I was lost in a world of my own
Traveling through the valleys of my mind
Where there was only space and no time.
A place where minds go to be free
And musicians playing in harmony.

Where voices of the best singers
Would gather around and put
Together the greatest sounds.

A place where you can be yourself
And not have to listen to anyone else.
A place where you can be lost in
the thoughts of your mind
And be there till the ends of your time
A place of imaginations and dreams
And of places seen and unseen.
Everyone no matter who they may be
Has been in this place of mystery.

We start off when we’re very young
A place that we go to have some fun.
Then as we get into our teenage years
We start to travel more and lose our fears.
We start to visualize what we would
Like to be, set our goals, and set
Our hearts and minds free.
  
Our hearts and spirit so clear and bright
Which turns our darkness into light.
All we see is the clear path ahead
Where so many before have tread.

So allow yourself to get lost in
The caverns of your mind
You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find.

Puffs of clouds covered the sky
Like my thoughts of you and I.
At times I could see and think clearly
But my mind would get weary.

Those puffs of clouds would take control
And my heart it would hold.
It’s amazing how it could be
That the clouds are like you and me.

When the clouds get dark and grey
We become defensive in every way
And the fights come into play.

And when clouds are a misty white
I want to make love to you day and night.
And when the clouds look like ripples in the sand
I want to squeeze you and hold your hand.

And when the clouds completely cover the sky
I thank god you’re by my side.

How do you describe marriage?
It’s hard to define ! And even harder
To put it into verse and rhyme.

So many descriptions and explanations
Which make it hard to choose
I guess I have to put myself into a mood.

Marriage is the joining of two hearts into one
Like when the moon meets the sun.
One welcomes the other into their heart and soul
A beauty such as this is hard to behold.

If I could one day shoot across the sky
You would be by my side.
I’d climb upon that shooting star
And our love would travel far.

People would look up to the sky
And be able to see you and I.
Our love would be spoken of in all
Corners of the world as the universal love
There can be no greater love
Than our love for each other.

For the steps of love is not hard to do
You just have to follow through,
And give each other a helping hand
And find a ground on which to stand.
And once you have accomplished this
You’ll know that you been blessed
From above -with this eternal love.

So many children are waiting in the wings
For being adopted is their thing.
Afraid to make plans for they don’t know
What lies ahead - their future is something
That they do dread.

Some move from home to home and never
Finding where they belong.
Many were abandoned and left on the street
With just their clothes on their backs and no food to eat.

Some were newborns left at police stations
Fire stations , and at church doors
Never to see their parents any more.

They have dreams like so many others
But they would prefer to have parents
And a sister or brother.

A person that they could say that- this is my mom
And this is my dad and I’m proud and awfully glad.
That I have parents as so many other children do
And knowing what it is to be loved like you.

We are all adoptable if given a chance
Look in our hearts and you’ll understand.
We don’t know why we was abandoned
Or what we had done wrong, but with
Parents is where we belong.

I’ll wipe away my tears so that you could see
The love and pain that’s inside of me.
If you can’t have children or have a kind heart
Then adoption is where you can start.

So many of my brothers and sisters are traveling this road
What’s expected is really unknown.
Death and destruction all around
Gunfire is the only sound.

War is really a living hell
Especially when you find out
Your best friend fell.
Innocent children sitting in the debris
Asking “ what’s going to happen to me?’
We have the technology to send people into space
What’s going on with the human race?
There is fear etched on every child s face.

Why don’t we use the brains that we’ve been given
To find peace and keep on living.
Wars have been going on since the beginning of man
Why can’t we search for peace?
What’s to understand !

There are insects and bugs, such as ants and bees
Who is in charge by their queen.
They have armies which they control
And they’re used to maintain their environment
In which they live, and do not use them for war.
So why can’t we follow their lead and settle our scores.

We **** other human beings to feel alive
Animals **** just to survive .
We say that they are the animals
So I guess we must be the beast
For on others miseries we do feast.
We fight for land, and we fight for power
Then what will happen in our final hours
Will we fight the temptation
to beg for our salvation.

If you could stir up peoples thoughts and feelings
Without making a sound.
                    Why not?
If you could get them to stop all the evil that’s around.
                     Why not?
If you can get them to look into their hearts and souls
And see that god gave them something made of gold.
                      Why not?
If you could help to take away the suffering and the pain
And people would all be the same.
                       Why not?
If you could feed all the children in the world
Every little boy and girl.
                        Why not?
If you could make people feel like they’ve
Accomplished a goal in their life.
                        Why not?    
If you could help to take away the
children s cancers or m. s. and polio.
                        Why not?                  
You have to start someplace !
                        Why not? With yourself !
