Keep Walking .........

~ I Will Always Love You ~

2012-02-13T08:31:00.001+08:00

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

(Instrumental solo)

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

~ Nothing Lasts Forever ~

2012-02-08T00:48:00.001+08:00

Nothing lasts forever
No one lives forever
Keep that in mind, and love

Our life is not the same old burden
Our path is not the same long journey
The flower fades and dies
We must pause to weave perfection into music
Keep that in mind, and love

My beloved, in you I find refuge

Love droops towards its sunset
To be drowned in the golden shadows
Love must be called from its play
And love must be born again to be free
Keep that in mind, and love

My beloved, in you I find refuge
Without seeing my love, I cannot sleep

Let us hurry to gather our flowers
Before they are plundered by the passing winds
It quickens our blood and brightens our eyes
To snatch kisses that would vanish
If we delayed

Our life is eager
Our desires are keen
For time rolls by
Keep that in mind, and love

My beloved, in you I find refuge

Beauty is sweet for a short time
And then it is gone
Knowledge is precious
But we will never have time to complete it
All is done and finished
In eternal heaven
But our life here is eternally fresh
Keep that in mind, and love

(Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941)

~ Unending Love ~

2012-02-08T00:33:00.007+08:00

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it’s age old pain,
It’s ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.

~Rabindranath Tagore

~ Do Not Keep To Yourself ~

2012-02-08T00:21:00.004+08:00

Do not keep to yourself the secret of
your heart, my friend!
Say it to me, only to me, in secret.

You who smile so gently,
softly
whisper,
my heart will hear it,
not my
ears.

The night is deep,
the house is silent,
the birds' nests are shrouded
with sleep.

Speak to me through hesitating tears,
through faltering smiles,
through
sweet shame and pain,
the secret of
your heart!

(~Rabindranath Tagore)

~ Is It Possible ? ~

2012-02-06T00:32:00.002+08:00

To be angered
But not angry?

To feel hopeless,
But not without hope?

To live alone,
Yet not be lonely?

To be down and out
Though complete and fulfilled?

To love someone,
But hate yourself?

Is it possible?

~ The Rain ~

2012-02-04T19:04:00.007+08:00

All night the sound had

come back again,

and again falls

this quiet, persistent rain.

What am I to myself

that must be remembered,

insisted upon

so often? Is it

that never the ease,

even the hardness,

of rain falling

will have for me

something other than this,

something not so insistent—

am I to be locked in this

final uneasiness.

Love, if you love me,

lie next to me.

Be for me, like rain,

the getting out

of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi-

lust of intentional indifference.

Be wet

with a decent happiness

~ Do Not Judge Me ~

2012-02-02T18:13:00.002+08:00

Today I wander down one road, a road filled with natures’ splendor

Colors abound as my eyes traverse the valley below gazing at the

Meandering ripples skirting the rocks in the stream

Flowers show their glory as they dance on raindrops gleaming in the

Morning mist, just before the sun comes up to dry their sleepy eyes

Waving to their neighbors as they open up their arms to its warmth

As the day wears on and night slowly steals in to darken the skies

The moon glow gently slips over the valley and closes sleepy eyes

The rustle of the wind lulling all to sleep with her soft sighs

Day breaks with thunder roaring in its anger over the land

Darkened clouds overcast the valley flowers in quickened speed

Winds whipping all of nature into a frenzy of deceit

Morning mist turns into dense fog and slips its cloak over all

the valley below. While flowers weep softly in sorrow their

stems bent to ward off the anger of the threatening storm

So it is with life as we travel through each new day

Changing as we learn its lessons along the way

For there is no limit to life’s happiness and pain

Only the knowledge that is to be gained

Today I walk on rainbows up into the sky with a smile

For happiness fills my heart and soul

Opening the shutters of my mind to let in its new

and exciting day’s soft glow

Do not judge me by who I am today,

Life is a merry-go-round, full of adventure and joy

It is up to me to decide how and when I want to ride

Take me as I am as day turns into night

For tomorrows adventures will determine

How I will brace myself to face the new light

~ Unspoken Emotions ~

2012-02-02T00:15:00.001+08:00

Love is supposed to be an action
not just an emotion.
Do I love you
because I feel I do ?
or because you
took the time to show it?

Love is supposed to come from the windows
of your soul and not just from the chambers
in your heart.
So, is it my soul that feels pain
or my heart that cries when you're gone?

Love is supposed to be the best form of
communicating one's inner spirituality to another.
But if we both are upset at one another,
is it our spirits or our words that
keep us a part?

Love should be me writing poetry and singing
silly songs of happiness,
blossom trees and turtle doves.
But if you don't enjoy or
appreciate any of these things,
has my love
been wasted or misunderstood?

Love should be you being able to look into my
eyes while gently caressing my soul and wanting
to create a home with me.
What if you're too busy to look into my eyes,
does that mean that
we become homeless?

Love is, love could be,
love should be infinity
times infinity and a whole lot more.
But if
you're the only one feeling it,
and I'm the only one showing it,
were we ever truly in love?

~ A Peaceful Heart ~

2012-02-01T01:13:00.002+08:00

If we are anger
We are living in hell
What we put into our minds
Brings us
To where we are
Our own weapons are…
Prejudice, fear, and ignorance
Working for peace is
Uprooting roots from
Within us and others
What of us others ask…
Give

There are always ways to
Solve our problems
Always ways
Without killing
The person we call our “enemy”
Is also suffering
Deeply
When we
See
This we
Have the capacity
To love
We have compassion for
And accept one another

“Enemies” are illusions
They are individuals who are
Suffering and greatly need our compassion

Forgiveness is
The fruit of awareness
Forgive kindly
Mindfully
It will allow us to see
Root causes that lead to them
To suffering
This occurs naturally
And this allows
Compassion
To be given

~ If ~

2012-01-28T01:10:00.002+08:00

If I knew you
and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine,
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less,
And clasp our hands in friendliness
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,
If I knew you
..... and you knew me.

