Gladness

Keep your eyes closed
With all you compose.
Every number is your lucky number
Every day is your lucky day
Every quality is a talent
Every talent you can grant.
If you practice hard enough
Even when it’s tough.

Smile, when the sun will rise
Smile, while the days go by
Smile, in your own style
Smile, every once in a while

Cherish those who you love very much
Keep them close near to your heart
Follow your soul and your inner voice.
Follow the dreams which are your own.

Smile, when the sun will rise
Smile, while the days go by
Smile, in your own style
Smile, every once in a while

Be glad with all you get
Live life with no regrets.
Hold on to the smile that's on your face.
Show that your life is not a waste.
Be true to your soul
Hold on to your goal.
Think about it every day
And everything will come your way.

Smile, when the sun will rise
Smile, while the days go by
Smile, in your own style
Smile, every once in a while

Smile by Charlie Chaplin

Smile
tho' your heart is aching

Smile
even tho' it's breaking

when there are clauds in the sky

you'll get by
if you
smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

you'll see the sun come shining thru for you.

Light up your face with gladness

hide ev'ry trace of sadness

altho' a tear maybe ever so near

that's the time you must keep on trying

Smile
what's the use of crying

you'll find that life is stillworth while

if you'll just smile.

A tribute to Michael Jackson

Destiny we can't control
Sometimes we have to let things go.
Even though it seems so hard
We will never be far apart.
Because in our heart we keep
The ones we loved so deep.
We cherish them every day
Loving those in every way.
Depending on faith
It's never too late.
Just hear the voice
When nature shows..

Peace and may God bless everyone!

'Chanel baby's'

Vooral wanneer het mooi weer is komen ze tevoorschijn,
de 'Chanel-baby's'.
Ik noem ze 'Chanel-baby's' omdat het cijfer op het prijskaartje van hun kleedjes, waarschijnlijk groter is dan de tijd dat ze het kunnen dragen.
Op zich is het wel schattig en lief dat de mama (die er negen kansen op tien hetzelfde uitziet maar dan in een iets meer verrimpelde versie) zo goed voor haar kindje zorgt.
Maar Chanel-mamas, het is niet omdat het op deze leeftijd maatschappelijk niet aanvaardbaar is om nog met poppen te spelen, dat je kinderen daarvoor moeten boeten.
Het laat een baby volledig koud of hij nu de laatste nieuwe Ralph Lauren aanheeft of het laatste stuk, dat bovendien nog in solden was, uit de H&M.
Dat jij als moeder er zo bij wil lopen is jou keuze, maar laat je kleine kind zijn.
Laten we de rollen eens omdraaien..
Over 60 jaren ben jij oud.
En over 60 jaren kan jij misschien niet meer voor jezelf zorgen.
Hmm .. wat als over 60 jaren jou kind net hetzelfde voor jou wil terugdoen, als jij al die jaren voor hem of haar hebt gedaan.
Begint het al te jeuken?
Beeld het je maar gerust in, je zit in je zetel, je kleine (die ondertussen al groot en volwassen is) komt je halen voor een ritje in het park. Een ritje, omdat jij van hem in een rolstoel moet want het is gevaarlijk voor oudere mensen om te stappen.
Beter voorkomen dan genezen, niet ?
Eens daar aangekomen hoef je het niet in jou hoofd te halen om een lekker warme tas chocomelk met slagroom en een warme wafel te bestellen.
Jij moet opletten voor je cholesterol.
Dus.. bestelt jou lief kind een watertje voor je. Want water is goed voor iedereen.
Gaan we nu allemaal eens twee keren nadenken vooraleer we met kinderen beginnen?
Wil je een pop van Sinterklaas of wil je moeder zijn?
Ask yourself..

Koopjes!

Twee keer per jaar gebeurt het.
Mensen, voornamelijk vrouwen, veranderen in een bende op hol geslagen mieren.
Dat is het gevolg van het startschot van de koopjesperiode.
In de winkels zie je meer mensen staan dan er kleren hangen.
Langs alle kanten grijpen een ontelbaar aantal handen naar net dát ene hemdje.

