Winter has settled in this barricaded mind
Blocked from existence frozen in time.
It seems hollow on the outside just a blank stare
Until the summer comes around winter fills the air.
Secrets locked in the barricade no one shall ever find
For even when the sun shall rise the barricade is mine.
There is no key to open, nor can you knock it down
For the barricaded mind is built on solid ground.
If you wish to entice me you can add to the mind
But once it's passed the barricade it's frozen in time.
It becomes the secret of an existence never known
For inside the barricade the truth is never shown.
So when you look at me and wonder what you're going to find
Remember there is nothing in this barricaded mind.

Billowy clouds of beautiful dreams
Free as the birds do soar
A soul that is left to wander
Unsure what her purpose is for.
Feelings of sadness overwhelm her
When rainbows of color fill the sky
Then the thought of you crosses her mind
As smiles of sunshine pass her by.
Shiny white, and sparkling beauty
For an Angel who soars in the clouds
Looking down on you each day
She is the Angel of you, her child.

When you feel all hope is gone
You refuse to carry on
Please lift your head to the sky
That is all the reason why

When your heart detects the pain
Tears start to fall like rain
You are loved, so please don't cry
That is all the reason why.

When sorrow pulls you to the ground
Your pain you wish to only drown
The grace of God will get you by
That is all the reason why.

Although a love you cannot see
Love lives for eternity
The heart and soul shall never die
That is all the reason why.

There we were together in the little town cafe'
Neither of us knowing that we were to meet that day
As I sat across the room his stare was quite intense
Once I looked up smiling just to take a quickened glimpse
Although he made me smile by the way he looked at me
Still I never thought my soul mate he could be
I couldn't help but wonder why he was over there
Looking at him sweetly he must have felt my stare
Gently he arose and moseyed closer, near to me
As he sat down at my table, brushed his hand across my knee
My heart began to race, my eyes were all a flutter
Words escaping from my mouth were all but just a stutter
He asked me if I believed in love at first sight
If two hearts could bind together by the moons casting light
Shall the stars dance before us in our glory we've yet to see
Or shall we dance together and let the feel of love proceed
For if the night shall vanish without a kiss from you
I'm afraid that come tomorrow I'll know not what to do
This couldn't be for real, a dream perhaps I'm in
Maybe my imagination is playing tricks on me again
As he touched my hands with the gentle feel of his
It felt as though I floated, deep into a midnights bliss
Do I believe in love, love at first sight
I didn't believe in much until this very night
As he leaned across the table, his hand touching my cheek
Our lips were drawing nearer, my body was becoming weak
Though I fell into a trance as our lips did embrace
Never will I forget the look upon his face
It was as if he'd known me forever, though I'm sure we'd never met
Thank you God for allowing me, this night I'll never forget
Was this more than just reality, maybe it was my wish
Something about that night, it didn't vanish without a kiss
Although the night decreased rapidly turning into a beautiful day
Our hearts were bound as one that night together they shall stay.

God gave to me, you.
He brought unto my life a ray of illumination,
Knowing that you could brighten my very existence,
Being that I needed nothing more than a noble friend.
One to escort me through complex situations,
To instruct me to keep my head raised high,
To smile in even the most strenuous contingency,
Most of all to just be my own authority.
You have taught me how to weather the storms,
How to turn heartless situations into honorable,
How to deliver smiles unto the saddest at heart,
How to love unconditionally with everything I have,
Strive to be the foremost of what God gave me,
Use my knowledge well, that is what guided you to me,
Always stand firm on the ground that my life, so firm, will rest.
God gave to me, you, because he knew I needed no other!

When the ocean flows onto the shore,
When the sun shines on my face,
When silence becomes quaint to the ears,
When the world is a desolate place,
Will you hold my hand and love me still,
Will you walk me through the desolate days,
Will you hold me in your arms so tight,
Will you make love to me always?
Of all the things in this world,
There's one that I truly need,
It is you my love, my life, my all
It is for you that my life shall plead.
Plead for you to need me,
The ways that I need you,
Plead for you to love me forever,
Until death we shall ever be true.
