Is new the old?
When we meet new life head on,
We dance with joy, we sing some songs
New is what its ment to be
For you and us, and us and me
But why when starting a new together
Can it not feel it is forever
When a partnership is new
Why must past be part of you
To carry through to join our new
Is this to hard, it makes me blue?
Cant you start a life with me?
Bringing them, our lifes not free
To start a future from our present
Hit the past firm with a cresent
There is no need to bring the past
To kill our future way too fast
Yes theres some...

what happened to true?
Treat another as you would like
Do you want to always just fight
Is there no respect we can show
Is this life an untruthful flow
Of lies, deciet and hatefullness shown
Just a little more room to groan
Oh the joys of truth, love and smiles
Why does it have to be, hate, lies and trials
We are the makers of what we accept
We do not need, the hate we detect
Treat others as, ourselves we'd like
Being abusive, just isnt right
A smile a day and a cheerful hello
Gives us encouragement, while on the go
So less of the hassels, and more of the...

Where are they? The ones like you!
Where are the men so trusted and true
I had one once, he said, im for you
I loved him so fully, with all that I had
He loved me back, to lose him, so sad
Engaged we were, getting married one day
He went on a journey, a short holiday
After a week I picked up the phone
All I could hear was a sad sobbing moan
As I listened, to what was now said
The tears, they formed as I hung low my head
He went out that day, to do just some fishing
Then I was told, how he was then missing
I stood in defiance, I said, no! not true
I just couldnt bare the...

For you Mum on Mothers Day
As this day approaches, trembling in my heart
I just know that deep within, we're not so far apart
I stand alone hold out my hand, and gently do I pray
That you will walk right up to me, and as we walk away
You will hold on to my hand, and hug me close to you
Softly will you say to me, Trace please dont feel so blue
I will look into your eyes, with love so softly spoken
You will look right back at me and heal my heart so broken
I would give you flowers and slippers as I do
You would give me hugs and say :you shouldnt have, but thankyou

For you Mum
Five months have passed since God took you home
In all of my life, never felt so alone
The day is nearing I find hard to face
I know in my heart your in a good place
I have now to face the whole day alone
No calling you up to say on the phone
Happy Mothers Day Mum, ill be over soon
And arriving to give you a mums day balloon
And taking you out for lunch and then tea
And as big as I am a hug on your knee
To spend the day with my Mum as I do
To give you your presents and say I love you
I hope in the heavens you know I write this

More to life
Look through the window, what do I see?
All of the beauty outside for me
Birds in the trees, light and the sun
So far to go, much room to run
Why do we judge and putdown and lie?
Why do we wish to make others cry?
Do you not look and see what I see?
Do you not want to have this with me?
All of the beauty life has, to behold
You hold it to ransom, you turn it to mold
I look every day and see the revoltion.
Id much rather walk in the sand, near the ocean.
Even at work the nasties perform
I sit back and think, is it worth all the storm?

I'll make you proud
A life of letting others win
Filling my life full of sin
Learning to be one im not
I see now how far I got
The look on my dear parents face
disapointed of my place
Wanted so for me to be
A graceful loving young lady
Now I see were I went wrong
Its taken me so very long
I no its way too late to show
Mum and Dad, that now ive grown
The lady, of whom they did see
Who was inside, the shell of me
I no its now, too late for me

Just how much they would be proud

To be a lady
To walk with grace and stand up strong
To smile proud, to prove some wrong
To be a lady and to see
That in this mirror, she is me
To hold an air of dignity
Is how I want my world to be
No more this woman, who I was
Dragged along by men who boss
Now I am, who I was born
Woman of statue, not of scorn
I will lead my life from now
No more men will show me how
I will be, who is inside
The woman who was born with pride
With honor, grace, humanity
To be the lady found in me
To smile proud, to prove some wrong
To be a lady and to see
That in this mirror, she is me
To hold an air of dignity
Is how I want my world to be
No more this woman, who I was
Dragged along by men who boss
Now I am, who I was born
Woman of statue, not of scorn
I will lead my life from now
No more men will show me how
I will be, who is inside
The woman who was born with pride
With honor, grace, humanity
To be the lady found in me

where is he?
Looking up upon the sky
Is life just a living lie
Where is all the love to find?
Are all people, all that blind?
Walking in amongst the crowd
Some are timid, some are loud
Do we have to use and steal?
Is there anyone whos real?
When we walk along the road
Find a prince, or find a toad
Life is beauty, if we see
Past the evil, lurking free
Beauty we dont always find
Life can tie us in a bind
Lets look past the hurts and pain
We can learn to live again
Look more further, than we see
I look at others, then at me
I dont wish...

and then some....
Warmth of closeness, within a reach
Warmth of touch, he will teach
Arms around you, holding tight
Feel okay, no need to fight
looking deep, within his eyes
Knowing theres no need, for lies
As he holds you, oh so firm
The trust now you, just have to learn
To open yourself, up to see
No more you have, to run and flee
He will clasp your face, and hold
with his hands, so strong and bold
With a touch of gentle grace
He will cup your hopeful face
He will kiss your forehead slow
In his gentle touch , youll know

And without a date
Walking all alone along, the beach on summers night
Here is something that I found, to be a small delight
As I wander through the sand I look upon the sea
Is that just the image of a man whos here with me
As I no im dreaming, as I look out further on
Oh I feel disheartened as I see now that hes gone
I walk a little farther, and kick along the sand
I think about what I just saw and outward stretch my hand
I think of how he'll walk right up, and take my hand in his
The comfort of a hand in mine, is so sorely missed
I look up to the sky above,...

I am me
I am me and who I see
Is the one I want to be
With my golden wavey hair
With a heart of gold to care
Like a broken pot of clay
Can it be, fixed up to stay
To be strong, and take a fall
To be thrown against a wall
Yes it can with with glue to seal
With TLC so it can feel
It wont be broken any more
Stand still and steady on the floor
Like a cutting from a tree
Soaked in water, roots to see
Planted in the soil now
Not too long and its in flower
Such with me and I do know
Take some time, but I will grow
Back...
