New Hope ( dedicated to Beth, an amazing woman )

I wrote this in 2009

New Hope

the world has so many problems
we are the group to do some good
it requires more than one person
a leader to guide us
brought to help us serve
showing us the way through simple acts
charity the quality instilled within
determination, hardwork, and kindness emerge

much character built up
it's not about the amount of work,
but the love and joy it brings
people are volunteers of our society
paid nothing, no fame or glory
you get the "good" feeling as if it was
a warm spring day

the environment needs our care
the nameless need our compassion
the hurting need our support
the addicted need our grace
but everyone needs love

Beth, our fearless leader
she has many "children" to empower
the world has a lot of people
no one, so diligent, kind and hardworking as she
planning and fussing so we
may bond together
one person doing so much, a once in a lifetime
personality
oppurtunites given, memories made
money raised, a trip taken
teaching us to help the world
North Carolina, New Mexico

Mississippi, Washington D.C, all hold great memories
many lessons learned over the years
friendships made duribg our years stick
R.P.M.S the one thing that made our life complete
took us to places we never thought possible
challenged us to look past ourselves and
dig into our glass hearts
you can look through to the other side, vain and
shallow were we
she taught us to look past our exteriors, defy
stereotypes and to serve others
Beth is an inspiration  to everyone who meets her

An amazing dancer and human Gizella Cruz wrote this one. It is another interpertation of the one above.

isn't there something
wrong in a world
that has so many problems such as these
   too bad- no one can get along
   or even try, to love each other

It's not really about where you end
But more about
               how you get there
      'cause where you end up could be pointless
if you lost yourself, getting there
   you concentrate on the glory
   worry-about what others think of you
    But what is important to you 
    you probably don't know anymore

* the harmless need our care
   the nameless need our compassion
   the hurting need our support
   so give it all you got
   the addicted need our grace
   But everyone needs our love
ooh-needs love, needs love *

  Don't you know someone
that can help us
            live in peace?

The moments we remember the most
         are the ones we share with friend
          tied in  together
              let's move forward

Can't you see our hearts
it's made out of glass
I want to reflect you
  to show you my love
But please don't crack it
Like you've cracked thd rest of the world

Please always see
