Whether I’m right, or whether I’m wrong, Whether I find a place in this world or never belong, I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me! What else can I be but what I am? I want to live, not merely survive. And I won’t give up this dream of life that keeps me alive.... Read More

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O... Read More

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, darkness be over me, my rest a stone; yet in my... Read More

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Be My love, for no one else can end this yearning, This need that You and You alone create. Just fill My heart the way you’ve filled My dreams, The dreams that You inspire with every sweet desire. Be My love, and with Your kisses set Me burning. One kiss is all I need to... Read More

To dream the impossible dream. To fight the unbeatable foe. To bear with unbearable sorrow. To run where the brave dare not go. To right the un-rightable wrong. To love, pure and chaste from afar. To try when your arms are too weary to reach the unreachable star. This is my quest! To follow that... Read More

The little toy dog is covered with dust, But sturdy and staunch he stands; The little toy soldier is red with rust, And his musket molds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new And the soldier was passing fair; And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue Kissed... Read More

Love is but a song we sing. Fear’s the way we die. You can make the mountains ring, or make the angels cry. Though the bird is on the wing, and you may not know why, Come on, people now, smile on your brother, Everybody get together, try to love one another right now. Some... Read More
