Neily

The heartstrings tugging once again

I thought of you today…

Memories from so long ago

decided they would stay

I found your picture in my drawer

and placed it near my heart…

The moment that I said your name

I quickly fell apart

I’m struggling just to take a breath

and tears won’t go away...

I can’t believe how much this hurts

I miss you bad today

Butterflies

One by one we gather round

to say our last goodbyes…

The memories of so many days

bring teardrops to our eyes

This life we shared was far too short

the years went by so fast…

The troubles that you faced in life

thank God, they’re gone at last

With grateful hearts we stand as one

to see you on your way…

We know you’re In a better place

and that you’re free today

Those clouds that came and blocked the sun

no longer in the sky…

Today you’re chasing butterflies

they’re teaching you to fly…

Winds Of Change

Winds of change are blowing now

my constants turn away...

The dreams I hoped I'd realize

not sure of that today

Looking for alternatives

solutions I might find...

Fear about the great unknown

preoccupies my mind

Searching deep within my soul

I hear a still small voice...

Everything will be alright

what comes, a better choice

Falling In Love

Sunset at South Beach is lovely tonight

lovers walk by and they smile…

Being with you and enjoying the sights

sure hope to stay for a while…

Crowds come together the band starts to play

laughing and dancing all night

Holding you close as the music slows down

kissing you under the lights…

Hoping to say what I feel deep inside

waiting for just the right time…

Searching your eyes for my place in your heart

hoping you really are mine…

I’m falling in love my dreams have come true

all I can think of is you…

Just when I thought I would never find love

the moment I saw you, I knew…

Rise Above My Fears

Sometimes life can be so hard

yes disappointments come…

Heartache touches everyone

some things you can’t outrun

Sometimes dreams are pushed aside

when life gets in the way…

Things you thought would never come

arrive and plan to stay

Sometimes hope is hard to find

when so much has been lost…

Courage sometimes slips away

when looking at the cost

Sometimes every now and then

I rise above my fears

I climb up to the mountain top

and there I shed my tears
