Suicide,
So Hard To Understand

Suicide,
So hard to understand
When it takes someone we know
It makes us stop and think about
The pain they may have shown
We talk about the life they lived
Reflect upon their past
All the things both good and bad
The memories that will last
Their action ends the pain for them
A hurt that's deep inside
But for family, friends and those who loved
We still wonder why
No longer will we hear their voice
See their smile or hold their hands
We cry and say our sweet goodbyes
Suicide,
So hard to understand

Goodbye I Need To Say

My heart breaks a little more
As we slowly fade away
Knowing that with each new day
Goodbye I need to say

I need to find the courage
To look you in the eyes
Do the one thing I must do
And not live a life of lies

I need to reach deep inside
Say the words I know are true
That I no longer feel the love
That I once felt for you

I hope one day you'll understand
Learn to live and love again
For you deserve more in life
Then what I now can give

My heart breaks a little more
As we slowly fade away
Knowing that with each new day
Goodbye I need to say

Filled With Lessons Learned

You are born with the life God gives you
Will die with the life you've earned
So take the time that's in between
And fill it with lessons learned

Give yourself to others
Work harder then the rest
Live your life and do what's right
Just trying to do your best

Show the world something new
Give more then you take
Understand different points of view
And love more than you hate

Place a smile on a child's face
Make someone's dreams come true
Open up your heart and soul
And say more I love you's'

You are born with the life God gives you
Will die with the life you've earned
So take the time that's in between
And fill it with lessons learned

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

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

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
