Gold and Silver reign
You have sacrificed so much
To stand on the podium
This momentous day.
Power, strength and fortitude
Along with dreams of magnitude
Made come true
The Gold and Silver reign today.
Stars in every way
You have done the work
You’ve earned the right
To hold Gold and Silver
Close to your heart tonight.

– Written for Joe and Dena in hope of helping them with their loss –
Gentle eyes that cry
No more
A powerful heart beats
No more
Caressing a muzzle soft
No more
A courageous soul lost
To soar up to heaven
Not here with me
No more
How I did adore
No more
A life lived in greatness
Now
No more, no more.

Olympic Gold
Gives wealth in all things to behold.
In the journey to compete
The soul finds inside things that are best to keep
Power, strength and fortitude
Unbelievable, bigger than all magnitude
Along with sharing, caring, you will succeed
Receiving Gold
Either on the hill or in all that you seek.
That’s a winning goal nothing less than
Olympic Gold.

Struggling, churning round
Don’t know where there is safe ground.
Grasping, holding tight
Fighting to see some kind of light.
Struggling
Struggling, churning round.

Snow falling down as we once again sing
That snow falling song.
It goes on and on
No end to the cold winter song
All about more snow falling
Coming down.
We’d sacrifice to have no more ice
Oh God, that would be nice!
Or freezing rain clogging
Icing over the runoff drain.
Think we’ve had enough
But that’s not up to us
So better grab a snow shovel
Clear the winter rubble
Singing the never ending
Snow falling song.

Lost in thoughts of blooms in spring
Wishing, hoping soon will be spring
Not sad to let winter go
So glad to be getting pass the cold.
The blooms in spring are what
I’m waiting, wishing for
While here, in the depths
Of frigid, winter cold and snow.

Sitting here thinking
About what my day may be all about
Hoping for no pressure, just fun, laughter
You know what thats about.
Hoping my heart will grow with love
While my sorrows just ebb away
No tremendous thud
Yes, I could learn to love
What that is all about.
Just sitting here thinking
Thinking what my day
Is going to be all about.

Why didn’t I think
This five minutes ago?
Maybe then I’d be standing
On the threshold all dressed in gold
Instead of shivering
Sinking in this wretched hole.
Didn’t think
This is how it would go
Just didn’t think
Five minutes ago.

So what is it that’s so important?
What makes you strive to be the one you want to be?
The one you need to be?
Is your goal, your need empty?
Or do you fill it with promise?
Does it matter?
Your goal, your life needs to be
It is important
It does matter
It is not empty but filled to the brim with promise
Must be strived for
You can be the one you need to be.
That is important.

I’m not the girl
I use to be
Time has passed
All that now is history.
Gladness, sadness
Whatever used to be
Carries me thru
On to my destiny.
