Smile On My Face

I’ve loved and I’ve lost

I’ve learned to survive at all cost

I’ve seen pain and I’ve seen joy

My heart has been used as a toy

I’ve made countless mistakes

I’ve also caused a few heartaches

I’ve been knocked down to the ground

But I’ve always found a way to rebound

I’ve lived my life, the good and the bad

I’ve worked really hard to disguise the sad

I know what it’s like to be let down

I know what it’s like to have your heart shut down

I’ve seen some good and I’ve seen some evil

I’ve seen pain so intense it can cripple

Yet each day I wake up with a smile on my face

Happy to be alive in this crazy place

Beg Or Plea

I remember a time when love was free

When all you ever needed was me

I remember the way you could make me feel

And give my emotions meaning, that was real

I remember the way our lives came together

The way we stood up for something that we knew could be better

I don’t know how we ended up losing our way 

How we have forgotten the right words to say

How we’ve allowed this distance to grow

And neither if us are willing to let it go

I fight for the people we used to be

But those people have abandoned you and me

I’m tired of feeling so lost and alone

I am a strong woman, but my heart is not stone

I deserve to be loved for me

I shouldn’t have to beg or plea

Oilfield Wife

I watch my husband turn and leave
My heart breaks and begins to bleed
He’s off to work to start his hitch
It’s time for me to make the switch
I chose to be an Oilfield wife
This is my path, this is my life
I feel the sadness of my kids
I see the tear on their eyelids
It’s my job to make it okay
It’s what I do while he is away
When he comes home again
We pick back up and life begins
It’s our routine, our way of life
It’s what you do as an Oilfield wife

Smile On My Face

I’ve loved and I’ve lost

I’ve learned to survive at all cost

I’ve seen pain and I’ve seen joy

My heart has been used as a toy

I’ve made countless mistakes

I’ve also caused a few heartaches

I’ve been knocked down to the ground

But I’ve always found a way to rebound

I’ve lived my life, the good and the bad

I’ve worked really hard to disguise the sad

I know what it’s like to be let down

I know what it’s like to have your heart shut down

I’ve seen some good and I’ve seen some evil

I’ve seen pain so intense it can cripple

Yet each day I wake up with a smile on my face

Happy to be alive in this crazy place

Ode to My Daughter

You’re my little girl

With your sweet smile

Your infectious laugh

And crazy sense of style

You brighten my day

By just being you

You light up my life

With the nice things you do

I am so proud

Of who you’ve become

You’re a remarkable person

Full of love, life and then some

I love to watch

You grow everyday

I love to hear

The sweet words you say

No matter how old you get

You will always be my baby

I will always love you

You mean the world to me

Addiction

Your love is my sweetest addiction

It’s my cross, my affliction

It’s the thing I crave the most

The only thing that leaves me exposed

I just can’t get enough

Give me some more of your love

Your sweet kiss upon my lips

It’s my cure, it’s my fix

The way you hold me tight

Is my demon, but there is no fight

You’re like a drug that my body needs

I have a hunger only your love feeds

I don’t need rehab, I don’t want sober

All I want is your love as I grow older

Your love is my only addiction

It is my cross, my affliction

Wake Me Before You Go

Wake me before you go

Give me a kiss nice and slow

Take my love out the door

Keep me in your heart for sure

Tell me how much you love me

Show me so that I can see

That even though you’re gone away

It won’t be long before you return my way

Wake me before you go

With tender kisses nice and slow

Hold me tight one last time

Feel my love in this rhyme

Know that my love is forever

Nothing in this world could ever sever

So I will wait until you return

Keeping you in my heart where my love burns

No Me Without You

The happiest part of me is you

My joy comes from the things you do

I feel whole with you by my side

I no longer feel the need to hide

You showed me a love I’d never known

The kind of love that can be grown

You fought for me even when I gave up

You held me tight when my life blew up

I never knew what I needed until I met you

I didn’t understand it because it was so new

I tried to keep my heart intact

But loving you was not a choice but a fact

Every time I try to walk away

Something inside me compels me to stay

I know the truth of what losing you would do

There would be no me without you

Rollercoaster

Everyone has good days, everyone has bad

Everyone gets angry, everyone gets sad

Life is not meant to be easy and free

It’s a roller coaster, don’t you see

You climb the tracks way up high

Then plunge fast no need for a sigh

You turn right, then suddenly left

It shakes you up and steals you with it’s theft

It’s not meant to be a smooth ride

This is not a playground, it’s not a slide

So saddle up, get ready to go

Life is waiting to give you a show

My World

We have made it through a lot

Since the day we tied the knot

We have endured pain and joy

We have overcome what should destroy

We have held on when things are rough

We have pulled through when things got tough

We always find a way to come through the other end

No scar is too deep that we can not mend

You have been my world since that first day

The man that I love in every way

My gave you my heart, my loyalty and soul

You are the only thing that makes me whole

I won’t ever stop fighting for our love

Not until the day I am called home above

Fight

Relationships will have their ups and downs

They are called tests, you must stand your ground

There will always be an easier way out

But taking it will be a mistake no doubt

Nothing worth having should ever come easy

You have to put in the effort, love is not breezy

Sometimes if you learn to stick together

You find there is no storm that you can not weather

Relationships aren’t always bright

Everyone disagrees, we all fight

Don’t ever lay your arms down

Don’t give up the fight, don’t ever drown

All I Need Is You

I look across the room and I see your face

My knees get weak, my heart begins to race

I look at your handsomeness for a while

Years of memories flood me with just one smile

As you move towards me, my body fills with heat

I love this feeling, let’s put it on repeat

After all these years I still get weak

After all these years it’s still you that I seek

No one has ever affected me this way

This hungry need for you I have each day

I never want that feeling to end

That’s a loss that i could not mend

Decision

I wish I could make my head and my heart agree

But neither one of them are listening to me

My head is responding to the pain

Anger is it’s way to explain

My heart sees things very differently

It still loves you completely

My head is competing all the way to the end

It doesn’t want to give up, it wants to win

My heart is holding on with all it’s might

Clutching at all the things that make us right

Which one will win, I really don’t know

My heart says stay, my head says go

Only Me

I can only be me

And not what you want me to be

I cannot bend

I cannot pretend

I’m enough if only you’d see

I’m just fine being me

I used to think I had to change

Give up who I was in exchange

In order to find a love so true

How stupid I was to think I knew

That’s not what love is all about

It’s not suppossed to leave you full of doubt

Love accepts you for who you are

It doesn’t continually raise the bar

It should never make you feel less than enough

It should never turn your road into one that is rough

A Cure

I wish I had the answers

To heal a broken heart

I wish I had the words

To keep everything from falling apart

I wish I had a plan

To keep this love intact

I wish I could believe the lies

But all I see is the facts

Love can be painful

That we all know

You give up your heart

Expecting love to grow

Sometimes it does 

And life is so sweet

Sometimes it doesn’t

And you’re forced to repeat

The pain will fade

At least I hope

As I find my way,

My way to cope

I’ll never be the same

That I am sure

My heart won’t heal

Until I find a cure
