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!

Be Thankful

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

Thoughts of you

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”

Draw You a Picture

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

Smiles

Drowinging my sorrows
in a bottle of gin
hoping and praying
that someday I’ll win

Drinking is not the answer
but for now it will have to do
how else will I
work on forgetting about you

It seems the thing
that has to be done
why, oh why?
We have so much fun

It should have been different
I should have known
splitting your love
could only spell doom

You gave me a choice
with no choice involved
I sit here thinking
nothing’s resolved

So I stare into my drink
and drown my sorrows
while I sit here and think
there is are no tomorrows.
