Songs of the Heart by Megan Whitlock (rom com books to read .TXT) 📖

spring
It’s these songs that help heal my soul
Like the rains in spring cause new growth
Do these tears I shed cause my soul to grow
They mend the wounds laid upon my heart
By trials and people
Music paints a picture in my mind
It feels as if I am actually seeing a story take place
Before my very eyes
A song of a couple being married paints a great picture
He sings of his wife and how she looked on their wedding day
“That rose is red and her eyes are blue”, he sings
What a bright picture it does paint
When it seems life is too hard
Music clears my head so I can think
The Misty fog that lays in my mind vanishes
Music is like the light of the ever-burning sun
Like sunlight, it penetrates the thickest fogs
So I may think clearly
Music allows me to express how I feel
Hearing songs that I relate with
Makes life easier at times for I know I am not alone
Music is a big part of my life it’s who I am
As I told you in the beginning
This tale is true and mine
To See You Smile

You are the first song that my heart has ever heard
You are my heart and soul my world
Season’s come seasons go and time passes
Time changes many things
It turns a girls hair from brown to gray
But time will not change my feelings for you
I want you to be happy more than anything
Your happiness equals my own
Don’t worry about how this will affect me
I would do anything to make you smile
Anything to make you laugh
Just to see and know that you were happy
At the end of the day
When everything has been said
When choices have been made
I never count what it costs to make you happy
Seeing that you are happy makes everything that I have lost
Worth losing
I fell for you hard and fast
Id do anything to see you smile
Your smile is so bright
It is brighter than the sun
And it melts my heart
You told me that you needed time
That didn’t hurt me near as badly as the tears that poured down
Your face like rain from a cloud
I saw you with her
I knew what you wanted
So I lied and told you that I was happy for you
And I’d lie again I’d do anything just to see you smile


Dreams

Some people spend all their life
Fading in the wind
Ignoring their dreams
Some people dream of fame and fortune
Some people dream of soaring in the sky
Some people dream of making a difference
Some dream of finding their perfect love
In my dreams
I see a sky of blue
Clear skies and clear water
Wind blowing through my hair
The sound of children playing
In my dream I see all your dreams come true
Dreams are marvelous things
They keep our heads up
When we feel so low
Like we don’t have a reason to look up
Dreams keep us looking up at the stars
They give us hope
And will power to go on
In my dreams
What I see is you
Smiling and laughing
Everything you want coming true
Your greatest wishes
Your hearts greatest desires
All appearing before your eyes
In my dreams all of your dreams come true
In my dreams your happy and nothing troubles you
Your dreams come true
Dreams are wishes made by the heart
This is my wish for you

In My Heart

My life is a stage
And you are my number one star
You quickly came
And now just as quickly as you came
You’re leaving
Right in the middle of a song
Goodbye
As time passes
I count the days we are apart
And the days we spent together
The words that were said
And those that weren’t
Every teardrop
Every hug
Though your are leaving
One thing is for sure
Goodbye can seem like forever
And when it comes time to say
Farewell it may feel like the end
But in my beating heart
Are memories of you and me
You may leave
And say goodbye
But in my heart are memories
And there you will always be
From this day on
Now and forever more
No matter how far apart
We are
In my heart is where
You will be


The Front Lines

I keep my head down
As the sound of gunfire fills the air
The earth quakes
It sounds like thunder under our feet
The sound of the enemy tanks cause
Shear terror to strike into
Our hearts
I load my rifle preparing for
That which is ahead
The stench of death is strong
It twists my stomach into knots
As my eyes peer at the lifeless bodies
Im distracted from this sickness
When a bullet digs itself deep
Into the chest of my best friend
I run to his side and help the best I can
As I apply pressure to his wound
My hand disappears in a pool of blood
The bullet had pierced his lung
And he was slowly drowning in his own blood
It flowed from his mouth as he coughed
Struggling for breath
I watched the light in his eyes fade
As he died in my arms
The sound of an approaching tank
Forced me to leave him
Many of our soldiers had been
Killed from these tanks
When these tanks shot
It was so loud that it obliterated all
Other sounds of war
Our forces were surrounded
Cornered with no where to turn
There was nothing more
We could do
I sit in a ditch preparing for
What I thought would be
My last attack
And I flashed back and remembered
The reasons that I was there
The sight of the towers falling
The people that Im fighting for
Every United States citizen
Every mother and child
I was fighting for them
I thought of my family and my
Eyes began to swell with tears
And pour down my face like a waterfall
I swore I’d keep them safe
That I would defend them with my life
I would defend them so they
Could sleep in peace at night
And have their freedom
I am an American soldier
And I will fight to the death
For my country
Out on the frontlines
If death was to have closed my eyes
On that day
I knew I wanted it no other way
I prayed to god for my family
And our troops
That he would guide us with his protecting hand
It was then I grabbed my gun
And ran out onto the battlefield
All this out on the frontlines


