I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

I see you in my dreams like you are a part of it

Walking down the street with thoughts of catching a glimpse of you

I followed the footpath leading my heart to you

Heard a dog barking from a distance that you are near

Wished time can tell how long it takes to hold you in my arms

Wished I had a life line or a clue how to get you of my mind

So I don't have to look over my shoulder not to miss you when you pass by

Just a hug from you is all I need to ascertain what I feel is real

I know my feelings are genuine, I wouldn't trade it for the world

Can you stand still for a while so I can kiss your lips?

Hold your hands while we journey together a life time

Every man needs a companion; I just found mine in you

I stopped praying for a miracle a fortnight

Because I have found a special person in you

DON'T TELL ME YOU LOVE ME

Don't tell me you love me, but show me that you care

If I am walking through a valley, will I find you near?

It's not that I am scared of my heart been broken

I needed someone to catch me if someday the world's falling

I long for a star on my cloud, someone out there who cares

Someone to hold my hands and help me overcome my fears

All through life I carry in me a heart that's lost and lonely

In your arms I dreamt of a future that's sunny

Don’t tell me you love me, show me in your heart that you care

If you got a call that I am dying, will you visit to wish me well

The world is so huge yet difficult to find true love

Do you have a feeling in your heart that's pure and as calm as a dove?

All I have ever long for is a shoulder I can lean on

Someone to love me for whom I am and leave in my heart a song

Please don't tell me you love me but hold me till my heart bleeds no more

For a caring and loving heart is all I am asking for

WHEN I DIE

I wouldn't blame the government for abandoning me

I wouldn't blame the society for betraying me

I will not judge you for not believing in me

I will not blame you for breaking your promises

As I journey into God's hand, know that I have forgiven you

I truly understood the burden you had to carry and the reason too

I am going to miss the world, friends and neighbors

I regret not able to impact the lives suffering on the street in stance

I regret for I would no longer be around to hug you as did in the past

The sun is still shining on us all; I hope you see the direction of light

Don't let the struggle of our heroes past and present be in vain

For we all going to path ways someday and leave memories of our lives cropped behind

I had a good life; angels are so anxious my hands to hold

As I am anxious to hold yours in heaven above someday

Please don't beat yourself up but promise me this day

You will live a better life than did you yesterday

That you will not clot your heart and die in dismay
