Be the change you want to see
Try not to judge, let others be
The rain will stop, the storm shall pass
Pleasure is pleasing and love can last

Set up for sorrow, it's hard to see
Open your eyes, switch off your tv
Put down the remote and venture outside
Get out in to nature where healing resides

Turn off your phone, log off the net
You'll be surprised with the solace you get
Write a poem, cook a nice meal
Declare your love, see how it feels

Put away the plastic, stop doing your hair
Go back to basics, even though it's rare
Laugh at your troubles, hug it out
Why are you frowning, what's that all about
A sign of the times, the information age
Escape from the trap, break out of your cage

Tell me now, how do you feel
Please keep it up, do we have a deal
Memories last but gadgets do not
Live your life fully, run from the rot

The person who broke your heart, can never be the person who will fix it..... stop looking for happiness in the same place that made you sad... stop looking to be fixed by the same people that broke you.

I fear that it will be over
Yet, I see no end to this pain
What did we get with this struggle
How did anything change from this strain

You act like it is o.k.
That I won't walk away feeling ashamed
That I didn't kiss you, love you
Made you feel worthy in every way

Time heals everything
That's what you sang
Everything except you
Time can't heal lifeless pangs

You were the missing piece
Love in endless refrain
My silence is screaming to tell you
That you gave my heart the chance to change

I learn more about you every moment
Working with you kept me sane
I knew you for so little of life
So how do you make me wish so much to stay

I knew you for a year, a year.
Loved you for what can only be days
But I have been connected to you for an eternity
My lost soul piece found, yet, never allowed to be one in the same.

I walk through the garden,
On this warm summer's day,
To smell the flowers,
That grandma raised.

In the middle,
Of this garden of gold,
Stood this one,
Single red stem rose,
The rose means so many things,
From the ones you receive on your wedding day,
To the one you get on Valentine's Day,
But this single rose standing here today,
Represents the love grandma gave.

From the love she gave,
When she planted it that day,
To the love she gave us,
Each and every day,
So when you pass this garden of gold,
Remember the love that this rose holds.
