I'm So Proud Of You

Wow! Look at you now!

You've really come far

From where you once started

To right where you are!

And it wasn't always easy

You were challenged I know

At times on this journey

It was just touch and go!

But you gave it your best

And you never gave up

No matter how long

No matter how rough 

You kept right on going

All the way thru

You know what? You rock!

I'm so proud of you!

Happy Day

Life gets kind of crazy

With all it's highs and lows

It's never easy all the time

That's just the way it goes

Bad days leave us dragging

And take us down a ways

Till good ones lift us up to see

It's gonna be ok 

Then some days are so perfect

We have to realize

That life is really beautiful

And it's great to be alive!

Happy days are certain

For they always do come thru!

The kind you wish on special folks

So Happy Day to you!

I Cannot Unfeel What I Feel

I know there's no way I can reach you

And be with you except in my dreams

It's far from reality - I know that

And how very eccentric it seems

It brings me such comfort and joy though 

Imagining the thrill of your touch

Holding me close in your warm arms

Where I wish I could nestle so much!!

Eccentric or not - I can't help it

I cannot unfeel what I feel

As unreachable and far as you are from me

This love in my heart for you - is real! 

One More Chance

 There's no use in denying

How bad I screwed up

Believe me - I know it

And I regret it so much!

I really wouldn't blame you

If you walked away

You sure have good reason

But I just want to say

I'm feeling so terrible

For making you sad!

I broke my heart too

When I hurt you so bad

And if you can do it

I hope you'll forgive me

I love you and I need you!

One more chance - please?

Back Together

 It's been a long time - way too long!

Since my whole world turned upside down

You left - and I was so devastated

Your love was the best thing I'd found!

Little things would always remind me

Of how happy we used to be

Like a song, a dream or some picture

Bringing sweet memories to me

I can't tell you how much I've missed you!

Half of me gone all the time

A big empty space here without you

Just torturing this ol' heart of mine

But now I'm so happy and thankful!

Counting my blessings each day

Life's good! Cause we're back together!

And together is where we shall stay!

Believe In Yourself

 I don't mean to preach

But I want you to know

I think you're terrific

And I wish you'd think so

You've got so much going!

And it's not hard to see

How special you are

Just take it from me!

But sometimes we're looking

Thru negative eyes

Blind to the strength

That we have down inside

Then we put ourselves down

And get a case of the blues

It's a miserable feeling

And rough to go thru

So believe in yourself!

Rise above life's bad breaks!

For there's no doubt about it

You've got what it takes!

You've Graduated! Way To Go!

 You're somethin' else!

Do you know that?

Just take a look

Where you're now at

You're all grown up

Too fast it seems

About to chase

Those hopes and dreams

I am honestly

So proud of you!

You worked so hard

To make it thru!

Now here you are

And rightly so

You've graduated!

Way to go!

You've Got This

 I know you're apprehensive

Unsure what's ahead

Imagination manipulating

The thoughts within your head

Waiting is never an easy thing

As it drags on day by day

While all those "what if" notions

Just lead the mind astray

But I believe you've got this!

Honestly I do

So hang in there and stay positive

I'm wishing the best for you!

You've Got Me All Wrong

 The things you're saying are so unfair

And they're sure not true of me!

Maybe in your mind they somehow are

But I know differently 

You make me sound so terrible!

When that's not the way I am

How can you see me in such a way?

I just don't understand!

I'm not perfect by any means

I've got plenty of mistakes to show

But I'm not as bad as you're making out

I would never stoop that low!

It's really sad and disappointing

How everything has gone

You've got the facts all turned around

And you've got me all wrong!

You've Been So Supportive

 You sure have been nice

And so inspiring too!

Believing in me

The way that you do!

You've always been there

Right from the start

While I've struggled along

Towards the dream in my heart

Sometimes it seems

I'll get nowhere at all

When I'm trying my best

Then just run into walls 

But your praise is encouraging

No matter how tough it gets

And I'm proud I can say

I haven't given up yet

You've been so supportive!

And what a difference it makes

Thank you for everything!

You've really been great!

You're Right

 You and I

Have disagreed

Seeing things

Quite differently

But I've been thinking

And looking back

At all we said

At all the facts

And even though

I stood my ground

My point of view

Has turned around

With opened eyes

I've seen the light!

And all I can say is

By golly! You're right!

You're Ok With Me

 Lately you seem really down

About who you feel you are

Thinking something's wrong with you

Like you're just not up to par

You see yourself as kind of odd

And think that's what they say

But you're not odd - you're just unique

And in a most endearing way 

 

So don't you change a single  thing

You're just as cool as you can be!

  Who you are is who you are

And you're ok with me!

You're A Wonderful Friend

 I'm sending you this

With all of my heart

To tell you sincerely

How terrific you are!

You've stuck right beside me

All the way thru 

Always loyal and supportive

And so good-hearted too

And I want you to know

You're real special to me 

I'm sure glad we met

And I always will be 

I count you a blessing

Time and again

You're a wonderful person!

You're a wonderful friend!

You Will Be Missed

 You've got your nerve

Saying goodbye 

And leaving us here

With tears in our eyes!

What in the world

Are we going to do

Carrying on

Without any you?

You can't be replaced

You're too special to us

And our hearts are breaking

So we're raising a fuss 

It just won't be the same

Not anymore 

You will be missed

And that is for sure!

You Rock!

 I'm sure you know already

How much you mean to me

I may not say it often enough

But that's how it always will be

I can't imagine my life at all

Without you being there

Even when we disagree

It's such a special thing we share

You're truly a beautiful person

And that's not just flattering talk

You really are - and in so many ways

Take it from me - You Rock!

You Need A Break

 Last time we talked

You were down in the dumps

Not feeling too chipper

You've been taking some lumps

Seems like it's one thing

Then another - no luck 

And I'll bet that some days

You just hate to get up!

But get up you do

Bless your little heart

Even when you feel like

You're falling apart

So here's wishing you better days

With no crap to take!

Life's dealt you enough of it

You need a break!

You Make Me Mad

 It's all your fault

So take the blame

And hang your head

In humble shame!

Because of you

I'm really stressed 

You put my patience

To the test!

You tick me off

Rock my boat!

Rile me up

And get my goat

Not only that

You make me mad!

And now I'm feeling

Pretty bad!

It sure has been

One lousy day!

Oh well......

I love you anyway!

You Have A Great Day

 Yesterday has passed

Like those gone before

Leaving behind it

A memory once more

But how fortunate we are

When another arrives

When we wake from our dreams

And open our eyes

Yes, a brand new beginning

Has now come our way

So a heartfelt good morning!

And you have a great day!

You Did It! You Quit!

 You did it! You quit!

That's incredible news!

I'm delighted to hear it

And just real proud of you!

I know it's not easy

It has to take guts

To give up those cigarettes

That you liked so much

Those deadly companions!

Oh - you'll miss them awhile

It might be a challenge

And a bit of a trial

But someday - not too far

You'll tell folks with pride

"I am an x-smoker

And it's great to be alive!"

You Changed My Life

 My heart was hurting

Really bad

And all I felt

Was really sad

I couldn't seem

To find a way

From that dark place

To the light of day

Then there you were!

So sweet! So right!

You walked on in

And changed my life!

Now I know

I'll make it thru

And with all my heart

I'm loving you!
