Not a Hero


I am not a superhero,
I have no powers,
I've never saved a life,
not even a soul.

I'm just an ordinary human,
but I know how to love.

I can't save the world,
destroy all your pain,
I can't read your mind,
or be the perfect friend

but I can understand,
or understand that I don't.

Because I am just like you,
not anything special,
and I won't leave you,
or judge you, either.

While I can't be everything,
I can be something,
and I'll be something for you.

The Mother


How does she do it?
Smiling everyday,
How does she do it,
the mother of one, two, or more?

Her love is evident,
all can see,
no burden are her children,
no, not to she.

She watches them with joy,
loving them every moment,
growing, teaching, caring,
letting no moment pass away.

No other place she'd rather be,
than teaching her children all the way,
and it is evident for all to see,
the glories and joy of motherhood.

Give In or Give All

Now is the time,
it's do or die,
the stage is set,
Am I going right or left?

I can't hold back,
I don't have anything left,
it's time to decide,
do I give in or give all?

It's the end of bliss,
childhood's gone,
Prairies have past,
fall has come.

Here lies my path,
Here lies the valleys,
the mountains, the roaring rivers,
and the ocean's deeps.

I see a star overhead,
my star to Bethlehem,
Illuminating my journey's end,
where all before shall be past.

So here I am,
Time ticking by,
Here I stand,
ready to decide,
Now, give in or give all.

Reaching for the Stars




We all have hopes,
we all have dreams,
we reach for stars,
maybe land on the moon.

But down they come,
like falling stars, one by one,
into a sea of heartbreak, to which we succumb.

When will my day come,
to reach the stars,
touch the moon,
and wander far?

Or will I always be reaching,
never grasping,
to the skies above,
are they too far gone?

We all have hopes,
we all have dreams,
we reach for the stars,
maybe land on the moon.
