I don’t know
I haven’t seen
anything of consequence
nothing that
hasn’t been.
You too
have you seen
anything important
anything
that’s been?
Maybe together
maybe as one
we’ll be able to understand
understand
all that has been
all that
has been done.

You spoke
but
you didn’t say
words of wisdom
nor
great things
No, not today
Makes me wonder
do you know
what it’s all about?
Or
Just wording words
you’ve heard
but
never cared
thought about?

Can I help you see?
Can
you help me be?
Together
we’ll march
right into history
no casualties
no one left
behind
I’ll grasp your hand
you’ll grasp mine
That’s all we need
you’ll lead
we’ll be just fine.

You don’t know
and
I can’t tell you
what will happen
in
your life
or
mine.
We must be
optimistic
we must trust
the heavenly
has us in their hands
guiding us
through
the darkest night.
I’ll say a prayer
for you
please say one
for me
and
may we come together
joined
in
our destinies.

You are not alone
never think
you are
Hear the bells toll
they ring
no matter where
you are
So sing
their song of glory
and
future bright
Cause all of us
together
will survive
We’ll love
we’ll pull together
knowing we can
rid the world
of
this terrible blight.

Falling asleep
staying awake
the same
but
a difference
I can’t contemplate.
Each night
when
I go to bed
I wonder which one
will be swirling round
in
my head.
My body must follow
my feet align
for
whatever happens
it’ll start right there
in
my head.
Falling asleep
or
staring straight ahead.

I fall between the cracks
I stay in limbo
I just keep in a sway
not moving forward
standing still
all day.
Will it be
the same tomorrow?
The same as today?
Will I look ahead
but
never, never
find
my way?

There seems
not to be
a lot of sense, logic
nor
harmony
basking itself
in
sunny beauty.
All that seems
to exist
is
anger
hatred and strife
screaming obscenities
throughout
the long cold, horrid night.
Let me
feel
the gift of love
enveloped
in
beauty, happiness
near
people who care.
Not those who
only seek
to
destroy.
Oh please, please
let me.

Heaven told me
not to tell
About the kind gestures
You gave to all that needed love
So I didn’t
I didn’t tell
Instead
I held you in my arm’s embrace
To let you know as well
You are loved
You are needed
But
Please don’t tell
For heaven needs you
Heaven wants you
There
To do your work of kindness
Cause
You do it oh so well.

Hold me
don’t let me
down
let me feel
all the wonders
that
do abound.
Hold me
show me the way
guide me
down the path.
Send me
on my way
to
love
from heaven
comes.
Love
from all I loved
yesterday
and
hope
in my future
those
I love today.
