My Precious Baby Boy
A mother's joy begins when new life is
stirring inside...
when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the
very first time,
and a playful kick reminds her that she
is never alone.
We never dreamed you'd be so beautiful...
In all of the times we tried to imagine
every last detail of who you would be,
thru all of the nights we spent quietly thinking
of how we would feel
when we first looked at you,
we patiently waited
and silently wondered.
We hoped and we prayed
and we tried to imagine...
but we never dreamed you'd be so beautiful.
Babies are angels that fly to the Earth,
their wings disappear at the time of their birth,
one look in their eyes and we're never the same.
They're part ot us now and that part has a name,
that part is your heart and a bond that won't sever our babies are angels, we love them forever.

*Angels Cry Mariah Ft. Neyo*
I would've stayed if you said
We could've made everything OK
But we just
Threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I'm still on the ground
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all
'Member we used to touch the sky
And
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry
C'mon babe can't our love be revived
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry
I thought we'd be forever and always
You were serenity
You took away the bad days
Didn't always treat you right
But it was OK
I do somethin' stupid
And you still stay with me
But you can only go for so long
Doing the one you claim to love wrong
Before too much is enough
You look up
Find your love gone
And
We were so good together
How come we could not weather
This storm and just do better
Why did we say goodbye
'Cause lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Now every night
I feel the angels cry
C'mon babe can't our love be revived
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry
Baby I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
Baby I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
But we let it slip
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry
Oh babe, the angels cry
When Fantasy Becomes Reality
What do you think about when you close your eyes just before you go to sleep? And when your mind begins to wander at work or at school?
Those daydreams you have from time to time are actually fantasies, by another name. The imagination provides limitless potential for all your heart's desires to come together into these fantasies. Aspirations of becoming a professional athlete, a model, an actor, actress, or a rock star all fit this ticket. The perfect boyfriend or girlfriend, your long-awaited wedding day, and other romantic fantasies also reserve special places in your mind. Even if your longings are not that momentous in the grand scheme of things, such as going on a spectacular vacation or becoming especially skilled at a sport or hobby, your daydreams allow your mind to live out a perfect scenario.
Young girls often begin dreaming up their weddings at ages as early as 12 to 14 years old, if not sooner. It is very likely that they may even have their bridal party and color scheme chosen before targeting their potential mate! Girls are romantic creatures by nature, and thrive on love and amorous thoughts.
Meanwhile, boys tend to think about sports, and often imagine themselves in key roles, Olympic contenders, professional athletes, or critical goal or point-scorers. It is rare to find a boy who is already thinking of his wedding at such a young age. Women tend to dream about the future, while many boys and men are more concerned with the present and making the most of it!
Fame and fortune also feed into fantasies. Many people crave a few moments in the limelight, whether by acting, modeling or performing in general. A hobby such as playing an instrument or singing can fuel these desires, and can sometimes even push the individual to his or her full potential. Being named Homecoming Queen, Team Captain or a lead role in a theater production are also possibilities of fantasies. The best way to make this sort of fantasy come true is through hard work and dedication!
Dreams of freedom can also occur for many people and that freedom could range from freedom from worry, responsibility and stress to the ultimate freedom: the ability to do Whatever You WANT!
Finally, the universal fantasy: a match made in heaven with a soul mate. Doubtless, the flawless relationship has crossed all of our minds at least once or twice. Mr. or Mrs. Perfect falls at our feet, we fall madly in love and voila! We are married, living in a beautiful home with a white picket fence, an in ground pool, two young kids and a dog.Or maybe that isn't your ideal fantasy. Whatever the case, having a special someone with whom to share the daily occurrences of life can make all the difference.
This perfect person could be extremely attractive, athletic, polite, intelligent, and very similar to you. He or she could also be on the opposite end of the spectrum. Perhaps it is someone you know, someone youve yet to meet, or someone famous that everyone knows from the big screen. From a prom date, to a significant other, to a marital partner, romantic fantasies top the charts.
