Children

What a sad world in which we live.

Children's games now end in tears

And parents are perpetuating their children's fears

What awful things now fill their ears

And doing well no longer ends in cheers

The meanest people in life are their peers

But life only gets worse through the years.

However

I miss you, but I know I can't be with you.
I search for you, but I know I'll never find you.
I didn't want you until I didn't have you.
You're not what I want, but you just may be what I need.


I loved you when I met you, but not the way you think.
I still love you, but not the way I used to.
I don't know when it all changed, but now it's too late.
My thoughts and prayers are always with you, no matter where you are now.

*** could've *** should've *** would've ***

I could've kissed you or you could've kissed me
out in the middle of the dazzling sea
You looked into my eyes so intently
but I knew it was not meant to be


My secret love for you.


You should've kissed me in that field
and I may've wanted to yield
But instead the deal was sealed
and it would remain concealed


My secret love for you.


They would've never seen it coming
never known my heart was drumming
my mind your eyes were numbing
I'll just go about humming


My secret love for you.

All I've seen of nature

All I've seen of nature
Lends to the belief
That whether plant or creature
All will suffer grief.


Mankind no better creation
Than any God did make
But we all have the option
To succeed or break.


It is not our lot in life
That determines who we'll be
Whether it is joy or strife
The choice is up to me.