~ The Beginning ~

2012-01-03T02:23:00.003+08:00

It's only the beginning now
...a pathway yet unknown
At times the sound of other steps
...sometimes we walk alone

The best beginnings of our lives
May sometimes end in sorrow
But even on our darkest days
The sun will shine tomorrow.

So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring
And look beyond the winter chill
To smell the breath of spring.

Into each life will always come
A time to start anew
A new beginning for each heart
As fresh as morning dew.

Although the cares of life are great
And hands are bowed so low
The storms of life will leave behind
The wonder of a rainbow.

The years will never take away
Our chance to start anew
It's only the beginning now
So dreams can still come true.

~ Life Is Beautiful ~

2011-12-31T23:48:00.004+08:00

Life is not a bed of roses

Neither full of thorns

It's beautiful

It's wonderful

Needed to be careful

Life is aim

Aiming for success

Hard working in pain

Sometimes in vain

But no pain no gain

Life is hope

Loosing hope

They're looser

Wiser ones hope

They're winner

Life is battleship

Having kingship

In times of wars

Citizen's patriotism

Protects country ship

Life is relationship

Here we make friendship

Some are friendly

And are trustworthy

Out of many, they're few

Life is a challenge

Its full of ups and downs

One being brave

One being wise

Wins the challenge

Life is Love

Love for one's parents

Love for one's childrens

Love among lovers

And to live life, its love

Life is a gift of God

It's only life to live

Let love rule our life

To make life wonderful

As life is beautiful

~ Learned ~

2011-12-27T17:44:00.003+08:00

It is not what we read,
but what we remember,
that makes us learned

It is not what we intend,
but what we do that makes us useful.

It is not a few faint wishes,
but a life long struggle,
that makes us valiant.

~ Moment In Time ~

2011-12-26T21:37:00.006+08:00

We talked,
We walked,
for a Moment in Time.

You passed through my life and left your mark.
You may never pass my way again,
Or you may stay for a lifetime.

No matter what,
I want to say thank you for the impression you made
that will stay with me for eternity.

I enjoyed the walk,
I enjoyed the talk.
I am blessed for that moment in time.

The moment I know you
I knew you would affect my life,
though your role I did not know.
There is so much I want to know.

I asked myself, "Why him?
When so many people pass through my life each day,
why him? "

What attracts me to you?
What makes me want to know more?
I want to know.

Even if my questions are never answered,
There is one thing I want you to know.
I have been blessed by the effect you had on me in that
Moment in Time.

~ I Found Everything ~

2011-12-09T09:28:00.003+08:00

I found everything
In the search for Me
I discovered Truth

In the search for Truth
I discovered Love

In the search for Love
I discovered God

And in God
I have found everything ....

~ Alone ~

2011-12-03T09:04:00.003+08:00

People need people and friends need friends

And we all need love for a full life depends

Not on vast riches or great acclaim

Not on success or on worldly fame

But just in knowing that someone cares

And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers

For only the knowledge that we're understood

Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good

And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need

When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed

The outstretched hand reaching to find

A kindred spirit whose heart and mind

Are lonely and longing to somehow share

Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware

That life's completeness and richness depends

On the things we share
with our loved ones

and friends.

~ A Matter Of Trust ~

2011-12-02T08:53:00.006+08:00

As we live out our lives from day to day
We come to realize there’s only one way,
To meet life’s challenges, as we surely must,
It comes down to one thing, it’s a matter of trust,

We rely on our faith in all that we do,
Without it there’s no hope left for me or you,
Just think on how much , on others we really rely,
Without faith in them, we’d never get by.

Think of the driver of our local bus,
He takes us around without any fuss,
The pilots of planes that fly through the sky,
Without trust in them we never would fly.

The postman each day who delivers the mail,
If there was no one to do that, we’d raise such a wail,
The doctor who treats us when we are ill,
We depend on his knowledge, to prescribe the right pills

Just think for a moment as the days fly on by,
How much on others we we always rely,
We have faith in our cars each day that we drive,
That they’ll transport us quickly, and we safely arrive.

So take time to ponder , whatever we do,
Trust is the element that see’s us get through,;
But above all things else, as through life we plod,
The greatest of all, is to have trust in Allah.

~ Towards The light ~

2011-12-01T09:25:00.002+08:00

By moonlight,
or starlight,
or in the sun’s bright rays,
I journey,
guiding my way
by keeping to the light
as best I can.

Sometimes all seems dark,
then I remember
how the poppy turns its head,
following the sun’s passage across the sky,
then rests in night’s cool shadows,
bowing in thanks
to the Creator
makes the stalk
stand straight and strong,
drawing deep from its roots
a wine dark love.

In moonlight,
the garden glows,
silvering the poppies.
And even by starlight
you can tell shades of darkness
if you try.

So do not lose heart
when vision dims.
Journey forth
as best you can
bloom when you are able,
rest when you must,
keep your faith,
keep always
towards the light.

~ Crying ~

2011-11-30T02:11:00.002+08:00

Have you ever cried without shedding a tear?

Have you felt the pain of another when they are near?
Have you cried when a new born baby arrives
And cried when you see that child as it thrives

Have you ever loved someone so much you cry?
Knowing that you will fail them no matter how you try
To keep the pain of harm, of loss, of love, of life
Turning it into joy and goodness, instead of strife

Have you felt the tears fall like raindrops as you smile?
Realizing that this is peace, glad you walked that mile...

