LIFE GOES ON

It’s been a year since you’ve been gone. It’s kind of hard but Life Goes On – like lightning bugs in a jar.
I remember that day we stole away, and sat beside a waterfall, and looked up at the stars in the sky.
It reminds me of the days that we would run and play and catch lightning bugs in a jar.
Yes, a year has passed, but I can’t forget how we used to catch lightning bugs in a jar.
Yes, I’m staying strong, and life goes on. But I cannot forget how we used to run and skip and put lightning bugs in a jar.
My, how the year passed by so very quick. But now our children run and skip and put lightning bugs in a jar.

Let Me Lean

Let me lean on you Lord, you know I’m not that strong.
Let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
As the days go by, I know you can hear me cry.
Let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
I knew there would come a day that I couldn’t make it all the way.
So let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
When my day gets rough, and I know I’m not that tough.
So let me lean on you Lord, let me lean.
At the end of the day, I can make it the rest of the way.
That’s when I turn and say, thank you Lord – for allowing me to lean.
So, when the road get rough, and you know I’m not that tough,
I just want to thank you Lord, for letting me lean.

LETTER FROM A SOLDIER

Even though I may be a thousand miles away, that only means the world is getting smaller every single day.

So, this is what I’ll do to show my love for you – I’ll send you a package every day.

It’ll be postmarked USA, and in this package, there will be a letter, saying I miss you every single day, from a soldier a thousand miles away.

Even though I can’t be with you on this Valentine’s Day, just read the letter and listen to what I have to say.

It will say I love you more than words can express, in a very caring way, from a lonely soldier, a thousand miles away.

GOLDEN YEARS

When you get caught up in your golden years, and life is moving kind of slow, these are some of the things that you should know.
Don’t hit the cruise button – that’s moving too slow – step on the gas, and let It Go.
Because these are the golden years you’ve been working for. To be able to lay down that heavy burden, from 9 to 5.
These are the days you’ve been waiting for.
So, pick up your keys, and hit the road, and don’t let nobody tell you you’re too old. Because these are the golden years you’ve been waiting for.
Now get it together, and hit the Road, and let them know you’re never too old.
Now, with your convertible top down, you can continue to paint the town – Because these are your – GOLDEN YEARS.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE

How can you love with no affection, how can you sing without a voice?
So, turn around and look in my direction. Because you always have a choice.
So don’t think life is only in One Direction. Because you always have a choice.
You can wake up early in the morning or sleep late on your motorboat.
Just remember you may not have the answer, but you always have a choice.
You may want to go swimming with the dolphins,
And find yourself swimming away from the sharks.
Just remember in life there’s always a reason,
You may not understand the answer –
Right, wrong, or indifferent, you always have a choice.
