Two young lovers, Walking on the sand,
Gazing at each other, Talking hand in hand,
The prints they leave behind them,
Marking memories of the past,
The long beach laid before them,
Hoping love will last,
The ocean captures the footprints,
And erases them from the shore,
Taking with it remembrances,
And leaving them with more,

Many years have passed,
Time flies when you're having fun,
And before you know it innocence fades,
And the teen years are done,
Now she's back on the beach,
Except she is alone,
Watching and waiting,
For the love that hadn't grown,
She walks along the ocean,
Two footprints, not four,
Wondering where the laughter went,
Why he didn't love her more,
Then she stops to sit,
And draws his name in the sand,
A celestial stranger comes along,
And reaches out a hand,
Hesitantly she takes it,
And he listens to her cries,
He's been there before,
He's heard many lies,
They decide to walk,
And she follows, not knowing why,

Love will always be reborn again,
Even if it may die,
She is more cautious than before,
And as she looks back at the footprints,
She smiles seeing not two, but four,
This time will be different,
Her heart trying to say,
Something magical happened,
She felt it the first day,
Something clicked when they touched,
A jolt from inside,
She knew he'd be there always,
If she had something to confide,

Now here it is twenty years later,
And his love for her,
Is now even greater,
He looks at her like the first time they met,
And despite all the years gone by,
They can never forget,
Those four special footprints,
That are never washed away,
They'll stay forever on her heart,
Until their dying day.

Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely girl, I envied her:
She seemed so happy. And I wish I were as fair.
And then, suddenly,she rose to leave, and I saw her hobble down the aisle,
She had one leg and wore a crutch,
But as she passed, a smile.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two legs,
I am blessed indeed. The world is mine!

Later, walking down the street,
I saw a man with eyes of blue.
But he just stood and watched the others play.
So, I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, sir?"
But he looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew he could not hear.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two ears,
I am blessed indeed. The world is mine!

And later, I stopped to buy some sweets,
The lad who sold them had such charm,
I talked with him. If I were late, it would do no harm.
But as I turned to go, he said to me,
"I thank you sir. You've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you."
"You see," he said, "I am blind."

Oh God forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes,
I am blessed indeed. The world is mine!

With legs to take me where I want to go,
With ears to hear the things I need to know,
With eyes to watch that radiant sunset glow.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine,

I am blessed indeed!
The world is mine!

Forever is a lie
That's all too often told,
Love's no longer given,
But at a high price it is sold.
Togetherness is a prison
Of which I'm trapped inside.
Rules were meant to be broken,
To laws none shall abide.
Hate was born of love,
Our love is forbidden.
Sobs aren't meant to be heard;
Tears are meant to be hidden.
Stepping out of the light,Stepping into the dark,
Surrounded by oblivion,Feeling pretty is so hard.
The world passes you by through the window of your heart,
In the end Dillusion comes and rips sweet memmories apart.
Then he slays your hopes and dreams,like so many that you've known,
The aches return from heartbreaks;broken promises,alone.

'97

The summer that we fell in Love,
That is what I'm thinking of.
As night and day will soon be gone,
You're the one to which I belong.
I dream now wishing you were here,
But still I feel you must be near.
'Cause here in my heart you will remain,
Even when I don't feel sane.
And I am crazy just for you,
Because all worlds are made for two.
Even in the darkest times,
Even if we don't have a dime,
We'll be together and I feel,
My love for you is truely real.
If we're in an evil world,
I will always be your girl,
Though two hearts might part someday,
Ours two will never stray.
'Cause I love you and you love me,
And forever like this we'll always be.
-Chalky

The times we spent,
The laughter we shared
Makes it hard to believe
You never cared.

When I loved each smile,
Each simple way
When we were together,
I cherished the days.

For us the sun,
Even shone bright-
But it wasn't needed...
For you were my light.

Now as I look
To your cold blue eyes
The darkness reveals-
Your love was all lies.

I see the sorrow in your voice.
I sense the passion in your eyes.
At this point,

Your sweet shadows of sorrow are gone.
Now, I know that your sweet surrender
Will be within my soul for
Eternity.

Yet you see in me My Love,
lays open an Yet you see in me My Love,
lays open an no end of mercy nor in its knowledge the sting of defeat.

For I am the foreshadowing of His Kingdom to come,
and an unbearable gift unto the heart of man.

For I am sent to thee as thy comfort of will,
not as an undoer of promises made,
who they, in their inability to confess their souls,
receive no grace from their labors deeds.

Did I hear you call my name last night?
Was it you I saw in all your delight?
Did u kiss me soft and touch my face?
Did you stroke your finger over my night-gown laze?
Did I feel your naked body next to mine?
Or was all this just a dream so de wine?
If so let me sleep until my dying day,
Because in my dreams u will forever stay.
When wide awake I know in my heart,
We cannot share a life but always stay apart.
So please Mr. Sandman close my eyes and let me be,
With the one I love so close to me.
Now my mind starts to wonder off again.
Am I with my fullest or am I going insane?
Could that be that one day I am to see,
those eyes in my dreams looking at me?
Feeling the hands that stroke my face?
To see the spark and the blaze?
To feel two lips i know so well,
Hear them whisper in my ears to tell.
" I am here with you little angel of mine"
"Did u not hear the wind and saw the sign?"
Life cannot be so cruel and never to let
two so tied together hearts and souls to get,
one minute in time to be as one?
If not, do not ever let my heart beat again for none!
Let the minute last throughout time and space.
Give us that opportunity My Lord and Grace!
Hear me Mentor of life and devotion,
Set this mind of mine in proportion!
Tell me if I should let my love senselessly grow,
Or give it all up and let the other me to show?
The other me who wakes me up and invades my brain,
Who close my heart and puts out the flame.
Who cannot believe this dream can be true,
that I one day will be with you.
I struggle and fight,
And ask myself , Am I wrong or am I right?
Do you really love me as your say?
Have you really given your heart to me away?
To me for to have and to hold?
Should I close my eyes and my hands to fold?
To fold up to a prayer and down on my knee,
Cry out in my name, The Lord and the name of thee?
"Let this be so or forever my heart to close."
And never will it ever be able to house,
that love and passion I feel for you.
" So help me God this is true."
I wake up again and look down on my hands,
To see that one of them has a shape of a mans.
I hear like a wind whisper in my ear.
"Never to let go and never to fear."
"I am here and will forever be,
with my heart and soul deep within thee."
" So now my Dear you have heard the wind and seen the sign."
" I will be yours and you will be mine."
"Do not ever doubt that this never will be"
because an angel has sworen it to me
