I believe...
That if everyone would love and respect each other,
the world would be an incredible place.
...

A burst of color,
Vivacious yellow,
An exquisite beauty,
This little fellow.
...

And if I were to tell you
That I hate being near you
It’s a realization
That I’ll never win.
...

I don't think you realize
How much you mean to me.
I try not to show it
But inside's where this love be.
...

Can't you see inside her?
A broken past
Secrets unrevealed
A longing for more?
...

...

You were never there
Throughout all my life,
It’s so hard to deal
With all of this strife.
...

Seated at the piano,
placing my fingers on the keys,
I let the notes sing
the words in my soul.
...

Through the hard times,
Lord,
I will follow you
Abandon all I am
...

Sunlight burns bright
The rays burning strong.
The birds sing sweet melodies
So gentle is their song.
...