Degene die het beste kan boksen wint de hoofdprijs:
Een overschotje van de collectie van vorig jaar met 30% korting..
Het maakt niet uit of het mooi is of dat het gewoon in je kast zal blijven hangen; deze strijd gaat dieper, het geeft vrouwen hun plaats in de maatschappij ..
Althans, volgens de fashionfreaks ..

Het is een spel waarin egoïsme de sleutel is.
Vriendengroepjes die zich opsplitsen om over meer territorium te beschikken, kickbox-moves worden opnieuw ingestudeerd en de emoties worden thuisgelaten.
Iedereen loopt zoals een kip zonder kop door elkaar met slechts één gedachte:
"Ik wil alles éérst !!!"

Winkeliers zijn genoodzaakt om versterking te vragen.
Uitzendconsulenten kunnen zich daardoor zelfs nog wat extra koopjes permitteren.
Maar zelf zet ik m'n leven liever niet op het spel voor een koopjes-jeans.
Mijn kleerkast is nu eindelijk dichtgeraakt ..

Bling bling stars

I’m sitting here on the ground
With my bills spread around.
I don’t have the money
But guess what my dear honey.
Even when my bank is empty
Life of stars don’t even tempt me.
I don’t wanna be living in that misery.
I don’t get a thing coz I don’t dance around in my string.
All I wanna do, is to make my dreams come true.

Bling-bling stars,
Singing ‘bout how great they are, playing it on their guitar.
Bling-bling stars,
Even with a lot of cash, they still live in so much stress.
Bling-bling stars,
With a life that is so hard, trying not to fall apart
All those bling-bling stars.

Trying every therapy
Hoping to become happy.
But every time they face the truth
Living on a diet with only fruit.
It’s not healthy its no good
I don’t see why they give up food.
Replaced by liquor and by puke
Never heard of the verb called ‘cook’.
They fall into depressions
And they have to follow sessions.
And when the fall is deep
they sell their soul so cheap.

Bling-bling stars,
singing ‘bout how great they are, playing it on their guitar.
Bling-bling stars,
Even with a lot of cash, they still live in so much stress.
Bling-bling stars,
With a life that is so hard, trying not to fall apart,
All those Bling-bling stars.

Their life is lived by others
So they’re sacrificing offers.
When only they could see
How precious life can be.
Not knowing who you are
Brings your mind in an inside war.
The clock will never stop
So upgrade your life to the top.
Only your will can win the fight
And everything shall be all right.

I will be

Left outside
With no place to hide
The days went by
But they kept hurting me
It took all my energy
Why wont they let me be
Just who I am

But now I feel
Something inside me
So strong, so magical
To let me be
The one I am

I’m building a circle
That no one can break
To cover my tears
To take all my fears
Inside my dreams
that control it seems.

So now I feel
Something inside me
So strong, so magical
To let me be,
The one I am

I choose the road
Where my life will go
My future, my choice
Lead by my inner voice
They reach no more
What they were lookin’ for

And now I feel
Something inside me
So strong, so magical
And I can be
Just the one I am

No more running, that chapter’s closed
The pain I felt, is now far lost
Forcing a smile, there on my face
No tears allowed, in my own space
And I will be
Just who I am

The crossroad

Sometimes you get tired of life
You don’t wanna survive
If all hope is gone
And everything goes wrong

Don’t let your thoughts
Drag you down
Don't let your face
Put on a frown

Just pick up your phone
You are not alone
We will talk you through
And get you out of the blue

Don’t let your thoughts
Drag you down
Don't let your face
Put on a frown

Don’t give in to the devil of addiction
When you’ve got no one to blame
Because that feeling is only fiction
Dreams will make you feel the same

Don’t let your thoughts
Drag you down
Don't let your face
Put on a frown

Everyone is blessed with a talent
Everyone needs a friend
So open your eyes and see the blessings
That you will find in the little things

Don’t let your thoughts
Drag you down
Don't let your face
Put on a frown

King of ur life

Step by step and day by day
Everything will come your way
What’s on your mind?
What’s the look on your face?
Life should be peaceful
Not based on a race

Every time you’re in an inside talk
Know that problems are there to walk
Away from you.
Troubles seem not to vanish at all
But that’s one thought that makes you fall

Take one step back and remember one thing
To yourself your life’s greatest king.
What you think of is who you are.
What you wish for is not so far.

