Be Thankful
When the day is gray
Be Thankful
When the sun shines bright
Be Thankful
When the job gets tough
Be Thankful
When you get that promotion
Be Thankful
When your kids yell
Be Thankful
When you hug your kids
Be Thankful
When relationships sour
Be Thankful
When you find your soul mate
Be Thankful
From one extreme to the other
Be Thankful
Everyday you can live and breathe
Be Thankful
Remember the past
Be Thankful
Dream of the future
Be Thankful
Live for today and
Be Thankful!
As the Sun Rises
As the sun rises
Majestically over the bay
So do my hopes
Of a future with you
Reds and yellows
Blues and greens
The colors of the morning
Glistening in the dew
Sounds of the wildlife
Greeting the new day
My heart rejoices
With what this new day brings
Visions of you
Coming to share
The glory in this world
With family and friends.
Thoughts of you
Thoughts of you
Brighten my day
As the new sun rises
Over the bay
Patiently waiting
Til the day arrives
That we two
Can share our lives
You have your plans
And I have mine
Will our paths meet
Somewhere down the line
I hope and I pray
Life will come along
Bringing us together
To share our song.
The days move along
The time sure flew
The sun is now setting
With thoughts of you

Draw You a Picture
Working my way
Through the daily grind
Smiles returning
Once so hard to find
New friendship found
Sharing so much
Life falling into place
The heart’s gentle touch
Teetering on the line
Not wanting to cross
Opening my heart
Chancing the loss
Moving too fast
In my heart of hearts
Mind keeps me steady
Using my smarts
I can’t call it off
It’s too late for me now
No more acting left
It’s time for the final bow
Cryptic and obvious
What more can I do
Draw you a picture
“I’ve fallen for you”

Smiles
Wandering aimlessly
Lost in translations
Where will it lead
Catching a glimpse
Seeing a hint
Of faith renewed
The heart starts to beat
The feet start to dance
The soul smiles once again
Slow and steady
The heart smiles
Faith is renewed
There is an answer
Down the dusty road
Dancing its way home
The face behind the smile
Reveals the heart behind
And the soul within
Clarity will come
Smiling all the way
To renew the life within
