Power My Life

Power my life
To be the best
The best
I can be.

Let no secrets keep me
From being that one
I want
Need to be.

Let joy soar
Singing far above
And
Around my head.

I see what I’m capable of
All I need
All
I want to be.

I Don’t Know The Answer

I don’t know the answer 
nor the question 
I was asked 

I’m living with 
what has happened 
what has come to pass 

Will it still be here tomorrow 
will it be all I need
I need to ask 

No answers come forth 
because the answers 
are hidden 

Hidden deep 
deep within
the questions asked.

I Saw You

I saw you
You filled my heart
My life did soar
This is all I need
I need no more.

A Million Miles Away

A million miles away
The sun shines
No matter
The time of day.

My heart must bring
That sun from far
To my day, my walk
My way.

Holding close all
That’s good
All I need to make
It thru today.

From a million miles away
The sun shines
Shines on me
As I’m on my way.

Hope

Hope is all I have
To get me through the day.

Hope that all the bad
Will disappear like yesterday.

Hope I have the strength
To stand tall and say

I am good
I am the best
I am all I need
I will leave the rest.

Another World

Another world drifting by
Deep, high in the sky
No words said, no lies or cries
Life lived in another way
A world that gives but never stays.

This world’s sky is lit
By that that seems round
Hardened softness no one knows
Nor hears a sound.

Another world far away
So profound
Guides me by day and night
My path is full of light
I tread on gentle ground.

Another world makes me see
Love in this world
No need to be in that other world
My world is all I need.
