Sculptured mountains rise above the sand

Desert beauty throughout the land

Cactus ' live over a hundred years

Walking the path for Apache tears

The creatures of the desert hide until night

Hiding from hawks,birds of flight

Desert beauty is like no other

Such beautiful earthly colors

Paintings on mountains from a time long ago

Stories of tales we did not know

Desert beauty continues to shine

Remembering a time long ago, old gold mines

Sculptured mountains rise above the sand

Save Gods creatures its their land
As the sky awakens you can hear the coyotes cries
Looking at the mountains watching the sun rise
Peaceful calm creatures as creatures stir
Momma's cleaning their babies fur
Slowly stepping out of their hiding place
Creatures sit to get the sun on their face
Cool breezes blow, leaves rustle
Across the ground, tiny creatures hustle
Birds take to the sky to find their meal
Hyenas wait to see what they can steal
The sun rises high up in the sky
If you listen you can hear baby birds cry
Flowing streams animals drink
Enemies attack quicker than you think
Run for safety in the blink of any eye
Fly to safety, birds to take to the sky
The awakens sky's comes to an end
Bright yellow sun begins to descend
Animals find their beds for the night
Peaceful slumber as the days goes dark
Coyotes night time howl and bark

Mother natures tears fall from the sky.

Replenishes land so hungry and dry

The sun shines on her smiling face down.

Earth's creatures make a beautiful sound.

So much sadness washes away.

Blue skies above, such a beautiful day

Cotton, why clouds float through the sky

Lying on the grass, watching the day go by

Mother nature's tears are no more.

What does tomorrow have in store?

The sun begins to set for her sleep.

Creatures of the night come out to take a peak.

Begin to drink from pools of tears

Always alert; danger near

Mother nature's tears begin to fall.

Against the leaves of trees so tall

They satisfy thirst from the sky.

Creatures of the sky also fly.

Time to fly, time to shine

Time to celebrate, a glass of wine

To many sacrifices, I have made

Time to step out of someone elses  shade

Success defines who I am

Don't like it? Don't give a ****

Time to take myself off the shelf

I look in the mirror and see myself



Time to fly, time to shine

Successes I create, all mine

No longer will I stand behind

Afraid I will no longer be

Time to think about me

Time for my spirit to be free

Heartbreak and sadness I endure

Time to lift my spirit off the floor

Time to fly, time to shine

Time to make my life again mine

My heart is broken, my soul is lost

It cannot be repaired, to high of cost

Alone I sit and see your empty heart

You continue to drive us apart

The choices you made are yours alone

I will not be the one who picks up the phone

I will not be treated this way anymore

Nor will I sit and wait by the door

My heart is broken, my soul is lost

You continue to lie, my feelings tossed

Family first, were your words

Another statement for the birds

I hold back tears that you don't see

You will never see what you have done to me

Rules change to suit your needs

Of course I am the bad guy no one believes

A control freak is what you are

Your life consists of food and a bar

I hope you see what you have done

Apparently you think its fun

Its always and forever been about you

I have nothing left to say or do

You put your friends first, that will never change

That will forever be part of your game

My heart is broken my soul is lost

The sun goes to sleep and says goodnight

The moon rises high and shines so bright

Creatures awake from their sleep

From hiding places safe and deep

Cool breezes blow, rustling leaves

Voices of the night interweave

Remain in the shadows, so no one can see

Freedom to roam and be free

Crickets chirping,coyotes howl

Night time predators on the prowl

Voices of the night that want to be heard

Sitting in the dark, not understanding a word

Breaking twigs and crunching leaves

Sounds you can't believe

Voices of the night

Heaven awaits an angel above

At its gold gates with open arms and love

Your spirit is free, your soul flies high

Why you left so soon, so many ask why

Your body is at peace, no more pain

One more angel, heaven has gained

There will be sadness and tears will fall

You be missed, and loved by all

As we look to the sky, your smiling down

I close my eyes and see an angel with a crown

In my prayers and heart you will be

You will always be a  guardian angel to me
