �I love you� Her hand reaching for my father Her baby I always will be A depth of gratitude I owe For the young woman I have become Is her doing, she taught me patience Taught me obedience, she taught me life �and showed me love Duty to husband and family My mother knew her place Yet in my defence She would brave all A brave woman she always will be My mother, my very own superwoman I wish you happiness mine mother For even after four children You still found room for one more With welcoming arms to embrace me A safe haven, I long for home Weep not my mother I will return |
| My Sister Your laughter reminds me of the early torment You were first, you were most loved As last born, I was not noticed The beautiful one, the adored one I had no heart to make my home Someone to turn to in my weakest hour Resentment and bitterness faded With years of observing everyone As last born, I saw more That the beautiful one, also needed me Mine own looks mirroring yours My broken heart had mended Misunderstood and na�ve I saw not past my little world My dear sister loved me Taught self pride and dignity we were Until the day she turned to me And said, �I need you� Gone was rivalry A heroine of sorts I became For you I will be your champion To share your pain and remind you That he turned his back on a miracle My dear sister you will never know |
