SMELL THE ROSES

Do you smell the roses?
In the garden of my heart
Do you feel the buds springing?
By the touch of your smile

SINCE I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU

It's been raining
Since I fell in love with you
Can't shield this feelings under the umbrella
Emotion is falling deep

Feels good to be in love with you
Now and forever
Its obvious you are all I need
As life goes by

I try to paint a picture
But can't portrait the love I found in you
There are times the day is bright
Because you are by my side

TO LOSE A HOME

To the families displaced by the storm in Haiti.

Helpless souls mourning
Hearts crying
Tears falling from the sky
Man striving to survive

Why is life so cruel?
Inflicting pain in our homes
Stealing away our happiness
In the middle of a sunny day

Why must the heart suffer?
When everyday we pray
Isn't the world created perfectly?
I thought this to be true when I was young

The world is beautiful
Enough to hold dreams 
Dreams of children playing in the park
Friends hugging each other smiling

Couples on a honeymoon 
Family taking pictures on a holiday
A mother bathing a newly born baby
But all this memories are gone
