Lyrical Lavender Life

I said "I'll do it" And I did I said "I'll finish" So I'm trying I said "I'll never" So I won't I said "I'd go" And so I went I said "I'll stay" And here I am I said "I love you" And I still do. I'm keeping my word I'm doing my best When it all goes bad I'll clean up the mess I'm keeping my word No matter the test. Some 'word's are worth keeping While others are not Sometimes it is better to get off the pot* I'm keeping my word.. this time next time...maybe not.

This new love came in the dawn This new love is completely turned on This time when we laughed our souls felt the shake This time when we kissed it took away all heartache This new love is greater than the old This new love has really taken hold We drove down the highway just to get away Second chances feel good I wish we could've stayed Alone on the road just your hand in mine Your smile, your song your fears left behind This is how it can be from now until end We stumbled into this let our new life begin I want to be with you no miles to separate I want to be there when they realize your fate We each walk our path yes, this I understand But life is so much better holding your hand. This new love is my most precious gift God has blessed me with an attitude shift Before when we loved I loved you so much But this time I feel more than an ache for your touch I cannot imagine the thought of you going away For an month, a week, an hour or a day So much of my soul is devoured by yours I...

Coming Out Coming out of the dark Leaving silence behind Fearing what's ahead Going into battle blind Feeling what is fair Knowing what is right Guessing how it will go Fearing how it might Sometimes you have to do it Do it anyway Even if the end result Doesn't show today Someday you will be relieved To know that you are free To say, and do, to think and be What you were meant to be. Coming out of the dark Opening the heavy door Looking yourself in the face today Like you never have before Seeing your reflection in their eyes Knowing that they know you now It may be hard for a little while Hang on until they settle down But in the end it will all be out You will be free to live and be Just remember that it is up to you Only YOU can make you happy. This Love We were told from very young God is Love. It is up to us to defend our rights No one can tell you who to love. I believe my God is Love. So, all love is of Him. Including this great love I have for you, For I know it will ne...

One day at a time Is really all we get Hold on to every moment Tomorrow isn't yet Images of future Difficult to grasp Explanations flounder Understandings gasp The paths that you imagine Can sometimes lead astray But seeing the big picture Will help show you the way Present is life Past is but a memory Future is hope So make today all it can be

Though we have not been close for years, I love you and I will miss you. Though our paths ceased crossing, I thought of you and wished you well. For all our lives and childhood, You were close to me like a brother. Though I will not see you again, I will think of you and what could have been. I know your life had been difficult lately, and I know you did your best to just get through it. We all have sorrows, regrets and troubles, and no one can know what your pain feels like but you. I wish you peace now, Cody. As you sleep your untimely sleep. You were so young, so full of possibility But now you can set aside your pain and be. You can join your little one there For I'm sure that your son Will be happy to have you with him Though it means that we all will miss you We hope that you rest in peace in the end.

Opera.... a new passion Developed through a special someone The voice... a magical instrument When it rings through the air, It pierces your heart And cuts to the very soul Music... a longtime love Brought about by my own longing for something in me to be heard Singing, dancing, playing music can affect mood and attitude It gets into your core And you crave its sounds With every milestone, A song is there To lift, excite, comfort, and share Connections to every emotion are made Love is one that is often conveyed Words can have limitations at times With music there doesn't need reason or rhyme. To the soul who relies on music to fill all the feelings of life that just don't seem real For expressing the things that you just cannot face The role of music can not be replaced.