Have you loved so hard, that it hurts deep inside
When what you need is a touch,
or love that doesn't hide
It seems that there are days when the tears fall
No matter what is good, the sadness removes it all

Crying they say is good for so many things....is that true?
Good for the soul,
good to cleanse the hurt,
heal the blues

Lately life brings many tears, as the crying doesn't cease
The wars,
the famine,
the abuses, never ending diseases
Loss of jobs,
being homeless,
addictions and despair

Rarely do we see any happiness, only sadness in the air
I've felt the joys of motherhood, and captured all that love
Praying they would be safe and content as the white dove
Instead sometimes we fail, although it was not the intent
We do our best, still fail the test, tears can't fix the dents

Crying, crying, crying...seems that is what we do.....
The tears do not fix everything, they simply fail as glue

Although we try, the years go by,
We see through different eyes, no matter how I tried

Have you ever felt the tears as they drop like heavy rain
Thinking that soon, they will dry and there will be no pain

Have you ever cried so much that there are none left
Then realized that it doesn't really matter; it is all set

I have cried the tears of joy,
the tears of gladness,
the tears of sorrow,
the tears of forgiveness,
the tears of laughter,
the tears of anger,
the tears of grieving

I have cried a river, and filled every crack within my soul
yet, for some reason, I am certain, that there will be more
because no matter what life brings us,
tears come to shore

Of all the tears that I have shed, the one that means
the most to me..
is when I held my hands and asked
to be forgiven!

~ Tired Of Empty Promises ? ~

2011-11-28T15:07:00.004+08:00

Did you place all your hopes in the things of this world
To find you've never really been satisfied ?
And you've never really been at peace in your heart
Regardless of the things you have tried.

Perhaps it was money, prestige or relationships
That left you disappointed or betrayed.
Or you've never really felt like you ever fit in
No matter where it was you stayed.

If you're tired of the vain promises
And the pale answers the world offers up,
Let's pray to Allah, ask Him to save you
Then I promise He'll fill your cup.

There's nothing this world can give a person
That could ever substitute or replace
A personal relationship with God
And knowing you're covered by grace.

~ Surrender ~

2011-11-18T12:45:00.003+08:00

In the stillness of the morning
Oh God I come to You.
I pray that on this day
You’ll help me to get through.
I pray You’ll guide each of my steps
As I live as for You today.
Please give me strength and courage
To live my life Your way.

In the business of the day
I come to You Yaa Allah
I know I get impatient Lord
For I am terribly flawed.
But please Lord take my worries
I give them all to You.
And help me trust You
In everything I do.

In the struggles of the evening
Please help me Lord get through.
Often times I just can’t cope
And I don’t know what to do.
Though storms rage up against me
Don’t let me lose the fight.
For Your strength is all I need
So keep me in your sight.

In the quiet of the night time
Oh Lord I pray to you.
Please protect my family
Each day and each night too.
I ask Lord for Your special touch
To cover us with love.
To keep us safe all through the night
As You watch us from above.

~ I'm Just A Woman ~

2011-11-11T00:29:00.004+08:00

A woman needs to be assured
In each and every way,
She needs the warmth of loving words
That only you can say.

She needs a lot of understanding …
When she's feeling somewhat down.
She needs for you to make her smile,
And take away her frown.

A woman's heart is fragile
Her feelings are that way too,
Times she feels so sad inside,
Not knowing what to do.

It's hard to be a woman,
Misunderstood in many ways,
Sometimes all it takes to help,
Is a loving word, to make her day.

She needs to know that she's the one,
That fills your heart with desire,
She needs to be told often,
That she sets your soul on fire.

She needs that soft and tender touch
As if she were a fragile rose,
And feel that she's so special.
From all others, you could have chose.

She needs to hear, "I Love you",
Whether close or miles apart,
She needs to know… she's the one,
That's the center of your heart.

So, please listen when I need to talk,
Please kiss away my tears,
Let me share my worries with you,
And help me face my fears.

You see, I'm just a woman.

~ To Be One ~

2011-11-06T05:52:00.002+08:00

To Be One ....

Not all love

no matter how strong

gets a chance to have a lifetime

of expression

some love

though it be all powerful

can only shine

in the shortness

of just the smallest time

being a love that’s true

its life force, its shadow

its tune

will live on in the hearts

of those two

that for whatever time

got the honor, the privilege

the pleasure

to be one…

~ The Pendulum ~

2011-10-25T00:27:00.005+08:00

My feelings and thoughts

Are like a pendulum 

Sometimes I am sure of what I feel

Then when I least expect it something happens

Doubt enters my mind

Making my thoughts full of fear

For I have been there before

I don’t want to go again

The pendulum swings making me unsure

Ever so slightly thoughts enter my mind

Who are you and what do you want from life

Will our desires clash and make life miserable

One day I feel I know a good and loving man

Then you will get angry and scare me again

So the pendulum swings to and fro

Sometimes making my heart hurt so 

For I know what pain is like

Deep within were no one can see

How easily threatened I can be

From the past to the future

The pendulum slowly swings

Mixing all the emotions of the times

You have shared with others before me

For I have not known but one

His pendulum swung wildly

Back and forth changing his moods

I suffered for his insecurities

The ability to compete in his world

So I paid the price with pain

Over and over again 

And the pendulum swung

~ When Time Has Ended ~

2011-10-04T22:49:00.003+08:00

Why feel proud of the world which is temporary

what if all is lost and gone

and leaving you

What if the time stopped

and you do not realize

is there a way for you

to return to repeat the past

The world is filled with ornaments

anything and everything imaginable

will return to Him

When the time has called

the true friend is only charity

when the time has stopped

true friend left is only ... silence

~ Beauty ~

2011-10-01T07:36:00.001+08:00

May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings everywhere, the strong and the weak,
The great and the small, the mean and the powerful,
The short and the long, the subtle and the gross:
May all beings everywhere, seen and unseen,
Dwelling far off or nearby, being or waiting to become:
May all be filled with lasting joy.

Let no one deceive another,
Let no one anywhere despise another,
Let no one out of anger or resentment
Wish suffering on anyone at all.
Just as a mother with her own life
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within yourself
Let grow a boundless love for all creatures.

Let our love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as we stand or walk, sit or lie down,
As long as we are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Our life will bring heaven to earth.

~ My Words ~

2011-09-27T18:03:00.002+08:00

My words, speak for my heart
Not waiting for anyone
Expected nothing, but nothing…
Then noone can no longer disappointment me

My memories I can’t let go
Even If I wanted…
Providing comfort and pain,
In one thought.

