I'll Brave The Day
I’m on my own,
alone.
But I mustn’t let it get me down,
I mustn’t frown.
A smile is the order of the day,
I should obey.
It’s hard though, one often feels low.
What can I do,
it’s so easy to feel blue,
when there’s no one to lend an ear,
no one to hear.
The tears can come, it matters little now,
and I’ll manage somehow,
to move along.
I’ll try to stay strong,
now I’m on my own,
alone.
I try not to think,
or my heart would sink.
So I’ll brave the day,
he would want it that way.

The Best Of Friends
A friend mustn't be with you for you to know she is the best of friends
a friend mustn't flatter you to hear you say you are the best
a friend mustn't say you are the sister i never had for you to know she is the sister you never had.
The best of friend is the one you know is always by your side no matter the distance
the best of friends is the one who shows how much she loves you by her actions
the best of friends supports you, advise you, console you and alway think about you.
They accepts your behaviors and personality and try to make it perfect
they make you feel at home where ever you go
they always give you a hug at every time they can.

Spread A Little Happiness
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try
What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true
Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
I've got a creed for every need
So easy that it must succeed
I'll set it down for you to read
So please, take heed
Keep out the gloom
Let in the sun
That's my advice for everyon
It's only once we pass this way
So day by day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try
What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true
Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
(whistling solo)
Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by

Sleep
When my mom came
Inside my room
I was under a blanket
And water smooth on window panes
Was trickling in the rain
The candles burned
When the wax curled
And fell on my mom's finger
And softly I
Without a sound
Sat up inside my bed
And put my finger onto hers
And calmly I just said,
'You mustn't weep
You mustn't cry
For daddy didn't really die.
He's waiting for us in his room
He will wake up
next afternoon
I promise you, he's
here alright
Along with us,
not out of sight
Not in the heavens,
Or in the ground
He's sleeping,
sweetly,
Safe and sound.
Believe me, mama
He's alive.
You mustn't cry
You mustn't weep,
I swear I heard him.
He's just... asleep.

Two Beautiful Flowers
I saw you yesterday with that brave smile on your face, and it cut
I tried to look your way with a reassuring smile, but still it cut into me
Both of us now, you with the tears fought back, me with a heart that could so easily crack, as I saw you yesterday with that brave look upon your face
I shall miss you, in ways that I may never find easy to say
And I will cry from a very deep part of me inside
But like the phoenix, though mythical in story
In truth, a simile, I cannot hide
For in your smile my darling, I see something that is born of hope
Something had to die in-order for something to be fixed that was too easily
Broke
But sometimes just as winter has taught me of it's cold
, I shall try hard to numb the feelings that take such a strong hold
I will shake them off with laughter and tears and shout to the heavens.
'Please Lord Keep them well and stand, their side
These two beautiful Angels

I miss my twin sister
My twin sister...
Many people said like that to us
Even, we are not coming from the same dad and mom
But our figure are almost the same
I remember when the time she visit me and my husband
My tears came up from my eyes
I don't know why i did that
Maybe because i need her to share my feeling
I need her to hear my story
You lend me everything
You lend me your books
You lend me your Bible
You lend me your dress
You give many precious gifts to me
You lend me your husband to take me
You lend me your husband to hear my sharing
I am sorry my sister, I know i hurt you
But, i never want to replace your place
He is your King
and You are his Queen
No one can't doubt me for that
Please, smile for me
You look so pretty with that dress
He is so lucky to have you
Pray for me.... so i can live my life with smile
What The Poet Was Telling Himself In 1848
You mustn't seek out power, mustn't grab the helm
Your work lies elsewhere, spirit of another realm,
In innocence withdraw before this moment here.
Lover of thought in mourning both sweet and severe-,
Disdained or understood by men still you must live
Shepherd for their tending, priest to blessings give.
When citizens embittered by their misery,
Sons of the same France and of the same Paris,
Slit one another's throats; when at each corner loom
Barricades just sprung up, sinister, wrapped in gloom
Rising, vomiting death at once and everywhere
Though unarmed and alone you must simply go there;
Must in this vile, awful and unholy war show
Your chest, your heart, you have to let your spirit flow,
To speak, to pray, to save both the weak and the strong,
To smile under fire and weep for the dead now gone;
Then to rise, calm, to your place in isolation
And to defend within the fervent collocation
Those that it would judge or from society eject,
To overturn the scaffold, to serve and to protect
The order and the peace that rash actors have shaken,
And our soldiers - by the little general taken,
And the man of the people sent to the asylum,
And the laws, and also our sad and proud freedom;
To offer consolation, at this fateful day,
To the divine art that shudders, weeps, and to stay
Awaiting for the rest the moment decisive.
Your role is to inform and to remain pensive.

