Surviving Life
i will speak
and speak out
speak out loud
if need be
trying to reach you
attempting to
get through to you
don't let the liars
cheaters and despisers
bring you down
to their level
tell you how to feel
they are the losers
the total opposite
of you
your love
and compassion
makes you rise high
above the rest
afterall, we
are survivors
you and i knowing
full well
our faith will
see us through

sweet freedom
i could write volumes
on all i've seen of
desolation and despair
but for what good purpose
no, i can not spread doom
for the world is full
of such loneliness and gloom
when compassion should rule
my lengthy prayers go up above
for peace for one and all
my fellowmen, choose freedom
ah, sweet freedoms steadfast call

Sweetest Love
i love you
not for a moment
not for just today
but forever
and in all ways
my sweetest love
you bring joy
to my heart
all of my love
to you i impart
struck as i am
by cupid's dart
oh, sweetest love
cleansed with tears
i will never know
what it is like
to be a part
of your life
but i'll be brave
and take things
in stride for
in my heart
the sweetest love
does abide

Tales About Depression
i could tell you tales about depression
the way it grabs ahold of you and will not let you go
the living hell that one goes through
when they are feeling oh so blue
i can also tell something that i've done to chase away these blues
i sat down one day and made a feel good list
of all the things i like to do that
give me pleasure
so when i start to feel depresions onset
i pull out my list and pick out something fun i can do
