Have I been helpful, have I’ve been the best?
Looking back upon the year
What would I change, what would I let rest?
No time to dwell, no time for remorse
For I must move forward, look ahead
To the year yet to unfold
And
Anticipate it to be full of wonders
Yet to be told.

Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.
No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.
Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.

May the sun shine bright
On the season
May joy and happiness
Be yours tonight.
May your heart be filled
With all things glorious
May you feel love
Tonight.

You haven’t been there
And I haven’t seen
All the wonders
In the world
All
That has been.
But
Tomorrow we’ll go
Locked arm in arm
Down the path of wonder
Into tomorrow
Feeling
Seeing no harm.

The path is varied
The trail travelled a lot
My thoughts are hurried
Stepping on this path
I’ve got.
Where will it lead
On what road will I pass
people I know
Those whose friendship
And love will or won’t last.
All questions and answers
I find on this road
Travelled
Will last, last forever
Forever last.

I don’t know
Nor will I be
Entrenched in anything
Filled with misery
I won’t call
Weep or wail
Sad words
They won’t prevail.
Marching on
Marching forward
Taking positive
Shielding my soul
From all
Nothing more
Than
A coward.
See that light
Feel it fill the sky
Warm my heart
Pour radiance
Throughout the world
Bring glad tears
Healing
To my eyes.

You are my sunshine
My reason for living
With every breath I take
My mind breathes you in
My thoughts go to the times
We had together
When I nestled in your embrace
The world was right
And we were not apart
But there
There together.
