Flowers

The flowers in my garden
Aren’t for you to see
The walls I build around them
Are to leave them be
The shadows getting darker
Trees are all I see
Soon no one will see them
My flowers will cease to be
I need to get the light
To help my flowers grow
Who will help me find it?
Not anyone I know
Someone special out there
Will help my flowers grow
Their light will shine upon them
So that they can grow


Love

Somewhere I know you're thinking about me
And hope you know I'm thinking of you too
When will we be together again?
Will this pain never end?

Even though we are not together
I know our love will last forever
Nothing will ever stop me
From loving you the way I do

The time we spent together
I hold close to my heart
Though we cannot be together
Our hearts will never be apart


My Butterfly

Hello to my beautiful butterfly
To all the time that has past
So many bad times, all of the tears
And all of the good times that never last

To the future, my beautiful butterfly
I cannot see it, can you?
One thing is certain
Death will take me soon

So, my beautiful butterfly
Don't look to the future, or the past
Simply look at today, right now
I'm here with you

It is time for me to leave you
My beautiful butterfly
Remember me always
For I will never forget you


Time

Time is a useless word
No meaning to those who
Have endless amounts of it
Yet to those who never have enough

It seems more important
But we all have the exact
Same amount of time
24 hours in a day

60 minutes in an hour
It is all in how we use out time
No one will remember us
When we are gone

Individual lives have no meaning
Yet things remain the same
Time passes us all by
Every minute of every day


To My Friend

No one else knows me the way you do
No one else listens to me like you do
I owe you so much
For all that you’ve done for me
You are a true friend
Something I have found
Is hard to come by
And hard to keep
To me each and every person
We meet in life is special
But you are more than that
You’ve taught me so much
I learned from you
That I can love someone
Without asking why
And wondering if you love me too
I’ve had many friends
Through the past 20 years
But none stand out
As much as you
You are the only one
I know will still be here tomorrow
And I know for the rest of my life
We will always stay friends
