| God vs. Satan |

One day, God and satan were having coffee just beyond the outskirts of paradise, while playing chess. Satan was stating as a fact that soon, at the rate mankind is going, he will soon have all the souls down there in his kingdom. God begged to disagree. "In fact I will make a bet with you" said god. "Find one righteous man on earth and try to convince him to worship you instead. If you become successful, i will give you all the souls on earth, on questions asked. The only rule is that you can not harm him physically."
Satan immediately went to earth and sought out the most miserable human being he can find. He figured that they are the ones who may be easily swayed by the promise of pleasure and riches.
Soon, Satan found his mark, an old homeless man who seem to not have eaten for several days.
"I say my good man, do you happen to know who i am?"..."yes sir"..."it seems you need something to eat, what would you say if I take you for a hot meal at a restaurant of your choice?" The man answered, "I will be much obliged sir"..."But first you have to renounce god and worship me" The man slowly stood up and walked away. "Wait!, do you see those fine ladies in the corner, i can give them all to you in an instant!" the man kept walking. "Stop! I will give you all the riches in the world, i will make you the most powerful man in he world, all i ask is that you worship me!" the man just shook his head and moved on. Outraged, satan hurled a ball of fire and struck down the man."whats the matter with you? look at your miserable life, you are living in a rut. what has god ever do for you?"
With his last few remaining breath, the old man replied, "Sir, everything you were willing to give me, i once had. In my time of plenty
I forgot to acknowledge my god for everything he has gave me. Now that he has taken everything away I am more close to him than ever. All this suffering that i am experiencing right now i have gladly accepted if only to atone for my sins. So, there is nothing you can give or do to me that will make me renounce my God."
God took so much pity on the man that he personally went down on earth to fetch the man, body and soul and brought him to paradise with him.

| Shadow of Your Smile |

The shadow of your smile
when you are gone
will color all my dreams
and light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
all the lovely things you are you are to me!
Our wistful little star
was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
and so did I
Now, when I remember spring,
all the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering,
the shadow of your smile!

| Walk In Love |

Walk in love
A sandy beach, we're barefoot
We walk in love
A time and place so sacred
Only lovers see
the magic we can be
We came...we saw...we fell in love
Two birds as one above
No need to conquer love
Talking hands
We walk in silence but we have talking hands
They speak of feelings like our words could never do
My love, I shine for you
We came...we saw...we fell in love
Two birds as one above
No need to conquer love
Laugh to laugh
We take our clothes off
Moonlit to love to love
We spread the blanket, lie down rising with the waves
And falling like a star
We came...we saw...we fell in love
Two birds as one above
No need to conquer love

| Whispering Waves |

By the shore of the sea searching for her memory
Sifting sand through my hand weighing what she means to me
In the early morning haze seagulls seem to cry my pain
And ocean feels it too sighs her name on whispering waves
Wrote her name next to mine big and deep there in the sand
Till the earth tends to flow and our names will be drowned
All the birds sing harmonies to the top line of the breeze
While the ocean breathes her name on whispering waves
There's a bistro where we would dine each evening
Candle light and california wine
Love is holding hands across the table
I still go past each night
Look for her car outside
At the foot of this cliff we spent days weaving our dreams
Making plans building homes raising kids and coloring scenes
Then one morning she was gone and our story reached an end
But her words still linger on on whispering waves

| Just Another Memory... |

A memory
That's all I have left, Just a mem'ry
And I'm thinking of how to pretend
To tell myself
That it's all in the past
And in time it will mend
Those good times
I always got them there through the bad times
And I never have cause to pretend
That the joys and the pain were so real
Counting those years were like days so it seems
And it came flashing as If they were all dreams
And slowly,
I come face to face with the memory
Conversations that never will end without tears
The night turn to dawn
But Whatever I do
My life was still full
Of YOU...

Soflty
I will leave you, Softly
For my heart will break
If you should wake and see me go
For I'll leave you...
Soflty
Long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour
Or one more day...
After all the years
After all the tears will fall
So softly
I will leave you there
I will leave you there

Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to know
And so I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no stars to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way
And after a day
The darkness will find me
Then maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrows
Beg, steal, or borrow
My share of laughter
With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away

| I Can't Cry Hard Enough |

_________________________________________________
I'm going to live my life
Like every day's my last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now
I'm going to open my eyes
And see for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite
There it goes up in the sky
There it goes beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now
I'm going to look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is just an empty chair
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Thanks for the memories...

Dear Friend,
Often times I have taken you for granted. Somehow I assumed that you will always be there. I should have taken good care of the friendship you have offered me. I hope its not too late. Let me be there for you as you had been with me through my trials and tribulations.
Friend, I just want to let you know that...
You and me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
When all the others turn their back and walk away
You can count on me to stay
Remember when the circus came to town
And you were frightened by the clown?
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew?
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for...
You and me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
And for all the times we've cried I always felt that The odds were on our side
And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
Of you and me against the world
I LOVE YOU FRIEND
