Everyday
I can’t believe
the things I see everyday
And life, is just
a mystery to be lived, everyday
Just this morning
I fell in love with myself again
It’s been too
long since I’ve seen this beautiful face
Even longer since
I’ve seen my beautiful smile
And heard my
laughter resound through my heart
Feels so good to
be who I am
Come on and join
this happy parade
Don’t be just a
face in the crowd
Let me see you
smile and kiss the life
You were meant to
lead all these years
And it’s only
now that you believe
You serve a higher
purpose to God and yourself
Thank God it’s
not too late
Before you
embraced the beauty of who you are
Come on join the
parade say hello to your neighbor
The girl next door
has always been in love with you
In a year or two
she will be your wife
Soon after you
will be blessed with a beautiful child
But
for now, smile, wave to the crowd
Everyone’s happy
to see you made it through
Kiss that baby on
its chubby cheek
Wave to the old
lady who prayed while you slept
I can’t believe
the things I see everyday
So much is given
when nothing is lost
So much is
expected when what have you given to the cause
And you wonder why
your soul is barren
Goodness needs a
place to breed
In your heart even
happiness would die
Someone lesser
than God would think twice
To enter this
place where the secret of darkness lives
But God loves all
his children, even you
And he prays
somewhere along the way
The message of
life will be heard
Everything you
were meant to be, you will become
All is not lost,
all is never lost
When the moment
comes when you think of giving up
When you think
eternal silence is better than life
Search your memory
rewind through your mind
Find a time when
your heart leapt for joy
Hold on to it
until the sadness disappears
In this abyss I
too have lived for days on end
Always knowing
that this to shall pass
Better days are
ahead don’t give in to your temporary hell
I can’t believe
the things I see everyday
Thankful I am to
still be here
Thankful I am to
open my eyes to another day
I can’t believe
the things I see everyday.
Jéan-Pierre,
Dean
