Once
You held my hand
it gave me courage ,
alone to stand-
I know i had to try
lift my spirit way up high
Like i could touch the full moon
In the  sky
When once you held my hand

Once
You softly said to me
Forever and for always
With you i"ll be
It gave me strength
To look inside
To know i"d make it
someday
be free
When once you softly said to me

Once
You stood right next to me
We listened as the waves
Ebb in
From the wide  sea
Never had i known the truth
That someday i'd be losing you
When once you stood next to me

And i remember
How Still your peacefull gaze
Your eyes
That beckoned freedom
From this earthly space
And all the pain
You delt with
That i couldn't take
Away from you
May Heaven welcome back you-
And i recall
The moment when your
Breath subsided
I turned my face from you
To only try and hide
these tears i had
in my eyes
Knowing as your hand
slipped from mine-
No fear and without sorrow
You will ever again know


And now
Im thinking back on once ago
The days we had
I thought that would never go
With only the memory
Of once before
I keep with me
May truth
Reach you from this mortal shore-
And
I still believe in someday
Having once just once more
UnTill then,
I will try to carry forth
Looking at the star point north
Knowing
You are lookin down
on me

Once more.....

If God were to grant wishes
What would yours be?
If God granted your dreams
Would you then be free?
What would you ask of Him
What would your heart desire?
Would your life be better
If you got your souls require?
And think of this:
Would you still need God
After your desire is fulfilled
And youve received all you wanted
Would you be just thrilled?
I honestly tell you
This is not how He works
For instead of being overlooked
He gives you what you need
Not what you thought He should
For then He looks after you
And you get what is good
For what you want
Seldom is what you realy need
But what He gives you instead
Is the best you will get
And this is the truth
If God ever do

Do i ever find myself
Living a life
That isnt real?
Being in a world
Thats only surreal?
Dreaming a day
That wont ever be
Longing for something
I cant ever see?
Hope seems so
Far from reach
Today becomes tomorrow
Yet i am not free.
Yesterday seems better
Gone and redeemed
Bringing me only
More sorrow than glee-
And this is true
Im not living realy
Im longing and waiting
For deaths release:
From the live
Im not living
To the live
That wont be
Do i ever find
Living becomes survival
Indeed?
Dont tell me
Be thankfull!
You live in paradise!!!
When i am not living
Inside i have strife-
For something else
A world and a "being"
Thats always surreal
Do i find myself living
Life thats unreal???

In honesty spoken
Im not indeed
For the moment
Thats "being"
Defys me- succeed,
Im wasted and broken
And hopeless unspoken
Living for noting
Im living
Indeed,
And Life becomes
Unreal
And LIFE INDEED...

From up Above
Mercy rain down
like droplets Of Love
Kept in a clove
Droplets of hope
like flight of a dove
Bringing your heart
secrets unkept
Memories stained
in tears that are wept
Lifting your Soul
It carries you home
Guiding light
reflects what is said
Prayer for the journey
The road outstretched
Like stars in the night sky
Shining so bright
Raining down on me
From up Above

They say time is ever fleeting
That todays not yours to keep
But all alone in dreamin
i hold you close to me

They say moments turn to gold
When a memory you hold
Deep within your lonely soul
Of tales gone by and told

They say lifes an ending journey
Once your born just to grow old
And as sure as rain will fall
You die and thats just  all

But what they never spoke off
Things you ought to know
Is if you find a true love
You find that keeps you whole
And spending days with someone
Time youre not alone
It guides you to a rainbow
And at its end is Home
So listen not to what they say
And you will be ok
I am right beside you
Every step you take

And time becomes eternal
Life -only begun
Forever turns to always
Each moment carries on
