Joyous light following us tonight
Lighting all we need to know
On this dark passage that we go.
Guiding light we see tonight
Shows us the way
To a bright and glorious day.
Joyous, guiding light
Illuminating our way
Tonight.

We are changing
Where we are.
We don’t see
What we’ve done.
We don’t belong
Where we need to be.
We are masking
Conceit with happy.
We are changing
Fortunately.

Suddenly
The heart goes to a place
Where there is
No end.
Suddenly
Unexpectedly
Not only when you think it should
It bends
Dipping low
Pouring out love all aglow.
Suddenly
The heart goes
Where hearts go
And bend.

Hold out to help those that need
Including you if you please
Follow the path to the road
Journey on
On adventures still untold.
Don’t look back, look straight ahead
Glance to the left, look to the right
Keeping your focus on that bright, glowing light
There ahead
Showing you your own true life.

Three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.
I Feel the sadness and the pain
Just like it was yesterday.
He stayed with us a little longer
Not for himself, but to help make us stronger,
To be able to accept that final day.
Three years ago tomorrow,
When Monty died today.
To cherish and remember
All that was good and dear.
About Monty,
who three years ago tomorrow
Died today.
The last day of February,
The 29th to be exact
Which tomorrow isn’t there
So, three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.

Thunder crashes hearts aflame in anger
Love
All things no one can blame
No answers right
Nor all wrong found tonight
Only thoughts a hunger for those
Roaming a tortured mind
Late in this cold, dark night.

Cold and white
Blowing blizzard on this night.
Blaze aflame with no aim
To be the one who warms your heart
Frozen by drifting, deadly white.

Sitting down to write my life
Hear it flow from start
Thru heartache, pressures
And some strife
Coming out full of joy
Learning, seeing warmth glow
Radiating with sweet love.
Can this, could this be my life?

Anchors surrounding me
Pulling down
Into depths of destiny
Weighed by happenings
I have no way of breaking free
Destiny
Destiny is pulling me.

Focus on falling snow
Dropping, falling, drifting
Blow.
Filling cracks in heart and soul
Holding softly footsteps
Traced in falling white.
Moving with
No cares in sight
Blanketed in soften, drifting white.
