"Give A Reason"

Sometimes you can lie to yourself without even knowing it

That you allow your possibilities to close up

Making the road a little more narrow and rough

Because as you look around..

Even your face has become a reflection of someone who you use to know...

Time waits for no one

To have happiness, you first have to allow it

We are all stories within the book of life

Remember...

Think of how you would like to be read

Because when you fix something

You get to know it inside and out

When others do it...

You learn nothing

And nothing can be gained without a step forward in a decided direction

So remove the heavy weight from your shoulders

Liberate your world

Let it be a victory within your life

Because when all else fails

Redefine the definition.

"Better Balance"

In life we strive for balance

Even though it may never be found

We try our best

Sometimes your heart needs more time to accept the things that your mind already knows

Making the pain linger

To seep a little deeper

But as hard as it is

You make the choice

Before the choice makes you

Because no sacrifice is so great that you have to leave yourself behind

Never do you have to chase after bread crumbs left behind

To lure you in...

Or hold you close

We all deserve better than this.

"Remember This"

My deepest wish for you is to be happy

To be content with your state of being

As much as one can be

I want you to see yourself as I do through my eyes

That there is a being of great worth standing before you

See past the blurred reflection

Seek out the source

Find the root at the core of your being

Feel with your senses

Be brave enough to let life in

Hold true to the things you know

But allow room within yourself for the possibilities of new

Believe in yourself as I do in you

As you remember always

That I will be right here by your side

Holding your hand

Embracing you true

And standing by you all the way through.
