Mighty Oak Stand tall oh mighty oak, for all the world to see, your strength and undying beauty forever amazes me. Though storm clouds hover above you, your branches span the sky, in search of the radiant sunlight you count on to survive. When the winds are high and restless and you lose a limb or two, it only makes you stronger, we could learn so much from you. Though generations have come and gone and brought about such change, quietly you've watched them all yet still remained the same. I only pray God give to me the strength he's given you, to face each day with hope, whether skies are black or blue, Life on earth is truly a gift every moment we must treasure, it's the simple things we take for granted that become our ultimate pleasures!

Mask I was once sad and lonely, Having nobody to comfort me, So I wore a mask that always smiled; To hide my feelings behind a lie. Before long, I had many friends, With my mask, I was one of them. But deep inside, I still felt empty, Like I was missing a part of me. Nobody could hear my cries at night For I designed my mask to hide the lies. Nobody could see the pain I was feeling For I designed my mask to be laughing. Behind all the smiles were the tears And behind all the comfort were the fears. Everything you think you see, Wasn't everything there was to me. Day by day, I was slowly dying. I couldn't go on, There was something missing, Until now I'm still searching For the thing that'll stop my crying. For someone who'll erase my fears, For the person who'll wipe my tears. But till then I'll keep on smiling. Hiding behind this mask I'm wearing. Hoping one day I can smile, Till then, I'll be here, waiting...! [� Matt - October 2008] |

The Soul Print Sitting in peaceful places Upon Nature's natural faces Silent sounds of the River's rushing The Wind with the Trees harmoniously brushing Quiet Clouds above calmly passing by A Sea of blue and white that pleases the Eye Mountains in the distance sit still in yellow light The Sun ahead constantly coloring every sight Never again will we ever be here At this very moment let us not fear For this is where the mind is content This is where the Soul leaves its print!

Nature's Hand Walking towards a wishful dream, By your side a crooked stream, Above, the clouds are fluffy cream, No longer do you want to scream. The air, it smells so sweet. The birds go, twitter tweet. Soft grass to place your feet. You groove with nature's beat. Out here, there are no cars. Out here, there are no bars. Nighttime brings you Venus, Mars, Uncountable amounts of stars. Take it all in friendly stride, Don't ever feel you have to hide. This is where you reach inside, And spread your wings; feel them glide. Your life is yours, not theirs to take. Light a fire by the lake. Always love, with whom you wake, Never let your friendships break. Always live without regret. Don't give up, not now, not yet. Know the future isn't set. Appreciate what love you get. I know that nature's trees are tall, There's some you cannot climb at all- Full in Spring 'til Autumn's Fall, Covered in a winter shawl. And as the seasons come and go, You'll see the stream begin to grow. Filled by your whole life you know, Carried in the winds that blow. Listen to the song it sings- Love and peace is what it brings. Sharing all the little things, Smoothing over dents and dings. That what living's all about. Never fill it up with doubt. Look real close to find this out- Always seek the kinder route. And you will see, my oldest friend, This dreamy life, it has no end. There's always more beyond the bend, Nature's hand, a limb, to lend! [� Carol Lafreniere - February 2011] |

AN ANGEL'S TOUCH The tender touch of angel wings, Brush softly past your face; Summoned by soft spoken prayers, To stand here in this place. Called to keep and guard you, To touch your heart with love; Sent as special messengers, From a holy place above. Sent to whisper words of peace, To calm a restless soul; Sent to watch you as you sleep, Their angel wings unfold. They cover you with tenderness, They watch your slumbering face; They call you into peaceful rest, As they stand here in this place. They walk beside you every step, As you go about your day; Their mission is to guard you, As you travel on your way. So if you feel a tender touch, A breeze upon your face; Just know I prayed for angels, To keep you in this place. [Allison Chambers Coxsey - �1994] |

THE BEAUTY IN YOU I see you in the morning, When the sun glows through the haze; As the beauty of a thousand lights, Bring forth a newborn day. In the fragrance of a tender flower, Touched and kissed by morning dew; When its petals spread to seek the sun, It is there that I see you. As I look on the horizon, See an eagle take to flight; In all its strength and beauty, I see you in the sky. I can hear you in the silence, Of a summer's afternoon; As soft warm breeze sweeps over me, Your quietness fills my room. I can smell you in the distant rain, As it falls to kiss the ground; The clean and earthy smell of you, Its fragrance does surround. Then as the sun falls softly, And night breeze fills the air; As stars come twinkling from the sky, I see your beauty there. Though splendor does surround me, It never will replace; The beauty that my heart does see, When I behold your face. [Allison Chambers Coxsey - �2005 ~ All Rights Reserved] |
