"I never really had a dream come true"

"I never had a dream come true -
till the day that you found me..."
then everything seems to happen all at once -
and i seem to be walking on Cloud 9 every day...

Though i know not how long this happy feeling will last -
i will still go on hoping that it will stay forever so...
though i know not how the world will take to this -
my new outlook on love and life, society and norms...
i will not give up trying to hold on -
to that most wonderful dream...

So, forgive me if i am wrong -
but i've made my choice,
and my decision to go on -
with that new outlook on love and life...

Loving You

Yes, i love all of you -
and loving you
is the best thing
i can do...

For it is love -
that spurs me on
and nothing but love -
that lifts me over all the hurdles...

When i'm down -
and giving up seems so easy
it is love for you -
that helps me to strive on...

When days are cloudy -
love makes the sun shine through...
and if it rains or storms -
love will keep me safe to carry on...

So i've lived on the loving look -
on all your happy, smiling faces...
i've relied on your loving support -
to get me through each difficult day...

And it is always love, nothing but love -
for 'love conquers all' is true for me, and all...

"Everything that I do"

I've done many things in my life -
and lately, I've strived to do much, much more...
i've tried to stretch every minute of every day -
that i may have yet a minute more than before...
for i feel time is running out on me -
as this last lap is coming to a final end...

So, everything that i do, every day of my life -
i do them for you...
everything that i plan, and carry out, every day -
i do them just for you...
that i may leave this, my last effort -
to do everything i can, just for you...

And on the day when i say my goodbyes -
i'll have no regrets:
that i've not done my best -
that i've not given my all...
for i have tried giving my best -
and i've tried giving all that i possibly can...


Coz everything that i do -
i do them just for you...

Life is not only "a bed of roses..."

Finally it dawned on me -
that the facts of life cannot be denied:
for life can never be only a bed of roses -
without the thorns;
or a herd of huge beefy bisons -
without their horns...

So is it, and so be it, with my life -
since that is the fact of life:
i've got my share of happiness, my joyful moments -
but i've got to walk down the thorny paths, as well...
i've got my fair share of pain and suffering -
as well as the joy of loving and giving - living...

I've always been thankful for my good fortune -
and taken mishaps and misfortune in my stride, too...
i've always accepted what Destiny has in store for me -
with the great hope that i won't just be picking rose petals...
scattered by the wind and trampled underfoot in the gloom -
that one day all the promising rose buds would be in full bloom...

And i'll sit and wait patiently -
for this rosy dream to come true...

Writing from my heart

I love to write - from my heart -
and that's what i always do...
i love to tell whatever's old and new -
straight from my heart - just like i often do...

So let me know if it hurts to know -
what's buried in my heart, old or new...
let me know if you wish to hear not -
what has always been there - buried in my heart...

And i feel i must pour out my heart -
to someone who would listen, once in a while...
and i feel that i should let you know -
what you should rightly know: the truth...

So i'll just go on pouring out my heart -
and hope that one day you'll understand:
that the truth cannot be concealed for it's there -
a secret that won't stay buried in my heart forever...

Just say that you'll understand -
that what has to be, has to be...
coz it's Destiny's game -
coz it's written in the stars...

And i hope love will always be there -
to see us through that last lap of our life...

"I cried a tear or two"

There were times when i cried a tear, or two -
and it was just for you... that little tear or two...
there were times when i had them all flowing swiftly -
and they were all tears for you, too...

For it pains me to remember your smile -
without wanting to cry a little tear for you...
it hurts me to know you aren't yourself lately -
though i know why, and that's the reason i cry, for you...

And when i hear our favourite song on the radio -
i'll be thinking of you, singing those sad, sad lines alone...
for though you smiled and said you'll manage without me -
i know... the smile says it all: you won't, and you can't...

And i know, for every tear that i shed, you suffer more -
for you love me deeply, i know... and i can feel it - i know...

"All kinds of everything"

When i hear a sad song over the radio -
or catch a whisper among the leaves in the wind...
when i hear laughter under the trees,in the park -
or the sound of a morning storm brewing in the dark...
and fierce winds churning up a distant cloud of dust -
or when clear blue skies turn murky with threatening clouds...
i'll remember you... driving around the countryside alone -
and wonder if you are thinking of blue skies, and happy times...?

When i see rose petals, fading in the shade -
or a lonely-looking bird searching for its lost mate...
when i see forlorn faces wandering in the park -
or a single pair of footprints tracing another in the sand...
i'll be asking,"Where is your mate...?" -
"Is she no longer near...? Is that why you are sad?"

And when i hear the wolf howl in the moonlit night -
i'll be wondering if such a tortured cry speaks of missing its mate...?
