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 our spirits free.
Superficial Smile
You take and make life easy
With your superficial smile
Your hands out stretched for grasping
For you won’t be denied
But what about some payback
I really think it’s due
You gave a little thought now
On what you have to do
To try and make amends now
For all that you have been
One of life’s true takers
Your ways have been obscene
For gifts are meant for sharing
With everyone you meet
For when you give with loving
Your life becomes complete.
Spirit Chatter
The voices had no fanfare
In fact they sounded plain
Whispering some nonsense
That I could not explain
It’s hard to quite remember
Just when this all began
Perhaps I should not listen
For I am just a man
For they are very noisy
And wake me from my sleep
As I push away their chatter
When evening shadows creep
They never speak with malice
In fact they are quite kind
But they demand such answers
That I know I’ll never find
I have no heart to chase them
Or say please go away
For they are only spirits
Who come to me to say
We’re glad that you can hear us
And that you give us time
To talk about those loved ones
We had to leave behind
