poems for friends and family

Candles in the sky

I see birds singing and butterflies in the trees

I see tall building crumpling at my feet

I watch the heavens in the great blue sky

I see life as it passes me by

I can see a rainbow, a symbol of God's love

I want to light a candle for the sky above

I have seen great leaders of the past

Have their life taken away

I cry and laught on the best kind of day

Let there be candles in the sky

Never forget our fallen solders, who have pass us by

I see the angels, sing to me

Heaven is a great place to be

I want to light a candle in memory

May we live happy

May we live long

When we pass, may we see the face of Jesus

Go to heaven where we belong

For every little tear drop

For every little tear drop

A sun comes shining through

Everytime it rains

Some happiness comes to you

A Lake can sparkle

Even in the moonlight

If you forget your troubles

The world is all aglow

For I have had many a little tear drop

With alot more that would flow

If you can not change your life

You must look at yourself

Even if you are alone

I will be there for you

So every little tear drop

Try to let them go

It is the answer, this much is true

For I myself do know.

Be strong and let a smile come through

Then the little tear drop on a windowpane

Will be just that, there is hope along the lane

Touched by an angel

I was touched by an angel as I slept

With her wings, she touched my cheek

She whispered im my ear

God is protecting you

So you can go back to sleep

Where I am going, I do not know

But my heart is full of love this I am told

When you are touched by any angel

Heaven you see, your life begin

When I reach the sun, my soul comes throuugh

I went to the window, to see the view

The stars were out, dancing all around

I saw more angels coming down

I was touched by an angel, I was ready to go

Up in the sky we went, A kiss to everyone I sent

I was going to see Jesus, The Son of man

A touch of an angel held my hand

When the gates were open

I heard a cheer, My friend of my family

Were all up here

The people' s poet

I never knew

I never knew I would find a man like you

You were always there, I could not see

How blind I was, or what you mean to me

I wish I saw how much pain you were in

There was a veil across my eyes

I never could realize

Now you mean so much, can I touch

Your face in my hands, I understand

My tears will wash away, your sorrow today

There is no man who has so much truth

I believe in this man I have come to love

You were sent to me from up above

I never knew how I would feel

I almost let love slip me by

Now I know how love can go

I will be yours, until we die

Walk with me so God can see

You now mean the world to me.

Written for Nadir Boundjeriha

How could I ever forget you

The stars still shine for me

How could I ever forget you

You helped me be the woman I was meant to be

How could I ever stop loving you

When you always stood by my side

The oceans go on forever

My tears are also that wide

How can I ever forget you

With all that we have been through

You may not be my real mother

Still I give all my love to you

How can I ever forget your smile

When the sun still shines

I could look the world over

Yet never anyone like you could I find

How could I ever forget you

When in my heart you lay

How could I ever forget you

You carry my soul away

I know I do not have the color of your hair

I do not have the brown of your eye's

Yet my feelings for you do not chance

They could not if they tried

I want you to know it does not matter

If I do not have your blood

You love me and took care of me

Now you are with the angels above

Your spirit is now of a dove
