  2. “When Angels Fly”

    When angels fly

    I am taken on their wings for an unforgettable ride

    They move so smoothly in an effortless glide

    When angels fly

    Though they are quiet, you can still hear them roar

    Watching them circle in flight, is a sight I adore

    When angels fly

    They rain down their heavenly golden tears

    It cleanses my sins and washes away my fears

    When angels fly

    You can almost hear them sing on high

    Their euphoric voices tend to make me cry

    When angels fly

    They live inside my mind where no one else can see

    But I know eventually they will return to set me free

  3. “Ripples”

    Very small waves

    that carry you

    so far away

    move me

    in the smallest

    of ways

    you stir up

    the tiniest emotions

    within me

    the gentle rise

    and fall touches

    you and me

    the flowing

    on the surface

    of constant motion

    ceaseless ripples

    like undulations

    bring you back

    to me

  4. “Something So Simple”


    (Let’s hear it for the simple life)





    Something so simple…

    …can touch my day.

    Something so simple…

    …helps me find my way.

    Something so simple…

    …brings me so much joy.

    Something so simple…

    …just a moment to enjoy.

    Something so simple…

    …moves my loving heart.

    Something so simple…

    …like a work of art.

    Something so simple…

    …fills up my wings.

    Something so simple…

    …like the little things.

    Something so simple…

    …is what I live for.

    Something so simple…

    …that’s all, nothing more.

  5. “The Importance Of Being You”

    You touch more lives than you will ever know

    Things that you say and do everyday impact people in so many ways

    Your ideas and passion spark creativity all around you

    Few will ever tell you how much they admire you, though many do

    The dynamics you have with others can never be replaced

    People copy you, repeating the words you have told them

    To those who love you,  you are irreplaceable

    One person, just like you, can touch the lives of millions

    You are meant to do great things

    If you do what is in your heart,  you will do it better than anyone else

    You were born with the keys, so unlock the doors to your potential

    The times you say yes, when other would say no, defines you

    Like a comforting warm blanket,  your love envelopes all who know you

    To your friends and family, you are a humble hometown hero

    The kindest of words seem to effortlessly fall from your lips

    Gestures of kindness and generosity are telling of your character

    You always put others before yourself, even when you are in need

    When I think about you, I smile

    When I think of who my role models are,  you come to mind

    Of all the people I am honored to know, you are the one

    I am so happy to know a person like you

    I am thankful to have you in my life

    You are an incredible human being who deserves to be told how special you are

    I hope one day, you will come to know, just how important,

    the importance of being you is…

  6. “Coming Up For Air”

    I am breaking through the surface

    Driven solely by purpose

    I am soaring to brave new heights

    Feel like it is written in the stars

    I can feel myself on fire

    The heat is intensifying

    I am only looking upward

    Swimming up from down below

    I am lifted by my calling

    Without any fear of falling

    I have saved myself from drowning

    By following my heart

    I am building up momentum

    My pulse is quickening

    I have learned how to let go

    No longer feeling breathless

    I am coming up for air

  7. “An Unexpected Poem”



    Like words that form a poem


    Inside your love I found a home


    Your soul paints upon my heart


    Like the most precious piece of art


    I imagine every sweetest possibility


    Because your beauty sets me free


    You are the lyrics to my song


    Singing to me all day long


    When you are by my side


    My skies are opened wide


    You lift my spirits way up high


    Like the winds that whisper why


    And no matter how far I may roam


    You will always be my unexpected poem

  8. “One World”

    One world

    Spinning around in orbit

    One World

    You were born to be my brother

    One World

    Our lives are in the balance

    One World

    Please join me shouting this chorus

    One world

    We are all in this together

    One World

    A place we all call home

    One world

    I see no borders between you and me

    One World

    Such a struggle for existence

    One World

    Learning to rise up from the ashes

    One World

    When we join hands we are united

    One World

    Let’s live in harmony

    One World

    I count you amongst my blessings

    One World

    The place that we call home

    One World

    You take my breath away

    One World

    There is just

    One World

  9. “People First”






    People First (inspired by the people of the world)




    On the road of life, nothing touches our lives more than people.  Not money, fortune nor fame.  We are a family, like a giant tree.  We are born into a given family yet find our chosen family along our journey of life.  Some of our most beloved and precious relationships will fall into both of our families.

    People will touch our lives in  ways we have never expected, sharing both the beauty of their wonderment and the depths of their darkest hours.  The smallest of exchanges can lead to a life time of memories.  The kindest deed can alter the course of our path.  The tiniest act can leave an amazing affect.  For we may all want different things, but our basic needs, as humans, are so very similar.  To be loved.  To be touched in special ways.  To be recognized.  To belong.   To make a difference.  To share moments.

    Our paths will be colored by the many many characters and players who come in and out of our lives.  Some people will be there from the very start.  Others will occupy nothing more than a brief stay.  Some will leave far too soon.  Our philosophies, ideas, beliefs, desires, fears, and dreams will be built around the fortress of this collection of relationships.  The people who impact us the most will remain in our collective consciousness.  Although we will forget about many people, we may continue to carry a piece of them forward throughout our journey.

    No life experience will touch us more than people.  Not any place or thing can begin to rival the influence people have on us.  The specialness each person offers can never be duplicated.  We are each our own unique symphony, playing our own song.

    We are all the sum of our life’s experiences.  A giant patchwork quilt made up of all the people who have touched us in a multitude of ways.  I call it the inspiration quilt.  It is the fabric our our lives!

    My life has called me to honor people, working on their behalf.

    Sharing peoples stories…telling their tales.

    Above all things I…..in all my work…

    I choose to recognize people first!

  10. “Build Something Beautiful Today”

    (inspired by Robin Sharma)

    Be the one who is in charge of their life

    The one who is carving out the statue made from nothing but the elements

    Each one of us is the architect laying out the blueprint for what’s to come

    Take the things you have and make something out of it

    Make anything you can even if you have little

    Inside we all have more than we know and much more than we tap into

    Realize the importance of just being you, the one and only you the world will know

    Design you life from inside the heart where your passion dwells

    Be so happy with your life’s choices, that you only feel joy for others

    We can have nothing but still have a life that is filled with riches

    Treasure the people and relationships that make you feel the most alive

    You have the choice to raise your voice, so raise it

    Where you have been has very little to do with where you can go

    All that you can be has nothing to do with what you are now

    When you feel it, that’s when you will know for sure

    And there is good reason for you to listen to it’s call

    Listen to the song that sings inside your heart

    It is a tune filled with the answers to so many of your questions

    Show anyone and everyone you can the power you see in them

    Let them know that you see the fire that burns in their eyes

    Cast your net wide open out into the world and see what it returns

    Use the moments of this day to build something beautiful today
