Poetry (written as a teenager)
Trail of tears
and that big world
of fears.
Can or will I overcome it?
I sit here waiting
for my mind to
keep creating
And now
I have found
my dream.
-1993
In every heart there is a place
To hold, to cherish, to believe in.
In every heart there is a bond
Too strong to hold on, too weak to let go.
In every heart there’s one word
A word that explains the pain.
In every heart there’s forgiveness
Too powerful to understand
In my heart there’s you
I won’t let go.
In your heart there’s me
You won’t let go.
Together our in hearts
We won’t let go.
-1995
Raindrops fall from my face
Teardrops fall from a roses embrace
My heart opens for love once again
To see you stand there just as a friend
I see the sun rise and fall
I feel its warmth and hear its call
I dream of peace and happiness
I sense fear and troubledness
I want you around through thick and thin
I want you in my life without the pain there’s been
I feel the power within my soul
To see you standing there with so little control
As I wrap up my life and see what its worth
I know it will be wonderful because fate takes its course.
-1996
I believe the sun will always shine
I believe in friendship that is true
I believe in love
I believe in fate
I believe eyes are sacred
I believe dreams come true
I believe my heart will break
I believe that people change
I believe lost souls live on
I believe in myself
I believe in myself
As long as I believe I can
-1997
