Someday

In your arms watching fireflies go by
Holding your hand as we walk down the lane
Tickle fights that I hated to much
Making a heart with our hands
All those pictures we took.

My wish is someday you will look back
on all those memories and smile.
Maybe not now, there's always tomorrow.
Maybe not tomorrow, because that is too soon.
Maybe not soon, but after we grow.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.

Texting late into the dark starry night
All the tender kisses we shared 
Not so tender words we spoke
Inside jokes could make us both laugh
The songs we both loved

My wish is someday you will look back
on all those memories and smile.
Maybe not now, there's always tomorrow.
Maybe not tomorrow, because that is too soon.
Maybe not soon, but after we grow.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.

It hurts now, I know
I feel it too
But God is a Healer, Restorer
it's true
His perfect plan is bigger
Bigger than the both of us.
Nothing can compare. 
And now we move forward
don't forget, but always look on
But, I have one last thing to say....

My wish is someday you will look back
on all those memories and smile.
Maybe not now, there's always tomorrow.
Maybe not tomorrow, because that is too soon.
Maybe not soon, but after we grow.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.

Sunglasses

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.

I didn't want you to see the tears in my eyes.

The tears that said how much I care for you.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.

I didn't want you to see the pain in my eyes.

The pain that said how I know we can never be.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.

I didn't want you to see my bloodshot eyes.

The same blood that pumps faster when you hold my hand.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.

I didn't want you to see my blue eyes.

The blue that gets deeper when I'm sad.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.

I didn't want you to see how my eyes squint.

The way they squint when I'm about to cry.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.

I didn't want you to see how my eyes shine.

The way they shine when I see you smile.

Rhythm of Love

As I stand here 
Alone and unafraid 
I think to my self 
Exactly how much You care for me 

Life comes and goes 
Ins and outs 
Ups and downs 
There will always be battles we face 

But there is one thing 
That keeps me steady 
Through the good and bad times 
One thing that will never let me go 

The rhythm of Love 
slow and steady 
firm but gentle 
beautiful to my ears 

The rhythm of Love 
carries me through 
never lets me go 
always by my side 

The rhythm of Love 
does not hate 
will not scorn 
is never selfish 

People may leave you 
Things may hurt you 
Places may disappear 
But Love, Love will stay 

God move me in time, 
In time to the rhythm of Love 
I want to stay steady, in tune 
to Your rhythm of Love

My Last First Day

Tomorrow marks the day 
that starts my last year. 
So whatever comes my way, 
God, help me get through it! 

Its time for new things. 
College applications, ACT scores, 
Graduation caps, class rings. 
And don't forget the senior prank! 

But some things have yet to change. 
Friends, drama, memories. 
Prom, homework, acting strange! 
I'll never forget the good or the bad. 

I'll do the best I can, 
and never ever give up! 
I look at how far I ran, 
Yet I've got just a bit more. 

I am torn. 
Half of me wants to be done. 
I am tired and worn. 
I want to move on. 

The other half is excited! 
I'm a senior! The best year of all! 
A fire has been ignited 
and I'm ready to go out with a bang! 

But, I know there's a reason 
God has me here for one more year. 
Maybe I'm not through with this season 
Of learning, growing, in Him. 

But anyway, 
I guess in this poem, 
All I wanted to say, 
is "Yay for seniors of 2010!" 

I Am Me

I am Me. Nobody else.
Don't tell me who I am.
Don't tell me what I've been through.
Don't tell me what I feel.

I am Me. My own person.
I like what I like.
I love what I love.
I hate what I hate.

I am Me. Me, myself and I.
Quirky.
Perky.
Concealed.

I am Me. Take me as I am.
With my choices.
With my beliefs.
With my faults.

I am Me. God created me.
My smile.
My laugh.
My tears.

I am Me. Jesus loves me.
When I fall. 
When I obey.
When I forget.

I am Me. 
And that's who I'm meant to be.

I Want to Be That Girl

I want to be the girl that he thinks, "There's something special about her".

I want to be the girl that he likes but doesn't really know why.

I want to be the girl that when I smile, his heart melts.

I want to be the girl that when I laugh, he does too just because.

I want to be the girl that when I sing, his heart plays the melody.

I want to be the girl that when I dance, he wants to sweep me up in his arms and say "I love you"

I want to be the girl that he is not ashamed to hold hands with.

I want to be the girl that when he looks in my eyes, he falls in love with me all over again.

I want to be the girl that when we kiss, he can't help but smile.

I want to be the girl that when he looks at me, he can see Jesus Christ

Free Spirit

A have a little brother. 
His name is Nathan. 
He is like none other. 
I call him my lucky star. 

Nathan can't walk. 
He sits in a chair with wheels, all day. 
Nathan can't talk. 
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have anything to say. 

Everytime I see him, I say a prayer. 
Thanking God for this precious gift. 
The gift isn't a toy or a teddy bear, 
But its the gift of a smiling face and a giddy laugh, 

Just because he is stuck in a chair all day, 
doesn't mean he has no thoughts or feelings. 
He loves to laugh and play, 
He is a person, just like me and you. 

Sometimes I wonder though, 
does he want to walk and talk? 
I wish I could know. 
Oh, how much I love him. 

His legs don't work, 
Its hard for him to speak 
But his face has a perk, 
And his spirit runs free.
