Your Birthday
Here's to another birthday,
Have fun on your special day.
These are the typical phases,
On ordinary birthday cards.
Well you are not ordinary.
You need to hear,
Just how dear,
And near,
To my heart you are.
How you are my safe house.
How I can tell you my secrets.
How we give one another,
Memories that we can't forget.
How can I possibly,
Put all this into words.
My feelings go beyond,
All that you have heard.
It's more than words can say.
You see.
It's not just your birthday,

Every Once In Awhile
You cross my mind
Every once in awhile
I wonder how are you
Hoping that all is well
After all this time
The feelings still feel new
There is no shaking you
It's no use
Or an substitute
Besides I don't want to
For it's what I chose
Like a natural piece
Of uncut diamonds
You are one of a kind
Not a knock off
Or a fake wanna be
You speak your mind freely
Not wanting to be in a relationship
But I would love to
Have the chance to show

A Strong Believer
A strong believer,
Always looks at a negative,
As a right.
What was meant for bad,
Was meant for good.
Joseph's brothers,
Were jealous and mean.
He still believed,
In the almighty.
Joseph's boss wife lied,
Had him through in prison,
For false reasons.
He still believed,
In the almighty.
Job lost everything,
He was left with nothing.
He still believed,
In the almighty.
When someone else gets,
A larger helpin,

What I Appreciate
I appreciate
A person who acknowledge
His or her mistakes
I appreciate a person
Who apologizes
And doesn't hesitate
I appreciate
A person who makes
You believe
What they say because
They mean it truly
I appreciate
A person who keeps their word
After all it's what I deserve
I appreciate
A person who's apology
I can accept
Because it will be sincere
And I can forgive and forget it
I appreciate

My Special Friend
You have grown on me
Do you know that
As a matter of fact
I truly enjoy you
At first I didn't realize it
But now I see
It's a pleasure
To hear from you
In the morning
I enjoy the way
That we laugh
We are so open
With one another
You are like a brother
The moments we spend
Together are truly
A treasure
Our friendship is a gift
It gives my spirits
A big lift

God Is
Faith is our muscle
That we must flex
At our worse times not our best
We must use it
To strengthen it
Over the years of life
Tragedies have come
That have brought tears with fears
But this is when you have
To put your faith into gear
Even in our times of hurt
Our darkest hour
Through our questions
And eyes filled with tears
This one thing is clear
God is
Faith is putting our pride aside
And realize
It is wise
To keep in mind

Christmas Is Here
Christmas is here
Everyone is filled with cheer
I just love Christmas
As well as
Everything else that adds
Meaning to it
Candy canes
Shapes like the letter J
For Jesus
Red for the blood
White for purity
Christmas is so special to me
So many symbols reminding me
Why this all came to be
Wreaths and Christmas trees
Made from the evergreen family
Everlasting life is the meaning
And let us not forget
Old Saint Nick
Who gave presents

And I Finally Realize
The other day
I came to the conclusion
And it's not an illusion
You are the only man
That I ever loved
Years ago many years ago
We were both young
Neither of us
Really knew a thing about love
It took for me to be
With others to see
How much you meant to me
To realize that none of them
Can hold a candle to you
Or do the things that you do
Even though we have both moved on
The love that I have for you still lives on
In my heart you will always
Hold a special place
Your name has a special space

The Perfect Fit
God has to be
A part of this
I could not have
Found a better love
Even if I were to dream it
We are a perfect fit
Like an echo
Of finness
Our love is a true
Product of happiness
It's so strong
My heart with yours
Is where it belongs
Being with you is wonderful
I could never go wrong
Some people search for a lifetime
To find
A love like ours
Like a lovely flower
I never want to stop

Rest Father
Father are you listening,
If you lend me your ear.
I will make it clear.
That you no longer,
Have to fear.
The angry little girl is grown up now
And somehow I have learned,
To move on.
Now that I have children,
Of my own.
New thoughts have been born.
Even though you weren't around,
I have found,
That's it best to let the wall down.
Turn my frown upside down.
You are my father,
You help make me,
You made it possible,
For me to see,
My two babies.