My words, will no longer be said
My heart to remain broken
Silencing my words
Keeping them to myself

I know noone care for them…
As I remain quiet
It burns my throat
And stings my heart

My words…
Are no longer words
Just the past…
And now just thoughts.

~ Unclaimed ... Unloved ~

2011-09-14T07:09:00.002+08:00

Life is like an autumn leaf
Lie around unclaimed
The breeze blows me around
To be trampled under the feet of men.

Natures cruel feast has bestowed me with pain
Pain of being a part
Just a part of someone
Pain of departing,
Departing from that one

Pick me up like a rose,
And hold me to your heart
Keep me there till he does not come
And when he comes do a good deed
Dig the earth below
And bury me deep
For I don't want to lie around
Unclaimed, unloved.

~ Fake People ~

2011-09-05T08:18:00.000+08:00

Fake people Are people that are not real
They always try to deceive you
And make you think that
they are the real deal

With fake people You can never see the light
Because when you are staring into their eyes
It's always dark and never bright

Fake people are like mirrors
You can see right through them
They are always lying to you
But you already know it's a scam

Fake people are always trying
To be something that they are not
But when you get a good look at them
You realize that they don't look no where near as hot

Fake people think
That they gain a reputation
But in my eyes
They are an embarrassment to the world
They are always trying to convince you
To believe who they say they are
But a fake person can't fool me

Fake people waste time
But they never pay attention
to the time that they are wasting
Only because their minds are always racing
They are always trying to impress you
With things that you never notice
But you wouldn't be impressed
Even if you noticed
People don't like to be lied to
So I think it's better to tell the truth
And to let people see you
for the real you

You have a chance
To be a leader of the pack
And I don't think that things
Can get any better than that

Fake people think
That they can lie to get what they want
But what they want
Doesn't accept false identity
All that they ask for
Is an ounce of simplicity

Fake people think
that when people tell them the truth
they are the enemy
But all they are trying to do
Is mold you into the person they know you can be
Because deep down inside
I know the real you is a star
And I think that it's time for the fake you
And the real you to depart

Trust me
You don't want to go down that road
Because people Don't have to be rocket scientists to know
That a fake person is living in our society
Lucky for us real people
That we have a variety

Fake people think
That they are being real
But there is no real way to be fake

Maybe that will teach them
To put some thought into the decisions
That they make

I will always try to be me
And nobody else
Because if I did
It would be very easy for you to tell

Sometimes fake people Are hard to believe
And they never realize
What the real person within them can achieve
You should rise
From underneath all that clutter
Because there is only one you
And there will never be another
And so the lesson here
Has been discovered
To never become a fake
..........Or you will suffer

~ In This Life ~

2011-08-23T07:46:00.002+08:00

In this life ......

In this life we need insight to follow the light

In this life we must do just what is right

In this life for many survival is a fight

In this life for some comfort is out of sight

In this life not all will find it pretty and bright

In this life belief will bring us relief

Then Let's live faithful with hope,

Keep on believing in the words of Allah

Follow not those who are proud

As only in Allah's word

In this life we'll ever learn how to cope

In this life belief will bring relief

In this life everything has an end

In this life our lives He just lend

However there will come a time

According to His words

Hereafter life will be happy and bright

In this life only belief will bring us relief

In this life we need His mercy and grace

In this life however hard be your case

Make no waste but with Him keep the pace

In this life belief will bring us relief.

~ Love and Hate ~

~Love and Hate ~

High and low

love and hate

how alike but not the same

both are pursed

with intensity and passion

each igniting an inner flame

If we had never climbed

the mountain

would we know

how low the valley

If we had not suffered

the pain of heartache

would we feel

the wonder of love

Is it safer to hide from the world

in a illusion of contentment

but then what would we

have to say of life

other than the safe haven

we have endured

Thus climbing the mountains

exploring the depths

living and loving

as if there is no tomorrow

knowing you have endured

the worst

enjoyed in full the elixir of life

by living each day your way

as it was meant to be

~ Keep Walking ~

2011-07-30T15:47:00.003+08:00

Here we stand together,

Dressed in our pain,
Covered with scars
From wounds we did not ask for
Or deserve.

So what now?

We can't go back and relive our lives.
We can't take back the innocence we lost
Or make the sadness we felt into happiness.

But we can go on from here,
So let us start.

Stretch out your hand
Close your eyes
And slowly let the pain slip away.
Let go of the sadness;
It belongs to yesterday,
And let's walk.

The earth is firm beneath our feet.
The sun is warm on our face.
Smiles at our effort,
And sends us strength.

My friends, we can't stay, looking back,
Lest we falter.
We must face forward,
Eyes wide open,
And keep on walking.

Hold tight and don't let go;
You aren't walking alone,
And neither am I.

~ Sacred Journey ~

2011-07-28T21:17:00.002+08:00

A Sacred Journey ...........

Birth is a beginning and death a destination And life is a journey: From childhood to maturity and youth to age

From innocence to awareness and ignorance to knowing

From foolishness to desecration and then perhaps to wisdom.

From weakness to strength or from strength to weakness and often back again

From health to sickness and we pray to health again.

From offense to forgiveness from loneliness to love from joy to gratitude from pain to compassion from grief to understanding from fear to faith.

From defeat to defeat to defeat until looking backwards or ahead

We see that victory lies not at some high point along the way but in having made the journey step by step a sacred pilgrimage.

Birth is a beginning and death a destination And life is a journey A sacred journey to life everlasting.

~ Emotions ~

2011-07-25T23:04:00.005+08:00

All it takes is a split second for our emotions to turn,

Once a spit ball of fire, now feeling the burn.

They can have a negative or a positive hold,

Emotions are two fold.

How to go from feeling so full of life to feeling so empty,

How to go from smiling to crying in distraught empathy,

How to go from having it all, to feeling like all has been taken,

How to go from being always on his mind to being forgotten.

So much we don’t understand,

We find ourselves asking for a helping hand.

We raise our arms

Seeking spiritual guidance and love.

It’s up to you to get your emotions in check,

Will you allow the blind disappointment to reap havoc?

