			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are’t you glad<br />
So much to do<br />
So much to buy<br />
Shops are filled and<br />
The christmas lights are on.</p>
<p>The house is full of food<br />
Every cupbroad is packed with presents.<br />
Christmas cards everywhere<br />
Snow outside, crisp and cold<br />
It is warm in here with the fire on<br />
Waiting for the family to arrive</p>
<p>But there is someone missing<br />
Someone special, someone important<br />
Can’t find him  anywhere<br />
It would be so sad to not have him<br />
There is so many people who don’t have him<br />
But he is in my heart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Standing still here, is all i can do<br />
I am worn out and ready to give up<br />
The road has been long and hard<br />
I have failed you and let you down<br />
Done my own thing and mess up.</p>
<p>I try to do what i can to please you<br />
I work hard and obey your word<br />
But we aren’t connecting<br />
Where are you, i need to feel your touch<br />
Please tell me what to do</p>
<p>As i stand here, with nothing else to give<br />
You take both my hands and just look into my heart<br />
Your gentle eyes of love are on me<br />
You hold me and we start to dance<br />
Then you whisper to me how much you love me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You see a child<br />
I am an adult,<br />
You see a cabbage<br />
I am human,<br />
You think I’m slow<br />
I have a brain,<br />
You see nothing<br />
I see a full life,<br />
You want to protect me<br />
I’m going to take risks,<br />
You want to hide problems<br />
I will live with them,<br />
You wont tell me the truth<br />
I will cope with the truth,<br />
You say don’t worry<br />
Come down to earth,<br />
You want to look after me<br />
I can look after myself.<br />
You feel sorry for me<br />
I feel sorry for you…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You just don’t get it do you<br />
You are listening to me<br />
But not hearing what I am saying<br />
I am hurting but you are somewhere else<br />
I love you to bits, but you cant feel my pain.</p>
<p>This depression is to much for me to bear<br />
I need you to understand how I feel<br />
No, nothing is going in, so why do I bother<br />
You need to make it better, to fix it<br />
There is nothing you can do, but to be there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flowers in the house<br />
Flowers in the garden<br />
Flowers  everywhere<br />
They are all colours<br />
Just for you and me</p>
<p>Some have smells<br />
Some are just pretty<br />
Green leaves surround them<br />
Protecting them all day long<br />
The sun shine on them<br />
The rain feeds them</p>
<p>Flowers are here to stay<br />
Growing for you and me<br />
A gift from God<br />
To show us how much He love us<br />
Flowers are special, just like you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why did you die on that cross<br />
Go through all that pain and heartache<br />
People beat you and whipped you<br />
A crown of thorns was put on your head<br />
Why did you do this, why Jesus.<br />
Yours eyes filled with love<br />
I will never fully understand<br />
Why did you, all this for me.<br />
Just me, I am nothing just me<br />
You loved me so much you die on that cross</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring is here, buds are on me<br />
Feel the warm sunshine on me as I grow.<br />
Everything is coming alive<br />
Summer is here, it is getting hot<br />
I can see for miles, people are having fun.<br />
Please can someone water me<br />
Autumn is here, l am changing colour<br />
Red, Yellow Brown and Orange<br />
My leaves will be falling off soon<br />
Winter is here, cold and ice on me<br />
Snow will fall on me, not before to long<br />
I stand and wait until spring is here</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are all I have<br />
I don’t feel you or like you<br />
But I know you are there<br />
You guide me through the darkness<br />
You are the only who keeps me alive<br />
The pain is to great to feel you<br />
I can’t let you in, but you are waiting by my side<br />
Waiting for me to let you in<br />
You will not let me go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At your feet I sit and weep<br />
Numb and hurting with nothing to bring<br />
I have failed you, a thousand times<br />
Turn my back on you, when you held me close<br />
Gone my own way and done my own thing</p>
<p>No more can l take in this world<br />
Everyone has given up on me and its dark<br />
You just put your arms around me and look into my heart<br />
As l climb on your knee, you hold me<br />
I fall asleep til morning</p>
