Something to Someone
Page One
We are all born into this World with certain
abilities and various needs. The challenge of Life is
for us to discover those abilities and to use them, while
fulfilling our needs. Each person must do this within
the realm of a completely unique set of circumstances.
Our abiliteis are as many and varied as there are
people, but we will find that our needs are common to all.
The need that offers the greatest potential for joy
is also the need that offers the greatest potential for pain,
the need to share our life with someone.

I don't wish to be
Everything to Everyone
But I would like to be
Page Three
I t's so easy
To think about Love
To talk about Love
To wish for Love
But it's not always easy
To recognize Love
Even when we hold it
In our hands
Page Four
I am a collection of characteristics
Both physical and mental
That makes me completely unique
No one else anywhere
Is exactly like me
And I realize that not everyone
Who crosses my path
Will be interested
In what I have to offer
But my strength comes
From the belief
That Someone
Somewhere
Can and Will
Appreciate me
For what I am

Being Human
I will make mistakes
I will say things that shouldn't be said
I will do things that shouldn't be done
And these things will bring pain
To myself and unfortunately to others
But when the time comes
That I have hurt enough
To ask for forgiveness from God above
And understanding from my fellow man
Then I will have the strength
To continue

I've noticed a paradox
In this cold world where strangers seldom speak
And Heaven forbid should they ever touch
But on a dance floor when slow music plays
Two strangers can come together
Without questions
Without lies
And while the music is playing
They can express a basic human need
To hold
And be held
And somehow I can't help but believe
That the whole world
Should learn to play
A little more
"Slow Music"

When the music slowed
I crossed the crowded room
And reached out to her
She came without hesitation
Not as a stranger
Who had shared only a smile
She placed her hand in mine
Her head on my shoulder
And her body close to mine
As the music played
I could feel her trembling
From all the loneliness inside
Yet we never spoke
Fore there really wasn't anything
That needed to be said
When the song ended
She returned to her world
And I to mine
Now after all the years
I will occasionally close my eyes
And relive those few moments
That we shared
Page Eight
You can know someone better
In a moment of Honesty
Than ever you can
In a lifetime of Lies
Page Nine
From time to time
Two paths will cross
Then merge together
To appear to be one
And as such will travel
Many miles
But so often
The fortunes of the World
Make it neccessary
For them to separate
In order to reach
Their own Destinations
Page Ten
The pain we feel
When someone leaves our Live
Is in direct proportion
To the joy they bring
While a part of our Life

For a few moments
In my Life
You made me feel
As if I truly meant
Something To Someone
