Mr. Wrong
I have never seen anything like
the way you changed
from being Mr. Right
to Mr. Wrong overnight
I let a lot slide
to keep the peace
avoid a lot of unnecessary pain
But this one thing
I admit is and always
will be my biggest complaint
You left my lips so lonesome
Yes...
You should have kissed me more
the way you changed
from being Mr. Right
to Mr. Wrong overnight
I let a lot slide
to keep the peace
avoid a lot of unnecessary pain
But this one thing
I admit is and always
will be my biggest complaint
You left my lips so lonesome
Yes...
You should have kissed me more

Charades (Co-write with Adagio)
In this charade of life
saving the last breath
for fools
in their capsule of death
with no metamorphosis
to fall back on
for a fool lives in a shell
of their home-made hell
feverishly fretting
lying in suspicious watchfulness
for an ounce of kindness
to be found in their version
of an unkind world
saving the last breath
for fools
in their capsule of death
with no metamorphosis
to fall back on
for a fool lives in a shell
of their home-made hell

lying in suspicious watchfulness

to be found in their version
of an unkind world

Untraceable
My heart was carried along
By a cold, swift current
Merciless at it's worst
I carved it into the gritty sand
Not far from the shore
Where one good wave
Could cover it
And easily turn it into something
Quite forgettable
Not to mention untraceable
By a cold, swift current
Merciless at it's worst
I carved it into the gritty sand
Not far from the shore
Where one good wave
Could cover it
And easily turn it into something
Quite forgettable
Not to mention untraceable

Touched By You
Touched by you
in so many ways
Both inside and out
I feel a sort
Of ecstasy
Fears plus tears
We have
Paid the steep price
for our passion
Let us rest
In the calm
Of the dawn
in so many ways
Both inside and out
I feel a sort
Of ecstasy
Fears plus tears
We have
Paid the steep price
for our passion
Let us rest
In the calm
Of the dawn

The Pain Of Love
I know only too well
How the pain
Of love stings
The overwhelming sadness
That accompanies
The end of
Yet another failed relationship
How is it
That there seems
No end to
The anguish
And the strain it
Always puts on the heart
Of one more
hopeless attempt
At finding genuine love
How the pain
Of love stings
The overwhelming sadness
That accompanies
The end of
Yet another failed relationship
How is it
That there seems
No end to
The anguish
And the strain it
Always puts on the heart
Of one more
hopeless attempt
At finding genuine love

Proud To Be A Woman
You can write to me
Using sweet words
Dear ones that honor me
Or ones that thrill me
Or you could write
About me
If you wish
Inspiring lines
Perhaps ones that rhyme
You can lift me up
Spread good words
Around and round
All these things
You could say aloud
But just knowing
How far this
Woman has come
Is enough for me
To say I'm proud.

Here Comes Spring
Last trace of winter
Leaving a chill in the air
Spring will soon be here

Spring will soon be here

What If God Really Was A Woman
Would you be surprised to know it
Could you keep from showing it?
Would it even matter one bit
If God really was a girly girl
Whose femininity knew no limits
Could it be that He's a She
And we don't even know it?
For me it surely seems to fit
For a woman's love never quits
On her throne she humbly sits
Could you keep from showing it?
Would it even matter one bit
If God really was a girly girl
Whose femininity knew no limits
Could it be that He's a She
And we don't even know it?
For me it surely seems to fit
For a woman's love never quits
On her throne she humbly sits

My Own Way
I like to think
I'm the woman
God created me to be
Although it wasn't always so.
Throughout my life
I've stumbled and
I've fallen many times
Still I kept on trying
To better myself
To become the kind
Of person I always
Hoped I would become
With the help of God
I've come a long way
From where I've been
Seeking to be more like Him
I'm the woman
God created me to be
Although it wasn't always so.
Throughout my life
I've stumbled and
I've fallen many times
Still I kept on trying
To better myself
To become the kind
Of person I always
Hoped I would become
With the help of God
I've come a long way
From where I've been
Seeking to be more like Him

The Sacredness Of Nature
I believe in the sacredness of nature
My spirituality lies therein
How everything is beautiful in it's own way
How the morning glory ushers in a new day
And the moon flower opens up at night
I believe that nature brings out the best in me
Basking in the warmth of the morning sun
Drawing the fresh air in through my nostrils
And out through my open mouth
Helping me to breathe better every day
Yes, there truly is a sacredness in nature
Beauty in the crashing of the ocean's waves
A little flower opening in the bright sunlight...
My spirituality lies therein
How everything is beautiful in it's own way
How the morning glory ushers in a new day
And the moon flower opens up at night
I believe that nature brings out the best in me
Basking in the warmth of the morning sun
Drawing the fresh air in through my nostrils
And out through my open mouth
Helping me to breathe better every day
Yes, there truly is a sacredness in nature
Beauty in the crashing of the ocean's waves
A little flower opening in the bright sunlight...

Loving You
I love how you tell me
you love me all the time
You ask if saying it
so much is wrong
I never had someone
love me so much
I could hear you say it
all day long
Baby, it's our time
Like a poem that rhymes
Everything points to you
It's all about loving you
you love me all the time
You ask if saying it
so much is wrong
I never had someone
love me so much
I could hear you say it
all day long
Baby, it's our time
Like a poem that rhymes
Everything points to you
It's all about loving you

Gloria The Goat
Who needs a car
When they always break down?
Or a boat when it gets
Holes in the bottom
And it won't float?
I'd rather have a goat
even though
It couldn't get me
As far as a car
Gloria is more than just
a pet goat
Gloria keeps me company
She is a friend indeed
She 's a real blessing
Because my lawn
Never needs mowing
With her around
When they always break down?
Or a boat when it gets
Holes in the bottom
And it won't float?
I'd rather have a goat
even though
It couldn't get me
As far as a car
Gloria is more than just
a pet goat
Gloria keeps me company
She is a friend indeed
She 's a real blessing
Because my lawn
Never needs mowing
With her around
