TEARDROPS

DON’T THINK OF ME WITH TEARDROPS
BUT THINK OF ME WITH SMILES
FOR WE MY FRIEND HAVE TRAVELED
OH SO MANY MILES
WE’VE FACED LIFE’S GREAT ADVENTURE
BUT NOW I HAVE TO LEAVE
DON’T THINK OF ME TOO BADLY
NOW YOU’RE LEFT TO GRIEVE
YOU’LL ALWAYS BE MY FAMILY
IN WHATEVER ROLE I PLAY
IT’S JUST THAT AT THIS MOMENT
IT’S GOODBYE FOR TODAY

A Book for Winter

Slowly the night lengthens its stay
As the sweetness of summer just fades away
Gone is the chorus that helped me to wake
Now only the darkness it seems is my fate
So I’ll sit by the fire and take up a book
Which spells out an adventure from the very first look
Were the hero of course will surely be me
As my imagination does slowly break free
The light on each page will just drag me in
While a picture of pretense will quickly begin
The author of course is not on the scene
As I weave out a tapestry of what might have been
How does it end I truly can’t say
But I know on the last page I will get my own way
For all books are written with the reader in mind
Or we just would not buy them I think you might find
Now my eyes they grow heavy as I tire from my day
So I’ll close up my book and put it away
To store up its magic and savour its gift
That hides the thought of winter.

For all those people who need a little lift.

HOPE

WITH HOPE YOU GET THE DAYBREAK
THAT STARTS YOUR WORLD ANEW
IT KISSES ALL THE FLOWERS
WITH SUNLIGHT WARM AND TRUE
IT PAINTS THE CHILDREN’S FACES
AS AROUND AND AROUND THEY PLAY
FOR HOPE IS EVERLASTING
IT STARTS ANEW EACH DAY
SO IF YOU GOT A MOUNTAIN
THAT YOU ALONE MUST CLIMB
WITH HOPE YOU’LL REACH ITS SUMMIT
FOR THAT IS LIFE’S DESIGN

Thought to Ponder – “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”- Neil Gaiman
