This tree
Is a first kiss
A wedding
A first house
A first child
A first Christmas together

This tree
Is our tree
Of our lives
So lets's nourish it and help it grow.

The words flow through me
Like a river stream
Passing over pebbles
Leading me to my next dream

Past a meadow
With tall flowing grass
Wind in trees
At peace, at last

The sun warming the top of my skin
Filling me with sunshine
All from within

The words remind me
All of life
Can be full of happiness
Or great strife

So I'll remember at the darkest of times
To be glad of what I have
All that's mine

While I could be complaining about life
Someone is struggling for theirs
I want to let them know
Somebody in this world cares

The words can help
The words can hurt
Help you feel safe
Or keep you alert

Words are just words
But can mean so much.

I am frozen
At the scene of the crash
Behind the camera
In the front seat
Seeing the camera flash

I am frozen
Lying cold
Heart stopped
Complete silence

I am frozen
Behind the camera
Tears sliding down my cheek
As the reporter talks on
Thinking about my family, my loved ones
Who could easily be gone within a week


I am frozen
At where it all happened
Only seconds ago
Said goodbye to my loved ones
Only not to know
That last goodbye was truly the last.
