The past is gone
You must this learn
It won’t come back
But still you yearn
For things that once
Just might have been
Are lost in time
And goes unseen
They were the best
I hear you say
As in those days
You’d danced and played
But look at now
And all you’ve got
Though you tell me
You’d swap the lot
To go back to your past

The Sound of Raindrops

I love the sound of raindrops

For they wash away my cares

Each little drop of water

Brings escape from all my fears

They travel such a long way

To dance upon my scene

A gift that’s from the heavens

A part of natures dream

They are gathered from the corners

Of an earth so far and wide

So no matter where you wander

From them you cannot hide

But then again why would you

For surely you can see

God gave us these sweet raindrops

To set are spirits free.