Every time you’re in an inside talk
Know that problems are there to walk
Away from you.
Troubles seem not to vanish at all
But that’s one thought that makes you fall.

Only you can turn it all upside down.

Priceless Wish

Every day is a struggle to survive
Every day is a battle to stay alive.
And when no one hears my call
I’m pushed away with by back to the wall.

So I started to pray..
When I don’t hear any noise
Not even my inner voice
Only then my heart can see,
What’s really inside me.

Hoping for someone to say
That I need to start living, from day to day.
I don’t understand, I just don’t get it
Why I can’t find my way.

So I started to pray..
When I don’t hear any noise
Not even my inner voice
Only then my heart can see,
What’s really inside me.

Life should be beautiful in so many ways
But for me its invisible.
At least, that’s what my eyes say.

So I started to pray..
When I don’t hear any noise
Not even my inner voice
Only then my heart can see,
What’s really inside me.

Those are the moments I cherish.
And every time I make a wish
I ask for new eyes and a face that smiles.

So I started to pray..
When I don’t hear any noise
Not even my inner voice
Only then my heart can see,
What’s really inside me.

The Puzzle

Life is a puzzle, that falls into its place
We all can make it, through so many ways
Hold on to your soul, and your inner voice
And then you will see, that it's our own choice

But you’ve gotta listen
And do what is told
Only that way
You’ll get happy old

A puzzle is made, by different parts
Each piece is a chapter, inside our heart
Don’t fix it too quick, coz then you’ll get stuck
Depending on faith, and beginners luck

You’ve gotta listen
And do what is told
Only that way
You’ll get happy old

There are no instructions, for others to follow
But without hope, your life can be hollow
Every moment, can be a new piece
Live life in it’s glory, and don’t ever freeze.

But you’ve gotta listen
And do what is told
Only that way
You’ll get happy old

Look at the picture, that’s on your box
Follow that lead, and your life will rock
Ain’t no better feeling, than dancing through life
All parts of ur puzzle, will give you the drive

But you’ve gotta listen
And do what is told
Only that way
You’ll get happy old

Visions of the past

Visions of the past
flashing by
And I wonder why
We can’t control
The way we’ll go.

Just have faith
Just believe
That we can achieve
Only the best
Life is a fair test.

The visions get blurry
Because of my tears
So I gotta hurry
I don’t have no fears

Because I have faith
Because I believe
That we can achieve
Only the best
Life is just a test

Someone is out there
Someone to take care
Of all of the pain
And vanish the rain

Because I have faith
Because I believe
That we can achieve
Only the best
Life’s just a test

And now I am free
Because I can see
Through every storm
Always stand strong

Just have faith and
Just believe
That we will achieve
Only the best
This life’s only a test

What If ..

What if.. tomorrow won’t come around?
What if.. the daylight won’t make a sound?
What if.. today fades away?
What if.. right now is our last day?
What if.. words couldn’t help us pray?
What if.. actions always have to pay?
What if.. we all give our hand?
What if.. it’s time we all stand?
What if.. we do have a choice?
What if.. we all raise our voice?
What if.. time stands forever still?
What if.. all of the above is real?

Coz..
What if.. ego becomes the worlds best friend?
What if.. there’s no more time left to spent?
What if.. smiles lay at ‘lost and found’?
What if.. no one would come around?

I believe that we have a choice.
We can raise our voice.
We could give a hand.
When at the same time, we all stand.
