The Lost Place
Is there a lost place we all can find,
To share a heart or peace of mind.
Can we love so free and be our own,
Where is this place we once have known.
Will there be a sun that shines so bright,
Can the children cease the cries at night.
Will we all embrace or stand alone,
Is it time we made this world our home.
Please show me the way to this lost place,
Where there is no hunger or want on a child's face.
For my heart needs to be filled with the love,
That shines oh every night from up above.
I can't stand the pain or fear inside,
I'm out in the open with nowhere to hide.
The lost place is nearer, I feel in my mind,
My joy overwhelmes me as this lost place I find.My Daughter
You shine with innocence, blue eyes, blond hair,
I see myself, because I was once there.
I scold you and you see me with eyes of steel,
But, oh, my daughter I know how you feel.
As a babe in my arms, we loved each other so,
But now my child, It's hard to let you go.
I know you need freedom I know you need room,
To flourish and blossom and grow up and bloom.
Why can't I, a little longer hold my babe near,
And you can rely on just me to be here.
So please give my more time to not let you go,
Because my beautiful daughter, I love you so.
Free Spirit
Carefree and alive, flowing and free,
Stands this beautiful child beneath me.
Always active and full of energy,
How could this free spirit have come from me.
Your strong willed and innocent as a child,
But sometimes that free spirit sets you wild.
I can't understand where it comes or where it goes,
It guides you more than anyone knows.
I hope you don't change as you grow,
And there's one more thing you should know.
I wish I could be a free spirit like you,
To love, to laugh, and play life through.
