Forget me not, dear father,
For you have bestowed demons
On a child of innocence
Who has let them loose
Into her mind
In bedding them deeply there
Forget me not, Dear Father
For the sins of omission
Have overtaken me
And the battle rages on
I need your strength
And for my need to be free
Forget them not, dear Father
When they come to you in fear
Forgive them with compassion
Bring the child before them
Let them weep at her feet
So she may forgive them too.

You walked lightly into my life...
Captivating and lovely to my mind,
At first, I never cared who you were...
Now I don't know who I am without you,
You kissed me...I felt my world change,
You held me...I heard my heart awaken,
You loved me...And my soul was born anew
You walked lightly Into my life...
Now my heart knows who you are
And with every breath, and every step...
I take down lonely roads,
Your hand is my staff...
Your voice is my guide,
Your strength my shelter...
Your passion my awakening
You walked lightly into my life,
And all my pain, You took as your own,
All my fears,You cast into the sea,
All my doubt, Lost in your eyes,
You walked lightly into my life
And no matter if you choose to stay or go,
My life is forever changed...
Just because you loved me...
For a moment In time.
And because I choose To love you...
For the rest of mine.

He is lovely, dark, and deep
Though in his heart, secrets keep
I aspire to protect them all
The immoral, the sad, the grievous too.
He has come, heart open wide
He says' have me whole or not at all'
I know his love, I bring him up
Above the world, he once knew.
He will stay, strong and right
His intentions cast no single doubt
I seek his temple ever more
His Quiet arms await me there.
I am Lovely, light, and deep
Though in my heart, secrets keep
You aspire to protect them all
The immoral, the sad, the grievous too.
I am here, heart open wide
I say 'have me whole or not at all'
He know's my soul, He takes me down
.Beneath the flood of pain I knew.
I will stay, strong and right
My intentions cast no single doubt
He seeks my temple ever more
My quiet arms await him there.
We are lovely, Light, and deep
Within our love, secrets leave
We aspire to bespeak them all
The immoral, the sad, the grievous too.
We are here, hearts open wide
We say 'have us whole or not at all'
We stand as witness, of love's great strength
That crosses borders, of ignorance.
We will stay, where we belong
Our intention loving, etched in stone
We seek the temple from which we came
God's Quiet arms await us there.

Get Past the Pain and Live Again
I can't wait til we meet again
Way far up there in heaven
But I am staying here for now
I will get through it some how
I will get past the pain
And I will live again
I know that you are peaceful now
But here I am weepful now
I know you want me to be strong
Keep singing and go on
I will get past the pain
And I will live again
So I will dance for you
I will Be a better woman
I'll be the difference you made
I will dwell in peace and grace
I will get past the pain
And I will live again
I will plant the gardens you loved
Give Faith a fighting chance
Live in gratitude and love
Remember you're with God above
I will get past the pain
And I will live again

I can't promise you roads
Paved out of Gold
Nor Tomorrows without
Sorrow or woes
But I can promise you this
That through it all
I'll always be there
A soft place to fall
I can't guarantee Sunshine
Each day you arise
I can't tell you it won't be
Yet one more trial
But I can guarantee this
You won't walk it through alone
Yes you'll always have
A soft place to fall
I can't assure that tomorrow
Will bring riches or fame
I can't promise a future
Without any pain
But one thing I swear
Till the end of it all
You'll always have this
A soft place to fall.

Child of Grace
She was a child of grace
Surrounded by the worst of men,
A tender heart, with much to give
And a spirit locked in chains;
I see her sitting, lost and cold
Her face so filled with shame,
How I wish I could have held her
Saved her from the pain;
I watched her walk her forlorn path
Burdens too heavy for her to share,
Beaten down, and all alone
A sight too painful to bear:
I turn away with a sorrow,
Take one last look, and say goodbye,
A single tear runs down my cheek
I leave the girl behind;
Though many years have passed me by
I remember what I saw,
That little girl, with bright green eyes
A beautiful, empty shell;
I take her with me always
She is my strength through trying times,
But I know she turned out just fine
In fact I know and love her more today;
She walks with grace and dignity
A flame that lights the night,
Her heart now healed, her spirit free;
I know, because that girl was me.
