The window that I’m looking through Is frosted and I can not see
Clearly to the other side of what’s in store for me.
I have to follow just my heart
It lies, sometimes that’s true.
But through the years it’s always found
A way to pierce the fog and gloom

How do I erase the pains of the past,
To finally find a peace that will last?
How do I console, the child who has grown old,
Who was damaged and left out in the cold.?

With age there comes a wisdom no college ever taught.
Lessons learned through trials and battles fiercely fought.
Bruised and broken sometimes, it felt like I would die.
But learned so many things when I both laughed or sometimes cried.

Just because we share familiar blood,
Does not give you access to my love.
Damage done through years of strain,
Decades of neglect and pain,
Have taught me it’s ok to turn away.

Memories surround my mind
Softened by the hands of time
Strumming songs of days gone past
Mellow like a perfect wine
Memories will always be
A place I go to comfort me
Memories from deep inside
That only I can see

The window I am looking through
Is frosted and I can’t see
Clearly to the other side of what’s in store for me.
I have to follow just my heart.
It lies, sometimes that’s true.
But through the years it’s always found
A way to pierce the fog and gloom

I believe in tomorrow
There will be no more sorrow
Amidst the gloom of things today
There’s a light to guide the way

I won’t give up on tomorrow
There are dreams left to follow
Time will finally stop and stay
My dreams will be fulfilled one day

With every trial you face in Life,
Your hidden strength will come to light.
Stand your ground amid the gale,
The storm will pass you without fail.
When faced with thoughts of giving up,
A strength inside will fill your cup.
A new day dawns amidst the gloom,
With a light that glows and fills the room

If hands could talk the tales they’d tell
I know mine have a few
The scars alone show all the hell
That I have put mine through
Look down and wonder at your hands
What stories do yours tell?
Every crease and wrinkle tells a tale
Of the lives your hands have held

When the mind is quiet
When the body is calm
We can recharge our soul
We can shut out the wrong
A moment of clarity
A moment to pause
Time to remember
Our life and our cause

I’ve lived a good life
I’ve done some cool things
I’ve swam in the ocean
I’ve flown without wings
I’ve made a few friendships
I’ve lost a few too
I’ve loved and I’ve lost
But my sky is still blue

Soft summer night, the breeze in the trees
The fountain song playing, the dog at my knee
Wind chimes provide the music tonight
I wish I could sit here until morning light.

Midnight black
Fades to blue
The world is turning
The day is new
What is here
What will I do
A new day comes
I’ll see it through.

I’m standing at the window, thinking through the glass.
Wondering what it was I’d done that made you turn your back.
The tears I cried, the pain I felt, when I thought that you were gone,
Held me in a dreadful place for far too many years too long.

I have done so much, for so long, with so little, that I can now do practically anything with just about nothing.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Make today count toward your tomorrow. Worry cures nothing.
