Good news glad
Right there with
Bad news sad
Doesn’t matter cause
It’s the news you have.
Read it, write it
Say it loud
Bad news sad and
Good news glad.
Spread the word
Take it where you have
Good news glad along
With bad news sad.
That’s right
That’s all
That’s all
You have.

Knowing most what is best
Then we can securely rest
Proud we are, there we be
In all our glory set ourselves free.
You can go
I will stay
Dance to life
In my own funny way.

There goes the answer
Down the drain with the master
Strength to pull them out
Strength to know what it’s all about.
Not now, not now
Don’t falter
Don’t stumble
Keep your wits about.
The answer goes and speaks
Giving strength
To those who climb up
And get out.
That’s what the answer is all about.

Perish the thought
I must not get lost. Regroup and survive
I am alive.

Sadness comes
and goes
Strive to feel
The pain
Then let it go.
No use to dwell
And ponder
Just see it
And let it go.
It makes you
No less
It makes you
No more.
It just makes you
The one to love
For evermore.

Snow falls coming lightly down
Melting ‘fore hitting ground
Thoughts of pureness flowing down
Freezing out illness, blight
Softly pushing them far into night
Cleansing, keeping warm
Cold dark earth on the ground.
Snow falls I can see
Cleansing too my responsibility
I must be like the snow
Let it fall, let it go
Landing, changing all I know
Trust it’s right, trust it will
Make alright like the snow
Covers, warms the land
Til spring’s beauty can make a stand.
This my snow comes lightly down
Melting ‘fore hitting ground.

Similar to all, unique in itself
Glory and strife part of the time
Needed to rhyme.
Glorious, glorious rhyme
Similar but not the usual
No, unique this glorious rhyme
Travelling
Travelling gently thru time.

Let the autumn show my love
Let it fall upon heartfelt ears
Seen today amongst the treasures
Gathered all these years.
I will love you best you see
For you are all the world
Just to me.
Let the autumn
Share my love
Here upon the land
I love.
For loving you
I can see
Is a major part
Of my loving destiny.
Let it be
In this autumn land
I will care
And love you grand.
We will together
Travel thru winter’s cold
Into spring and on to
Summer’s promised land.
Where our love will dwell
In a loving
Loving autumn land.

To be proud of yourself.
To be secure in who you are.
That is something worthwhile
And worth striving for.
An accomplishment.
An accomplishment to be proud of.

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.
