The Piano Man
This is written for my piano teacher Colin
His hands are magic as he touches the keys
Beautiful music he creates like the ground giving birth to new trees.
When I here the piano man play, a gate appears that shines like gold,
My heart skips a beat and the music takes a hold.
You teach me to play and give me lessons to grow,
You inspire me to be better than I am I just thought you should know.
I want to thank you for the gift you have given to me,
You have opened my soul to the music while helping my eyes
to better see,
Isolation
Isolation consumes me, it sucks me in
Until I don't know what I have done
or where I have been.
It is lonely here, lonely and cold
Is this where people go when they are old.
Life stands still, I cannot find
a friendly face, no one to talk to
no loving embrace.
So I just sit and brush my blond hair,
Suddenly I can feel an icey stare.
I jump to my feet and slowly turn around,
I come to realize that there is no one to be found.
With fear in my heart I begin to run,
endlessly searching for the light of the sun.
As I run, I can taste my fear, I can hear someone
whispering in my ear.
I turn to see who is there, but all I see
is the cold winter air.
I continue to run as a thought enters my head,
This is the place that belongs to the dead.
Why am I here, is the answer I crave,
I hear a voice telling me to be brave.
I follow the voice with a heart full of fear,
I want to cry but I hold back my tear.
I come to a door, its color is blue,
I look closely, it reads
Laramie I love you.
Awakenings
A paralyzed boy lies awake in his bed,
With thoughts of freedom dancing in his head.
He rubs his eys and begins to weep,
As the tears gently flow, he falls to sleep.
As he enters his land, he floats through a cloud
He thinks to himself, I want my mother to be proud.
In the distance he sees a can,
As he reaches for it, he feels a blinding pain.
He hears the words, I love you so much
At that moment, he can feel his mother's touch.
He feels a pain that is greater than before,
He moves his legs and starts to soar.
As he approaches the warmth of the snow,
he starts to laugh and twitches his toe.
The boy hears a voice, please please don't go
He lands on his feet and touches the snow.
The snow turns to water
it is crytal blue, he hears her words
I will always love you.
A snowflake falls and rests on his head,
He whispers to himself, I must be dead.
With one tear that falls from his eye
He utters the words,
I am ready to die.
Poppy
You were always ther for me
You watched my grow in all my years.
You were there when I laughed
You were there to whipe my tears.
You gave me love and opened your heart to me
You took me in and made me a part of your family.
Well Poppy
I am growing up and there is one thing I know is true,
I am so very blessed to have a daddy like you.
I love you so much poppy
I just wanted to say
With a heart full of love, I am wishing you a very happy father's day.
My Prince
I see his face
I sense his touch.
How is it that feel so much
When he is gone
I long for his embrace,
When he is near
I kiss his beautiful facd.
I feel his presence
I hunger for his kiss.
When he is gone
It is him that my heart does miss.
I hear his voice in my mind
I know in my soul that he is kind.
I hold him in my arms like a new found pup
If this is a dream, I pray that I never wake up.
Inspired by and written for Josh Groban
I HEAR HIS VOICE
I AM FROZEN IN TIME.
WITH EACH NOTE, EACH WORD
MY TROUBLES GO BLIND.
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL
AN EXTRORDINARY GIFT.
EVERY TIME HE SINGS
I FEEL MY SADNESS LIFT.
HIS VOICE IS AN ARROW
THAT MY HEART'S STRINGS DO PLUCK.
IN A WHIRLPOOL OF WONDERMENT
I FIND MYSELF STUCK.
FOR ONE SO MYTHICAL TO WALK THE EARTH,
IS TO LOOK UPON PURE BEAUTY AND KNOW ITS WORTH.
HE SINGS OF LOVE, HE SINGS TO INSPIRE.
EVERYTIME I HEAR JOSH SING,
I FEEL MY SOUL GO EVEN HIGHER.
Dear Grandmother
Dear Grandmother,
That I thought of you last night as I knelt down to pray.
I thought of your warmth, your smile, your heart and your love.
Inside my heart, I know you are watching me from above.
I know that one day I will be seeing your face,
Feeling your warmth and your loving embrace.
I still don not know why you had to go,
Why God took you, filling our hearts full of woe.
I know that you are happy now and your pain is gone,
That each of your days is filled with a song.
I know that saying goodbye is something we all must learn,
Grandmother you must know that my tears still burn.
Grandmother I love you, I just wanted to say,
That I thought of you last night as I knelt down to pray.
My Reflection
I look into the mirror and what do I see.
China blue eyes looking into me.
Procelain skin with freckles that do touch.
A pair of lips that speak too much.
I see the shapes in my face,
I close my eyes and see an empty black space.
My eys open to see a heart full of love,
I cast my reflection aside and I hear the sweet cooing of a dove.
I fixate on my mirror image as a tear rolls down my skin.
Why is my beauty only found within.
Words Unspoken
Sitting alone on my ass
Without a friend or a class,
No on speaks,
The boys just walk on by
They don't give a glance
So I sit and sigh.
It's morning now and I can smell the rain,
But all I feel is an aching pain.
What have I done
Was it good or bad,
Why can I not remember the experience I just had.
I am alone now lying on my bed
It's so dark, am I alive or dead.
I feel my soul rising to the sky
I remain silent and wonder why.
In this new place will I have a friend,
Or will I be alone until the end.
I feel the sun glowing on my face,
There is no one to be found any place.
I see a figue in a cloud,
I hear my name spoken aloud.
Darling granddaughter have you come to play,
Or have my prayers been answered
Are you here to stay.
Why am I here is the quetion I ask
Will you please remove your mask.
So much to see so much to know,
Can we venture to where it will snow.
I trip on a cloud and begin to fall
I silently scream, whats the use of it all.
My fall breaks, I land on her wing
She lifts me up and begins to sing.
What is this place
Please remove your disguise
Or is this what happens when someone dies.