True Friendship

It is but once in a life time
That a true friend comes around
People walk all over you in life
They look down their nose
And spit upon your face
They slam you into the earth
Hold you down and leave you with
Your face in the dirt
The taste of dirt and filth lay upon your tongue
It takes a little time to find
A heart that you can really trust
But a true friend is there for you
When you are lower than low
A true friend is right there
Extending a hand ready
To do anything to pick you
Up off the ground
To defy the force of gravity
And take the weight of the world off
Your shoulders
Ready to dust all the filth off of you
No matter what trouble
You get into
A true friend will always be there
To back you up
To defend you when you’re weak
And to speak for you when you cant
To comfort you when you need comforting
To dry your eyes when
They swell with tears
This friendship lasts forever
Seasons come and seasons go
Numerous adventures are taken
Ups and downs occur in life
When you are down
Look at the smiling faces around you
It’s these people that care about you
The power that these friendships radiate
Is brighter than the ever burning
Sun itself and lasts forever
This power is stronger than steel
And as durable as the mighty mountains
When the sea of life
Rages with storms you have
Your true friends
They calm the destructive hurricanes
In your life
It does take time to find
A heart such as this one
But when you do it will
Take you through forever
Like an artificial last forever
So will this friendship
The sands of time
The winds of change
Have no effect on it
This is the wonderful
Amazing, withstanding,
Power and strength of true friendship

Open Your Heart

It’s late at night
As I lay awake staring at the ceiling
Thoughts of you dance in my mind
I try to leave them behind but
Like a shadow do they cling to me
I can’t say that I hate it
For it would be a lie
Something inside of me refuses to let you go
I fight it and fight it but its no use
Anytime im angry you quickly
Cool me down with
Your sweet voice and wonderful smile
You try to act all bad in front
Of all your friends
They don’t know the real you
You’ve got them all fooled
But not me
I see past that mask
I’ve seen the person that you really are
And it is completely different
Than who you pretend to be
I wonder what you see when you look at me
What thoughts run through your mind
You tell others how you feel about me
Yet you refuse to say it to me
Are you that afraid
If I was to say to you that
Which lays upon my heart
Would you open yours to me
How I feel about you
Will never change that is my promise to you
The storms of life may rage
But nothing can wipe the pages
Of my heart clean
If you look you will find that
What I say is what the pages in my heart read
The seams of my heart will never tear
For what has made them strong are the memories I have of you
Forever and always is what my heart sings
Bounded in chains with a lock
Which your name is inscribed in
You have the key to this heart of mine
You have the power to do with it
What you will
Now I have said
What I feel
I took off the mask that I’ve worn
And showed you who I really am
Now I ask of you
To do the same
Put aside this fear
And open your heart
Just as I have
My heart is open for you
And I will now leave you with these
Three precious words
I love you

My Beloved Grandmother

I heard the news
But I couldn’t find a tear
But when it came to say my last goodbye
And I looked down at your pale face
Then I found my tears
I had to face my fears
You where gone
You use to sing to me
But you can’t sing your songs here anymore
So sing them sweet in heaven
With the rest of gods angels
You were always there for me
You held me when I was scared
Comforted me when I was sad
You raised me from a baby
You were my wonderful grandmother
As years passed I watched
Your hair turn from a faded brown
To a dark gray
Then
