Who knows what waits around the corner
Who knows what life has yet to show,
When you travel life;s road you can but wonder
But what is yet to come , well no one knows.

So plan your life and set your goals
To the way you want them,
And set about to to reach them one by one.

Don't be to disappointed if you don't complete them,
As things don't often go to the way we planed.

So enjoy your life and savor every moment
Take pleasure in what ever it is you do,
For we're only on this earth for a short time
And when you die we will remember you.

The days get ever longer
As our day is drawing near,
Time goes oh so slowly
As my thoughts become quite clear.

To live my life without you
Would never cross my mind,
I'd sooner trap you in my love
Until the end of time.

I could search the whole world over
To find a love so true,
But no love could ever measure up
To the love I hold for you.

To change the way a person thinks
Takes a lot of time,
So even though I know how much
I need this love of mine.

I'll stand aside and let you go
For your mind now rules your soul,
I hope one day your heart will find
A way to make you whole.

I do love you with all my heart
And that love will never die,
But your happiness is what I want
So please my love don't cry.

I dreamed a dream of Yesteryear
When love was simple and life quite clear,
Whether here or there or anywhere else
The only person that mattered was me myself.

I wondered around this country so fine
Just to see all the different sights I could find,
Not a stone unturned did I leave on my quest
Each new place I went, I thought was the best.

From the green rolling grasslands with it's rivers and lakes
The beauty uncurled like the coils of a snake,
From the fast moving cities to this country's outback
I've been there my friends and one day will go back.

For the wonders I've seen in this country so wide
Has been burned in my memory in a passing tide,
I dreamed a dream of Yesteryear
And as I awoke my eyes shed a tear.

I sit here and wonder
What life still has in store for me,
And cringe at the very thought
Of what it could be.

Could it be like the first half my life
More of the same,
I hope not for that would surely
Send me insane.

Could it be like a walk
Along the beach at sunset,
That would be like heaven on earth
To me I guess.

I'll have to take what ever
Is dished out good or bad,
Still my life to date
Has been pretty sad.

Life is what you make of it
Or so the saying go's,
The thing that they don't tell you
Is that know one really knows.

No one has the power
To see what the future holds,
No one could ever tell you
If you'll ever reach your goals.

So never put your life on hold
For what someone else might say,
Live life to it's fullest
And live it day by day.

I can't tell you in person
Or even on the phone,
Just how much I love you
And need you to be my own.

Ever time I think about you
Every time I close my eyes,
This feeling won't let go of me
So now I realize.

The love I hold within my heart
Is causing me to say,
I miss you and need you more
As my love grows every day.

For you are my guiding angel
With a fire in her eyes,
You are the light that guides me
To shine through loves disguise.
