Deep in a wretched chasm of despair
Struggling, struggling to get out
Out of there
Fallen down a well of no repair
Intimidating, dark down there.
Feel the walls
Feel their strength
They’ll help you climb back up
Into a life of freedom
Happiness, no despair.
Don’t dwell way down
Way down there
In that chasm, that well
Filled with hell
Way down there.
Bring yourself up, out
Feel the rays spreading out
Warming, bringing joy
Happiness all about
No pain.
No heartache there about
As we bask in the warmth
Of the sun, knowing
We’ll never fall back down
into that dark chasm
We’ll never, ever fall
ever at all.

Many the border cross
Up to the promised land
Where joy
Wonder are lost.
No one is forsaken
Only lost in a world
Of no glory, sadness
Broken hearts.
Turn around
Turn back
The world you live in
Is not the one lost.
Only your way
That’s the thing
Lost.

Mist rises from a land
Wet with prosperity
Vibrant green leads the way
On a day full
Of joy and loyalty.
This is my day all the way
Nothing will stop me
From being that person
The land, wind and rain
Will make me.
Mist rises and I see
What I need in a land vibrant
Filled with prosperity
This will lead me
Complete me, making me that
What I need to be.

Love is essential
Love is everything
Love will bring
Joy and laughter
And things
That sadness
Can never sing.
Love is essential
Love is everything

My journey here may
Soon be done
But all the joy and happiness
Filled with love will live
Will live forever on.
I won’t forget you
Have no regrets
For I have loved
And you were the one.
Honesty, devotion
Are just a few
Of the emotions
I have towards you.
No harshness did I feel
Only love in this life
This life I shared
And lived with you.
So on your journey
You must go
And let it be known
By your side
I’ll be forever, ever more.

Once more I write 2013. Still strange and scary in some way.
Gone, lost, done is the 2012 year.
Whatever I had wanted to accomplish in that year
I did – or – I didn’t.
It has ended now and I can’t change one bit of it.
Regrets? Yes.
Devastating? Most certainly.
Truly heart-warming? Yes, and much more.
Now I must move on, make this new year the best that I can.
Will I have setbacks and heartache?
Most likely.
But I know I will also have experiences that will take me to the top.
Joy, happiness, success and most of all, love.
This I know because I will make it so.
This is my plan. My resolution for this new year.
Come join me, make it your best year yet. Filled with happiness, love and those wonderful experiences that will carry you thru any dark days that do occur.
And be assured, they will happen.
But change that negative, find something positive in even those dark moments.
Make the world a better place because you were here and chose to do so.
Shall we start?

The season is full
Of joy and revelry.
A joyous occasion
To see and be
Kind, compassionate
And full of sympathy.
Yes, this is the season
To be the best me.

I can see the words
They tell me of the time
When hearts were loved
And words all rhymed.
They tell me of the joy
The majesty and triumphant gladness
No casting of badness
No broken bones
Or hearts lost in a world
Filled with madness.
These words they fill the place
With love, beauty, grace
I accept the honour
Bestowed here upon me
Of seeing life with words that
Never conquer
Just for the sake of me.

To cry is human.
It shows you care.
To laugh is human.
It shows you have joy.
To anger is human.
It shows you feel.
To remember is human.
It shows you have been.
To die is human.
It shows you have lived.

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.
