To Touch The Heart
	
	To touch the heart of someone dear -
	though it might sometimes cause a tear
	To fall or rest upon the cheek 
	- Should be something all one should seek. 
	For often hearts not touched at all
	- Start hardening and shrinking small. 
	And then the time it takes to grow
	- A loving heart is very slow. 
	For hearts expand as those who care 
	- Extend their love and let us share 
	A moment, space or special phrase 
	that eases pain on dreary days. 
	Or simply starts our lips to smile 
	and brightens time for just a while. 
	The ways and kinds and means of sharing
	it seems to me - Are based on caring. 
	And though we're often worlds apart
	- You still can touch my very heart. 
	You make me smile or shed a tear
	- And I'll remember year to year 
	Just how your 'touching' helped me grow 
	- And I just thought I'd tell you so. 
	
	
	Remember Me
	
	When life's a struggle
	And the world gets you down
	Just remember the one
	Who turned your life around
	
	When you think no one cares
	And no one could understand
	He will be here waiting
	Just to hold your hand
	
	When you feel so neglected
	And you feel so alone
	You feel so unwanted
	In every fiber of your bones
	
	Remember the one
	Who told you he cared
	The one who promised you
	To hold you when your scared
	
	Remember the times
	That you cried together
	And somehow just doing that
	Made everything seem better
	
	So if tomorrow morning you wake up
	And the darkness doesn't let you see
	Just Remember the one who loved you
	Just Remember Me
	
	
	Journey of Love
	
	Two destined lovers met one day
	Their love was fairy tale,
	as she would often say:
	"He's my loving Savior
	He's my strong white knight,
	I'll love him until I die,
	the love we share's so tight."
	
	Their love grew stronger
	Their hearts became whole.
	To others they were in-separable.
	Their love came from their soul.
	
	From day to day,
	their love stayed warm
	Even through thick and thin,
	their love would not be torn.
	
	He called her his princess,
	his baby and his heart.
	They pledged their love together,
	and promised they'd never part.
	
	Together they planned their future.
	Together they planned their life.
	They planned that they would marry
	and she would be his loving wife.
	
	Who would have thought
	their clear blue sky, 
	would turn black and grey?
	Who would ever imagine?
	Their love would drift away
	
	Their love which came from heaven.
	Had slipped before their eyes
	Their love which once was warm.
	Now slowly dies.
	
	Their hearts were torn apart,
	by life's everyday sins.
	Now they are not together,
	their feared fate sadly wins.
	
	But their love is still alive
	the love within their heart.
	Though they cannot rebuild
	the love they felt at the start.
	
	So now there is no end,
	no key to set them free.
	Living this life in misery
	as their once true love
	Is history.
	
	
	Ghetto Love
	
	I Stand Here Alone
	Calling out to you
	You are somewhere
	Up in the sky so blue.
	
	Once upon a time 
	You were by my side
	Always together
	Until the day you died
	
	You lost your life
	I lost your love 
	The day you returned
	To heaven above
	
	We were so happy
	Everything was great
	But for our love story
	It is just too late
	
	From smiles to tears
	Laughter to severe pain
	You were taken from me
	Just another brother slain
	
	The neighbours whisper
	You deserved to die 
	A boy from the hood
	Selling drugs to get by
	
	You were a good kid
	Just trying to get paid
	So you could escape 
	A lifetime of being afraid
	
	You were not a thug
	Just a boy who dreamed
	Who's life was cut short
	Before his sins redeemed
	
	When we were alone
	You were so much fun
	So hard to believe
	That you packed a gun
	
	
	The streets raised you
	And got you shot dead
	Someone you grew with
	Filled your body with lead
	
	At 22 your life cut short
	All over an unpaid debt
	The image of your body
	That day i just cant forget
	
	Your homies poured out
	A little liquor in your name
	For another brother lost
	In the search for fame
	
	I found out I'm expecting
	A precious gift from you
	In just three months time
	Our darling baby is due
	
	I will raise him to know
	His daddy was a rider
	Doing all that he could
	To be a good provider
	
	It is so hard without you
	But life has to go on
	I have a purpose now
	I must raise our son
	
	I miss you so bad baby
	I want you to come back
	I love you with all my heart
	Was not ready for this attack
	
	Now you're gone forever
	I can only visit your grave
	Just another brother
	The ghetto couldn't save.
