You have the answer
You have the way
To bring joy and happiness
Into this world
Making a better place
Now and everyday.
No words of commitment
No promises uttered
In any way
Just moving forward
Taking each and every step
Accomplishing a better day.

Can I
feel, see
the end coming
or
what was
my beginning?
Can I
live in reality
being happy
or just
whining, complaining
full of misery?
No answers come
Cause
I’ve already made
the decision
to live my life
as
best I can
can be.

Gone are the times
I used to know
fell
like leaves
in the fall.
Memories only
nothing
at all
of this time I’m living
living right now.

Holy be excited
I see the world
Turn
Giving answers
To
Questions
That were
To me
Such a concern.

Sometimes
Sometimes you want
someone
to notice, to see
to
celebrate you.
Sometimes
Sometimes you don’t care
But
Sometimes
Sometimes you do.

Dead leaves fall
Blowing
In the breeze
Falling to the grass
Floating
In the stream.
Dead leaves fall
Gathering
On the deck
And
Beneath barren trees.
Dead leaves fall
While children
Laugh
As they frolic in those
Now dead leaves.
That fell
That
Fall.

Slowly
I head for the open gate
the door is
open
I must not wait.
Time will come
I’ll be gone
then
someone else
will guide you thru
that
open gate.
Safe, secure
you will follow me
into
what becomes
our true destiny.

My heart is ready
my mind has seen
all the glory
that’s
in the world
That
some have yet
to experience, to be part of
for them
unseen
Come join me
come see when you’re ready
the earth, the world
in
it’s magnificence
That’s
around you
all around you
to be
seen.

No more can I be
someone needing you
or
all those things
I’ve been
you thought I was
I needed
I wanted to be.
Now
I’ll change
I’ll stand on my own
I’ll be
I’ll say those things
that must be said
so
needed to be true.

I must
reach for the best
I must
know that tenderness
will bring joy and happiness
I must
make my world turn
with kindness, not hate
I must
I must seek
search, participate.