When I Talk To You
Remember me
Feels like forever
Since the days
When we were friends
I don't understand
All these changes
I'm still the same
No need to pretend
Where'd it go..?
Do you know..?
Maybe it just doesn't matter
'Cause when i try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk...
When I talk to you
There were times
In the beginning
When you were there
When I needed you most
We'd sit and talk
About the future
And laugh about
Us getting old
Do you know
How it feels
I hope that you know that it matters
But when i try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk to you
I want you to know everything that I am
Don't want to know what life would be without you
When i try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk...
When I talk to you

Smile Or Frown
Pairs of opposites
Half of them parasites
In the lives of mortals
Invading their portals!
Smile and frown one such
World of difference so much!
Smile attracts, Frown repels
Smile wins, Frown loses
Smile befriends, Frown alienates
Smile infuses love, Frown injects hatred
Smile encourages, Frown deserts
Smile strengthens, Frown weakens
Smile carries, Frown throws off
Humans alone can control
And conquer to play their role!
Sport the smile
Bid adieu to frown
Make others happy
Feel really merry!

Feels So Right
Words and music by randy owen
Whisper to me softly three words upon my skin.
No ones near and listenin, so please dont say goodbye.
Just hold me close and love me.
Press your lips to mine.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right.
Lying here beside you, I hear the echoes of your sighs.
Promise me youll stay with me and keep warm tonight.
So hold me close and love me.
Give my heart a smile.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right.
Your body feels so gentle and my passion rises high.
Youre lovin me so easy.
Your wish is my command.
Just hold me close and love me.
Tell me it wont end.
Mm, feels so right, feels so right, feels so right.
Aw, you feel so right baby.

Change of Heart
You wiped perspiration from your brow
You know you mustn’t take this seriously as a big blow
So you sat down and tried to get your composure back
You can't pretend nothing happened and you shrugged.
Finally you stood up, and to friends you bid goodbye
Leaving the crowd with your heavy heart and sigh
As you drove your car you shook your head
And murmured, “Oh, this should not be the end.”
From the music inside your car
Still you can hear her annoying sound
Among the crowd she hardly puts on her crown.
This is not the first time, she’s boastful and proud.
She always acts as if she is the best in town.
Many times she hurt you but you didn’t frown
You remain faithful, keep her out of blue
Even though she is not worthy of you.
This was your thoughts as you drove by the street
“Oh yes! ” you exclaimed in relief.
And you stepped on the break carefully.
You told yourself, “I can handle this, she can’t steal my dignity
From now on she can’t gravely underestimate my capacity.
She cannot put me down.
I have my degree and she has none
I have my resolution and it’s done now.
Stay away from her and forget her somehow.”

'Poet! Poet! Poet! Poet! '
I'm feeling nervous but I mustn't show it!
'Poet! Poet! Poet! Poet! '
I hope to heaven that I won't blow it!
'Poet! Poet! Poet! Poet! '
I mustn't reveal that I'm a second-rate poet!

If you've got no talent you'll have to grow it!

When It All Said And Done
when its all said and done
and my tears dry up
and my heart begins to beat
as i rampage through the
pieces i will remember you
not for the bad but for the good
cause you keep me strong
when i feel down
you picked me up when
i couldn't move
you showed me light in the dark
so as i sprinkle sand on your grave
a warm smile of piece comes around
as i hold my tears back
missing you is so easy to do
as your always on my mind
i move on cause its
what you want me to do
some times i cry when am alone
all because i miss you
and that my brother is the full truth
so when its all said and done
and am done falling apart
i will break down again cause your memory
i forever will hold near

Poetry And Politics Should Not Be Mixed
I love my poetry pure and personal
The feelings of the single soul
In loneliness and love
In sadness and in happiness
But when they call us animal names
And say they want to kill us all
And when they make us into microbes and cancers
They say they will exterminate
How can I go on just by myself only for myself?
Mustn’t I say I come from a people
Whose Name for God means Peace
And who teach Kindness as life’s first quality?
A people who perhaps more than any other
Have suffered cruelty in their struggle to survive?
Mustn’t I with my small words nonetheless strive to say
We will fight to survive
Though
We in Israel want no wars and no hate and no killing and no death
We want our neighbors to thrive and prosper
And all peoples to live and worship in their own way
Mustn’t I say
War will be waged only reluctantly as last resort
As Peace for all
Is what we need and pray
Lion with the lamb
Under fig tree and vine
As our prophets taught in the Holy Land
So many years ago.