Don’t cripple yourself emotionally and disable your ability to go on,

See the divine stepping stone laid out before for you, and move beyond.

~ If Life Were So Easy ~

2011-07-25T22:52:00.003+08:00

If life were so easy
there would be nothing here to learn.
Fault may be easy to find
in a moment’s confusion
But true love endures
and is deeper than any allusion

Each one of us is good,
bad and ugly as we endure our fears
But she will not let fear run her

Fault to find ... yes
and blame to be placed .... yes
that would be too easy to do

To grow romance
to build the bridge
one day at a time ... is her desire
If moment-to-moment
is the only option so be it,
she will do what is required
Sure in her heart what she wants
and where she wishes to be
She opens her heart,
risks her soul,
so her true self he may see

Having done all she can
she sends healing love
and says good night

Trusting with all her being
that the situation will work out all right
She rests her head on her pillow
and sends her prayer
She knows this love is real
and any struggle it will transcend.

~ The Cage ~

2011-07-23T00:53:00.004+08:00

I stare beyond at the open spaces

that exist between the bars.

My colors once alive and radiant

now dimmed by artificial light

My voice once filled with song

silenced.

Captured.
Held too long inside this cell.
My soul confined.
I am still.
Joyful no more.

Day passes after endless day
without change.
No escape in sight
No way to end my turmoil.

Faces used to glow
from my cheerful songs.
Now they only mirror anger
because I no longer bring them joy.
The songbird without a song
a heart lost,
unable to utter a lone note.

A friendly breeze rustles the latch,
with the first rays of light.
My door cracks open just enough.
Long confined by these heavy bars,
I stretch my tattered wings,
And break forth into the air
and freedom.

No longer held against my will
contained.
Never again a prisoner.
I dance with other carefree spirits on the wind
in a celebration of life.

As I discover the dawn,
the song returns to my heart
My wings unfold in the new day’s sun.
now resplendent, glowing.
My soul reborn.
Alive,
I fly to greet the new world.

~ In Silence .... I Think Of You ~

2011-07-22T01:11:00.005+08:00

No words I write can ever say,
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by
the loneliness grows,
How I miss you... nobody knows.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
But all I have are memories.

No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep.
But the love I have for you,
Is in my heart and mine to keep.
I never stopped loving you,
I don't think I ever will.
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.

Heartaches in this world are many,
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you... and miss you so."
The things I feel so deeply,
Are often the hardest things to say.

But I just can't keep quiet anymore,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart,
That no one else can fill.
I love you...
and I always will.

~ Smile ~

2011-07-08T14:35:00.004+08:00

Think, if in life we are condemned to carry
a bag containing the sorrows on our backs,
just collecting them, never able to throw any
and not allowed to put there no happy ones.

“Pockets can only hold so many sorrows”
she said, as she went away carrying her bag,
hoping that from somewhere will come
to ease the weight, that beloved helping hand.

Pockets are small, not too much space there
to hold bigger sorrows that were pick up in life,
only, should you will be pocketing all of them…
if so, could you tell me for heaven’s sake, why?

Your pockets should be full of happy memories,
let fall that full of sorrows riding on your back
heavy reminder of things that are not anymore,
and if you must carry anything…carry smiles.

(iqbal)

~ Live Your Life ~

2011-07-07T23:56:00.002+08:00

The past is gone, but Now is Forever.
The future does not lie in our hands,
But the future lies in the hands of the Presents.
Go out and grasp the seconds of the day
As if you had only that day to live
Experience and enjoy the moments of your life.
We only have one life to live,
So live it like a champion.

Everyone was put here for a purpose,
So let that purpose rise up above and show
Every what you're made of.

I'm not telling you how you should live,
But how you should feel when you look back
at the memories of a once-upon life of yours.

Don't regret things later.
If you feel it is right, do it.
It's your life and nobody else

Make decisions that please you.
Let nobody put you down.
Don't live in anybody's shadows or dreams.
If you do have a dream, act on it
And it will probably come true.

~ As I Watched You Go ~

2011-06-29T00:33:00.004+08:00

I see your eyes,

one final glance as you look back at me,
and we both know it is time.
Although I swore
I would never have to let you go
It's a promise I cannot keep.

I need to live
and you need to grow.

My heart folds back onto itself
And I just bend my knees and lower my center
To withstand the buffet of the winds
That will blow by me,
and through me
Without you standing there to shelter me.

The tether is cut,
and you are free to fly
and I lose an anchor,
and my cheeks burn,
from the icy wind
and the few tears that sneak past the wall
That I am leaning on
so that I can stand
and watch you go.

And someday soon I think
I will find a haven
Where I can cry the tears
And let the salt water cleanse the wounds
So they can begin to heal
But now is not the time.

One hand raised
I salute you
With a wave of good-bye
Wishing you all the blessings of this earth
And when we meet again
it won't be the same
But we will always know

How much we loved
and trusted
and shared
Victories, losses, adventures
and just the passage of time.

Look back no more
Eyes to the future
And I will just stand here
and watch you go.

~ Who Cares ~

2011-06-25T23:25:00.003+08:00

One fine day I shall walk with my head held high
My back ever so straight
My strides long and purposeful
As I take my walk
I will carry a large bag
Full of everything I need
For work, for play and for looking good
Everything, that is,
Except money
But who cares?

For on this fine day
I will not be alone
I will be walking with those who do not care
About being a size four, fourteen, or forty
About being eighteen, eighty or eight-nine,
With those who are not bothered

Yet they know about dreams and visions
They know about hopes and aspirations
They know that if you work hard enough
Think big enough
Dream large enough
And live long enough
Dreams do come true
And visions do come to life
And that we don't have to die
Before we go to heaven

On this fine day I will walk
Bag full of this and that
My body responding to the warm caress of the sun
And even if it is cold
I will walk free of all the symbols and signifiers that tell me
I am less than who I am

Those I am walking with will know how I feel
We are walking a road we have all paved together
And it is finally taking us to the places we want to go
together

Oh, how I will enjoy my walk
On this fine day

2011-06-18T12:53:00.002+08:00

To Touch The Heart .........

