Pamela O. Rucker

Time passes so quickly there's no time to waste
Spend time with your family, don't hesitate
For you never know if tomorrow will come
Show your love to all, and not just to some
...

Lord I hope you're not finished with me
I'm still trying I pray that you can see
Life on this earth sometimes I can't bare
I feel all alone like no one really cares
...

A red bird was perched upon a tree
As beautiful and free as a bird could be
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly?
To be able to soar as high as the big blue sky
...

Do you know how important you are in my eyes?
You give me the strength each morning to rise
I didn't know you could love a child so much
Till I gave birth to you and felt your gentle touch
...

My mom is full of love and grace
I love the smile upon her face
Even on those cloudy days
She has a heart that's full of praise
...

That exciting moment was finally here, we didn't have to wait any more
It's a girl I heard the doctor say, the joy in my heart cannot be described
We held each other close as we cried with joy till we realized it was quiet
As we turned to look at the doctors they were looking at us in a sad way
...

Do you hear it?
A sound I'll never forget
The sound of dog tags blowing in the chilling wind
And I wonder when I'll see you again
...

GOD’S EXPECTATIONS

You walked through the streets
...

Do you know how true love really feels?
Has your heart ever been broken till it made you cry?
Did you give all your love away only to be returned?
And you find yourself alone wondering why
...

When you're feeling lonely and cold
And you need a loving hand to hold
Then look to Jesus for he's a friend
Who will be by your side until the end
...

I wear my heart upon my sleeve
I've never been one to just turn around and leave
If there's someone that I see who's in need
If I can't help them it makes my soul to bleed
...

You're a part of my life so please don't shut me out
My love for you is strong, there should never be any doubt
You said you don't need your family, you want us to leave you alone
But how would you feel tomorrow if you were awakened and we were gone
...

I was molded by your hands to live upon this earth
How special I must be to have been chosen from my birth
To live upon these lands in such perilous times
In me you found a purpose to help break the ties that bind
...

We have the choice to make life as we want it to be
We can choose to see all the beauty or close our eyes and not see
We can open our hearts to find the love of our lives
Or we can live alone in silence and die alone in the night
...
