SING ME A SONG








SING ME A SONG
Sing me a song.
Write me a melody.
Of times gone by
And moments lost in time.

Stroke the keys.
Massage the ivories.
Raise your voice high
Until all can hear your words.

Words of hope and loss.
Sing them loud and clear.
Stories of far away places
And times long gone.

I close my eyes.
I can still hear your words.
I can see your fingers
Stroking the keys so softly.

The words have taken flight.
They reverberate through time.
They have left your lips
To land in my heart.

A sweet melody
To soothe my advancing years.
A pretty song
To fill my empty heart.

GO TO THE LIGHT

When did life become so serious?
When did darkness begin to take over the light?
Some days feel like long dark journeys
leading to only more despair and darkness.
I want those happy days of youth,
where each day brought with it
new hopes for a bright future.
It’s time for me to change my perspective
on life and begin each day anew.
Happy thoughts create happy people.
Pull back the shades and let the
sunlight back into our lives.
We will be much happier and healthier.

ALL OF US STARTED OUT SMALL & INNOCENT


























We were small at the beginning.
We were innocent and trusting.
Too bad we had to grow up.
Too bad we lost our trust in humanity.
It's never too late for us.
