I am thankful....for .... life

I am Thankful....for....Life

I am thankful

for those who stood by me

who told me 

that I could be

and could do anything

Those who when I was broken

when I was hurt and bleeding

picked me back up....

and who helped me....

to put the pieces of my life

back together again.

I am thankful 

for a little someone

who protected me

who kept me from harm

on a cold dark lonely night

I am forever grateful

for her stormy attitude

that I miss so much

and that for a time

for a very short but amazing time

was not only mans best friend

but she was my hero

and my best friend.

I am thankful

for the unknown

that catches us all unguarded

yet brings us....

both joy and sorrow

and fills our life's with adventure...

and the hidden yet memorizing unknown.

I am thankful

so very thankful

for ever little thing...

both the good and the bad

that have turned me 

turned me upside down...

and inside out....and back again.

I am grateful for it all.....

for without. . . 

the pain

the hurt

the confusion

the laughter

and the memories....

I would be no one

 and I would never truly

know or understand 

the true meaning....

the true meaning of......life.

My Something

My Something

Walking...Running

and trying to fly 

I catch something 

something from afar 

Something special 

something extrodinary 

something unique 

and something completly differnt

As you told me.. goodbye 

I fell to my knees.. and I cried

Yet as I cried 

Something whispered...

       Stand

As I looked around

I saw no one

yet once again someone whispered...

       Stand...Stand 

       and take control

       take the bad with the good

       and leave the tears behind

As my tears fell 

my eyes glance all around

Seeking.....

Searching...

and Looking for that voice

asking myself where it came from

I heard it once again

As it quietly whispered

       Stand...dont fall

       But if you do get back up.

As I looked 

I felf something

Something from within

As it began to stir

I felt myself glow from within

With something....

something unnamable

Yet as it started to glow

my tears began to leave

and my face was filled 

was filled with a smile

a smile to brightne my world

and as my life started to make sense

and as the unnameable feeling

 found its name

my soul took off

onto a quest to find

and to obtain

something that defys all explaxation

As the spirit of the lord 

filled me from inside out

my world changed

the drapes covering my windows

blocking all my light

fell to the ground 

I took flight

and as I took flight 

I landed in the outstreched arms

.. of my Lord..

Unexpected

Unexpected 

When you think....

                       you know....

          you turn around years down the road....

To only find....

                  that you knew nothing....

It leaves you to wonder....

To guess and to think....

                                but then once again...your left

Left to question....

                       your very soul

You glance around you....

                                  Searching....

                                  Seeking....

                                              and looking...for something....

                                                                                       for someone...

To give your life meaning....

A reason to smile...at nothing....

                                            To smile just because...you can 

                                                                because...you can picture it, or that someone....

That makes you complete....

Yet then as you grab a hold....

                                         a hold of it....

                                                         you find that you don't know....

                                                                                                   you don't know...what to do...

                                                                                                   you don't know... how to act...

                                                                                             you don't realize how important they or it is...

At least not in tell its gone

Not in tell they leave

Not in tell your world goes back to the old....to a time...to a place...where it and they do not exists........

I Wish . . . . In Vain

I Wish . . . . In Vain

I am walking

around and around

passing the same places

the same people 

over and over again

I am seeing the same things

and experiencing them 

over and over again

I see them coming

and I start to run

I see the past 

once again my future

and I run

I try to run away from it all

I try to avoid the crash

but it comes 

It seems to chase me

and reach for me

Then as it grabs me

what little happiness I knew 

is once again gone for awhile

Over and over again 

this is the game I play

a game of life 

that I do not like

yet I can not avoid

I try to smile...so that I can be happy

yet a smile only brings a false face to a show

a show that I cannot and will not be apart of

Once again its not so bad

its not the worse that has hit me 

yet still as I cry.. I wish ... 

I wish for the impossible....

I wish for a hug to come that will never end

I wish for happier times to never leave me ... 

I wish...I wish...

but in the end I wish in vain. . .

The Road Ahead ( J & E)

( J & E )

hand in hand

we dance away

to a place of laughter and cheer

as we open a doorway

to a world full of magic 

and love

as we glide side by side

taking a chance 

to just be ourselfs

as the road ahead is laid before us 

we walk down the pathway 

the pathway of love...

Someone Forever

Someone Forever

I know someone 

Someone who makes me smile

a special someone who inspires me to laugh

this someone is amazing

and crazily unique

this someone is in my heart

and in my mind on a consant winding line

as tha special someone rills in the line

as caught on it as a 

fire to a log

and if this were to be

to be true, and have not an end

this someone could be

my someone forever.

You

You

You walk

   You dance

You shout

    and You pout

Yet all in all 

    I still love you. . .
