TIME AFTER TIME





Time keeps running ahead of me
My dreams I watch from a distance
I have sacrificed so much but things are not working right for me
My ambitions are vogue, they fly so high
Like trying to measure the length of the sky
The clock ticks every second, so does my dreams
And the distance between a man’s life, far apart it seems
I've got to live my life from the beginning
Maybe someday I will fit in

LAST NIGHT I HEARD AN ANGEL SING




Last night I heard an angel sing
The melody of the song touched my heart and it got blown away
Her voice was calm like the sea at dawn
Wind couldn't resist whistling the tone as they sing along
I saw the star smiling at her like they were gratefully revived
The world around me became anew
At first it seems I was having a dream
But I feel the pulses of her voice sank into my heart
The evening was friendly; she took me for a walk
She sang all through the night, for sleep I denied the pleasure
I couldn't allow him to take such a special moment away from me

I wished I could write down the lyrics and sing them to my heart today
What a beautiful memory to behold an angel sings each day
I once heard that one can sing like an angel
But the voice I heard last night was out of this world
Have you ever heard an angel sing from heaven?
I beholden a voice that has never been heard before
Wished I could take a long drive to heaven
And spend the rest of my life listening to an angel sing
What a beautiful experience that would last a lifetime

LETS TALK ABOUT LOVE




Love is a bond
Which has made you fond
Of our differences
All my heart sees
Is you who I live with
Which I love every bit

Love is a judge
Settles our disputes leaving no grudge
An unadulterated love
My heart wants to serve

Let’s talk about agape one
Which my heart has won
From a father and friend
My beginning and end

Love is a medicine
Which no eyes have seen
From teen age
To worn out stage
Love is a catalyst
That tries to put smiles at least
