Home is heart, heart is home
Speak softly
Let no one feel alone
Be together
Whether near or far apart
Act according
To the followings of your heart.

Home is heart, heart is home
Speak softly
Let no one feel alone

Whether near or far apart
Act according

I have found
The world’s round
How profound
Thought it was flat
I’d be falling off the edge
Holding on, grasping
Dangling
That’s what I thought
Then I walked
I walked and walked
Coming back round
To where I found
The start
Never falling off
No, I made it back
Cause the worlds’ round
It isn’t flat
And that is that.

My heart does sing
A song so pretty
Blossoms bloom
Grass grows
And
Birds sing
For the song
Sung
Doesn’t weep
but reaches, holds up with strength
All that’s needed
To keep the earth whole
Skies blue
Stars shining
And
Waters running
For they too
Sing
Such a lovely song
Of grace, beauty
And
Sincere gratitude.

A thought comes
Then it goes
Back from where it came
That place
No one knows.
It’s filled with many thoughts
That if I hold, they’d grow
Into vast extravagances
Never thought before
Never told.
Oh yes, a thought comes
Then it goes
Back from where it came
That mysterious place
No one’s been
No one knows.

Nothing to say, not today
No one comes, no one says
Anything relevant or astute
But then
I look outside and see
The world in all it’s beauty
Snow drifting by
Trees standing proud
Birds flying round
That’s when I realize
There’s nothing more to say
It’s already said
I just need to sit back
Enjoy this spectacular scene
This journey, this ride
I’m lost for words
My heart does sigh
It sees all, it seems.