To touch the heart of someone dear
though it might sometimes cause a tear
to fall or rest upon the cheek -
Should be something all should seek.

For often hearts -
not touched at all -
start hardening and shrinking small.

And then the time -
it takes to grow
A loving heart - is very slow.

For hearts expand as those who care -
extend their love and -
let us share a Moment,
space or special phrase
that eases pain on dreary days.

Or simply starts our lips to smile
and brightens time for just a while.
The ways and kinds and means of sharing -
it seems to me -
Are based on caring.

And though we're often worlds apart.
You still can touch my very heart.
You make me smile or shed a tear.
And I'll remember year to year
Just how your 'touching' helped me grow.

And I just thought I'd tell you so.

~ Let Me Love Again ~

2011-06-18T12:34:00.003+08:00

Let Me Love Again ........

Cleanse the Heart
From All Doubts And Fears
Hold It Gently
And Wipe Away The Tears

Turn
All Dreads Of Yesterday
To A Brighter Tomorrow
And Hope Along The Way

That Guides Through The Night
Share The Wings Of Love
On A Lifetime Flight

Take Shelter
From Raging Storms

Hold Me Tight
Safely Cradled Me In Your Arms
And Let Me Love Again ...

~ Voices and Choices ~

2011-06-16T15:10:00.002+08:00

Voices and Choices ..........

The voices and choices
are too much at times
and I need a quiet place
just me and the moon
or me and the sky

a place where
I can hear God whisper
reminding me to breathe
asking me to 'hold on'
and when I hear this
I know everything will be fine

~ Life ~

2011-06-16T15:00:00.005+08:00

Life .........

Life a maze
The never-ending circle
that surrounds us
Running through it
Slowing down

Sometimes missing the very thing
That makes us whole
We are all searching
We are all yearning
We are all needing
and wanting

So often we lose ourselves
And spend so much time trying
To find our way back

We get caught up in our own needs
We forget that which is important
The passions of our inner being
Our love
Stop
look around
and be still
Listen
hear
observe
Feel

~ Secret ~

2011-06-12T02:20:00.004+08:00

Secret .........

Stare at your picture
Can’t help but to wonder
and think about you
Love your smile
Too afraid to tell you
Because then you might think differently

Love the look in your eyes
that I can’t seem to explain
Sometime I tend to let it drive me insane
Or get to the point where it brings me pain

You are my secret
I do adore you
But you’ll remain a secret
Because it wouldn’t be a secret
if I told you

So still, a secret you’ll remain
Even though it brings me heartache and pain
The same pain lets me know that I’m still sane

But a secret
comes a secret pain.

~ Miscommunication ~

2011-06-12T01:39:00.004+08:00

Miscommunication .........

Miscommunication can change a person’s path.
It can alter your opinion, even fill you with wrath.

Always try to eliminate it before you place the blame,
when heated words are said nothing remains the same.

It leads to misunderstanding and breach of trust.
to express ourselves more accurately is definitely a must.

To lose through Miscommunication is a terrible loss,
we may lose something dear to us

We could be the bearer and not even know,
it’s important to lead by example for you reap what you sow.

Have courage to confront, to clear the air.
To leave things unsaid leaves a terrible tears.

~ Man Of My Dreams ~

2011-06-10T02:03:00.000+08:00

Man of my dreams .........

Fill my heart up,
make it whole
Look into my eyes and see my soul
Touch my body
with the tenderness you feel

Hold me in your arms
so I know this is real
His gentle voice speaks softly in my ear
Saying all the words that I long to hear

Desire me
like no other man could
Make passionate love to me
the way a man should
Let me feel your kindness,
strength and love

To know that
you were sent from heaven above
A promise to keep,
to share and remain

Bringing joy and happiness
never causing me pain

Fulfilling my world
deep in the night
I eagerly fall asleep
and await the delight

This man that I speak of
is not what it seems
He is a man that I meet
every night in my dreams.

~ The Road ~

2011-06-07T23:46:00.004+08:00

The Road ........

She walks along the winding road so many turns,
not sure which way to go
She stops to see a familiar road
one she has been down so many times
before It leads to a place of
forbidden happiness and empty love

She walks down this road often
It takes away her loneliness
It is only temporary
She is afraid to take the other roads
for fear of what she might encounter

The uncertainty frightens her
Her heart is bruised
She smiles without true happiness
not quite sure what happiness really is

She wants so much to know
She wants to be able to feel again
The roads of life have been hard
She wonders where the other roads will lead
She hesitates
She struggles
She walks
She comes to the familiar road
and stops

She wants more than that road will bring her
She turns away from that road
and walks on

~ Unending Love ~

2011-06-07T09:26:00.003+08:00

Unending Love ..........

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.


Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.


You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.


Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.




~Rabindranath Tagore

2011-06-06T18:59:00.000+08:00

One Small Rose ......

I would rather have one small rose
From the garden of a friend
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on Earth must end.

I would rather have one pleasant word
In kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still
And my life on Earth has ceased to be.

I would rather have a loving smile
From friends I know are true
Than tears shed round my casket
When this world I've bid Adieu.

Bring me all your flowers today
Whether pink, white or red:
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload when I'm dead.

~ In The Stillness Of The Night ~

2011-05-27T15:38:00.003+08:00

In The Stillness Of The Night ..........

In the stillness of the night

as the candle light flickers

the faint sound of music playing in the background

my heart is lonely

Longing for the echoes of love

that haunts my thoughts

the peace inside me

wants to be shared

to feel………

to touch………

A desire to tap inside
the realm of a profoundly

tender affection to embrace passion

into the depths of my soul

to capture a distinct entity

of another separate

from the body

to exist in time

not of this world…

in the stillness of the night
how my heart does yearn

~ Times in Life ~

2011-05-26T20:53:00.000+08:00

Times in Life ..........

There are times in life
When you feel as if the earth
Has opened up
And swallowed you whole . . .
And you seriously doubt
If you'll ever stop hurting.
And it's then that you need
To realize you can't
“Make everything all right.”

