Verse #800

We all hold secrets in our heart,
that cannot leave our mind's control,
for fear they would tear us apart,
and leave a chasm in our soul.

Verse #799

Yesterday is history and cannot be undone,
tomorrow is a dream we've lost before it has begun,
today is all the chance we have to be all we can be,
so take a stand and make this day a sight for all to see.

Verse #798

Our souls have travelled far and wide to seek out worthy hosts,
to share with us all they have seen and teach us all they know,
we owe so much of who we are to these immortal ghosts,
so listen to the words they say and let them help you grow.

Verse #797

We cannot see our future if we hide from our own past,
we cannot build a new life on the ashes of the last,
we cannot meet the challenge if we do not stand our ground,
we cannot hope to win a war if peace cannot be found.

Verse #796

Take me to the dawn beyond the darkness of despair,
take my heart towards the light of those who really care,
take me back to find the key to all that's in the past,
take my hand and promise me that all we share will last.

Verse #795

We greet the dawn with hope and joy for all that's yet to be,
a new adventure calling us towards our destiny,
through all the dreams we've shared we've shaped the world we've come to see,
this world where all that we desire exists for you and me.

Verse #794

This life is ever challenging- it gives and it will take,
regardless of the songs we sing or choices that we make,
all we can do is journey on along life's changing path,
and hope that fate will smile on us and spare us from her wrath.

His shadow still walks next to her,
the wind still calls his name,
the days have gone by in a blur,
but still she feels the same.
She curls up with his memory,
for now lost in her dreams,
for all that they had planned to be,
... and never would it seems.
His shadow still walks by her side,
the loss still haunts her mind,
the months have drifted with the tide,
no peace for her to find.
Her heart will learn to trust again,
in time her wounds will heal,
in days to come she'll love again,
despite how she may feel.
His shadow still walks close behind, 
the tears less painful now,
the years lost in the daily grind,
she's learned to cope somehow.
She smiles a bit from time to time,
a little more each day,
a glimpse of something once sublime,
that will return someday.
His shadow still walks next to her,
the pain in shadow too,
the distant days lost in a blur,
a dawn of something new.
Her life is very different now,
all darkness in the past,
all that she feels is love now,
and the faith that it will last.
His shadow still walks in her stead,
the world would hardly know,
the pain still kept deep in her head,
but time has helped her grow.
She now has love to keep her strong,
a partner through life's game,
a son they've both sought for so long,
who shares that long lost name.

Verse #793

No matter where we go from here,
no matter what they say,
trust in our bond and feel no fear,
for love will rule each day.

Verse #792

Nature gives abundantly in all that we could need,
alas she also takes away with equal force and greed,
we bow our heads in sorrow now for all that has been lost,
and shed a tear for every life this devastation cost.

Verse #791

The sun will outlive all of us and stars will still shine when we're gone,
but even once we disappear the love we've shared will linger on,
for even though our names and deeds will sink into the sands of time,
true souls survive beyond this realm to live a life sublime.

Verse #790

Lock me up and chain me down,
paint my world in black and brown,
take my love in your cold frown,
leave me here and let me drown.

Verse #789

Life exists to shape our soul,
to test our will and self control,
to challenge all we hold most dear,
to stand up to all that we fear.

Verse #788

Look deep into the pool of dreams you keep within your soul,
each ripple is a chance to take one dream and make it whole,
the trick is to let each one grow until the time is right,
but don't delay for far too soon they disappear from sight.

Verse #776

In spring we find all that is new and learn from all we see,
in summer we experiment and be all we can be,
in autumn we all settle down and shed each nagging doubt,
in winter we know who we are and what this life's about.

Frozen

Her path was clear and filled with light,  
Her thoughts were pure and ever right,  
Her love secure and passion bright,  
Her faith a beacon through the night.
 She dreamt of life in other lands,  
She wished for more than empty sands,  
She looked for hope in other's hands,  
She found nothing but broken strands.
 Her heart now cold as falling snow,  
Her love crushed like the grass below,  
Her soul turned frozen long ago,  
Her smile now simply there for show.
