For her, I stand up

The ground’s a bit shaky,

And my feet all slippery,

My hands shiver,

My voice sounds quiver..

But I must stand up

For there awaits a mother,

With dreams in her eyes,

And a sparkle in her smile..

For her,

I stand up,

For her,

I speak out..

My gaze falls upon her,

My worries seem to blur,

The shivering stops,

The shaking drops

My fear vanishes,

My fluency astonishes

But I stand only for her,

For the joy on her face

For the tears in her eyes

For her,

I stand up,

For her,  

I speak out..

Nothing seems enough

I leapt into the skies,
and brought down the stars,
But you looked down and said,
'twas the sun that i want..

The questions you asked,
the answers i rambled,
they aren't right you said,
my hopes dashed,
my quest abandoned..

Desperation questioned,
"if this isn't right then what is"..
"perfection", you said
tears ran down my cheeks
nothing seems enough
nothing seems enough..

A Little Of All, Thats All I Ask..

A little breeze,
And a little drizzle,
Scattered clouds and a warm sun
The sound of birds and children
mingled with joy.
A little of all, thats all i ask..

The coldness of winter,
And a little bit of snow,
A fire by the hearth,
And the warmth of food.
A little of all, thats all i ask..

A loving smile,
A hug too tight,
And the sound of laughter,
Of love,
And of life,
A little of all, thats all i ask...
