You read it in the papers, and see it on the news. Hear it on the radio, And thank god it wasn't you. We see it happen everywhere, Colorado to V-T, I will never truly comprehend, That it could easily have been me. My prayers are with the victims, My heart with those they love, For now all those who lost their lives, Are with our God above. Now we sit back and wonder What made them act this way, But did we think about those quiet kids, Before the events of that day? These people were clearly troubled, May just have needed a friend, I wonder if we had just reached out, Would so many have met their end?

On bended knee, bow your head, but do not let a tear be shed. I've lived my life, and regret none, but God has said my time is done. Weep not my friends, we'll meet once more. I'll see you here at heaven's door.

Autumn, Commonly known as fall. the leaves fall, the temperature falls, but most prominently, I fall. Into longing, I fall Into remembrance, I fall For you, I fall. For your smile, For your embrace, For the kindness in your heart. I fall so deep

Loneliness separated by bouts of depression, A feeling I just can't seem to get over. I don't know what to do anymore, I sit and dream of seeing my sister. But then I think of my family, Losing a second daughter, I can't do that to them. Should I jump? I'm so close to the edge, I see you on the ground, Staring up, calling me to you. I can finally smile, Knowing you are there. I can finally be in your arms. Should I jump? Would you catch me? It's hard to tell, You act as though you like me, Pull me along for a while, I was so comfortable with you, Then nothing. I'm jumping. Good bye for now. Let my family know I love

I stand for love, A birthday, anniversary, or just because I stand for sadness, An illness, a funeral or broken heart. I stand for success, games won, careers finished, or jobs well done. I stand for memory, pressed in a book, dried and hung, or a simple photograph. I stand for beauty, I speak for myself

The photo on the wall it the gold painted frame, A memory so great, but it will never be the same. Sitting in the grass, its all black and white, I can see your eyes sparkle in the sunlight. Thinking back to those days of such fun, I realize now that you were the one. But we've both moved on and have gone our separate ways, What would I give to go back to those days. Our walks on the beach, bare foot in the sand, The sun set on that day, yet we're still hand in hand. Though we have grown and drifted apart, The photo hangs high, right there with my heart.

In the few years we had together We survived rain and sunny weather Though we fought or disagreed Nothing could uproot the seed We are sisters through and through Not once have I lost thought of you Your final days were not fair It hurt knowing you weren't there I was young and didn't understand "Why didn't the transplant goes as planned?" The tears flowed silently and I knew Not once would I lose thought of you Now thirteen years have gone by and still I sit at night and cry Nothing has ever been the same The understanding, that just came I love you and you know it too I'll never lose the thought of you

I had this dream about a guy We danced so slow, just he and I It occurs the same each night and in his arms I feel so right Never could I see his face it was a dark, mysterious place With our first passionate kiss who it was I could not miss Those lips on mine gave me a chill To pull away, I had no will This night time romance is so right If dreams were only daytime's sight The feelings are so perfectly new The guy in my dreams, it was you.

Standing Silent in a line This is how we pass the time Looking only straight ahead Every word is left unsaid Even then, the thought is read: We are all ordinary people. Some are short and some are tall We don't just come large, medium, small Average is a relative thing Everyone shares what they can bring Now, though not clear, we can sing: We are all ordinary people The end is slowly drawing near It could be decades, could be a year We may die all different ways but each with a predestined day So in the end, we finally say: We are all ordinary people
