Pieces of me

A wish is a wish That can come true If meant for me Or meant for you Do you ever wish upon a star The first star you see in the night Wish it may and wish it might Grant all the wishes your heart desires? What do you wish for? Do you wish for yourself Do you wish for others Do you wish for it all Do you ever wish when you blow out a candle Wish for hope Wish for strength Wish for peace Wish for grace When you close your eyes and wish What do you see that makes you wish What do you feel that makes you wish What do you hear that makes you wish I wish for strength I wish for wisdom I wish for health I wish for hope But most of all I wish for faith With out faith we have none of the rest With out faith what do we have to live for. ©2008, Amanda Tachick

A lone star in the sky Shining so bright Spreading its light Gazing up high You shine so bright I begin to wonder If you see the same star Where are you watching it from Where do you live, What do you think What do you feel Are you seeing the same star as I Watching it so intensely And wondering where I am Do you think of me And wonder about me Do you yearn to touch and hold me Like I do you Do you dream of me Like I do you And wake up wondering When we shall meet? I gaze and wonder At the star so high And wonder if I wished right now Would it come true And I would see you… ©2008, Amanda Tachick

Where did you go when I needed you most? The hole is so big in my life Yet I don’t know why Your wisdom Your smile Your teasing way It seems just like yesterday I spoke to you last The man I looked up too And loved with all I am Has left and gone Leaving me all alone No more hugs No more talks No more his favorite girl No more his little princess I feel so alone So lost So confused Which way do I go What do I do Arguments ensue Family lines drawn Hatred and disgust Flow from every pore Why did you leave And leave me all alone Why did you leave And leave me lost Why did you leave And leave me confused I’m tired of being the rock I’m tired of answering their problems I’m tired of being confused and hurt I’m tired of feeling alone I know you are in a better place Yet your time here should have been longer A freak accident took you from me And now I’m alone You taught me to live To remember the past To remember what life was like To remember at all So I shall live on And make you so proud ...
