Go Forward We Must

Take to the life
That pushes you far
You'll find you are stretched
Even beyond stars

So ready or not
You go for the gold
You put yourself out there
And instinct points where to go

Steadfast and forward
Consistent and true
Strive to be driven
Trusting you know what to do

Keep it simple
Feel what you'll feel
Never lose hope
Take time to be still

Go forward we must
Dream the big dream
Work toward the goal
Take in the light that beams

Clouds

They move and surprise
They drift and relax
You dream and escape
and forget things that tax

A moment of calm
A life far away
Clouds take on life
and even brighten the day

The majesty's clear
The sun shines through
A beauty engulfs
and takes away the blues

Whatever life's challenge
A new day is here
Stop and take it in
and the clouds start to clear

Beauty shines thru
Rebirth takes place
A feeling of peace
being centered in your space

True Love

True love enlightens
and lifts the soul
Makes us feel comfort
and helps us feel whole

We can't live without it
and feel empty when it's gone
As we give our love sincerely
we are filled and we are strong

So often we run
or even feel scared
When finding this sacred love
that can renew when shared

But cling to love we must
take it in and grow
Trust in the healing
you feel from it's glow

Endure to the end

They say that it's tested, tried and true
Do unto others,
as you'd have done to you

Yet still we struggle, along our way
Making mistakes that hurt
and try to hide the pain

I still like to think, that it's not lose or win
There's always renewed hope
a new place to begin

So keep moving forward,with an open heart forgive
Find peace, strength and comfort
and endure to the end

Believe in Love

She thought to herself, as she drove away
I'm moving on to a better life, seeking a brighter way
The tears came quickly, as she thought of her loss
Breaking up is hard, but the alternative has a greater cost

Oh, young love, how it twists and turns
Our emotions are raw, and it deeply burns
We find new love and it starts again
Will this one last, we question as it begins

Believe in love
Hold on to love
Give your love

Love can come quickly, and hopefully it stays
We feel of its warmth, like the bright sun ray
We make the commitment, and sometimes we're let down
Yet other times it's the anchor, that keeps us on solid ground

Love through the journey, it will enrich our lives
Keep the flame burning, by following the light
Be brave, let go, when you know you should
But once fully committed, hold on thru bad and good

Believe in love
Hold on to love
Give your love

My Plea

If I were, to make a plea
It would be to my Savior, and only he

My plea therefore, is this
Refine me, and fill me with bliss

May I be gentler, in my way
Letting thy light, be my ray

Seeking thy peace, throughout the day
Giving to others, and being selfless, I pray

Help me heal, and be content
Filled with peace, and truly repent

Finding the strength, that comes from thee
Uplifting others through thy light, yes; this is my plea

There Was Love

He was twenty two, she was just twenty
Living on nothing as they have little money
But there was love

Just starting out, their life so new together
A baby on the way and life's stormy weather
But there was love

Life seems so short when the moments flee
We wonder why so fast, it has to be
But there was love

When memories come, they help us know
We've treasured everything, even bumps in the road
Yes there was love

Fifteen years later, they went so quickly
Their daughters growing up, she's just so pretty
And there was love

Homecoming queen, then off to college
Their baby is gone to gain more knowledge
And there was love

Life seems so short when the moments flee
We wonder why so fast, it has to be
But there was love

When memories come, they help us know
We've treasured everything, even bumps in the road
Yes there was love

Graduation, marriage, then a new grand baby
Kindergarten, high school, now granddaughters a lady
Because there was love

Grandma passes, then grandpa too
Their legacy, life's lessons and loyalty true
Because their was love

Life seems so short when the moments flee
We wonder why so fast, it has to be
But there was love

When memories come, they help us know
We've treasured everything, even bumps in the road
Yes there was love
