Let the world always remember,
That fateful day in September,
And the ones who answered duty's call,
Should be remembered by us all.
...

We started out as a couple of friends,
Who saw each other now and then,
Two people hurt many times before,
And afraid of getting hurt once more.
...

All the trust we've built together,
Bonds developed from the start,
Have somehow been ripped in two,
Like you ripped apart my heart.
...

You probably were a bully,
Who never did well in school,
Stole other kid’s lunch money,
And thought it was really cool.
...

Don't tell me that you need me,
And I'm the best you've found,
Because if you really needed me,
You at least would come around.
...

I'd heard about social networking,
And how it was the next big thing,
So I just had to take a look,
And ended up on Facebook.
...

I have entered so many contests,
And I'm starting to wonder why,
Just sitting here thinking about it,
Makes me want to cry.
...

People always offer opinions and advice,
As to what you should or shouldn't do,
Though they can barely manage themselves,
They seem to know what's best for you.
...

I watch you lie so quiet and still,
You really are a lovely sight,
So many dreams you helped fulfill,
As I recall our previous night.
...

Faith, it's a beautiful thing,
That little word with the special ring,
It's faith in the things I cannot see,
Like knowing my God is always with me,
...

I returned to Paris as in days gone by,
Now that I'm here, I'm not sure why,
For the city that once felt like home,
Is a joyless place when you're alone.
...

He was the voice of those who had no voice,
The spokesman for the oppressed.
He became a true hero to the downtrodden,
Who had been denied their basic human rights.
...

Some loves may come your way,
And captivate your mind,
And some loves may touch your heart,
With words so sweet and kind.
...

To be far more than just a rhyme,
An idle way to pass the time,
As you take in my words like a drink,
I want my words to make you think,
...

I had a dream just the other night,
That people would no longer fight,
No more wars to be lost or won,
That everyone could live as one.
...

I want to teach my dog,
Some tricks that are new,
Like sit, fetch and heel,
As a dog’s expected to do.
...

I thank you for letting me love you,

I thank you for letting me know your arms,
Your gentle touch, your delicate charms,
...

All the strife and pending doom,
A world outside filled with gloom,
Cannot reach me in my room.
People I meet are so unkind,
...

Your passion burns so very deep,
Like secret dreams when you sleep,
The passion burns so deep inside,
Such deep desires that you hide,
...

They say that time is the great thief,
Robber of beauty and of looks,
I have heard it spoken times before,
Have read of it in books,
...
