Look Right Through Me

Look Right Through Me
I looked in your eyes, and what did I see
That clearly you were not thinking ‘bout me
What is it about me, I really must ask
That makes you look past me, like I wear a mask

You know you can trust me
That your confidence I’ll keep
I am always loyal, faithful to friends
That’s where it stops, yes, that’s where it ends

I never saw this coming, though
In fact, I don’t even want you to know
So why am I feeling this, what did I see
I felt like we had a sweet chemistry

I can’t even mention this-feel like a fool
I know I can’t do it, which just isn’t cool
I put feelings to paper to shelter my heart
I have to protect me, I have to be smart

I find it amazing that I’m here to write
To mention my feelings, these feelings I fight
It seems pretty silly, the way that I feel
So, silly in fact, perhaps it’s not real?

Just what am I thinking- I’m sharing my heart
To people unlikely- that isn’t too smart
I’m sure in the long run, it’s better this way
But, honestly, I really hoped you would stay!

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
