I’ll be the best
I can be.
Nothing
Else matters
Nothing is as important
Important
As
This to me.
Sometimes
I get lost
Sometimes I lose my way
Then a light
A bright light glows
Leading me on my path
My own sweet way.

I know, you know
We know
Know what you say?
The truth, the way
That’s what I think, I hope
We know today.

Gone are the times once been
Memories only
That’s what I know, I’ve seen.
No more to be
Those moments
Memories
Those times once been.

No one can tell me
What to do
My heart, my mind
My dear
It’s up to you
Whether I listen
Whether it’s the right thing
To do
I don’t know
But
It’s up to me
To do
The best thing
I think I should do.

A deer came by my window
She stopped. looked me in the eye
She flicked her tail, twitched her ear
As she listened for danger near by
Then on down the path she went
No longer seen by me
Disappearing into the woods
On this bright beautiful, sunny day.
A few minutes later as I was off to run
There she lay, mortally injured
Unable to run
She heard my voice, so near, so close
Her tail flicked, her ears twitched
She tried once again to run
But her eyes were closed
Nothing worked and there she lay
Dying slowly, dying
On this bright beautiful, sunny day.
A woman in a big Ram truck
Slowed up just to pass the time of day
Not seeming to notice
A deer dying, on the side of the road
Nor if I had called the police
I had, they came, they put her away

Were you there
Did you see
The beauty, the kindness
And
All giving majesty?
It took my breath away
My eyes could not believe
All that wonder
Right there
There in front of me.
Let me not forget
All this
That I’ve seen.
Hoping you’ve witnessed
Too
This beauty, this kindness
And
All giving majesty.

No way, no where
to be
so travel on
to
somewhere
kind and decent
Make sure you care
that
your heart
is
filled with love
that
there’s no way
no where
else
you’d rather be.

I figure and figure
Try to scheme
The best way to maneuver
All life’s dreams
Sometimes I’m pleased
Sometimes
Not
So much
But
It all boils down
To
What I want the most
Want so much.

May the trees survive winter
Blossom in the spring
Sending forth life
Giving all, nourishing.
May the sun rise in the morning
Rest asleep at night
To come up the next morning
Bringing warmth, love
And fields of waving buttercup delight.
May the seeds dropped in fall
Spring, rise, growing tall
Spreading roots out for nourishment
Leaves reaching up, growing
Til the fall.
May the wind blow breezes
Both strong or gentle
And then not at all.
May they bring on currents
Moisture, rain to quench
The thirst of everyone
Everyone, everything and all.
May, may we live
May we live us all.
