As we journey through our lives,
We all take separate paths.
Sometimes they're filled with sorrow,
Other times they're full of laughs.
...

Once again, it's that time of year,
When the world should be full of cheer.
This is the time for peace and love,
As the angels watch from up above.
...

You can't expect me to be something I'm not,
This is who I am and this is what you've got.
I won't pretend to be someone else's dream,
So that I can help with your self-esteem.
...

The world is overrun by violence,
Which absolutely makes no sense.
People could try to be more kind,
If we would see with an open mind.
...

I can't move on into the future,
Without leaving behind the past.
I know I must approach it slowly,
Even when it comes at me fast.
...

Our love is like the wind,
I can't see it but I know it's there.
Our love is like the wind,
It's always like a breath of fresh air.
...

I can feel our passion burn like a fire,
And I'm ready to give in to the desire.
Deep down I can truly begin to admire,
The way our love can take us higher.
...

Children are the future we all would agree,
But what exactly are we allowing them to see?
There's violence and fighting everywhere they turn,
What exactly do we want them to learn?
...

As I follow in his footsteps, I know he'll lead the way.
I get closer to heaven with every passing day.
I'm on the path of righteousness, leading toward the Lord.
Praying and listening as He speaks his mighty word.
...

Watching her sleep is such a peaceful sight
I lay there silently and watch her all night.
She lies there dreaming, about what, I can't say
But here in her life is where I want to stay.
...

When you wake in the morning, to the light of day
And the first thing you see is their smiling face.
When You're overjoyed, and you're filled with pride,
Because you have your lover by your side.
...

As you gaze upon their precious smile,
You'll see what makes it all worthwhile.
You can see how fragile life can really be,
As you gently hold them so delicately.
...

He was born under the brightest star,
And three wise men had traveled so far.
They came bearing gifts for the baby,
Placed in a manger for them to see.
...

From the bluest oceans to the forests so green,
There is so much beauty that can be seen.
From snowcapped mountains to desert sand,
There is so much to see in the promised land.
...

I've made a lot of mistakes in the past,
and there were things I wasn't sure of.
Nothing in my life has been able to last,
but I can always be certain of your love.
...

I'm making this up as I go,
There is no particular reason.
My mind just goes with the flow,
Like the changing of a season.
...

I sit and read those words so eerie, to help create a new theory,
As the dark verses help to get my creative juices to flow.
These thoughts begin inciting my imagination to start writing,
Inner thoughts no longer fighting, concepts are now free to grow.
...

Life can be a gamble,
but you still must roll the dice.
Even if you are a winner,
there still will be sacrifice.
...

As I sit here staring at a blank screen,
I wonder exactly, what does it all mean.
So many thoughts keep coming to my head,
But not sure of what words should be said.
...

Sometimes the road less traveled,
doesn't have to be that way.
People may sometimes be too scared,
to try something new each day.
