If I gave you a moment

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

Drink your coffee and sip your tea
think you did right by somebody
Soon you will see
How well you have done
what will your final grade be
Can you be happy with it
Live with the guilt
Turn around and see the damage
An accident in slow motion
You can't turn away or stop it
It's to late to change it but what if

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

You rewind in your mind
Play it over wish to re-record again
But you can't do another take
You already printed it
It's out in the world now
The moment has passed
It will always last
It might be forgotten
But it may not be forgiven
No do overs in this
BUt if you had a second chance
What would you do with it
How would you handle it

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

It goes and it comes
You say what you think they want
But do you feel that way
Times change so do we
Hard as it is to believe
Say you do for others
What happens when the timer buzz's
Do you stay true or do you run
Promises don't always come true
Broken and bruised we become
Tossed around so much
Jaded from so much stuff

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

Hit replay in your mind
Pause and hold that moment
Wish what you could change
Know it's never going to be the same
Hold on to your words
Use them with care
Stand up, climb to the top
see your moment clear
Make it count when you can
Cause in that moment that's all you get

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

Whispers on the Wind

My lips to your ears
Never made its destination
Lost in a constellation
Some where they are still alive
That's how they become
Whispers on the wind

A flood of memories
Breeze caresses your cheek
Sparking words lost in time
Flying in space
A ride of a lifetime
On re-entry you discovery
Whispers on the wind

Whispers become your words
When they have lost momentum
They can become lost in perception
No longer correct communication
When it becomes a
Whisper on the wind

Hearts beat on and on
Strength from within you hold on
Waiting for messages time and time
Listing everything in your mind
Darkness may be a friend
Light might be an enemy
You will always have
Whispers on the wind

Hidden times in full view
Puzzle pieces in the wrong places
Zippers unlined
Busting at the seams
Remember the good things
As bad ones come to be
Everything will eventually become
Whisper on the wind

Whispers become your words
When they have lost momentum
They can become lost in perception
No longer correct communication
When it becomes a
Whisper on the wind

It all becomes

Winds full of whispers

Butterfly

I started out so small
All bundled up and kept warm
You checked me out
Made sure everything was okay
You held me close and you said

One day you will grow
learn everything you need to know
You'll bloom out of your cocoon
You'll grow and fly always
My beautiful butterfly, someday

You tried so hard to teach me
What I needed to know
Tired to protect me from the world
No matter what I did you was there
You'd give me a hug and would say

One day you will grow
learn everything you need to know
You'll bloom out of your cocoon
You'll grow and fly always
My beautiful butterfly, someday

Now we look back in time
Search our memories for good times
I've learned my lessons good and bad
You'll always be there with a hug and a helping hand
Now I look at you and I say

Today I have grown
Learned everything I need to know
I'm coming out of my cocoon
And now I'm flying away
I'm a beautiful butterfly today

Beautiful Butterfly has flown away

All in one Take

These curve balls I can’t catch them

Come at me from every direction

In life is a coach

The game is the lesson as we go

The book changes as we go

The rules we will never know

So no matter what you know it never stays the same

How do I get through it all 

I don’t have a cheat sheet

The answers change day to day

Someone give me a break

Tell me what will it take

To make it all through in one take

It keeps spinning around and around

Had me so dizzy I fall down

Not enough band aides to bind up all my wounds

What am I suppose to do

I get up and brush it off

Head back three point line

Take another swing at it

But I don’t I can get a touch down

Missed the goal once again

How do I get through it all 

I don’t have a cheat sheet

The answers change day to day

Someone give me a break

Tell me what will it take

To make it all through in one take

I hate that I don’t have the answers

I don’t have the play book

A can’t fire a crocked line

Where is my defense

Please please tell me

How to get through all of this

How do I get through it all 

I don’t have a cheat sheet

The answers change day to day

Someone give me a break

Tell me what will it take

To make it all through in one take

Give me the answers please

Let me look over your shoulder

Help me out whisper the answers

Not sure I can do it on my own

How can I do it all in one take
