Our Friendship
          	As I think of our friendship, I begin to see
          	Mere words can’t describe what you mean to me.
          	When this cold, hard world has me lonesome and blue
          	I look up to see my angel, my sweet angel, you.
          	
          	You dry the tears that fall from my eyes.
          	You bring me sunshine to brighten my sky.
          	You rescue me when I’m scared and alone
          	And take my hand to lead me home.
          	
          	No matter the miles that keep us apart
          	We’re always together in each other’s hearts
          	Sometimes we take for granted, I fear,
          	The ones who are so close and dear.
          	
          	We get so caught up in life and things we must do
          	Sometimes we forget to stop and say I love you.
          	If ever you felt I forgot or didn’t care
          	Let me stop right now, my true feelings I’ll share.
          	
          	You’re the sun in my sky, the bed where I lie.
          	You’re the home where I’m safe, the field where I play.
          	You’re everything I am, everything I do.
          	So what I am saying is I LOVE YOU!

Time To Stop Struggling
          Life is unfair, sometimes the misery we can’t bear.. 
          This was a feeling I could never share…
          I am strong, strong enough to move on from this pain, 
          I won’t feel the shame, my life is not a game, 
          tired of these tears and my fears… 
          I will cherish my inspirations… 
          I will find my dream, I promise, that’s what I will achieve.. 
          I will find a way to leave.. 
          I’m not who you will deceive.. 
          I believe in miracles, these people laugh like it’s hysterical… 
          I won’t fall, I may be lost but I will be found…
          One day I will find the perfect life, life will run beautifully, I will fly like a butterfly through the night, will have a pleasant sight, afraid but I will fight… 
          No boundaries, free my mind of all the pressure, leaving here will be my pleasure.. 
          I want so much to be free, so much I want to see… 
          I want to reach the sky, I want so bad too fly… 
          See, I use to be a fool when I let you treat me cruel… 
          I made a mistake but I wont let my self break.. 
          Leave me, for gods sake… 
          So now I kneel down to pray, for these times of struggle I will just say, I’ll leave in your hands. God, I will let go..

Gone, Forever
          I miss the times when you were here
          telling me to have no fear
          To hold my head up high and strong
          add happy notes to my sad song
          
          I miss the way you look at me
          As if I were too blind to see
          The path I’m on might hurt and scathe
          But all goes well if you just have faith
          
          I miss the sound of your sweet voice
          Through bitter times a saving noise
          That told me what was right and wrong
          But rang in my ears for far too long
          
          A caring person, you were such
          That helped and hurt me, oh so much
          You’d guide and mislead me through the day
          You left me lonely when I’d rather you stay
          
          Over things like that you had no control
          A rock set in motion will continue to roll
          No matter how hard you tug and heave
          You were always pushed and forced to leave
          
          Then one day you never returned
          My tears so hot they almost burned
          Aware now about what I lack
          But crying and mourning wont bring you back
          
          For me to let out what I need to say
          I can’t do much more than pray
          No longer am I weak, my hearts quite strong
          From adding a happy chorus to a sad, sad song

Letting Go
          There comes a time
          when we must let go.
          
          Let our heart speak
          let the tears flow.
          
          It’s never easy
          for us to do.
          
          But sometimes it’s
          the only way
          of healing you.
          
          We will doubt
          whether it’s right
          or wrong. 
          
          But it’s the first step
          that you’ve taken
          in so long.
          
          How things will
          turn out, we’ll know
          in the end.
          
          But, if it’s happiness
          we seek.
          
          It’s better to find it
          rather than just
          pretend.

A sacrifice you make today 
          Will never ever be gone
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Will soon be passed on
          
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Will stay in many hearts
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Help many play their parts
          
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Will never be forgotten
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Will never be mistaken
          
          A sacrifice you make today 
          May even change history
          A sacrifice you make today 
          May be kept in someone’s memory
          
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Might light someone’s day up
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Might fill someone’s dry cup
          
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Will always be treasured
          A sacrifice you make today 
          Will always be remembered.

Forever Connected
          Every moment we spent together
          Has touched our lives, our souls forever
          The things that we shared and learned
          Is permanent growth that we’ve earned.
          
          The person that I have grown into today
          Did not get there by chance, no way
          I am who I am partly because of you
          And you are YOU because of me, too
          
          The changes I see
          and what I have learned about me
          are a response to how we affected our lives
          and what we discover in each others eyes.
          
          It is uncertain if we have to part or one day live together 
          Either way, we have touched our lives forever!
          No matter what the future will show
          No matter what we are told.
          
          We are connected on such a deep levels
          That no one can remove that, not even the devil.
          Our feelings might be different a year from now
          But you are part of me forever somehow
          
          A part of me will always be you 
          and a part of you will always be me. 
          no matter what happens ,that much is certain 
          our souls are one until life closes the curtain.
          
          I will love your forever
          For worse or for better
          
          You are tattooed in my heart 
          And nothing can tear our souls apart.
          
          I will never forget you
          For my love is honest and true.

A Self Confidence
          If you think you are beaten, you are;
          If you think that you dare not, you don’t;
          If you’d like to win and you think you can’t
          It’s almost certain that you won’t.
          
          If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;
          For out in the world you’ll find
          Success begins with a fellows will -
          It’s all in the state of mind.
          
          If you think that you are out-classed, you are;
          You’ve got to think high to rise;
          You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
          You can ever win a prize.
          
          Life’s battles don’t always go
          To the stronger or faster man;
          But sooner or later, the man who wins
          Is the man who thinks he can.

Stand Strong
          When things seem difficult miserable
          Life is turning away from you
          Intimidated and worn out you remain
          In darkness at a corner you examine
          Watching the sky as it disappears
          Reminding the lost beloved ones
          How beautiful and caring they were
          Vanishing without saying goodbye
          Shortening your long life span
          And leaving you destitute and lonely
          Deeply you wonder
          How life can really be unfair 
          To honest and good people like you
          But all you let go off
          And focus to mend your life
          And strengthen your heart
          With good and caring friends on your side
          Opening the picture of brightness
          Knowing GOD holds your hand
          Leading you to your success
          Stars embracing the whole sky
          And you know your journey has started
          In pursuit of your purpose
          Slowly matching from dusk to dawn
          With smiles and determination
          In whispers you read your heart
          ALWAYS STAND STRONG

Life's Choices
          Life is full of choices
          Make sure you pick the right one
          Don’t listen to the voices
          Hear only yours and you have won
          
          Many people will tell you
          You need to change your looks
          Don’t take to heart their view
          Fabulous bods are found only in books
          
          There is only one voice
          That you should listen to
          It will help make the right choice
          That is perfect just for you
          
          Your looks are your own
          Someone will always love you
          You will never be alone
          Look in the mirror and you’ll see who.
