Give me strength
Power and might
To do what
in my heart
I know is right.
No sacrifice
Is too great
When in the end
I’ve done the things
I know are right.
Pain and anguish
May be mine
But if my heart
Turns sad to love
Then it’s right.
So please
Give me strength
Power and might
To do that which
In my heart
I know is right.

I feel the words
There filling
Filling up my heart.

Strong and loyal seeking in you tonight
Power and beauty found deep inside you alright
No matter the climate or beat of the heart
Magnificence reigns here and is part
Of all wonders found there in your heart.
What have you seen?
Who do you know?
Nothing it seems depends on this now
All that matters, transgresses or bestows
Is felt on the matter here before
Rising up welding courage and lo
Strong and loyal are still seeking below.

This is a time
When sadness is ashamed
We did not fulfill
All the promises that needed be.
Nothing has gotten done
Nothing, empty, hollow
Reaches out begins to swallow
All my heart wants for tomorrow.
Nothing left, just empty sadness
Weighing heavy on my chest.

Cheerful, smile
See life full.
Laughter, kindness
Make it well rounded
Not only full.
Step forward
Embrace the heart felt
Honour you can bestow.
Take it in
And let it go.
Out to the world
Beautiful, marvellous
Bringing us together
Completed, full.

Dedicated to Sue, who has lost her beloved horse, Yorkie.
Our thoughts are with you.
I close my eyes just to feel my heart
Feel the pain
Please make it to depart
Lost to all never more to be
The call I loved and adored from thee.
Feel the sadness reign
Beginning down the path
Of no gladness, ecstasy
Only sadden, weeping pain.
You have gone, lost to me
Remorse is not the word
I need or want to see
Tears once of joy shattered
Left, gone no more to employ
Only rivers long, tragic and so deep
Flowing with overwhelming sadness
Do they weep.
Brought down to my knees
Blows of anguish
Anger
Morose disbelief.
Truly thought you’d live forever
Now know is never going to be
Love you ever
Ever please believe
Wanted never
You to leave me never
Ever leave me never please.
Now gone I oh so weep
I steep my heart in sorrow
Feel your presence and
Tomorrow I’ll close my eyes
Just to feel my heart
As it bleeds and weeps.

Love unfolds and let it be
Crushing sadness and lonely
Rising high
My heart love does
Soaring over all that thuds.
Trumpeting songs of loving joy
Smiling happy is employed.
Caressing kindness
The optimistic kind
For all love
Is always blind.

I am the one
Who knows me best.
I am the one
I must trust to be the best.
I am the one for me to love.
I am the one
To fill my heart
With nothing but the best.
I am the one who knows.
I am the one.

I struggle here today
In a deep and dark moody way
Anger wells up within
Stepping on a smiling grin
Bringing frustration to the fore
Please go away
Be here never, no more.
Nothing more to say
Try to shift my mood away
From darkness, anger
And all that stuff
To where the sun shines
Clear, oh so bright
And I can be an endearing part
Of whatever hits my aching heart.

My mind does wander
My mind does see
Glories
In all their splendour
From here to eternity
Revel in their existence
Marvel that they be.
Yes, my mind does wander
My mind does see
Beauty all around
Beauty for all to see
Beauty in my heart
Beauty
Caressing me.
