You seem to forget

You seem to forget
And there are things you’ll regret
You’re letting me go
And dealing me a hard blow

You think that I won’t survive another fall
But I always end up standing tall
In time I shall forget
All the things I’ve come to regret

I let you into my life again
Knowing how I hurt back then
I assumed you changed over time
But it’s the same old nursery rhyme

I was the princess in your world
The girl you always twirled
Now you’re letting me go once again
But I won’t let myself hurt like I did back then

I’m grown
I should’ve known
It would be the same
I thought that perhaps you’d become tame

I was so very wrong
But I shan’t hold onto the pain too long
Because I did it before
And my heart you tore

My heart’s bruised today
And the pains fading away
Because I’m used to you saying goodbye
I shan’t even cry

You only see the bad
And what makes me mad
Is that I’ll always love you
Despite everything you’ve put me though

I was your princess once upon a time
Now I’m not worth a nursery rhyme
But it’s okay because I can make it through each day

As We Grow-Part 2

We live, we learn and we grow
We try to pave a safe path on which to go
We learn from the past and every mistake
And learn to adapt with every step we take

With life moving ahead
We try to be well read
So that we can make it through
As each day we start anew

As we grow
We learn to let go
Of the things we used to be
And we become independent and free

Each day, we try to pave the way
To have a brighter day
So we look back at the past and every mistake
And are careful with every step we take

We leave what was in the past
We learn when to run fast
And make new friends
And we form better bonds over the curvy bends

As we grow
We need to know
That the past has made us who we are today
And that from that past we can walk away

From looking at the past and every mistake
We’re cautious with each step we take
We learn to know who you can trust completely
And who to walk away from neatly

We form friendships that will last every day of life
We learn who to count on through the worst strife
We grow and become better and brighter than before
And aren’t afraid to open a new door.

Blessed

To have been blessed with people who truly care is a rare thing
I’m lucky to have people who’ll stand by me no matter what the future will bring
I’ve been blessed because I’m able to live, laugh and learn
To have people to whom I can always turn

To have somebody at your side no matter what’s happening in life
To be there when you feel life’s’ greatest and hardest strife
Is truly the best blessing for any person to have today
Because when things get hard today people tend to run the other way

To have somebody who will tell you the truth even if it hurts you
Is a gift because you know that the person is true
To have somebody to laugh with is the greatest treasure
Because true laughter melts away any displeasure

To have people in your life to help you learn each day
Is not something one ought to throw away
To know that there are people you love and love you back
Is something to remember when your world feels black

I’m blessed to have people I love, can learn and laugh with each day
I’m glad that you guys are in my life to stay
You guys are each a true gem
And none of you would I ever condemn.

We hope, pray and dream

We hope, pray and dream
For a better day
For life to keep us going upstream
We hope, pray and dream to learn from yesterday

We hope, pray and dream to not to relive yesterday
To live to see a better tomorrow
To see how our lives’ will play
We hope, pray and dream to not have any more sorrow

We hope, pray and dream that our lives have no sorrow
That we can change what will be
That we can be better people on the morrow
We hope, pray and dream to be calm lying under a palm tree

We hope, pray and dream that we grow like a tree
And hope to grow to be wise and strong
And to be able to see what we couldn’t see
We hope, pray and dream to learn from all that’s wrong

We hope, pray and dream that when things go wrong
That we know how to stand tall
And how to hold on for long
We hope, pray and dream that somebody’s there to catch us when we fall

We hope, pray and dream that when we fall
We will be able to rise again
And know who to call
We hope, pray and dream of the strength the pen

We hope, pray and dream that the words we write with that pen
Will help us heal
And pray for our own sacred glen
We hope, pray and dream to be able to feel

We hope, pray and dream that our dreams will come true
We write them down
In hopes that they do
We hope, pray and dream that we never drown

Words heal
A pen is mightier than the sword
Words will help us deal
We hope, pray and dream that our words will help our joy to be restored.
