"To You"

On My Own Is The Place To Be
Whether In My Studio Alone
Or With Friends Surrounding Me

A Phone Call From An Aunt
Then A Drink With A Friend
A Day With My Client In Court
Or Relating With My Coach of Life

It Does Not Matter To Whom I Go
Because It Is I Who Always Knows
That The Light Will Surely Show
As My Heart Continuously Glows.

"Perfect As I Am"

I Am Already Everything I Need to Be
What is This Striving That Everyone Says We Must Reach?
As If We Are Never Truly Free

All I Ever Wanted To Be Was Me
Not Chasing All Those Rats
In A Race that is Never Won

Or Climbing A Ladder of "Success"
That Ends in A Wealth of Stress, Unrest,
And a Life Of Funds Never Spent
Wondering Where All of My Time Went?

People Say They Don't Have Choices
That This Is What Their Life Must Be
Because They Have Bills to Pay and Mouths to Feed
But I Invite Them to Listen
To Hear the Voices of Those Who Have No Life Regrets
And How They Created Their Own Life Steps

And Then Ask Yourself
How Is It That You Have No Choices Left?

"Heartache"

Do You Ever Feel All Alone?
Like All You Wanted Was to be Welcomed Home?
Learning to Make It On Your Own
Can Sometimes Take Its Toll
A Bus Ride, A Morning in Court, A Loud Remark
And Friends Too Far Apart,
A Lonely Heart
That Sheds a Tear,
Wishing You Were Here.

"What Is Love?"

Is Love Really Blind?
Or Is It There In Front Of Your Eyes?
And Is It The Same For All Of Mankind?

Is It A Mother Patiently Listening To Her Child
As She Whines To Her On The Other Line
Or A Brother Protecting His Sister
From A Boy Or A Bee About To Sting Her?

Does It Come Through The Gift Of Friendship
Or In A Sisterhood That Lasts A Lifetime?

And If It Comes In The Form Of A Man
Bending Down On One Knee
Saying "Will You Marry Me?"
Then Love Can Come From Strangers
Who Turn Into Family.

"Deep Rhymes of Boston"

Relying On Me
That's How I Choose To Be
Got Jesus, My Father, And The Sun With Me
A Greater One Who Does Protect
From The Harm The Material World Projects

I Earn, I Clean
I Weep And Shriek
I Party With All My Heart
And Bleed For My Green
When Every Celtic Game Starts

I Believe Kindness Should Be Highly Regarded
And We Treasure The Life Of Those Now
Along With Ones Departed

Because Big Hearts Are Rare To Find
When I See One
It Will Combine With Mine.

How Does It Feel?

What Is It That You Find
Looking Through All Four Corners of Your Mind?
From Self-Doubt To Blame
To Telling Others What They Did To You That Day

And How It Hurts You
And It Doesn't Matter If They Never Meant To
Because What You Feel Is What You Feel
And What You Feel Is Real

And I Always Tell My Mom
That Even Though I Speak Up And Say
What I Felt From The Words That They Say
The Feeling Of That Pain
Doesn't Just Fall Away

And So It's Something I Work On Each Day
And Pray That Someday Will Go Away
For Life Is Surely Not Meant To Be Lived This Way Each Day
As I Wait For Love To Wash The Pains Of Every Yesterday.

"Two Hearts"

Two Little Girls
White Like Snow
Sweet like Lollipops
Playing on the Swing Sets
Wild Honey that Sticks To Your Heart
Sisters Together
Despite the Years Apart
In a Life of Wonder
There Is a Quest to Find
Truth and Love
True Love. <3
