THE COLLISION

Well I'm a drop of red

And I'm running down this sheet

And I'm almost at the end

I have cold feet

Behind me I leave a trail

Of my color, like I'm proud

I'm a color that stands out

I'm different in the crowd

But wait! What's that there

It looks like a drop of blue!

I couldn't believe my eyes

It was too good to be true

I could see it screaming

As it came towards its end

It was like me, a drop of paint

But now it was like a friend

And as we got closer

Our eyes finally met

We were almost near our end

It's as close as we could get

And then suddenly the sheet was turned

And I started sliding towards the blue

I knew that this would end bad

An ending like very few

I was the color of royalty!

I couldn't die this way

I wondered what I would become

A dull black or grey

And I sighed and I cried

As I slid towards the blue drop

And trust me I tried my hardest

To put my sliding to a stop

But obviously that didn't happen

And the blue drop and I collided

And I closed my eyes not wanting to see

Anything other than my trail of red

But after some time I opened my eyes

To see a line of purple paint

I couldn't believe my eyes

I was about to faint

It was such a beautiful color!

I had merged with the blue

To become an amazing color 

One like so few 

And so we slid on

Painting the most beautiful picture

One that would with pride 

Be hung on a wall fixture

And I realized that the blue

Brought out the best in me

And that without that blue drop

I wouldn't have reached my true beauty

Sometimes people change you

Only to make you the best

So merge with all the colors you want!

Don't even think about the rest

WE BECAME ONE

HEART ON FIRE

TO MOMMY DEAREST

Dear mom, here's to all those memories we have. The smiles, the laughs, the tears, everything. It's all as special as you are. I can't emphasize enough on the fact that you are the strongest most beautiful woman I know. The perfect idol. You are my inspiration, my friend, and luckily my mother. I'm glad you are a part of me. I love you mom!

There are so many times I'm feeling down
And you reverse that frown
There are so many times when it's dark
But as soon as you come, you're an igniting spark
But it's not only in hard times that you're there
You always are, to show you care

When everybody else looks for the North Star
I look for you, no matter how far
You are my guiding light
You give me the strength to fight
And on this day kept aside for you
I hope I made it clear, you're like so few

THE PRIDE HAS FALLEN

I've been to the jungle several times

But a lion, I've never seen

But I've heard him roar

Every time I've been

You can hear even if he's miles away

I just always hope and pray

That once I can be the lucky person

To say I had seen you that day

But every time I went

The roar grew weak

Like he was losing energy

And didn't have enough to speak

What was once the most confident roar

That would echo among the trees

Is just a quiet whisper

That needs to be carried by the breeze

What was once a call of warning

Is now a cry for help

That's heard just a few times a day

A small whimpering yelp

And now I pray that no one finds you

So they can't kill your kind

I don't care if I miss seeing you

It's better if you're hard to find

And if you cease to exist

It would be a sad story

One in which the king of the jungle

No more had his pride and glory

And when someone would ask me 

What I could do to reverse your fall

I'll say with my head up high that

The human race should not have existed at all

THE BURNING FIRE

She stood erect on stage
Filled with a raging fire
Her heart filled with compassion
To fulfill her desire

She was already half way there
This stage would decide
Whether she could keep loving
The part of her that never died

I've had the privilege
Of seeing this beauty dance
And that's why I hope and pray
That life gives her a chance

I'd call her an elegant beauty
She has personified grace
And when she's dancing all you can see
Is the happiness on her face

"Go to your happy place"
People tell you when you're scared
And hers is on that stage
Where her confidence is flared

You can't take your eyes off her
When she's on that stage
Because that's where she's amazing
And she's dealing with her rage

Sometimes people are just handed
Anything they may need
Making this world a place
Filled with jealousy and greed

But that doesn't apply to her
Because she's a warrior inside
And as soon as her journey begins
It'll be the most amazing ride

She is my inspiration
And she makes it easier than it seems
To successfully conquer a mission
To fulfill your dreams

LOST AND FOUND

It was a stormy day
I was half stuck
On a road filled with water
Driving my red truck

It was amazing what havoc
Mother Nature could cause
Just with one wink of an eye
The world would pause

Well here I sat, bored
Wanting to get home fast
But the latest news was that
We couldn't move till the storm had passed

And then suddenly due to an adrenaline rush
I took the next turn that took me right
And started the adventure of a lifetime
Driving in the forest in the night

And I could see every nocturnal creature
Their eyes glistening bright
The random snap of a twig
The moon was my only light

And I stopped at a waterfall
The water seemed to glow
And the storm had passed
But you could hear the water flow

And right there you could see
Mother Nature at it's best
It seemed to take me to another place
And make me forget the rest

And just like that I was lost
Deep in a jungle, with strange sound
But there was something I had discovered
It was something that I found

I found myself in that peace and quiet
I was absorbed in the beauty and grace
If only we could just make the world
More like this wonderful place
