To My College Friends: I Miss You by Jennie Moran

I miss the times that you would call with nothing much to do I miss the way we'd pass the time, together, me and you I miss the funny words we'd use, the games we used to play I miss you dropping by sometimes and cheering up my day I miss the crazy conversations and singing in the car I miss saying goodnight to you beneath the shining stars I miss the way you smile and the way we used to laugh I miss the stories of each other coming from a distant past I miss the scary outbursts and the way we used to fight I miss you warm against me on a dark and chilly night I miss you sitting with me on a sunny afternoon I miss the thoughtful talks beneath the luminous moon I miss sharing secrets and learning from each other I miss going with you, far from my family, and mother I miss you being there when I had no where else to turn I miss you leaving me with the promise to return I miss you not being here and all the things we used to do But in the end I guess all I really miss is you

Friends by Jennie Moran

Friends are most important You know they will be there To help you in your time of need And show you that they care

You'll be there for me, Ill be there for you We'll always be together No matter what we do

Ill help you with your troubles And wipe away your tears vI'll listen to your dreams And get rid of all your fears

Ill be someone to lean on To help you when your blue My shoulders here to cry on And I know yours is there too

Ill help you when your weak And stand by you when your strong Ill praise you when your right And correct you when your wrong

We'll take the road together No matter what the way If we take the bumps together It will always be okay

No matter what you do You will always be my friend No matter what will happen Were gonna make it to the end

Time Jennie Moran

Tomorrow never gets here today will never die yesterday has gone away Because time seems to fly

today you are a child tomorrow an adult you have to grow up some time but that is not your fault

you may want to speed things up or maybe slow them down but time controls our every move that's what I have found

today you are alive tomorrow maybe not things can change so quickly and Hope is all we've got

today you are a poor boy tomorrow your a king and only time its self knows what the future brings

time is uncontrollable no matter how we try it's always there controlling us and it will never die

it tells us how to live our lives and when our lives are done in the race of man and time time has always won

I just wanted to say

For every thing you've done I just wanted to say thank you For always being there When I'm blue For not leaving me Though you wanted to For listening to me Though you had better things to do For having five minutes But taking time to lend a few For when I was sitting there I was hoping it was true That though I was lonely Upset, sad and blue That deep down in my heart There was something that I knew That you would somehow find me And come to my rescue Then you came around the corner Through the door into my view You had finally come for me And I just wanted to say thank you

Mind and Heart

Allowing thoughts to drift one day As my mind and body part A single question comes here asking Better at mind or better at heart?

Better at heart and filled with love A friendly smile on thy face Or better at mind and filled with thought At the wonders of a distant place

Better a heart, but not to wise For badly broken it may be vOr better at mind and miss the love Entrapped in ancient memory

Better at heart with many friends And not so many enemy Or better at mind, although alone Thy own friend One may be

Better at heart and happiness Filled with joy and wealth Or better at mind and miss the joy But come to know thyself

Better at heart and kindness But filled with scars and fear Or better at mind, to skip the pain But lacking friendly cheer

Better heart in search of answers And better mind lost in though Achieving such an equal balance Is the answer they both sought

Thankful

If there is no tomorrow And all I have is here and now Even if it is soon over I'll be happy anyhow

Even if what I live for Tomorrow turns to dust If all my cherished memories Turn into nothing more than rust

Even if my precious dreams Are so quickly blown away Even if my hopes are lost I'll be thankful for today

If all I have achieved Floats away without a trace I will still look to tomorrow With a smile on my face

If I am left by friends and family And have to face the end alone I will still be thankful For the little I have grown

Even if the end is coming And I can feel it growing near I will still be thankful For the time that I got here

Less than happiness

a kiss of life, a taste of death what's here is less than happiness its the truth that makes you cry when you find that its a lie I have told it all before and still there's something more as I dry my tears, I cry my tears remembering the darkened years when you were a friendly stranger but I kill you out of anger now your a stranger friend once more it starts again I hide again. My life suppressed your thoughts of me are repossessed I want your laugh, you made me cry you hate the truth, I live the lies I love your fear, you hate me though surprised at the easiness it flows the evil that possesses you the passion that burst the things you do you stole my soul now give it back the viciousness of my attack the world spins round and now its slowing the hate inside I feel it growing you come back to me never knowing I seek the blood of your revenge the sharpened knife will seek you out it cuts the life within no doubt but I remember in all I do that some one could be killing you

Tonight

The hushed tapping on the window I rise from my unwanted sleep Open the window, the night pours in The gentle darkness greets me I see the moon's smiling phase And the twilight in its eyes The stars prance around me As they play tag with the night clouds And the night wind hums a silent song So peaceful is the night Dreams trickle in around me Closed eyes that capture all in tranquillity And ears that sing in silence Body wrapped in night's embrace And mind brims full of dreams Heart that drops a ripple of time A Soul that soars in night
