Reflecting on my life
A lifetime of lessons learnt along the way
Some harder than others
Still learning to this day

was the land they never visited.
Taken from the mind,
is the life they couldn't grasp

Kids I...

Life Lessons Baby Girl Didn't Make The Team


Baby stop your crying
You didn't make Bobby Socks All Star Team
It's okay, let it go
It's not the end of the world, baby

There's high school ball
You're only eleven, baby 
You're only eleven
Think...

Grief took me by the hand
Lead where I didn't want to go
Straight into the valley of tears
That began to constantly flow

Now that grief had acquainted me
With sorrow in the vale of tears
It seemed at eternal spring of weeping
Was where I would constantly live

Then grief brought...

Just the other day I cried       
 cried for mummy’s arms     
I wouldn’t have let anyone else hold me

Then it all becomes clear
We get knocked on our rear

It said it longed for love.
And it'd been yearning so long !

Feel the sun shine upon your hair, watch the moon when it...

Find the 'you' within
You are an individual
we are to be who we are made to be
It's okay to be different
Do not be afraid

It is only in tumbling we learn to walk
in falling off a bike we learn to ride
When we understand 
we don't need to...