Are these daydreams and fantasies healthy and indicative of a good lifestyle? Surethey encourage one to work toward his or her greatest talents and efforts, to dream big and to make things happen. Does the time and place of these fantasies matter? Not so much, but to a degreeletting the mind wander here or there can be a motivating factor if it isnt in complete excess.
The probability of these fantasies actually coming true is relative to each fantasy itself. If you already know your dream guy or girl, approach him or her and express your interest. Get to be friends and see if sparks fly; it is better to take a chance than to forever wonder what-if and live the fantasy in your mind alone.
A fully paid shopping spree, the perfect date, any number of imaginable thoughts can motivate their dreamer to work toward success and fulfillment of those fantasies. Keeping a fantasy in the back of your mind will give you something to think about when you need a driving force behind you, or something to simply give you a secret smile!

I've seen tidal waves
People washed away
Seen the towers fall
Trust me, I've seen it all
Hurricanes have come
Entire cities gone
Snowing in July
And no one can tell me why
I give you a million reasons to leave
But you don't give up
Keep calling my phone
But I don't pick up
Couldn't see you with me
That sounds crazy
So why am I holding back?
'Cause crazier things have happened
So why not give us a try?
Why not give love a chance?
'Cause crazier things have happened
And take it from me
Crazier things have happened
Bombs are going off
All our soldiers lost
And who pays the cost?
It doesn't make sense at all
I am just a girl
I can't change the world
'Cause it's way too tough
So maybe I'll start with love
I give you a million reasons to leave
But you don't give up
Keep calling my phone
But I don't pick up
Couldn't see you with me
That sounds crazy
So why am I holding back?
'Cause crazier things have happened
So why not give us a try?
Why not give love a chance?
'Cause crazier things have happened
And take it from me
Crazier things have happened
I was so scared to try
'Cause I've seen other people cry
And it seemed like it hurt too much
To fall in love
But I've, I've seen so much in life
To let the world pass me by
To let love pass me by
Not this time
So why am I holding back?
'Cause crazier things have happened
So why not give us a try?
Why not give love a chance?
'Cause crazier things have happened
And take it from me
Crazier things have happened
Crazier things have happened
My Avalanche By Marie Digby
MARIE DIGBY - Avalanche lyrics
And the temperatures change, nothing's the same
Left me, in yesterday
You don't see me that way, touch me that way, no more
When d'you get so cold, I'm not sure just how much longer I can hold
You got me standin' at the bottom of this mountain that we made (mountain that we've made)
And the ground is shakin' from all of our mistakes (all of our mistakes)
But there's no wall, nothing but us is in our way
It's a matter of time, We can rewind
If only you knew, what my heart goes through for you
I'm tryna break through, Don't you think it's worth the chance?
Let's leave the past, Is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, oh, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, yeah, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche, ooooh)
We see what's up ahead, Why do we stay? Watchin' us fadin'
Trapped in, by regret
There's no way out, and there's no way in, no
And it's so cold, I'm not sure just how much longer I can hold
You got me standin' at the bottom of this mountain that we made (mountain that we've made)
And the ground is shakin', from all of our mistakes (all of our mistakes)
But there's no one, nothing but us is in our way
It's a matter of time, We can rewind
If only you knew, What my heart goes through for you
I'm tryna break through, Don't you think it's worth the chance?
Let's leave the past, Is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, oh, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, yeah, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche, ooooh)
The bond is breaking, and it's taking over, my spirit (quickly, quickly)
Something's shifted, have we drifted too far apart now?
If only you knew, What my heart goes through for you
I'm tryna break through, Don't you think it's worth the chance?
