what if you lost it all tomorrow?

What if u lost it all tomorrow, 
And u came home and it was all gone ? 
All your cd's and movies and clothing ? 
The couch and your copy of Pong ? 
What if u lost all your worldly posessions ? 
What would you have to take with u ? 
Would u have Jesus Christ in your heart? 
Or would u just be all alone and blue?

Memories

Memories run thru my mind 
from time to time 
some good, some bad 
all flowing like wine 
like the birds 
they fly by and visit me 
experiences i've had 
that make me 
me

A kind word never goes unheard

A kind word never goes unheard
A true friend will be true til the end
A good song will stay with you all day long
A smart man makes as many friends as he can

your secret admirer

its hard to find the words 
to describe my love for you 
words like immortal, 
eternal, forever and true 

eternal beauty 
keeper of my heart 
love at first sight 
yes i've loved you from the start 

although you're way out of my league 
and don't know i'm alive 
my love for you is timeless 
and forever will survive 

how can we be together 
when you dont know i'm alive 
signed, your secret admirer 
forever and for all time. 

Broken pieces

u broke my heart and left me crying 
u stole my soul 
waltzed out the door 
u took my dreams and left them shattered 
broken pieces on the floor 

Lost love

You cant lose something that you never had. 
I thought that i had lost your love, 
And that made me feel bad. 
Now that time has passed 
I can see more clearly. 
You were only using me 
Altho i loved u dearly  

Creative thoughts

Creative thoughts 
Run thru my mind 
From time to time 
If i can find a pen and paper 
I can make them mine 
If not they are lost 
In the sands of time 
Creative thoughts 
Crash like waves 
On the shores of my mind 
If i can catch them 
I can share them 
Preserve them for all time 
If not they are lost 
And they may never again return 
Never be heard 
Never be mine 
Lost forever in time
