Something About You There is something about you that reminds me of me, Something so sad, yet tender you see. Sometimes a catch in your voice that I hear That makes me want to hold you so near. There is something about you that makes me strong, And makes me believe I can't do wrong Sometimes a look, a glance my way; That says I can do anything I say. There is something about you that makes me know That you'll be my friend where ever we go. That tells me that you are the one who understands; With a drop of my head or the touch of your hand. There is something about you that someone will see And notice the things that led you to me. The sweetness, the kindness, The grace of your charm; The goodness you use to keep others from harm. Yes, there's something about you that allows you to breathe in a breath that is gentle and soft as a breeze. There is something about you that touched my soul. And with out I will never again be whole. There's something about you! Original Poem Kathalise Martin Feb. 9th, 2000 Dedicated to ali Just a Little Lamp It's just a little lamp something to see by night but it's so important to me, cause it lights up my life. It's just a simple gift an unexpected box, but what it holds inside it's flame, really means a lot. It's just a little lamp 'tis pink and brass you see, but the light that comes behind it, means the world to me. It sits here on my desk as pretty as can be, it's small and fragile, very frail like what it means to me. It's just a little lamp most people would agree but it came wrapped in love sent from you to me. I'ts just a little lamp nothing to be seen but what I feel inside my heart, shines from sea to sea. I hum as I turn it on " This little light of mine" Cause like the friendship that it holds, forever it will shine. Kathalise Martin March 16th 2000 Dedicated to ali Where did I put me? Where did I put me the day you left; Am I sitting here dusty on a shelf? Where did my mind go that afternoon, when I found you not in your room? Where did my heart hide When I lost you that day. It's hidden so well Can't find it; no way. Where did my soul go as I had to realize; never again would I look in your eyes. Where did I put me when you never came home I thought I was here but find that I'm gone. So where do I look for me and you Where do I go? What do I do? Where will they put me if you never come back someone please dust me It's Soul that I lack. For Ali On Ty's 17th Birthday Kathalise