Let's leave the past, Is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, oh, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, yeah, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche, ooooh)

Heal My Broken Heart
I think a defining moment in one’s life comes the instant we realize what we could have had. Not that it makes us who we are or that we should spend our lives beating ourselves up over it; however, when these moments come, we often find ourselves in shoulda-coulda-woulda land for at least a short period of time.I had returned to my hometown after what seemed like forever and a day. In reality, I had only been away a year and a half. My marriage had gone south, and having no close ties to anyone in Kentucky, I came home to Missouri to be near my family and start a new life. I was in a state of chaos and confusion – the emotional roller coaster that often accompanies separation and divorce. I had nary a clue as to what I wanted, where I was going, or even who I was at that point. My marriage had soured me on relationships, so I was certainly in no position to get involved, nor was I capable of recognizing what was there.I met Billy Joe at the town square. He just happened to sit on the bench beside me, and we started chatting. We hit it off and quickly became involved. I thought he was a great guy: sweet, intelligent, straight forward, brutally honest, yet a gentleman. With Billy, what you saw was what you got. I liked everything about him, and thought he was rather cute too. He was a very young looking 30, with smooth skin, long legs, a nice body, and long, shiny brown hair. He was here for work, had come from Arkansas, and I thought I had hit the jackpot with this sweet southern rock charmer.I knew I was falling completely, totally, hopelessly head-over-heels for this man. Maybe I couldn’t accept that right then. I know I was scared of being hurt again; jaded by one too many loves-gone-wrong. So, I kept my mouth shut. I never told Billy how I felt. Somewhere in my mind, I had convinced myself that this was not a serious relationship; it was more of a fling or friends with benefits kind of thing.I started seeing other guys. I mean Billy and I were not exactly a couple, so I didn’t think it would matter. The first clue that it was an issue became clear when he saw me with someone else. The look on his face said it all. Still, he never mentioned it and neither did I. We just went on like usual. Eventually, I moved in with someone I did not really even like just because he wanted me too. I still saw Billy when I could, but eventually our meetings were few and far between.I missed him all the time, but was still afraid to admit how I felt. Eventually, those hidden feelings backfired on me. Billy was planning to go home and came to see me. I was a wreck, unsure of anything in my life. I didn’t really think he loved me, so I was ready to just give up and move on. His last words to me as he left that day were “Who knows? Maybe in a year or so, we’ll be married.” I didn’t know what to say, so I silently watched as he walked away.Billy knew how to get a hold of me, and for a while, I held onto hope that he would…don’t we all? By now, I had realized my mistake; I knew he loved me and kept asking myself why I had not run after him or left town with him? His failure to communicate in the beginning or to get in touch afterward was heartbreaking. Nevertheless, I could not lay it all on Billy’s shoulders; after all, I hadn’t said a word either.For a long time, I moped around – depressed, angry, and very frustrated by what I felt as life throwing one more injustice in my direction. Yes, it was a pity party, and I was the honored guest. Two months after he left town, I found out I was pregnant with Billy Joe’s baby. I was joyous but terribly sad as well. I had no idea how to let Billy know and it mattered very little anyway, as our daughter only survived to the fifth month before I lost her.After the miscarriage, I tried to rebuild my life. I tried to move on from all the heartache and sorrow. I started working more, meeting people, and doing whatever I could to rebuild the happiness I felt I needed and deserved.A few months later, I ran into a mutual friend who told me Billy had never made it back to Arkansas. He had gone to a bar for his final night here and was killed by a knife-wielding maniac when he tried to break up a fight.Since then, it has been 6 years. Time has helped ease the pain and has made things easier to deal with. The good memories are there, and I often miss Billy and wonder what if…I have moved on in life, have remarried, have a family, a career, and have found the happiness I sought.I found that time does heal the pain, but you have to work at it a bit and look ahead to find that bright light in your life after such pain. I could have sat back, wishing, wanting, and holding on to a past I had no control over. I could have allowed all the grief to swallow me up. Instead, knowing I had to get on with my own life, I made sure to embrace every opportunity to do so. Sure, I still felt pain and sadness, but it helped tremendously to stop and appreciate the small things in life for their simple beauty. Getting out there and living each day the best I could made time pass easily and pain fade over time. Most of all, I learned never to bottle up my thoughts and emotions. It was good to talk; to remember. Eventually, I could celebrate Billy Joe’s life through the good memories and knew that by moving ahead in my own, I was honoring him.
