Sarah Speaks It

Children deserve the world, but they have basic minimums that should be met.  Every child deserves a loving mother and father. Every child is entitled to love from both parents.  There are so many little ones being raised by single parents, and quite frankly, it's disturbing.  I understand that sometimes circumstances are beyond our control, but I also believe that as a parent we should do everything possible to avoid this situation.  Now, I'm not saying that you need to be married to raise your children.  I'm saying that mothers and fathers both have very critical roles in a child's life and living without one can cause life long emotional damage. A little girl who grows up without a father will always have issues with men.  She'll never feel safe, she will struggle with trusting them, and/or she will be so happy to have their attention that they stray down the wrong path of filling that void with sex. A young boy without a father will struggle to find his...

Change is inevitable. It is all around us at every moment. It is up to us to embrace the change and try to make it positive. Not all change will feel good, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason, even if only to make you stronger. Loss of a job, a loved one or a relationship is undoubtedly going to hurt. You have to look at the situation and evaluate the pros and cons. Remember that when one door closes another opens. It's simply up to you to walk through it. Not all change is positive. A downward spiral into an addiction, for instance, is change for the worse. I guess my point is to embrace change and allow it to help you with your upper mobility in life. It can always get worse, so take it for what it is and run through that newly opened door!

It's one of those days It's one of those nights I just won't be able To sleep tight It's one of those days I miss you so I just wish This pain would go It's one of those days My feelings all built up Why must they hide Like a scared little pup? It's one of those days I love you crazy And I'm so glad You are my baby It's one of those days What do I do? I'm dying over here Without you It's one of those days My heart just hurts Why won't it stop? It just gets worse It's one of those days Again, with out you Holding me, touching me Do you miss it too? It's one of those days Full of emotion Crying tonight Cause I'm under a love potion It's one of those days Please understand That without you I'm shelled like a clam

My heart has never grown cold Seeing you is like a dream retold The sparkle in your eye Gave me belonging beyond deny. The warmth of your hold Began to fill a giant hole The comfort of you Gave me a feeling so true. Lying here in a state of awe Still so happy she made the call Although so surreal it seems This is truly a coming of my dreams. So many days, so many years the unknown created too many tears So much pain, so much sorrow Each tear flowing towards a brighter tomorrow. Looking, I did so much Yet I couldn't get in touch Then with the press of a button I have a father, all so sudden. My heart beats uncontrollably Everyone so happy for me My mind lost in a state of joy I now wear a smile every day.

As the days go by I search within And finally I realize I belong with him He who has been here all along The one who knows my depth The true tune of my hearts song With him, I belong He who holds me Close through the night Keeps me warm And safe from the worlds fright He has given me strength Power to succeed The power to overcome Everything from deep within As I search deep within Each and every day And I finally realize He is the man for me

Here I stand to love you Arms wide open Waiting for your embrace Waiting for my knees to get weak Sheer happiness Is what I wish for you Pure love What I give you Then my thoughts drift... Do you love love me too? the same as I do you? Your love is strange Different to me at least Bold yet unknown Your touch, far from sensual Your kiss, unpassionate Your eyes, unengaged So, how do I know you love me? I ask myself everyday Is it because you come home to me? Or simply just because you're here? Is it your interactions? You seem to care more for others Than you do for me So again  I ask How do I know? Still unsure I say because I love you Love is never wrong The heart stays where it belongs Here I stand to love you Arms wide open.

You used to be so conservative and shy You never really said a word Now that your self esteem is high You make sure you are always heard. You used to be so worried and scared Always afraid of what happens next It came to the point that your eyes always seemed teared But yet you conquered all of life's little tests. You were always there to lend an ear But still always looked for someone to listen to you Your friends always counted on you to be there But you needed someone to walk with you. Friends and family always counted on you to be strong When times were bad you were always there They knew you would always hold on You looked after everyone with such care
