To Christina, My sister , who is a gift from heaven

Mary, sweetest lady

Mary, sweetest lady, you who gave birth to Jesus

When he was a baby and a little boy

Did people seek him out

I wish I was there to see the miracles

What I would not give to see his sweet face

Mary, sweetest lady, did you cry when he was rejected by some

I am only a human who follows in his footsteps

People reject me also, because I am slow

One day I knelt in front of him

His hair is brown like mine

My eyes are blue like his

He put His hands on my head

I could almost feel a warmth

I felt it all over

Mary, sweetest lady, as he grew

Did God tell you what was to happen

He was beaten and thorns on his brow

I felt His tears, they were also my tears

Mary went with Him and suffered with Him

He looked at Mary and said "God forgive them"

At three o'clock Jesus said "it is finished"

Jesus died for the sins of man

His love for us is eternal

Mary saw Him after He had risen

Many saw him after that day

When we die it is Jesus who takes you by the hand

Heaven is a peaceful, beautiful place

If the Lord was not holding you, you could become blind

When Jesus blesses you, you feel holy and greatly loved

Mary, sweetest lady, because The Son of God was put on this earth

We, human men and woman were given a second chance of life forevermore

No Separation

I have a little sister who was kept a secret from me

When I finally found her no separation I could see

I love my little sister who is beautiful as a rose

There is no separation, I go wherever she goes.

I see through my sister's eyes

The beauty that is her's

No separation could ever be deserved

I see my sister's eyes looking through

If only I could hug her, tell her I care too

There will never be a separation

I can see the stars, I love you forever

No matter where you are

I see my sister looking at me in the mirrow

The gift of a sister

I wanted a gift I could call my own

A sister who is mine alone

The stork brought her to me a little late

I still was glad, I opened my arms to take

A beauitful child with golden hair

Blue eyes beyond compare

She calls me almost every day

True sisters are made that way

A lovely smile, she grew very tall

She is the one who is my all

I thanked our mom for this gift of love

She came with the stork from up above

When I am in sadness or when I have joy

She shares in all things I do

I tell her and she helps me through

If I was not given this gift of hope

I do not think without her I could cope

I thank the stars and the shining sun

She is my gift, the only one

Do remember me

The people's poet

Do you see me

Do you see me as I fly through the skies

Do you see me and the beauty in my eyes

Do you see me as a butterfly with the colors of a rainbow

Do you see me as you pick the flowers at dawn

I have not finished with life, I still carry on

My hope is for those that I know

Whenever they look at the world

My spirit they do not let go

God made me in His image

So I stand straight and tall

I will never look back on those who try to make me feel small

Do you see me in the sun and in the stars which shine so bright

All I wanted, was for someone to care for me

To hug and kiss me tight

Do you see me in the rivers which flow

In the beaches filled with sand

If you carve my name on the stone of time

Do you see me, I am a dove, so pure and fine

Is God the only one who see's how I tried to win

On this earth, do you see me

The rain are my tears

Does anyone wonder just how I got to here

I forgive those who hurt me

I am glad to know those who have cheered

Do you see me as I pass through the years