Matters Of The Heart
I lose my head
From time to time
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
We should have been holding each other
Instead we talked
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
But I asked before
Your reply was kind and polite
One wants more
When ones denied
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I wont call it love
But it feels good to have passion in my life
If theres a battle
I hope my head always defers to my heart
In matters of the heart
I guess Im crazy to think
I can give you what you dont want
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I wish that I had the power
To make these feelings stop
I lose all self control
In matters of the heart
I cant believe
Its so hard to find someone
To give affection to
And from whom you can receive
I guess its just the draw of the cards
In matters of the heart
You caught me off guard
Somehow you reached me
Where I thought I had nothing left inside
Ive learned my lesson Ive been edified
In matters of the heart
Ive spent my nights
Where the sleeping dogs lie
Not by your side
It feels so lonely
Once again Ive left to much to chance
In matters of the heart
Here I sit
Im feeling sorry for myself
Its quite a sight
But I have you to thank
For reminding me
Were all alone in this world
And in matters of the heart
Im already missing you
Although we wont say good byes
Until tomorrow afternoon
Maybe when and if I see you again
Well see eye to eye
In matters of the heart
I have no harsh words for you
I have no tears to cry
If the moon were full
Id be howling inside
It only hurts
In matters of the heart
If today were my birthday
Id be reborn
As brontes bird a bird that could fly
And all accounts would be settled
In matters of the heart
Matters of the heart

Back n Blue
Every night
Caught up on the same old dream
I hear your broken heart
Crumbling down and haunting me
And everyday
Try to tell myself it aint so hard
But then I hear your name
And it feels like a grip around my heart
till I change the way you feel
till I change the world
So help me girl
Ill show you wounds can heal
Chorus
* tell ya what Im gonna do
Ill be comin back for you
Ill move the mountains
Part the sea
Anything for you
Ill be back n blue
Back n blue
Forget that girl
She could never take your place
Its hard enough
When you look at me that way
I know I was caught red-handed
I wouldnt blame you if you twist the knife
I swear Ive come to my senses
Tell me what to do
Anyday Ill make it right
Ive got to change the way you feel
If I have to Ill change the world
So help me girl
Ill beg borrow and steal
If thats what it takes
* repeat
Back n blue
Back n blue
Back n blue
Back n blue
At t-till make you believe me
Im prepared to make any sacrifice
The shadow of our love keeps gettin bigger
Without your love Ill sure die
Chorus
Tell you what Im gonna do
I keep comin back for you
Ill move the mountains
Part the sea
Anything for you
Ill be back n blue back n blue
Back n blue
So help me girl
Beg borrow and steal
If thats what it takes
Ill be back n blue back n blue
Im prepared to make any sacrifice
Back n blue
Back n blue
So help me girl

I Dont Fall In Love So Easy
(written by rodney crowell)
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know how it feels
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know if its real
Too strong dont mean its for long
Too deep dont mean its for keeps
Fast doesnt last
I dont fall in love so easy
But Im fallin in love with you
I dont give my heart to just anyone
I dont even know how to do it
I dont give my hand to just any man
I dont wanna put myself through it
I dont want what I dont want
I cant feel what I dont feel
Its sad but its true
I dont fall in love so easy
But Im fallin in love with you
I used to pray someday to change
But I found new ways to stay the same
Until you came
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know where to start
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont understand my own heart
Its so hard to drop my guard
I dont know how to just let go
But what else can I do
I dont fall in love so easy
But Im fallin in love with you
Im fallin in love with you
Yes, Im fallin in love with you

Sonnet: We Just Carry On
Sometimes, the cup we sip from is but gall!
And cannot quench the thirst despite the drink;
The cup of woes sometimes may come to all,
Before we leave or live or slowly sink.
Nevertheless, we ought to keep going,
Until our life on earth can ebb someday;
And lose our heart, we mustn’t human being;
No matter what hurdles may come our way.
Carry on life with cheer and always smile;
No one knows when our journey sees its end;
No one knows when one walks his last mile;
To death, our cruel fate, we all must bend.
Live life the way God wants each one of you;
Rewards on earth could be quite worthless too!

You mustn't catch an angel
You mustn't catch an angel,
No matter how much you try,
I know you want to be protected,
But theres already one alive.
We mustn't catch an angel,
NO matter how much we cry,
We know we don't like being lonely,
But theres and angel by our-side.
I know you want to be loved,
I know you want faith,
Theres someone by our-side,
Even if were lonely or with our friends,
Theres always someone who will love us til the end.
We have an angel,
We also have a simple destiny,
A destiny to have the one they love.
Your angel is within us and our friends,
Our angel is also in God's protection,
But an angel is an angel no matter how small.
So you mustn't catch an angel,
No matter how much it is important,
Becauseyour angel is around you.
I would never catch an angel,
Even if I tried,
My angels are around me,
And I didn't have to try.
Angels are among us,
All you have to do is look,
The angel here,
Are the angels of you and me,
We are an angel to someone,
Just believe its true,
And you will see.
