The sky captures my heart
Stabilizing it's sporadic beat
When things start spinning out of control
Looking up will keep me on my feet

It's always the same
At least for my lifetime
And when everything is changing
The sky is a reason to the  chaotic rhyme

The mass is stretched
The stars a scatter
The moon glows bright
It all quiets my inner chatter

There's something calming
About it's existence
Always there
Without resistance

It adds a color to the world
Whether day or night
The stars showing you're not alone
Or the sun shining bright

Clouds showing how it breathes
Rain expressing it's pain
Thunder the sound of it's cries
Lightning striking angry, announcing it's name

The sky is above us
And will always be around
As long as we live
It will keep us earth bound

And with it we will know
That it will always be
Consistent and stable
When everything else is changing freely.

I think I'm beginning to fall pretty hard
In that tumbling down a hill sort of way
He's a great guy, perfect really
Always brightening my day.

Actually it's more like my life
That he makes better all the time
I'm constantly happy and upbeat
No matter the way or rhyme.

This is his doing
The way he just comes up in here
Shakes up my world
All upside down, but totally clear.

I mean it's clear to me
Where this is going
I'm not sure if he knows
But love is going to be overflowing.

Soon, very soon.
Like a flower
It will blossom
It will bloom.

I'll take this all to the depth of my heart
My emotions flourishing
Growing and expanding
Nourishing..
My soul.

It's gonna happen
I can try to hide from it
I can try to run from it
But it will get me and and it--
Will just be.

Staring into the fire I see
Your face and wish you were here with me

But even deep within my secret desire
I know we will never be

Unfortunately

I had to let you go
Because  you didn't love me anymore

But even still I want you to know
That I love  you down to my very core

Unfortunately

I don't want these feelings anymore
I can't get you out of my head!

Yes my broken heart is healing
But I won't forget the tears I shed

Everything is black and blue
Everything is dark and cold
Without you, who am I to hold?

Unfortunately nothing is fortunate anymore
Unfortunately you're gone
Unfortunately I'm still here
Unfortunately we lost our bond..
But fortunately everything is now clear.

Red makes the color of love,
White is the wings of a dove.

Orange is the color of Halloween,
When Black joins in they make quite a team.

Green covers the peel of a lime,
And Silver is what coats the shell of a dime.

Gold is why there's a shine in a ring,
And the Yellow of the sun is what makes birds sing.

Purple fills the midnight sky,
And Blue is the color of tears when you cry.

Pink is quite a girlie shade,
And Teal is the color of ocean waves.

These are some colors of the rainbow,
This is only a few, how many do you know?

Let me tell you a story of a girl
Whose life  was like no other
In the beginning
Everything was a struggle.

When times got tough
She would lay lifelessly
In the dark.

The tears she would cry
Would keep a steady flow
Until her emotional outbursts ran dry.

When these times came
She felt in her heart that
There was no cure.

But when they would pass
A new feeling
Would overwhelm her.

Then she would smile
And go on with her life.

This story I'm telling you
Is the story I live.

This is the story of my life
It's not like any other
Even with a new beginning
Every day is still a struggle.

But now when times get tough
I know it's just a routine
The pain still hurts..
But instead of looking at it like a sunset
I smile and it's instead a sunrise.

And every day is a new day
One that will easily pass by.

So this story I tell you
Is to show all of you
That even when it's tough
And even when it's rough
You can get through it.

Just remember this:
This could be the story of your life
It may not be like any other
Even with a fresh head
And a new beginning
Every day might still be a struggle.

But then when times get tough
It's just the other half of the circle
The pain may still hurt
But there's always that new sunrise.

Keep. On. Pushing!
It hurts, I know. But you'll make it.
The tears you cry, will eventually run dry.
And you'll smile, as I did.
Then the sun will rise high.

And even with every day a new struggle,
It's all part of the sunset and sunrise.

I remember when I was young
My life was like a ride on a swing
And my heart it always sung
With the joy the ups would bring.

But when the swing would ride down
My heart would no longer soar
It was almost unsettling
The depression overtaking my core.

The swing would go up
The swing would go down
Fill up my cup
And then pour it out.

Unnerving
Exhilarating
Painful
Complicating.

Up and down
Happy and sad
Continuous motion
From good to bad.

But little did I know
A swing ride isn't forever
You can easily jump off
And release your tether..

To the ups and downs.

There's nothing more
I'd like to say
Then how much I love you
On Valentine's Day.

We have been
Through thick and thin
From start to end
From here to there again.

I wish I could give you
Anything you desire
The world and it's treasures
And the Lord's holy fire.

My heart belongs to you
It may be here in my chest
But it beats for you eternally
And it only wants the best.

God has chosen my knight
And with great joy
I accept him wholeheartedly
Man or boy.
