One little step

To run, to fly…
That is what she would say every time.
She said she wants to roam free in the skies,
And see the birds fly by.

Everyday I see her,
And the same things she will say.
But soon she forgot these things,
And went on with life.

Today she is 50,
All her dreams forgotten.
When I visited her to talk,
She laughed out loud.

I forgotten those things,
And I can never be able to do it anymore.
I guess I gave up the thought,
To become a pilot.

I forgot to take my steps,
Instead I gave up and stopped walking.
I wish I would have not stopped,
And continued my journey.
To fly high in the sky,
Maybe take it one step at a time.

Happiness

When I think of the word happy,
A person comes to mind.
A small little girl,
Smiling all the time.

She may sit on a wheel chair,
And is paralyzed for life.
But she has the sweetest smile,
And never lets it falter.

She always says she’s happy,
No matter what she goes through.
And seeing her smile with joy,
I realized she’s more than a role model.

She is unable to move,
But she still laughs and smiles.
What I’ve learnt is to be happy,
Because if she can have happiness, can’t I?

Rains all the time

A rich man walked past a poor boy,
Walking past him with nothing more than a glance.
The boy looked tired and sad,
And had nothing more than a cardboard blanket.

A young girl walks along the streets,
As she looks for food and a warm place to snooze.
But no matter where she goes no one cares,
So she just keeps on walking on.

A young woman so fragile and ill,
Holding two children, one on each hand.
She tries to find a job and maybe get to feed them,
But now it’s all over as she dies in the cold.

And it’s raining for them,
While we got sunshine.
And sometimes I think I know what it feels like.
But I honestly I don’t really know a single thing,
About life and luck or pain.
And I really, really don’t know how it’s like,
When it’s raining plague and misfortunes for them,
All the time.

I will be here

[Note: I did not make this video]

Tomorrow mornin’ if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I…I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
‘Cause I…I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like bein’ quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen

And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin’
Through the winnin’ and losin’ and tryin’
We’ll be together
‘Cause I will be here

Tomorrow mornin’ if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I…I’ll be here
Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I…I will be here

I will be here
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we’re older
I will hold you

And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me

I…I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
‘Cause I…
I will be here….
We’ll be together, forever

‘Cause I will be here
I will be here
