WHY???

WHY????

Why do you forget when you look at my face
That inside there’s a heart and my soul has a place
That when you are done playing games with my mind
You say all the right words I think that are kind

If you were to find out about the person I hide
I’m trusting, and loving, and able inside
Do you know how it hurts when you look right through me?
As I look in your eyes, is it pain that you see?

I took that your interest in me was to heart
I felt we connected right from the start
But here I am feeling that you don’t really see
That my heart and my soul is the best part of me!

Sometimes when I see men look at me
It’s not my heart, soul, or mind they see
As hurt surrounds my weary heart
Perhaps this is a place to start

But never will my soul I share
Unless a heart can truly care
The pain has left some heavy scars
On me- the one who could touch the stars

My sheltered heart-preserve I will
From unkind hearts who make it still
I shut the door and lost the key
Will someone bring it back to me?

DAYBREAK

In the stillness of the morning I think about my day Put my thoughts and words together And to Jesus I do pray Before I turn the lights on Put the coffee on to brew I ask the Lord to guide me, What he’d like to see me do To make this world a better place To help my fellow man He put me here to do these things I know this is His plan As the sun begins to rise I feel joy within my heart Having Jesus there to light my way He can show me where to start.

Can It Change??

Can It Change? I gotta ask you what’s going on And wonder why this split has upon Come to our world~unrest and war Did all this start a long time before? In1776 a contract wrote Would give us all the right to vote And stand a nation so delighted But, if that’s so, why are we not UNITED? Our leader some decisions make May sometimes be a sad mistake But as a nation, can we be UNITED in our LIBERTY? We lose our job, our house, we strife Can’t we be thankful we have LIFE? Is greed consuming heart and mind That people have become unkind? A Pollyanna I am not If you think I care about what I’ve got ‘Cause life is more than money or things We’re materialistic marionettes on strings My friends cannot come home from this war Because more battles they’re needed there for But we complain about our fancy cars While war has someone’s child behind bars Can we UNITE as this country planned? Can we do what’s right and take a stand? Can we share

Oh, Gentle Heart

Oh, Gentle Heart When I looked into your eyes That Monday back in May I saw the stars that light your soul That very special day. I saw each chance as special Each chance you took me to That place where I could be myself And feel so peaceful next to you. As days passed by my heart would flutter At the thought I’d see your face I longed to see those stars again To journey to that place. Your gentle nature touched my heart It left me wanting more To open up your soul to me Was something to adore. I consider myself so lucky That you’ve touched my heart so deep I will treasure you in the palm of my hand Even when I sleep! Vickie Skowronski ~Copyright 1998
