I'm ready for love

Take my hand and lead the way;
tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
all those things I want to hear.
Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you're nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it's time for me to watch it fall.
I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you'll find I won't put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within . . .
I'm ready now, let love begin.

I found the light once again

I found the one who put the light back in my eyes,
I found the one who will hear me cry
I found the one who holds me tight
I found the one who surrounds me with Holy Water
I found the one who will never let go
I found some to call me his angel
I found the one to wash away the pain
I found the one who's near when I'm hurt
I found the one who I want to be lost with
I found the one who's kiss will seal our fate
I found the one who means the world and then some
I will watch my dreams come true with you
I've waited my whole life for this love that can't be broken
I've never been afraid of losing until you
You make everything wrong go away
You make things right
You feel my love when no one else can
You see me when everyone else refuses to
You know me when others don't
I'll wait for you on the other side of the door
when the time comes,
for your kiss sealed our fate that can't be broken
I've been hurt, but you make the pain go away
You've put the smile back on my face just when I thought it was gone forever
The love I feel is the love I've saved for you
No one else comes close
When no one else is there, you always come through
We've been though tough times and we're standing strong
Strong we'll stand forever
For our love can't be broken

A mother's child

A mother's child is every breath that she takes,
walking hand in hand, they are every step that she makes.

And as their steps will grow to strides,
still a child, in mother's eyes.

Every ache and pain they shall feel,
mother will share and with love she will kneel.

She will pray to God to take care of her child,
to protect and guide them through every mile.

Her child is the very core of her soul,
from baby in arms to an adult they will grow.

For to a mother, her child will stay,
the precious infant she held that day.

The Angels Cry

On the day that you were born,
I know the angels cried,
To send away from them to me,
A most wonderful and delightful child.
For you have brought
Such joy to me,
And for this
I am so grateful.
But I know they miss you,
From around the Master's table.
I feel honored and blessed this day
To have you by my side,
For you, my child, my gift from God,
Have brought to me such peace and joy.
I feel I must confide,
My child, I can't thank God enough.

My pain

Everything always goes so well
But with the slip of the tongue it goes so wrong
Words are just words
But are like a dagger through heart when spoken with anger

You push and push
The tears come so easy
Too bad you couldn't see them
Your too busy trying to hurt me
If only you could open your eyes and really look
then you would see the tears running down my cheek

You think it's a game
For me its a choice
Do I stay or do I go?
I turn my head so you can't see
at night I muffle my face into the pillow so you can't hear
that what you say does indeed cause me pain

your words cut deep
deeper than any cut through the skin
the pain worse than a blade slicing through
why can't you open your eyes and see that when words hurt it's time to change

when words hurt they say it's time to go
people don't see though
they don't see the love that I have for you
the love that I have is real
why would you hurt me

I can take the words
I can take the pain
I can take the silence
I can take it all
except the tears you can't see.

I close my eyes

I close my eyes
I breathe in
I breathe out
The head rush comes and goes

I wonder what it would be like to let go
Stretch my arms out
Feel the blood flow all the way to my fingertips

Oh what I would give to walk to the edge
To just let go
Let the air take me away
Guide me some place nice

Let me drift away
Let me leave my problems behind
Let me have some inner peace
Because it all goes away when I close my eyes

I feel at peace
I feel relaxed
I feel not that of pain but that of love
Love I have for myself

But only when I close my eyes

Tiny little fingers

Tiny little fingers
Oh so small
Tiny little fingers out to explore the world
Tiny little fingers strive on curiosity

I love the way your tiny little fingers grab my thumb and you laugh
Tiny little fingers
Oh so precious

Your tiny little fingers keep you occupied for hours
They want nothing but to touch new things
Tiny little fingers help ease the pain of new toothies

Tiny fingers show the signs of hungriness
Your so cute when you rub your sleepy eyes with your tiny little fingers
All and all they might be just tiny little fingers but they mean the world to me.

April Lynn is my baby girl
Her love is in my heart for sure
She knows no greater love than mine
April Lynn is my baby girl

April Lynn is my baby girl
Her smile is big as the sun
Her eyes deep as the sea
She's got hair gold as a field of golden grain
April Lynn is my baby girl

April Lynn is my baby girl
Her laugh brings tears to my eyes for sure
She's in my heart forever more
April Lynn is my baby girl

Love

Love
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!

Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!

Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.

Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!

Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.

Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero,
I am strong and wise,
And I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I wanna be, in my daughters eyes.


In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace,
This miracle God gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak,
I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes.


And when she wraps her hand around my finger,
Oh, it puts a smile in my heart.
Everything becomes a little clearer.
I realize what life is all about.
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough;
It's giving more when you feel like giving up,
I've seen the light it's in my daughter's eyes.



In my daughter's eyes, I can see the future.

A reflection of who I am, and what will be.
And though she'll grow and, some day leave
Maybe raise a family,
When I'm gone, I hope you'll see,
How happy she made me,



For I'll be there, in my daughter's eyes
(Martina McBride)
