Sometimes I let it go
Sometimes I don’t give it a second thought.
Sometimes I wonder what happened?
What changed your mind and erased your loving heart?
Once I was all you knew
No one else you gave a second thought.
Now indifference clouds the view
Sarcasm is the voice heard a lot
No more gentle caress, no more loving thoughts.
Didn’t happen over night
It seeped in thru empty, shallow thoughts
Taking a awful tole on our gentle, loving hearts.
Sometime turn around look back down your path
See me standing all alone, looking back.
Loving as much as I did then
In the gentle, loving days
Before the empty, shallow thoughts.

Gentle kindness
Softly touching you
Caressing, soothing wounds
So deep
And pushing wrongs
The other way.
No regret nor remorse
None have come to play
Just loving thoughts
Holding you
In a place of kindness
Each and everyday.

St. Paddy’s Day
A custom from a land far away
Brought here by those coming
To make a new life in a new land
But bringing too a piece of the old homeland.
St. Paddy’s Day
Isn’t it grand to celebrate it
Across the world, across the land.

Yes, I am
I am whatever you thought
I am here
I am happy
I am doing my best
I am in love with the greatness of life
I am
Yes, I am.

Snow blows a crisp cold white
Deafening on this spring morning night
Flying by with a unrepentive no melting cry
Once again covering all going deep down inside.
Some will die in this cold white mess
As snow hungers to hold a grip
Til no life stirs beneath its icy depth
Breeding death, anger and remorse
Snow blows, snow blows
Making life full of needless stress.

Optimistic with the present
Couldn’t have foretold the past
But getting by it all together
At last, at last.
The calendar tells the date
The clock tells the time
My heart knows it ain’t
The day nor time that’ll get me
To that perfect present spot
In my time.

Chances are chances
Be the reason
We flee chances seen
Chances are chances.
Chances are chances
Don’t just exist
But take your chances
Believe
Make them chances
To living
Not only to exist
Chances are chances.

Seek the answer
Letting it envelop you
In a place
Warm and sweet
Close your eyes
See
Exactly what you need
Spread out your fingers
Feel
And touch the answer
The answer that you seek

Eventually
All will come to an end
Eventually
All the steel girders will bend
Eventually
Every season will thrive and die
Eventually
The answers you sought will make you cry
Eventually
The happiness foretold you won’t deny
Eventually
All will be all you have
Eventually.