All you can do is survive,
One hour at a time,
Then one day at a time.
But you are not alone.
There are many who care about you
And are ready to lend you their strength
When yours is all gone.

So hang on, because the sun
Will rise again . . .
And though you'll
Never forget,
You will survive this
And go on.

~ Forgive my fear ~

2011-05-21T22:53:00.001+08:00

Forgive my fear .......

I walk on space,
On air so thin
I fear to fall.

Dear God forgive me
For my fear to love
For being so small
In a world so big
Forgive me for not wanting pain
For seeing it first before joy

I know I shouldn’t look first,
At how easily I bruise
Or harden my shell to outside touch,
Or hide within my self,
Or stare with dead eyes

Forgive my fear
Of reaching out over empty spaces,
For taking all the love you give
And giving nothing in turn

When next I shy, nudge me to try
When next I sigh, nudge me to smile
When next love needs, steady my feet
That I may be here,
To brave my fear.

~ Wildflowers ~

2011-05-20T08:56:00.002+08:00

Wildflowers ........

Lord, help me to grow as the wildflowers grow
be it a meadow or a crack in cement.
Despite the terrain, be it good or bad,
let me know I am there by intent.

Instead of my sadly complaining within
regarding life's rough terrain,
May my face, too, look upward to you
through seasons of drought and rain.

Help me to bloom as the wildflowers bloom,
regardless of where I am placed;
wherever the spot You plant me, Lord,
let the air there be sweet with Your grace.

Someday a tired pilgrim may stop to rest
from carrying his heavy load
And thank my Creator for placing me there
to brighten that spot in life's road.

~ The Silent Lover ~

2011-05-09T03:27:00.004+08:00

Infinite bondage strong & stable…
A binding of ‘love which calls silence for the world..

A feeling so deep with passion and wild dreams and fascination
Combined with love, closeness, oneness at heart, laughter and tears…

Sharing pain, pleasure and fire, mild love fights, nagging everything in
One fold….

My silent lover , man of my dreams…
Your smiles can live up many lives

The sparkle in your eyes can lit the moon in the night

And your looks can blossom many flowers..
You brought smile on my dead lips..

And a new meaning in my life and name
I was destined to meet you …

Memories I shall cherish and make my future and smile on…
Dreams have no boundaries….

I shall keep seeing you
even while I close my eyes forever…

~ Unheard Screams ~

2011-05-08T14:58:00.003+08:00

Unheard Screams ........

Pain ripping every nerve

Willing your breath away

Opening your eyes again

Agony's here to stay

How do you escape
Life full of darkness
Every waking moment
Misery and sadness

Sleep the only comfort
Yet so hard to find
Dreams bring some peace
To a tortured souls mind

But dreams never last
Reality must emerge
Waking once again
Your screams never heard

~ Take My Hands ~

2011-05-03T15:06:00.003+08:00

Take My Hands ..........

Needing to feel something
More than just pain
Smiles, joy and laughter
Warmth and love again

Tired of sitting alone
Crying so many tears
Breaking apart inside
Been like this for years

Wanting to scream
Breaking the silence
Hear more than myself
Feeling loves brilliance

Life has become so hard
Pushing through each day
Trying too see some light
Darkness blocks the way

Please come take my hands
It's been way too long
Looking for a way out
Only one place I belong

to be
in someone's heart

~ Destiny ~

2011-04-28T16:56:00.001+08:00

Destiny.........

Destiny sits upon the morning horizon
Always in site, but never clear
And as I travel along the road I have chosen
Destiny remains forever in place
Sitting upon the morning horizon

But as the years pass
And the road spans the distance
Between yesterday and tomorrow
I know my destiny will arrive

For time alone will close the gap
So yesterday becomes dust filled memories
And the horizon of tomorrow
Will be the road of today

For then,
there will be no yesterday or tomorrow,
only today

And when that day arrives
I will find peace and be complete
For I will be one with my destiny

~ Let It Flow ~

2011-04-28T00:45:00.001+08:00

Let It Flow .........



I think about you
all the time.
I know I probably shouldn't,

Destiny
caused us to meet.
Destiny
has brought us together.
Destiny
decided I love you.

So I'm counting on Destiny
to finish what had started.


I don't completely understand
all the circumstances
of our relationship.
I don't know what
goes through your mind


I wish I knew
what you really wanted
deep down
How you see the end.


Do we share
the same perspective?
In your mind,
do we share the future?



And I wonder
if it wasn't
irrational
and even a bit
foolish
to love
without security.



Deep inside
I feel we belong
together...
in love
because I know
you make me happy.
Probably could forever.


I'd give almost anything
to feel this love
unrestricted and free.
Let the whole world see
I love you.


Let it flow...

~ The World ~

2011-04-24T23:27:00.002+08:00

The World ..........

Do not follow a bad law.
Do not live in thoughtlessness.
Do not follow wrong ideas.
Do not be attached to the world.

Arise; do not be thoughtless.
Follow the path of virtue.
The virtuous rest in bliss in this world and in the next.
Follow the path of virtue; do not follow the wrong path.
The virtuous rest in bliss in this world and in the next.

Look upon the world as a bubble;
look on it as a mirage.
Whoever looks thus upon the world
is not seen by the sovereign of death.
Come, look at this world resembling a painted royal chariot.
The foolish are immersed in it,
but the wise are not attached to it.

The one who formerly was thoughtless
and afterwards became conscientious
lights up this world like the moon when freed from a cloud.
The one whose wrong actions are eradicated by good conduct
lights up this world like the moon when freed from a cloud.

This world is blinded; only a few can see here.
Like birds escaped from the net, a few go to heaven.
The swans go on the path of the sun;
miraculously they fly through the sky.
The wise are led out of this world,
when they have conquered.

~ I Wish You Were An Ocean ~

2011-04-18T05:41:00.006+08:00

I Wish You Were An Ocean ...........

I wish you could hold me
like the ocean embraces the sand,
soaking every grain with it's loving touch.

