If Heaven Had a Phone
by Jonathan

If heaven had a phone,
then I would never be alone.
At the cemetery, I wouldn't cry, moan or groan.

My spirit would fly gently,
as gently as a dove,
to know that it's a call away,
to talk to those above.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd call about my troubles,
just to talk to the ones you miss,
and love it makes your stomach tumble.

If heaven had a phone, from his wisdom,
I would sit in my room on the phone
with the invisible shoulder that I'd cry on.

"If heaven had a phone,"
even though it's fantasy,
I don't need a phone
to call to know that
he is with me.


My World
by Lauren & Lucy

I see the world a different way.
I think a different way.
I feel a different way.
I dream a different way.

I'm lost in a sea of founds.
Hoping for a way to get out.
I learn, I trust, but
They're not the same.

They just can't look past
The real me
All they see
Is the disability

The world is harsh,
I need to find the light.
I haven't met one the same
As me.

I don't see what you do.
I don't know who I really am,
Or was supposed to be.
If you took a walk in my shoes,
You would collapse.
My eyes don't see,
They feel.

But I don't see the world,
It sees me.
