Untold Battles

There's a story inside each of us.

Fairytales untold.

Behind each shining eye there is

A hero brave and bold.

Who knows what battles have been won?

Who knows what's being fought?

Warriors dwell in each of us.

Victory fiercely sought.

We're all in a war together, 

And we're on each other's side

So let's build fortresses of love

Not barricades of pride. 

We're all fighting in our different ways

But the enemy's the same.

Let's defeat it with eachother

Let's now alight the flame.

Truth gleams brightly on our side.

Stronger than the sword.

How can we lose when we know

Our Leader is the Lord?

The Little Boy at the Mailbox.

The little boy stands on the curb
And reaches for the mail.
What mysteries await?
Only time will tell.

The mailbox stands taller than him
He poises on tiptoe.
And with an air of importance,
Inside his small hand goes.

He grabs the papers and the bills
And walks inside with pride.
What a responsible man he is!
Such confidence in stride.

Every day, he'll do the same
And take inside the mail.
Reminder that the little things
Can make a man feel swell.

I Want to Be

I want to look at life

As an opportunity;

A chance to grow and be

The best that I can be.

I want to look at life

With eyes of gratitude

With sincerity, kindness,

And the right attitude.

I want to live my life

And keep aiming for the skies. 

And be someone who loves

And who every moment, tries.
