Thinking Of Someone Special

Thinking Of Someone Special
As I start a brand new day
Wishing I could see them
Knowing they're far away

Wondering when I'll get a chance
To hold them in my arms
Hoping that they feel the same
For this time we are apart

Thinking of someone special
Knowing that I must wait
Dreaming of them every night
While still talking every day

Thinking of someone special
Till that day when we unite
So that I can tell them face to face
They are special in my life

Thinking of someone special

Secret Of The Soul

Im opening up a window
In the center of my soul
So all the world can finally see
This secret that I hold

This secret that I share with you
Is precious to my heart
Hidden for so very long
That I dont know where to start

My secret tells a story
Of two soul's lost in time
And of a love that has been found
Between your heart and mine

A secret life of loving you
Hiding feeling deep inside
While knowing what I wanted most
Was to have you by my side

As tender mercy turns the page
I  know now  it is time
I will spend my future in your arms
And start a brand new life

So im openimg up a window
In the center of my soul
So all the world can finally see
This secret that I hold

Have You Ever Lost A Smile

Have you ever lost a smile
One you wished that you had back
A smile you lost freely
When a smile was all you had

Did you see the smile on their face
As they walked out of the room
Were you happy that you lost it
Because it changed their point of view

Have you ever lost a smile
That you gave to someone else
Did they take the smile and keep it
Or did they pass the smile around

A smile lost just may be found
If you look around the room
Someone else may have a smile
One that they dont mind you use

You can loose a smile every day
And still have one to loose
If you loose a smile to someone else
And a smile comes back to you

Smile

Test Of Time

There is a feeling of excitement
As we start a brand new love
Not knowing what the other feels
And not wanting to mess up

So I try to show my best side
In a hope that they will see
The person that I really am
Not just the outer me

It takes some time to understand
What a person's really like
To see if what they are inside
Is more then meets the eye

That excitement of that someone new
Over time will fade away
It is only then that we will know
If the love was meant to stay

So I will not rush to fall in love
Or to call that person mine
For only then will true love grow
And stand the test of of time

Today

Today I do this just for me
I start to care for what I need
Listen to what I feel inside
And allow myself a better life

Today I decide to change my mind
Leave old habits far behind
Realize what was plain to see
That we were never meant to be

Today I let go the past
Find new love and make it last
Allow my soul to be renewed
And give my heart to someone new

Today move forward and never back
I embrace the future and leave the past
The memory of you I now let go
Today I wanted you to know
Today

Best Friends And Birthdays

Your friendship means the world to me
I hold this dear and hope you see
Although I do not call each day
My friendship never goes away

With each new year our birthdays come
A reminder of a friends true love
Always there in a time of need
Me for you and you for me

There are memories of special times
Cherished moments in our minds
A past that we both hold so dear
For another friend no longer here

True friendships stand the test of time
Through thick and thin , day and night
Although many weeks they may pass
Our friendship will forever last

Please know this friendship I hold dear
It has stayed so strong through many years
True best friends are hard to find
I am proud to say that you are mine

Best Friends

My New Found Fashion Trend

You know I never really understood
How they wear their pants that way
Pull them down to their knees
And walk around all day

But they say it is the fashion
It's a new trend I should try
That underwear is very cool
And catches peoples eyes

So I decided I should try it
I pulled my pants down way too far
Then to show the world how hip I was
I walked through Central Park

All the children were excited
I saw them point my way
They even told their teacher
But she made them look the other way

Well then two cop's they came running
I assumed to see my style
I thought my trend was catching on
But the cop's they didn't smile

Those cops they'd start a new trend
One I didnt like as much
They put my hands behind my back
And slapped on silver cuffs

Now this jail cell seems so small
With this big man next to me
He says he'll be my best friend
And that he likes just what he sees

So glad to see the courtroom
Filled with people from the streets
But they say rethink your fashion trend
If you're wearing a G-String

Now the judge he was not happy
But he did not give me time
He said wear a G-String where you want
No one can take that right

You see the Judge he wore a G-String
Underneath his long black robe
He did not find me guilty
So a free man I could go

So I walked outside of the courtroom
As a free man once again
And became so very famous
For my new found Fashion Trend
