Philip, James & David Todd

Parting Friendships

Who can know the distance

When we are far apart

We can’t measure it in miles

For that’s not the way to start

Its measured in the moments

When we bathe within a smile

Or the sound of someone laughter

That’s delivered with such style

It’s gauged in times of trouble

When cuddles say take care

Remember me my friend

Even when I am not there

For the distance is a time thing

In which we cannot say

When our paths will join

Now we’ve gone upon our way

In Search of a Crock of Gold

I live beneath a rainbow
That visits during rain
The colours of my being
In the sky above do frame
I have no start or ending
And seldom touch the ground
But I spread a kind of magic
Though my treasures are rarely found
I’m always here around you
In everything you view
A gift from mother nature
From her, to me, to you
A fool may think me golden
Or silver like the moon
And chase around forever
To claim my prize so true
But they have missed the answer
Which God has made so clear
A crock of gold is treasure
But life itself more dear

Leprechauns
Someone said they’d seen one
But surely that’s not true
I’ve covered the whole of Ireland
But none came into view
I’ve chased the ends of rainbows
To find their pot of gold
But now I’ve got to thinking
There’s no truth in what’s been told
Where are these little people
Just where do they reside
And why can I not find one
Do they really have to hide?
It’s not as if I’d harm them
For surely they can see
Our sizes aren’t much different
Those leprechauns and me

Thought to Ponder – Hate is like acid. It can damage the vessel in which it is stored as well as destroy the object on which it is poured. – Ann Landers
