My One True Love
By: Cyndi Hard

I was at the end of my rope
Ready to jump
I couldn't take it anymore
I was about to give up
Kept looking for love in all the wrong places
I was sick of seeing the exact same faces
I thought for sure I'd be alone forever
Already accepted that I wouldn't have anything better
Then I met you, my life was changed
You made everything so perfect, even when it rained
You made my life worth living, instead of boring
You gave me a reason to get up in the morning
Almost cried when you said you'd marry me
Then your feelings changed so suddenly
I'm still not sure what went wrong
I do know that I'm nothing now that you're gone
Looking back there's so much I'd done differently
Like opening up and not taking myself so seriously
I miss being able to see your face
All I had to do was name a time and a place
You made me want to be a better person
Although, I felt at times I was a burden
You always had the best advice, said the right things
There's no way I can throw away my feelings
You were my all, my everything, my life
I will never say goodbye
I'm not sure what the future holds
But I hope it's you and me, together, growing old
There's no doubt about it, my heart beats for only you
I'm the only one who will love you through and through
Through anything and everything, I'll be here waiting
Waiting for you to bust down the door and save me
If I can't have you I'll be alone forever
Because no one will make me happy - no, not never
I hope you can see just how much you really mean
There's not enough paper in the world for me to truly express my feelings
I'll wait my whole life for you, if I have to
The truth is: I love you; And can't live without you

In speaking of a persons faults
pray don't forgot your own,
remember those with homes of glass
should never throw a stone.

If we have nothing else to do
then talk of those who sin
tis better we commence at home
and from that point begin.

we have no right to judge a man
till he's been fairly tried,
should we not like his company,
we know the world is wide

Some have faults and who has not
the old as well the young,
so, remember, the next time we begin
to slander friend or foe

Remember, curses sometimes like our chickens
roost at home.

IN THE MEAN-TIME
Imaging a world without loss and pain
Without the daily struggle the daily strain
Somedays I wake up so tired and sore
From the battles I fought the day before
Weeks go by without looking in the mirror
I don't want my eyes to show my fear
The scars from my past I'll someday reveal
In the Mean-Time I'll look for a band-aid to steal.

There was an old man from Blackheath
Who sat on his set of false teeth
He said with a start
Oh lord bless my heart
I've bitten myself underneath....Show more

Jumping, Jumping,
Jumping, Jumping,
Jumping, Jumping,
Jump

Off my bed,
I hit the floor,
And settle with a thump.

My mommy scolds me.
"That's not good.
That way, you should not play."

But listen so,
I do not though,
Much to her dismay.

Jumping, Jumping,
Jumping, Jumping,
Jumping, Jumping,
Jump

Off my bed,
I hit the floor,
This time, my head, I bump.

My mommy takes me in her arms
And turns me over so.
My bottom, she does give a swat,
My tears begin to flow.

But listen so,
This time, I know,
Still stinging on my rump.

No longer on my bed, I play
When I prefer to jump.