I am needy when I am around you.
I admit to that.
Is that really a sin
to be so in love with you.

I wish you were an ocean
and I but a grain of sand.
Then I would feel
the love that I desire.

~ Patience ~

2011-04-11T22:53:00.002+08:00

Patience ..........

I am waiting
Though not in stillness as I wait

I am hoping
Though not in despair as I hope

I am dreaming
Though not in darkness as I dream

I am longing
Though not in emptiness as I long

I am trying
Though not in futility as I try

I am learning
Though not in ignorance as I learn

I am becoming
Though not in nothing as I become

I am being
While eternity teaches me patience

~ Sometimes ~

2011-03-21T15:11:00.003+08:00

Sometimes ....

Sometimes we feel alone in the world
losing loved ones
enduring a hardship
experiencing an illness
roadblocks in our normally smooth lives

But God and nature surround us
easing our burdens
and healing our hearts

Time and patience become our friends
they hold our hands
and quietly begin to fill our hearts
with love and joy once again

~ I Like To Think of You .~

2011-03-20T06:24:00.001+08:00

I Like To Think of You ...

I like to hold a thought of you close to me…
In a special place where I can pull it out
To bring a touch of cheer to my day

I like to think about all the things
we have been through

I like to think of you…
Even though ...
You are not mine

Because you’re one of those people
Who really helps to make my world
A richer and a happier place

The years will come and go
And I know things will change
But the memories I have of you
In my heart will always remain

Silent Connection .........

No communication
Total silence,
an endless abyss.

It hurts my ears,
it hurts my eyes,
it hurts my heart
I yearn to hear,
to know,
to feel.

Where are you?
Where have you gone?
What are you doing,
thinking,
dreaming?

There is such a void where
the words used to live
Only loneliness.

The words have gone,
but the connection still lives.

You're in
my thoughts,
my dreams,
my heart,
my soul.

We may be silent
but forever connected.

The Oceans Shore ........

As I walk along the oceans shore...
The feeling of peace, longing for more...
As I sit upon soft wet sand...
The gentle waves, touch my hand...
This Aura of wonder and tranquility...

Stretching as far as my eyes can see...
Watching the reflections move with the flow.
Feeling the comfort, of its inner glow...

Oh how I wish, this feeling would stay...
As I know I must walk away...
Wish I could leave all the hurt, pain and tears...
Behind me along, with all my fears...

Wouldn't it be nice,
if we could leave on that shore...
Feelings that keep in our hearts, ever more...
If I wrote them in the sand,
would they be swept away?

By the waves crashing in,
Gone on their way...
Leaving us free,
of DOUBTS and DESPAIR...

The ocean will handle them,
then we won't care...

The ocean can be such a beautiful place...
As our minds wonder in and out of space.

I know....
We reap whatever we did sow...

I will keep looking, forever more...
But not what I wrote,

on that OCEANS SHORE.....

2011-02-23T01:02:00.002+08:00

Words .........

Soft and gentle without a cause,
Words running towards a light that moves
Where to go after a pain like this and what to do
It’s hard to say the right thing at the right time
when all you want to do is express who you are.
Pain, sorrow and anger is all words create sometimes.
How do you know when to say a word or keep your mouth shut?

Kind words are less spoken in these times and
more and more people are hurt by it than actions
It dries a heart that was ones filled with love
and now where does it lead
To dust and dust alone

Caring has been put aside and
anger and deceit has risen instead
why does this occur in such a violent way
It opens doors that should have been kept shut
and closes doors that should be open;

One brick at a time they say
In the end the wall around you will be finished
and you’ll be safe from the world outside
Now the choice is, who to let in and who to keep out
So many people so little trust

Open eyes closed mouth
All you see is a fading life
from colour to grey and grey to black

What is words if there is no meaning.
Words from the heart is better said
than words without a heart;

~ My Prayer ~

2011-02-19T03:21:00.002+08:00

I pray
Today
That Allah will bring you
Peace
Where there’s been pain
Harmony
Where there’s been discord
Love
Where there’s been loneliness

I pray
Today
That Allah will bring you
Solace
Where there’s been sorrow
Justice
Where there’s been inequality
Clarity
Where there’s been chaos

I pray
Today
That Allah will heal your heart
and help you face tomorrow
With a renewed sense of
Courage
Strength
And wisdom.

~ Love Is ~

Love is ...

Love is
being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the other person
when they are sad
being together in good times
and being together in bad times
Love is the source of strength

Love is
being honest with yourself
at all times
being honest with the other person
at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth
and never pretending
Love is the source of reality
Love is
an understanding that is so complete
that you feel as if you are a part
of the other person
accepting the other person
just the way they are
and not trying to change them
to be something else
Love is the source of unity

Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences
with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth
of another individual
Love is the source of success

Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future

Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm of the rainbow
Love is the source of passion

Love is giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each
other's needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing

Love is
knowing that the other person
will always be with you regardless
of what happens
missing the other person
when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security

Love is the
source of life

~ Keep Walking ~

2011-02-10T02:02:00.002+08:00

Keep walking ...........

Here we stand
Dressed in pain,
Covered with scars
From wounds
We did not ask for Or deserve.

So what now?
We can't go back and relive our lives.

We can't take back the innocence we lost
Or make the sadness we felt into happiness.

But we can go on from here
So let us start
Stretch out our hand
Close our eyes
And slowly let the pain slip away
Let go of the sadness
It belongs to yesterday
And let's walk.

The earth is firm beneath our feet
The sun is warm on our face
Smiles at our effort
And sends us strength.

We can't stay, looking back,
Lest we falter.
We must face forward,
Eyes wide open,
And keep on walking

..........and keep walking

Have you ever ......

Have you ever loved somebody so much
that it hurts?

Have you ever loved somebody so much
that you cant sleep?

Have you ever loved somebody
that didn't know that you exist?

Have you ever loved somebody
who don't feel the same?

Have you ever loved somebody
who's in love with another person?

Have you ever loved some body
who don't even know you love them so very much?

Have you ever...
