She just gets to me
Her eyes bright as day
Her smile leaves me in awe

She smiles and I become lost,
Wonder of beauty comes over me
She just gets to me

She walks strong and tall
A presence of strength and comfort
Her smile leaves me in awe

I look at her and can't help but think of fall
Her voice, an angel speaks
She just gets to me

How does one have such power over me?
Her love grabs me with a devastating claw
Her smile leaves me in awe

Lost as she speaks with angelic phrase
I really hope she stays
Her smile leaves me in awe
She just gets to me

By noon
a day begun
twelve hours before
A thought had taken time away
It is a mystery to me
   how His infinite eyes have seen the dawn of days
It's my savior that lets me sleep
Hallelujah! my King is near
With the keys to life in death
Hades and Heaven in His grasp
It is my savior my soul to keep
Let me leap in joy
   leap in love
      leap in faith
I will land between light bright is His
Grace
By your Word I see in darkness
Lord I pray in Christ Jesus alone
As I lay my head to rest I'll
   wait to be home in
The Amen of good nights
   remove me from my sinful slumber

They have more courage than anyone I know
They constantly sacrifice their lives
So one can have wood, homes, floors, fences,
And so many more things
They never once cry or even scream
Though it hurts them, they keep their vows of silence
They give us oxygen freely
Everyday, every minute, every hour
Each day, each breath you take
It is thanks to them,
And yet they never blame you,
Nor say a harsh word
They never judge you or hold a grudge against you
Even though it's their life you have taken
Could you give up your life, so willingly?
Never cry, never utter a word, or hate anybody?
Could you give oxygen to everyone 24/7?
AND give up your life, even though
You're just as helpful living as you are dead?
If not, then those same trees that have laid down their lives
For the very chair you're sitting on, for the very home you live in
Are the best of God's creation amongst us
Let us always try to respect them
GOD BLESS THEM & LONG LIVE THE TREES!

Chasing butterflies into the sky
I wonder why they have to fly
And just as it seemed it should be
I cant't keep them just to me

The more I'd go after and chasing
The more I feel like losing
And every time I hold a butterfly
I have to open my hands and let it fly

Chasing butterflies into the sky
Letting them go or else they die
But something also dies inside of me
Every time I set one free

I don't know why when we shall grow
We have to give up things and let them go
And things to which we must say our good byes
Are times we spent chasing butterflies.

I take your mind to bed
Any opinion
You ever had,
Stark naked.

I start fondling
Your musings;
I envision
Your thoughts on my skin.

Your ideas enter me;
I feel myself
Tingling
From all the talking.

All my dreams flow
You, too, are close --
Baby, let me swallow
Any last word.
