Time To Change It Up

Time to change it up
Been doing this long enough
Go and do something new
Create a different point of view

Time to change it up
Been doing this long enough
Give myself room to grow
Look different at the life I know

Time to change it up
Been doing this long enough
Allow for many different goals
All new dreams that I can hold

Time to change it up
Been doing this long enough
Live my life a different way
A new carriers I'll start today

Time to change it up


Carl Joseph Roberts
For all those who are starting new jobs, changing carriers, been laid off or just need a change in life. Time to change it up.
When your heart remembers

When the heart remembers
What you want to forget
The pain felt inside
Is not over yet

You push it down
And say it's not there
It grows in your heart
And you say you don't care

But the hurt is still real
Not just in your head
The sorrow is seen
In tears that are shed

When your heart remembers
What you want to forget
The pain felt inside
Is not over yet


Carl Joseph Roberts
Don't Be Satisfied

*Don't be only satisfied
With having just enough
Always strive for something more
And work for what you want

Give yourself a chance in life
To make your dreams come true
It's okay to help someone
But do what's best for you

Always have a goal in life
Then reach for even more
Past mistakes you must let go
To open those new doors

Never should you close your mind
To learning something new
Push yourself everyday
To make a better you

Don't be only satisfied
With having just enough
Always strive for something more
And work for what you want

Don't be satisfied *

Sealed With A Kiss

Each kiss you place upon my lips
A cherished moment in my mind
A reminder of a love that's shared
Between your heart and mine

As our lips are pressed together
And I slowly close my eyes
A passion builds within my soul
Each and every time

The emotion of a morning kiss
Or an afternoon delight
An evening made of true romance
Or just before we say goodnight

No matter what the time of day
Or the place where we may be
A kiss from you upon my lips
Is all I'll ever need

Our lips they tell a story
Of a love that's held so true
Two hearts that beat now as one
Each time that I kiss you

The Ending Of The World

I was sure the world would end today
It was the beginning of the fall
That others would tell the story
And pass it on to all

Not sure that I would hear the news
I'd  see others on their phones
As they talked about the days events
And wonder if I know

I was sure that this would happen
For the day it started wrong
Realizing as I drove to work
I almost turned to go back home

There was an emptiness inside me
And a panic not the norm
Yet I did not exit on the ramp
For my half way point was gone

So I spent my day just waiting
No connection, all alone
I know that you can feel my pain
For I left my phone at home

The world it did not end today
Was not the beginning of the fall
I realized this when I rushed home
And saw I missed no calls

I am so so not important...lol

*Carl Joseph Roberts
Don't you hate it when your more then half way to work and realize, crap I left my cellphone at home. You are just sure that today will be the day the world will end, the day you really needed it...lol.
If I Could Only See You

If I could only see you
Just one more time again
I would tell you how I feel
Let you see within

Show you all the things you missed
Since you've been away
Give you all the love I have
Ask you to please stay

I wish that you could hear me
And know these words are true
This love I have fills my heart
And will always be for you

They say that time will heal the pain
And this hurt will slowly fade
That deep inside I'll hear your voice
And you'll help me through each day

If I could only see you
Just one more time again
I'd thank you for the time we had
My true love and my best friend

If I could Only see you

*Carl Joseph Roberts
For all those who have loved and lost. It may be a Wife or Husband, Lover, Family Member or Someone Dear. It may be from a Death or Divorce or a Long Term Break Up. This is about the hurt that's felt inside. I hope you can feel this one.
Starting over can be so hard
It makes you stop and think
How many chances do I have
How many will I need

Is there someone out there
Who will truly understand
Become my true companion
And someday take my hand

Will someone get to know me
And like just what they see
Then change my life forever
With the love they give to me

Starting over can be so hard
It makes you stop and think
How many chances do I have
How many will I need
