A Peaceful Life

Does Lie In Store 

A Peaceful World Is Waiting

The butterflies dance around my head
For some reason I feel that I am dead
Sitting here naked and content
For me now the lord has sent
His angels here flying high
Me, he'll now take to the sky
To a beautiful wonderful place
My heart now begins to race
For now I know that I am free
To soar the peaceful skies you see
A place where I long to go
Mom is waiting there I know
Standing there with her beautiful smile
Oh, I haven't seen her in a while
Almost two years since she went away
On that terrible September day
A day still etched within my mind
My mothers death so unkind
But with her death there came a peace
Inside my heart the Lord did ease
I know she'll never again feel that pain
Nor will the tears flow down her face like the rain
Never again will I have to watch her cry
Telling another loved one goodbye
For now she is with them in death
That final day she took her last breath
So for now I'll just live and be content
Until that day his angels are sent

I Will Always

Love You 

Love Is Strange

I sit here in the darkness
all my thoughts are on you.
I just wish I could wash them away
but I'm afraid there here to stay.
It seems we can't make this love work
and inside my heart the pain really hurts.
No matter what I do
my memories of you won't go away.
I wish our paths hadn't crossed that lonely day.
Love is so strange
And sometimes it's blind
Sometimes it's even
a little unkind.
I guess that I'll love you
to my very last day.
But for now I have to leave you
I must go away.
