Loved Ones Lost
Angela M Coburn Jun 2010
Among us today is sorrow,
of the ones we lost today.
A nation full of agony,
a time for us to pray.
The terror is within us all,
as we mourn the dead.
And through the midst of it all,
a nation we will defend.
The power of the soul,
is what they now will fight.
Our country now with this goal,
as a nation we unite.
Our country is the heartfelt kind,
with lots of love for life.
With this in mind,
we still search for life.
A picture of loved ones lost,
is not all that we have.
The memories within our hearts,
forever they will last.

Lost Within
Angela M Coburn Jun 2010
My mind is full of torment.
My heart full of pain.
I ask of you my angels,
please take this all away.
My thoughts are always wandering,
what for, I do not know.
My pain seems to be deepening.
How will I follow through?
The laughter between us fading,
lost within our past.
How can we find the future,
if the present is all we have.
As I look around the beauty is what I see.
But how to get it back for me?,
is the answer that I seek.
My mind is full of torment.
My heart full of pain.
I ask of you my angels,
please take this all away.

Heaven Sent
Angela M Coburn Jun 2010
It's lonely at the top and it's lonely at the bottom.
'Cause everone has their ups and downs.
Life isn't easy we all know that, but someone up above is looking 'round.
You gotta keep your chin up, you gotta keep a smile.
Everbody's got to have someone to love and laugh awhile.
Looking from a distance you never see alot.
You dont know what is there until it's not.
This is true my friend you really wouldn't know,
until you feel your heart break, then you feel it grow.
Treat your loved one with tenderness
and tell her that you care.
'Cause you wont know what you had, until she's not there.
There comes a time for all of us, our feelings turn apart.
We think that it's the end of love, but it's really just begun.
It makes our hearts grow stronger, and we must carry on.
We will live and love and laugh again,
because it's written in this song.
As time goes by it mends our hearts,
that's what we like to say.
But really deep inside of us it never goes away.
So I think of all the good times the two of us have spent,
and that alone will mend my heart,
'cause it's surely heaven sent.
